I really like the way they have repurposed pallets and other bits of wood to make their displays:
Mum and I always head for the crockery sections first.. we both have a bit of an obsession with tea cups...
While as you know I had to keep a strict watch on what was coming home in the suitcases, some of the above teacups did come home with us! And I used one of them to give mum a cup of tea in bed on her birthday at the hotel in Arabia:
See those soup bowls in the picture below?
We have them here in Australia too.. I was interested to see if they also had recipes on them like we do:
Sure enough, they do! The tomato soup one was in English:
and it actually looks like a nice recipe - I think I'll try it one day!
The other ones were in Dutch - the ones in the back right were Mushroom Soup recipes, and the ones on the left were Soup of the Day recipes - French Onion Soup and Clear Oxtail Soup:
Didn't get a clear enough photo of the Dutch recipes, might have to send my cousin back to check them out - haha!
I bought some of my favorite childhood comics:
Yeah, they were heavy, but so far I really hadn't bought much! (No I didn't buy them all!)
I saw this cute vintage suitcase that I thought DD would like...
...but didn't buy it.
There was a bucket full of Dutch knitting needles:
Dutch knitting needles are different than Australian ones in that they are much longer. Last time I was there I bought a bunch to take home, so I didn't need any more this time.
I thought this would have been fun to do something with if I lived there:
I wonder what happened to the rest of the machine....
There wasn't a lot to tempt me in the end, so that was good! Mum was happy with her teacups and I was happy with my comics!
