Quimper Hittys 
Fabulous! Who would ever expect that? The little elf and mouse are the cutest ever!
Thank you! Maybe next year I can attempt a radish Hitty!
Totally cute, and what a great festival. The QHs must have been completely thrilled to learn of this celebration.
One has to wonder if this is part of a much older tradition that pre-dates the introduction of radishes to Mexico.
I am not a very experienced radish artist, but when the Quimper Hittys heard about this festival, they insisted on participating.
I am totally impressed…both by the radish art you and Min have created but also by the fact that you KNOW about this festival. I declare that reading your entries is an education. A delightful and fun education!
We like to find interesting things to celebrate – We’ve been to apple harvest celebrations, so why not a holiday for a lowly root vegetable! It is always nice to have a food-related fun time!
Did not know about the Night of the Radishes. So interesting and educational. Min fits right in. She is having a good time.
Min is always ready for fun, though wishing we had giant radishes here like the ones in Oaxaca!
MUM! You were right, this is hilarous!!
A small holiday, devoted to a small vegetable is just what we needed in the bustle before Christmas!
I don’t know how you know all of these things!!! Great radish art!!!
Well when I hear about something interesting, I take note, and then the Quimper Hittys find out and bug me about it!
This is absolutely delightful! What enchanting little sculptures you have created! I am so glad that there are little icons at the bottom of the daily posts, because sometimes I don’t get notifications of posts and then get to catch up by checking the tiny photos with their links to great fun. It took me 3 years to find this one, but it was worth the wait! I love radishes, and now, I love them even more!
We love this celebration! So unique and wonderful!
You have made it even more so!
