Dutch markets

Buttons galore at Doetinchem's market

and the fabrics, so plentiful and yummie for a Dutch woman living
in the Caribbean...

Imagine a big marketplace full of stands with fabrics like these, some for only 1 euro per metre!
Every week again, the day depends on which city you visit. But every Dutch city does have a weekly market, whereas fabric shops are very hard to find nowadays.
The Eastern part of the Netherlands has a very rich history in the textile industry and compared to other provinces of Holland, the markets in this region are still considerably big.

The cold has gone, it is not freezing anymore and today we have rainy weather.
For me however it was a beautiful day, with a visit to my beloved fabric market!
Tomorrow I will post some pictures of the fabrics I purchased
