Today I traveled to a wet and windy Amsterdam with my dear friend Caroline. We were planning on doing some shopping for clothes in one of our favourite shops. We tried on lots of lovely dresses, skirts and cardigans. It was so hard to choose that it took us about 2 hours until we were happy with our choices.
This cute dress is one of the items I bought. :) 
We also visited the Kitsch Kitchen shop were I found two lovely pieces of oilcloth (red w/white dots and a flower print) in the bargain bin and bought some kitschy but cute cards. We also found time to visit a lovely litlle shop which sold an enormous variety of ribbons, lace, trims and tassels (see the photos). Of course I couldn't leave that shop emptyhanded and bought 3 different woven ribbons with cute animals on. :) Our last stop before hopping on the train again, was Waterstone's a bookstore where they solely sell English Books.
On the photo above I was posing on one of the many bridges over the Amsterdam canals.
What fun (even if it was wet and windy)!! Does your friend like to sew/stitch? I wish I had a friend here to liked to do those things, but I suspect that my friends actually think I'm a bit mad with it all! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is fun to see all these nice photos! What an interesting day!
ReplyDeletesounds like a lovely day trip despite the rainy weather.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was much fun! My friend is of the non-crafty type but that's ok our main goal was buying clothes. I think I only spend 10 minutes in the trim/tassel shop but there was too much to choose from anyway!
ReplyDeleteAmsterdam is high on my list of "places I must visit one day." Love the photo with all the colors, so pretty. Pretty dress too! Great choice :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I think I visited that very same ribbon shop this summer! I bought some windmill ribbons but I was hard pressed not to buy the fairytale ribbons they had.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice time you had with your friend in Amsterdam!! That clothing store looks a like a fun place to go shop!!
ReplyDeletewet and windy is weather most familiar to me, so I'd be right at home!
ReplyDeleteOne day I'll visit Amsterdam. I really will. I've only been saying it since I was a teenager.
Sounds like a fun shopping trip with a friend, and it was fun for me to see and hear about a place I'll probably never get to visit :)
