through the glass

I love going into new shops, especially small boutique places that seems almost hidden, it's like finding a treasure somewhere you don't expect it.  

I read  a book - Amsterdam : Made by Hand,  before we went and it was my little guide. So thank you Pia! I bought a tea pot  in one of the shops and it's so sweet. lovely stuff on their site too...

by the way the first photo is a hairdresser window, but I liked it too much not to take a photo...

Hi there, I'm back, recharged, full of ideas and projects. Thank you all for coming back. I hope you are having nice summer and have some time to relax.  I will be introducing a new contributor to this blog next week...can't wait:). But for now...

Couple of weeks ago we visited Amsterdam for a few days. The weather was fantastic, everyone relaxing, dining and drinking on their houseboats or by the river, looking chilled and cool. In the end we stayed in this hotel, which was great, ate in here, walked a lot , took the boat trip and did  a bit of shopping...I could easily live there. What a great city! tomorrow I show you few more photos from there through the shop windows...

see you later!

Amsterdam

We are planning a short trip to Holland in August and this place seems like a perfect place to stay while visiting Amsterdam. By the way have you got  any other tips for hotels or guesthouses in Amsterdam?
