Simply beautiful items at Landelijke Boerderij
One of my weaknesses (or strengths) is visiting markets. I just prefer going around when the day is sunny or at least dry. It’s pretty optimistic to want to have sunny days in the Netherlands, so when the sun shines, I’m in my market visiting mood. We’ve just moved into a new home, so I am on the look out for some previously loved pieces.
I’m sure other women out there feel the same. A visit to your nearby flea market or a Dutch farmhouse can be such a treat! Tiny treasures are there — waiting for you to take them home. Just make sure that these are not purely impulse buys. Hang around and caress the items that seem to call out your name. Ask yourself if you’ll cherish them for a long while or think of someone you know who wants it. This could make a good friend or sister very happy. And while you’re there, soak in the creative atmosphere and the energy of a simpler life. Very refreshing!
In the Netherlands, there are cozy farmhouses (boerderij) that sell antiques and other great finds. Even second hand wedding dresses. It’s a different feeling entering one that just going to the website and buying something with a click of the button.
The Landelijke Boerderij sells wonderful pieces! They have an ongoing selection of items for sale online. Check out their photos! It’s worth a visit when you’re in the area — they’re open on Sunday afternoons only.

I really love doing this kind of shopping whenever I travel abroad. I was always a fan of Pipi Longstocking and how her sea-faring father would always bring her little treasures from other countries. It’s so fun to find something special that cannot be bought in a regular store as a souvenir.
