vintage brandy bottle

New guy in da house.

A matador. Well, a glass matador.

A vintage (1950s) Brandy Bottle from Lammie Saturday Shop in Dordrecht.

Henk spotted the matador, when he went to Lammie last Saturday, while I was at work. It was a brandy bottle from Lammie's private collection, but she decided to sell this guy in the shop.

Now in our living room with a dried allium, instead of brandy inside. Cheers to the weekend anyway!

vintique

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.

apple & pear

Curiosities on the tiny table:

The pear jar is a gift from my sweetheart.
He bought the pear for me last Saturday at Lammie's Saturday shop in Dordrecht. (he knows what i like)
The vintage apple mirror is from Marseille.
The tile is a souvenir from Sevilla, we bought it in a antique shop years ago.
Old german book about trees from Berlin.

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.
