Normaly the stores in Amsterdam close between 16 and 18, but on Thursdays they stay open to 21.00. So I took a little shopping tour in Amsterdam after work yesterday.
I must say I found some interesting stuff. For about a month now, I have seen these huge elephants with paint on them around in the city. Yesterday In the shopping mall with the most of them, I found a tiny exhibition where they sold miniatures of the elephants and you could even win one of the big ones.. this is one of my favorite paintings:
At the same shopping mall as I found the elephants I also found a weird puzzle
I also went to Hanazuki witch is both a studio and a boutique. I have only visited the boutique. I love the stuff they sell, but most of it is so expensive!
It is a cool little store that I can recommend if you have some money to spend on fun or cute stuff. Or if you want a fancy but cheap analogue camera. You can find the store at Vijelstraat 87, or a couple of minutes of walking straight north of the Heineken museum.
“The future is Analogue”
the day ended with some awesome stuff! I bought a fish eye 2 camera, film, a book to put photos in and color flash from Hanazuki, a Lipstick from bodyshop and some candy from a candy store.
