Happy Easter!

Hi y’all! Hope you’re heaving a lovely Easter! I certainly have! Since Friday was Good Friday, I had the day off and went to the Bag museum (Tassenmuseum Hendrikje) in Amsterdam with my mum. It really is the cutest little museum, with lots of old, weird and amazing bags. Prada even donated a piece of its S/S 12 collection: an awesome green/yellow pair of flame shoes with matching bag. How cool is that?! And of course my mum bought a bag in the gift shop. I’m so jealous! It’s a real timeless white and tan bag from BOO! Of Belgium. But she promised I could borrow it sometimes  ;). After a short lunch at the museum, we walked back to the station via the Albert Cuyp market. We stumbled upon this cute vintage store Carnaby Street, where I bought a tan blazer (on sale!). It really was a nice mother-daughter day, and yes I know that sounds soppy! Since we don’t really celebrate Easter (I’m not religious as you may have noticed), I’m hoping to persuade my parents to go the flea market in Den Bosch tomorrow. I really love nosing trough other peoples junks, you never know what little treasures you may find. My dad keeps saying we won’t go, but I know he loves the flea market just as much as I do. He’s a real sucker for copper candles sticks (we have about 12 pairs), so I know he won’t be able to resist. And of course my mum has no real say in the question, we’ll just drag her along :P. But besides the whole shopping/browsing part I still love it, since it’s one of the few things we still do together as a family… besides watching the entire DVD collection of Midsomer Murders. Somehow I think we all have some sort of Easter tradition, whether it’s going to church or going to the flea market. Anyway, I hope you get to spend Easter with your friends and family, and have a lovely holiday!



p.s. They weather channel reported that our Easter is going to be colder than our Christmas! We’re having snow on Easter (which was absent with Christmas)!
