A fine cold day in the city

 

These are bags made from ties.

I already posted a blog about the fair (with handmade products) in Dutch. So for all the people who can't read Ducth, a brief introduction. Last sunday there was a fair at Groningen. People only sold their handmade stuff that day and some materials with which you can make your own stuff. So me and my mum decided that we had to go there, because we love to see handmade things. And off course we hoped we could buy some materials to make our own things.

The fabric, lace and CD

So, yesterday we went to Groningen. It was very cold (poor people who have to stand all day at the fair!) but it was fun! It was so nice to see all the different things people made of different materials. I didn't buy any handmade objects, because most of the time I thought, well,  I can make that myself easily. So I only bought a piece of lovely vintage fabric :D (yay for vintage!) and some vintage lace :) After the fair we did some more shopping in Groningen I bought a nice green sweater and a Nick Drake CD.
We spend the night at Michael's (my mum's boyfriend) place. Because we wanted to go to another shop which wasn't opened on sunday. When we left the house this morning, it was snowing, with really big snowflakes :D! There also was a student protest in the city, because the government wants to make studying almost impossible for all students and students-to-be. If you want to read more about this subject, my good friend Nelson wrote TWO(!) blogs about it (in Dutch) so click :)

I also had to buy a new mobile phone, because my is completely blue, so I can't see what I'm doing anymore :P Now I've one with a Qwerty keyboard, because this was a cheap one and I don't want to spend a lot of money on a mobile phone. On our way to the multimedia store I saw something that reminded me of a person who means a lot to me! Do you want to know what is was? Scroll down ;)

Ta-daaa!
