Treasure Hunting

Finally today the sun was keen on shining for a little while so it was time to get out from the apartment and join again to the city's buzzing flow of course by bike. If I go out for a visit it is always necessary to see what is happening on the flea market. I feel very lucky here because I found 2 very amazing ones, one is at the Waterlooplein and the other is the Noordenmarkt. I have a very special connection with second hand items, I am a kind of addicted. My addiction is started when I was very little and I started to discover my grandmother's garderobe. She had such beautiful, shiny treasures: clothes, shoes, accessories, jewellery, bags, scarfs, hats etc. I got so fascinated and I started to wear her clothes and when I got a little bit bigger I was accompanying her for the treasure hunt into the second hand shops. Since then I am still mesmerized by the colours, materials, forms and the feeling that what I can find today:) This thought always give me excitement because I have to dive in a mountain of mostly very shitty clothes,things and somewhere among them some unique pieces are waiting for me!

The big advantage of second hand shops is that you don't have to be a millionaire to be stylish. You can design your own unique style from coins.

I invited my friend Elena to come with me. First we went to the Waterlooplein - I successfully collected new items for my garderobe: a winterjacket (Vila), black trousers (Zara), running termo-t-shirt only for 15 Euros!!!! After we were heading to Noordenmarkt but it was closed unfortunately (or fortunately now I don't know).

After a lot of walking we felt like sit down. We found a very lovely cafe on the way and I felt so tempted to drink a cup of coffee. Now I have to confess that I had a very tasty cup of coffee....and I didn't smoke and the wish was not in my head at all (Success!!!!). As I don't believe in the fascist approach of changing things, so if the situation requires I allow myself to drink it with joy from time to time and the most important is that I exiled it from my daily routine. To be honest I still love coffee:)
After a great conversation about life and relationships and a lot of walking and biking finally I arrived home. The only thing I need now is a warm shower and a foot massage!

Have a wonderful evening!
