Hollænderne kan altså noget med papir, stempler, plakater og illustrationer!!!

Jeg har badet i eyecandy i 48 timer – og brugt små 1000 kr på at shoppe papir, magasiner, smykker, retroting og maskingtape fra følgende butikker:

Shopping guide for papirnørder og kreagrej plus det løse…:

  • Athenaeum Boekhandel‘, Spui 14-16: Internationale magasiner
  • Stormagasinet ‘de Bijenkorf‘, Dam 1: Pip Studio og det hollandske magasin Flow Magazine
  • De 9 straatjes‘ (De 9 gader): Smykker, postkort, illustrationer, retro, genbrug, kaffe
  • Vlieger‘, Amstel 34: Papir, papir, papir!!! (Rullet sammen fra store ark – lidt heldigt at være i bil, så det ikke krøller eller bliver bukket)
  • Posthumus‘, Sint Luciënsteeg 23-25: Stempler
  • Kitsch Kitshen‘, Rozengracht 8-12: Indisk kitsch
  • Hema‘, Nieuwendijk 174-176: Papirsposer, gavepapir, stempler, stempelpuder og maskingtape til uhyre lave priser. Genialt koncept!!! (Og softice til 50 cent)
  • Raw Materials‘, Rozengracht 229-231: Orange trashede husnumre
  • Wow To Go – Feel Good Fashion‘, Reestraat 18: Skønne blomstrede retrokrus (og de mest fantastiske flower power Yvonne-kjoler)

Dansk pop-up shop hos Lomography i Amsterdam

Selvom vi ikke lige købte et kamera, fik vi den længste snak og sødeste betjening i Lomography, Herengracht 298, der sælger Old school new School fotoapparater.

De har også en midlertidig pop-up shop med dansk kunsthåndværk, design og Bülow lakrids – og de sejeste notesbøger, rejseguider, chapbooks og scrapbooks for en papirfoto-nørd som mig…

Begrebet chapbook havde jeg aldrig hørt om før – det er dem, der er på dagens moodboard – i hollandsk orange, selvfølgelig!

Priser som i Danmark

Prisniveauet er stort set som i Danmark, så billig ferie er det ikke…

Vi boede forholdsvist billigt og centralt på Hotel Asterisk, Den Texstraat 16, tæt på det hippe kvarter De Pijp, hvor vi fik 2 overnatninger for 128 euro. Derfra var vi i gåafstand til alt i Amsterdam.

TAK til Instagram

Havde det ikke været for opdateringer og dialog via Instagram med to hollandske følgere @dinnisje og @gnoe, var jeg gået glip af papirforretningen ‘Vlieger‘ – som jeg vel nok brugte en hel time i – samt den enestående stempelbutik ‘Posthumus‘.

Elsker virkelig at være en del af det medie!!!!

TAK Amsterdam for 48 fantastiske timer!!!

TAK for 48 timer udnyttet til det yderste – tanket op med fotos, kreagrej og masser af inspiration.

Og tak til min dejlige kæreste for den største shopping tålmodighed ♥

Kærlig hilsen Susanne

Sweet memories from Amsterdam

The Dutch are really amazing with paper, stamps, posters and illustrations!

I have been overwhelmed with eyecandy for 48 hours – and spent around 1,000 DKR to shop paper, magazines, jewelry, retro stuff and maskingtape from the following stores:

Shopping guide for paper nerds and creative supply:

  • Athenaeum Boekhandel‘, Spui 14-16: International magazines
  • de Bijenkorf‘, Dam 1: Pip Studio and the Dutch magazine Flow Magazine
  • De 9 straatjes‘ (De 9 gader): Jewellery, postcards, illustrations, retro, recycling and coffee
  • Vlieger‘, Amstel 34: Paper, paper, paper!!!
  • Posthumus‘, Sint Luciënsteeg 23-25: Stamps
  • Kitsch Kitshen‘, Rozengracht 8-12: Indian kitsch
  • Hema‘, Nieuwendijk 174-176: Paper bags, wrapping paper, stamps and maskingtape for very low prices. Brilliant koncept!!! (And soft ice to 50 cent)
  • Raw Materials‘, Rozengracht 229-231: Orange trashed house numbers
  • Wow To Go – Feel Good Fashion‘, Reestraat 18: Retro mugs (and the most amazing flower power dresses)
  • Lucie’s‘, St Luciensteeg 22, and ‘Beadies‘, Huidenstraat 6: Jewellery and beads
  • Flower market‘, Singel 610-616: Flowers and bulbs

Danish pop-up shop at Lomography in Amsterdam

Although we didn’t buy a new camera, we got the longest chat and sweetest service in Lomography, Herengracht 298, selling Old school New school cameras.

They also have a temporary pop-up shop with Danish crafts and design – and the coolest notebooks, travel guides, chap books and scrap books for a paper photo geek like me…

I had never heard of the term chap book before – they are the ones that are on the mood board – in Dutch orange, of course!

Prices as in Denmark

The price level is basically the same as in Denmark, so it isn’t a cheap holiday…

We stayed relatively cheap and centrally located on Hotel Asterisk, the Texstraat 16, close to the trendy De Pijp quarter where we got 2 nights for 128 euros. From there we were in walking distance to everything in Amsterdam.

THANKS to Instagram

Had it not been for updates and dialogue via Instagram with two Dutch followers @dinnisje and @gnoe, I have missed the paper shop ‘Vlieger‘ – which I probably spent an hour in – as well as the unique stamp shop ‘Posthumus‘.

I really love being a part of that media!!

THANKS Amsterdam for 48 amazing hours!

Thank you for 48 hours utilized to the utmost – filled up with photos, creative supply and lots of inspiration.

And thanks to my lovely boyfriend for the most amazing shopping patience ♥ ♥ ♥

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne ♥

Retro, kitschy Amsterdam

20140712-232540-84340933.jpg

I ♥ Amsterdam

Jeg er VILD med Amsterdam!!! Min absolutte yndlingshovedstad i Europa!!!

Det er den fedeste kombination af genbrug, design, kitsch, trash, flower power og boheme. Alt sammen pakket ind i gennemtænkte butikskoncepter, hvor intet er overladt til tilfældighederne… – Krydret med skøn streetart og et åbentsindet folkefærd, der er perfekte til engelsk!

Har været i Amsterdam for snart 10 år siden med en veninde. Dér havde vi en uges tid til at se det hele – denne gang havde min kæreste og jeg kun 48 timer… Og de blev udnyttet maks!!!

Shopping, slendren og god mad

Amsterdam er lidt som København – alt kan nås i gåafstand, og du kommer hurtigt til at gå 10 km om dagen på kryds og tværs af byen, på tværs og langs af alle kanalerne.

Vi sprang alle muséerne over – jeg har set en del af dem, og resten har vi til gode til næste gang.

Så vi fik shoppet igennem – især i ‘De 9 gader’ og i Jordaan, som er byens boheme kvarter.

Vi fik vandret langs kanalerne, nydt synet af husbådene og de smukke, smalle huse. Drukket kaffe to go i solen og spist lækker mad godt hjulpet af danske rejseguider og anbefalinger på hjemmesider…

Mine anbefalinger til frokost, kaffe og middag

  • Til frokost kan jeg anbefale ‘Buffet van Odette’ på Prinsengracht 598 – sund ærlig mad, lavet fra bunden…
  • Til aften en god bøf på en nedlagt tobaksfabrik ‘Brasserie Harkema’ på Nes 67
  • Den bedste kaffe har vi fået i den sejeste NGO og socialøkonomiske sko- og brilleforretning ‘Toms’, Runstraat 13 – og den anden bedste på ‘Mazzo’, på Rozengracht 114, som havde den lækreste indretning!

Overvejer du selv, om turen skal gå til Amsterdam, er det bare med at komme af sted :)

Blogindlæg følger om mine favorit shoppingsteder i Amsterdam…

Kærlig hilsen Susanne ♥

Retro, kitschy Amsterdam

I ♥ Amsterdam! My absolute favorite capital in Europe!

It is the coolest combination of recycling, design, kitsch, trash, flower power and bohemian. All this wrapped in amazing shopping concepts where every detail is totally planned… All spiced up with beautiful street art and an open mind Dutch people, who loves talking English!

I have been in Amsterdam almost 10 years ago with a friend. There we had a week to see it all – this time my boyfriend and I only had 48 hours… And they were exploited to the max!

Shopping, walking and good food

Amsterdam is a bit like Copenhagen – everything is within walking distance, and you are easily walking 10 km a day criss-crossing the city, across and along all the beautiful canals.

We chose not to see any museums – I’ve seen some of them earlier, and the rest will wait for us some other time.

So we went shopping!! Especially in ‘The 9 streets’ and in Jordaan, the city’s bohemian quarter.

And we loved walking along the canals, enjoying the sight of the houseboats and the beautiful, narrow houses. We had coffee to go in the sun and had delicious food helped by Danish travel guides and recommendations on websites…

My recommendations for lunch, coffee and dinner

  • For lunch, I recommend ‘Buffet van Odette’ at Prinsengracht 598
  • For dinner a good steak at a former tobacco factory ‘Brasserie Harkema’ at Nes 67
  • The best coffee we’ve got in the coolest NGO and social economy footwear and eyewear business ‘Toms’, Runstraat 13 – and the second best in ‘Mazzo’ at Rozengracht 114, which had the most delicious decor!

Are you considering to go to a trip to Amsterdam – I can only say: DO IT!

Blog post will follow with all my favorite shopping places in Amsterdam…

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne ♥
