Lucky birds

Introducing to you: my desktop friends at work! They are called orange lucky birds…

Made for the E.K. but since we lost nobody is interested in having them anymore. That was my chance! 

The big one is holding my rings which I take off during the day. 

Wooden shoe sale

Pick your wooden shoe of your liking :)

Two more

I stay one post more with the Gouda cheese, I like both pictures.



For some reason national folklore, habbits, customs and food is getting more and more attention and is in fashion. One of them is paintings of cows. Loads of people make and sell cow pictures. You also start to see them more on products..

Sinterklaas

Today is Sinterklaas eve!! Enjoy the day everybody!!

Chocolate Letter

It's that time of the year that you buy goodies for the night of St Nicolas (the 5th of December). This are letters, usually you get a chocolate letter of the first letter of your name...

Marzipan piggy

I am not into the Sinterklaas celebrations, but I do eat some of the goodies which you can buy. This is a marzipan piggy I endulged in. Sweet marzipan with a little bit of chocolate coating. I ate all and felt guilty....

Tulips at the market

I have been to the market this morning. One stand, I realized is probably very Dutch. A stand only selling tulips bulbs. Selections of dark purple and pink tulip bulbs. Red and yellow, different shapes and sizes. I don't know what it is with tulips. It's one of the national symbols as a flower they are nothing special, still I like them. From time to time I buy a bunch.

Goodies

Sinterklaas has arrived!, tomorrow more....

Flowers

I made a short round to see what is interesting to shoot for Daily. I guessed that a lot of the scenes and things people are doing are similar all over the world.

In the supermarket I thought this must look the same everywhere, except maybe for this shot. Each supermarket, big or small sells flowers. Two ladies are looking for a nice bunch of flowers to put on the table, give to a friend or something(when you bring a small visit it is a custom to bring some tulips are whatever). Do you see this kind of flower stalls also at your supermarket?

Buttermilk

If you are in Holland and you want to drink some milk take a similar looking mug but then one which is mainly blue, the red color indicates that it is buttermilk..
