Amsterdam

Yesterday me and my friend took the train to Amsterdam for a Spring Shopping trip. I was too busy checking out all the lovely shops to take photos. So this is a last-minute-while-we-were-waiting-for-the-tram-to-take us-back-to-the-station-kind-of-photo. ;)  It was a rainy day but that didn't bother us too much. One of the things I purchased is this cute cardi. The roses are bullion stitches isn't that sweet?

I also bought a cute dress with cherries and birds on. :) At the English Bookstore I picked up this book:

The animated movie Coraline, which I loved, was based on this story by Neil Gaiman and I'm very curious about the rest of the stories too! Has any of you read this book?

If you feel like treating yourself to something wonderful too, then check out the e-book Stitch Village. A lovely collection of 5 patterns (for an I pod case, a doll  and an embroidery pattern for example) by Joan of the adorable Nini makes blog. I received my copy last week and it's great and so well written! And if that isn't enough reason to treat yourself to a copy: a percentage of each sold copy goes to charity! :)
 
Hope you all have a great weekend!
