After lunch at the IJ-kantine we had a wonderful boat trip on the NDSM ferry to the city center of Amsterdam.
Starting with a walk through the Haarlemmerstraat and back along the Brouwersgracht, where we happened to meet Mariette, owner of From Africa With Love.
She invited us in her home & gallery with handmade, recycled products from South Africa.
The collection consists of beautiful and original handmade lighting (Magpie) and furniture (Adobe), home and kitchen textiles (Skinny Laminx).
I fell in love with the Magpie lights and yellow coffee table.
We were more than pleasantly surprised by this visit and Mariette radiates sincere Love From Africa.
