May,

A new spring month,



May, so a new page on the 'Dutch costume' calander.



And time to show the new tree picture!



can you believe the changes that happened these last few weeks!
The tree is full with fresh new leaves. The differences are enormous!



With the kids in school we have been making surprises for mothersday.
This year we made these cute cup cakes!



Make your own playdough and start!

Klederdracht in februari,

As you know I love the Old Dutch costumes, klederdracht, and its history.
So I treaded myself and ordered this birthday calander here And today it arrived.



Every month it shows a different place with its own old traditional clothing, styled in a modern way.

This month it shows a woman with a special cap on from Huizen



From some old books I have I made these pictures with more clothing from Huizen,



The colors of the costume of Huizen are a bit sober, but the beautiful laced cap (cornet)compensated that.



Here you can see that putting on a cap is a complycated business.

Now ofcours it is great we all can wear what we want these days, but I sure think it still is very pretty to see!

Groetjes,
