 The ABC by Nathalie_B
The American Book Center stores are located in 3 cities: The Hague, Amsterdam, and Leuven (Belgium). In general, books in the Netherlands are expensive, you'll pay at least 1,5 times more than you would pay for the same book in the US. But, if you're student and have your valid ID with you, you'll get 10% discount.
In The Hague the second floor has the bargain section where you can find second hand book. It may take you a while looking for what you want but if you're patient enough you can find some real good book for a very low price. Once I managed to find a book by Paul Theroux for only 3 Euro!

This is a large shop in an industrial site. It has a very large selection of cardmaking and scrapbooking materials and the prices afre good. The people (it is a family run shop) are very friendly. They have a loyalty card which costs 7.50 euros but gives 10% off all purchases. They regularly give classes and demonstrations of card making. There is a coffee area with free tea and coffee and a place for husbands to sit while their wives are shopping!

 tulips, Keukenhof Gardens by windsorgirl
I found the prices quite reasonable and so ordered several dozen as gifts to family and friends. They were all well received and produced beautiful blooms for many years afterward. Leave a Comment

 MY WELL USED FERRICI
COLLECTION by ATLC
My favourite brand is Claudio Ferrici for bags. It's a Dutch brand but with the Italian quality, craftmanship and style. My business case and several bags are all from this brand. You'd think I have enough but no... new models will have me drooling in no time.
To some Dutch people it is a disappointment that Claudio Ferrici was founded in 1985, by Jef and Henk van Gils. I would think we should be proud that it is a Dutch family with generations of experience in the leather industry, providing a wealth of knowledge in the art of fine leather styling, and quality. Their main goal has always been to provide the finest quality at reasonable prices.
Reasonable prices? Ahem. It is still a lot of money!
Ferrici uses the "Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale" mark for the main part of her leathergoods. This mark guarantees that the leather used to make the product has been tanned exclusively with vegetable extracts and without using any chemical substance that can be harmful to man. Well, this is what the website tells me. But to be honest I never considered it (although it is a good thing) because these bags appeal to me strongly.
From casual bags to business cases and accessories. The attention to the quality finishing is exquisite.
There are speciality shops in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Maastricht, The Hague. And several retailers in The Netherlands and throughout the world.
Hmm, should I tell? A Claudio Ferrici bag is easily € 150. A business case can be from € 300 Leave a Comment

Perhaps it s even satisfying to look at the pics ....keep a hanky at hand in case you might drool :-).
The pic I have taken from their site. Will replace it by my own soon.
I haven t looked carefully, but I do think it s a bit more expensive compared to what I pay in our shops. Leave a Comment

 MY OWN SENSEO CREMA by ATLC
It's a machine which uses special pads to make coffee per cup (or per two cups). For the design and development, Philips (Dutch manufacturer of electric appliances) and Douwe Egberts (Dutch coffee company) collaborated.
The coffee looks like espresso with a firm creamy layer. Tastes very good. I have quite lost my wish to buy an expensive espresso machine. Though I'd be the last to admit that true espresso is something of a different order.
Even though coffee per cup is more expensive than percolated coffee, the Senseo Crema entered many households in The Netherlands. The product is now being developed for other countries.
Around € 70 for the appliance
About € 3 for a pack of18 coffee pads. Leave a Comment
