I know, I know. You’re all thinking, “How can she write about the same market, in three consecutive posts?!?” But you’ll just have to trust me when I say that on a Saturday, it’s a completely different market!
Yes, I finally made it to the Amsterdam fresh food market! I keep finding them in other cities that we visit on a Saturday, and this weekend, I finally made it to the home market. Would you like to know more?
As much fun as I had wandering around the markets, I had in fact gone with a purpose in mind.
You see, now that I have a sewing machine again, this is a great place to go to find fabric! Would you like to know more?
It has been over a year since I went to the Noordermarkt on a Monday morning. I just hadn’t had reason to go.

Once Sinterklaas has visited the Nederlands the Christmas trees and decorations come out with a vengeance!
So do the Christmas markets. We put ourselves out there this weekend and headed off to the market in Amsterdam’s Museum Square. Would you like to know more?
Sometimes the stars align, and you get everything that makes you happiest all at once. I had a week like that last week. As the stars aligned, I was able to meet up with a friend I’ve spoken with almost every day in the last 5 years. We planned our weddings together, saw each other through good times and bad, and bought each other random gifts while traveling! (Doing our bit to keep the postal service alive!) Initially we lived on different continents, and in different time zones. We’re a lot closer now, but for one reason or another only actually met face to face last week! And we gossiped just like friends should. (Poor Himself.)
After picking her up from Schipol it was off to Leidseplein for dinner as I hadn’t had time to grocery shop! We may have then headed off for an after dinner whiskey.
The tasting menus at L&B are still amazing! Would you like to know more?
