Recycled Design furniture
Some of these are from random Internet pages (I'm sorry, I don't remember where from), but the last one is, of course, from Dutch Droog Design. I will make one someday (am collecting drawers for that purpose)...
Inspiration: the best thing I read this week... Street wisdom
" you can't choose where you came from, but you can choose where you go from there"
Amsterdam XIX - Pre-Packed-Pic-nic lunch (in a sunny spot with a view)
Our hosts at B&B Blossom are awesome. The amazing breakfasts they prepare for us each each day are so complete that today we decided to have a picnic by the canal, to enjoy the sun! Lovely.

Amsterdam VIII - Urban intervention
Amsterdam is full of graffitty - in certain áreas - some are really good (others are not)
Amsterdam VI - Begijnhof
The Begijnhof is one of the oldest inner courts in the city of Amsterdam. A group of historic buildings, mostly private dwellings. As the name suggests, it was originally a Béguinage. It bore close resemblance to a convent, although the beguines enjoyed greater freedom than nuns in a convent. While beguines took a vow of chastity, and while they considered themselves obliged to attend Holy Mass every day and pray various official prayers, they were free to leave the court at any time in order to get married.
Amsterdam V - Vinyl & bikes (a perfect combination?)
Drooling:
J spent the entire trip going in/out of vinyl stores. In awe.
Me, I spent the whole time checking out all the bikes. Finding it impossible to choose only one...
Amsterdam IV - Yummy food
1 - Dutch waffle with hot chocolate and sour cream (yum!)
2 - Different varieties of Gouda cheese
3 - Breakfast tray (a different menu prepared by our hosts every single day)
4 - Greek yogurt and raspberries while studying the city map
5 - Jasmin Green Tea
4 - Dutch bread pudding with red fruits and carrot cake
