Flamingos in a window.

Ok, so, I used to live around the corner from this place, and it’s taken me nearly two years to get in there, but I have finally gone in to the Katten Kabinet!

This is the place you go when you want to have a look at how cats are represented in art … Would you like to know more?
A small group of us got together again this year to head out East to Zwolle and the Handwerkbeurs! This was a much anticipated, and yet slightly scary prospect given how much opportunity there is to fall under the spell of some magical yarn!

I must admit that I had been looking forward to going back to this Hand Craft Fair since I was introduced to it last year! Would you like to know more?
Who needs tea and cake when you can have espresso martinis and a good cheese platter?

Titan and I returned to the Handbag Museum the other day, and in a fortuitous turn of events, they do allow photography! Just not flash photography. So get ready for the grand (abbreviated) tour!

Of course the first “handbags” for carrying all your personal items were pockets, and these were hidden in your grand, voluminous, all-encompassing skirts!
But when styles altered and silhouettes decreased in size, pockets became an external accessory! Would you like to know more?
