feathers

 You can find feathers everywhere. In Amsterdam most feathers you will find are grey pigeon feathers. I am always looking for dark or black ones. big black crow feathers are my favorite ones.

spring flower vases

Since a few months there is a new flowershop in the neighborhood where you can buy flowers by the piece. That is great. They seem to have nicer flowers than elsewhere. There are these old-fashioned cottage flowers, field flowers and parrot tulips you can see on classic paintings. The shop has no windows, just a warehouse door open to the street when the shop's open. Find it at Gerard Doustraat just past het Gerard Douplein.

I filled some of my vases and combined them with flowers from my own garden. The bottom vases have stacked compartments like the tulip vases from the 16th century.

Believe it or not, today mister Michael Kors visited my shop!! The things on the photo were his favorite items. And he loved the scent of a vase with hyacinths.
