I found this beautiful shop many years ago, and I'm always drawn to it. The music, the colors, the atmosphere, everything about it, is splendorous. Just off the Albert Cuypmarket and you are in another place, enamelware heaven! Besides carrying plenty of enamelware from many places like Ghana, Poland, China and Holland, they also have beads, music, rugs, and baskets for sale. Behind the counter is Roberto, the nicest man to have a conversation with on a rainy afternoon! What more can you ask for?
Happy Collecting!
Giova
P.S: Oh, and if your curious about what music was playing the day I was there; it is from Kanda Bongo Man from his King of Kwassa Kwassa album!
REMEMBER THERE IS STILL TIME FOR THE GIVEAWAY!!

DeleteLovely store. I love boxes, all kinds, I just don't have the space to collect more.

I also love boxes, so much that I forget what I have in each and then I have to open all of them to find what it is I'm looking for!!
Deleteyo tendría todas las herramientas del mundo, postales, botones, telitas (y si pienso más al final sería todo....... pero me limita mi cortisima capacidad economica y mi inestabilidad geográfica) a parte de mi colección de budas que la tendría en un cuarto
ReplyDeleteAyyy Doña Telita, te imaginas un cuartico solo para los budas?? Soñar no cuesta nada!!
DeleteIf money, space and moving so much around the world was not a problem for me I would definitely go for having as many books as I could. I love books. I love reading them once, twice and as many times as possible. I like to classify them in my bookshelf depending on my mood. Sometimes I use their size, some other times their color or according to how much I enjoyed the reading. I am almost an addict.
ReplyDeleteDuring Gianni's visit to London, she revealed me a secret: You don't choose books,, the books get to choose you. This means I am quite popular among them. I can't get into a bookshop and come out with my hands empty.
I love books as well, but I've started to give them away because they were just too many! Now I just think someone is enjoying and appreciating them. Lately I'm classifying them by author, meaning all the Kurt Vonnegut's and all the Benedetti's are in their own little place!
