Fleamarket and China lights

Hi people! How was your Christmas? I hope it was as merry as mine!
To take our mind of moving and packing we went to the flea market held at the Second day of Christmas (a very Dutch holiday, don't ask) at the Brabanthallen. After closing down of our own venue at the Veemarkthallen in Utrecht this has become are our go to place for antique and flea markets. They have lots of events throughout the year, so if you're ever near by I recommend a visit! I always find a good bargain there! And this time was no exception of course. We (my parents and I) found hanging medallion, 5 different blue and white egg cups, a white tea pot (5 euros!) and the piece de la resistance: the most amazing dinner service!

Pretty isn't it?!

After nosing through all the clutter people had brought along we went home to get ready for dinner and our next event on the agenda: The China Light at the Botanical Gardens of my home University Utrecht. We had wanted to go for a couple of times now, but every night the weather would turn dreadfully windy and wet. But last night it was finally dry, if not intensely cold! But we decided to be brave and bundle up. And it was worth it! 



 









Amazing right?! They are in town until January 4, so be quick! Can't make it? Watch a short video of the event here.




And guess what? When I woke up this morning there was snow! :D
