The folk art Museum

Traditional Swiss paper cutting--much more detailed than the German paper cutting

Great idea for a bed...kids simply slide under the parents!

Stephanie, Lindsey and I took a drive into the mountains to learn about the traditional swiss folk art of paper cutting. The little village had a quaint museum--Musée du Vieux Pays-d'Enhaut-- featuring the history of the people and included a vast collection of paper cuttings dating from the 1850s. Following our museum stop, we asked the clerk if there was a shop in town that sold paper cuttings. He directed us up the street to the gallery of an artist who was in her shop working on a current piece. Both Steph and I bought a little souvenir from her.
