When going to church, if not in traditional costume, then the women certainly need to have their heads covered.
In not too fancy hats, mind you.
What to buy: I passed Staphorst on a late Saturday afternoon and popped in to buy this cool black velvet cap. Meant for men, but then, I'm not from Staphorst!
What to pay: Around € 50-100

At the Roël Farmshop. See previous tip
What to buy: Besides ready painted teatrays and boxes you can also buy bare wooden trays (etc.) and paint to do this yourself.
