Giftsmas Market Season has commenced and Himself and I took ourselves off to our first-for-the-season at the Westergasfabriek over the weekend. It was filled with some of the most amazing hand-made products and art!
I love this stuffed toy stall, she makes the most wonderful flamingos! Beautiful stuffies are quite popular though, and there were more to be found just a few stalls away, both for sale, and as make-your-own project packs for a very good price! Would you like to know more?
The official beginning of the Giftmas season has come again to Amsterdam!
This year Turn on the Lights was celebrated with a giant marionette, which was an incredible feat of event planning! Would you like to know more?
Sometimes it’s only in the middle of showing friends around this beautiful city that I remember how long we’ve been here. (We lived on this very canal at one point.)
We remember every day how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city. Would you like to know more?
It has been a busy, but sad time in the Netherlands. Everywhere you go the flags are at half-mast.
The ramifications of nearly 200 Dutch people being killed, and over 30 Australians, has left me reflecting on how precious and yet fleeting life can be. Would you like to know more?
I’m sitting at my desk. It’s as good a place as any to be sitting, and begin this blog post. But I haven’t a clue what to write about. I’ve been reading this weekend’s Weekend Meditation over at the Kitchen, and ruminating on my own mediations for what the previous week has held, the up coming week has in store, and where I am at right now in my life.
It’s Summer. I’ve been busy revelling in it. Being outside. Just being in nature, which for me, in Amsterdam, means the park.
