Amsterdam !
Still, after living here in The Netherlands for 20 years I still get a kick out of how close things really are! A 40 minute train ride and I'm in the centre of Amsterdam!
First stop is always coffee!
Then it was to do a bit of shopping !
Lots of Dutch design fabrics !
and ideas !
Great advice !
Lots to see today !
A Cow Museum !
Plants outside in February!
A bicycle built for how many ?
This is an amazing art piece/candle holder !
Snails !
Butterflies
and one bird. Must be brilliant when all lit!
Lavender, rosemary and olive trees !
Amsterdam canal tours !
Very creative at finding green space!
So much green in Amsterdam !
In February !
A sidewalk cafe !
Cool !
Outside one hotel
Something for everyone !
Don't forget to look up !
Button Shop
Must be lovely in May when the wisteria is in bloom !
It's open !
Time to go back outside !
Amsterdam ! Life goes on !
yes, even the bedding gets hung out !
Dutch design !
A charming city to stroll through !
What's this ?
Oh, so you can take it apart !
And when you think it's a bit busy, you turn a corner and find yourself by the Amsterdam museum !
The view from a book store !
in the book store !
and a book !
Signs of Spring !
Thanks for a great day out !
Souvenirs !
A few neutral black fabrics for a new quilt idea !
