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)
  
• ‘Lucie’s‘, St Luciensteeg 22, samt ‘Beadies‘, Huidenstraat 6: Smykker og perler
• ‘Blomstermarkedet‘, Singel 610-616: Blomsterløg

[Vlieger papirforretning – som at være i papirhimlen]

[Posthumus stempelbutik – need I say more?]

[Flow Magazine – mit absolutte yndlingsmagasin!]

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:

• ‘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)

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 ♥
