Curiosities & coffee at Lammie's Saturday Shop on the marina quay in Dordrecht.

Lammie sells the best stuff from her treasure hunts from France. The pink (plant) table and zinc flower vase were irresistible and went with home us.

During the first weekends in June, Lammie and her friend Maria will organize a sales exhibition of their French finds. In Maria's large house at the Sarphatipark in Amsterdam, they use the ground floor and the whole upper floor for this exhibition and their friend/artist sets up all the rooms. This tradition is a great experience twice a year.

french curiosities

Just a small selection of the French finds by Lammie.
We picked the cute vegetable jug and a matching plate.

You can visit the Saturday shop with lots of great brocante finds from France almost every Saturday at the Knolhaven in Dordrecht.

french style

Last Saturday we visited the saturday-shop of our friend.

She brought back all sorts of beautiful 'new' stuff from France, the week before.

The Saturday shop at the Knolhaven in Dordrecht, is a colorful collection of cabinets, jugs, plates, glassware, towels, desk lamps, mirrors, chairs and tables.

We had our first 'outside coffee' of the season at the quay, overlooking the picturesque harbors of Dordrecht city center. Over coffee, we 'stared' at the newly arrived green and yellow folding table. And guess what...

One of the new arrivals, went straight back home with us!
Given the beautiful spring weather, a good decision and we have already enjoyed the french patio atmosphere in our garden for a couple of days.

amsterdam-visit habit

A visit to Amsterdam, mostly includes a bit of vintage treasure hunting at Neef Louis for industrial objects and Van Dijk & Ko for mainly hungarian furniture and wannahaves.
Both warehouses are packed with great stuff.

At Van Dijk & Ko we found a great plant stand, which needs a coat of paint. We wanted to take one of the industrial weighing scales, but don't have space enough on the kitchen counter.

We enjoyed a moment of spring sunshine on the bench at restaurant Waargenoegen, which unfortunately was not o p e n but n o p e.
