craftgrrl | i'm going to europe soon...

and i was wondering if there are any crafty things i should look for. i know its kind of vague, but i'm looking for specialty crafts and materials that i can bring back to the states or at least experience and look at.
i sew, paint, i did ceramics, i stencil, i knit, and i bake, almost anything handcrafted; just so you know.

i'm spending much of my time in germany (the frankfurt and Numberg area and probably also berlin)
we are also going to the part of austria between italy and germany
then to italy (venice and rome) [hopefully see some glass blowing there!]
slovenia
France (paris)
the netherlands (amsterdam)
maybe belgium because its on the way to the netherlands
and possibly denmark

also, i plan on crocheting cloches throughout my travels because we will be in the train too long.
i'm going to use this pattern after i teach myself how to crochet again.
