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.
