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.

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.

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.

curiosities

Hometown shopping in the historical centre of Dordrecht, often is a pleasant Saturday outing. We had coffee with Lammie and found an imperfect red plate rack for our kitchen.

Upon recommendation of Lammie, we also visited an exhibition of Rotterdam based artist Thea van Doorn at gallery Kunst & Vorm. Her newest work shows prints, arise with the use of the iPad. I like her style and bought her art book.
