So from the disclaimer under my Reunion Food post, you probably already understand that we were on vacation for a couple of weeks. We had an awesome time and I got a lot of shopping done while there.

For some odd reason stores like Michael´s and Hobby Lobby don´t exist in Holland. Big time crafting never hit off here. The same goes forother ´domestic arts´ like those in the kitchen.

Sure there are enough wonderful home cooks here, who are inventive and will go the length to get the supplies they need, but generally that brings you to crazy expensive specialty stores.

Not in the good old USofA. The kitchen and-or craft loot is everywhere to be picked up and enjoyed. So I had a blast. Just look at the picture here to see what wonderful items I scored. Some I bought in shops there, some I ordered online, and some I got as gifts from family members. I’m incredibly happy with ALL of it!

And the fact that I’ll soon have a nice, new, big kitchen, will actually give me room for my stuff!
