This month spring will start!!
And this month we finish and send all our swap envelopes with the fath quarters and a gift!
Old Dutch costumes of this month are from Volendam, a characteristic Dutch fishing village in the province Noord Holland.
And here you see them around 1950.
There has almost been no change.
These days everyone walks around in regular clothes.
Only a few people where typical clothes from Volendam, Maybe some for the toerists.
Now I do have to show you my monthly tree picture... Hope to do that on wednesday!
Until then
Groetjes,

I loved touring around the Volendam area! Typische Nederland!
I would love to see the Volendam area. My Oma had beautiful dolls with traditional clothing placed through out her home. They were made by my great grandmother. I was always fascinated by the secret pockets in the skirts, my Oma told me that was a special place to keep the mints to give to grandkids during church ;) she was funny.
This is very nice. Now I've learned two new things today March=Maart and a little of Volendam histroy. thank you.
this is the "shipping" month! what exciting!
