Book binding fair in Leiden #2

Yesterday I drove on a very foggy morning towards the city of Leiden to see once again the paper fair as I like to call it, but its real name is Boekkunstbeurs.
I must admit that it wasn't as good as last year, for some reason many stalls were missing. But, I did manage to see some interesting work, and revisited a favorite from a year ago.

The work of John Spencer is absolutely incredible. I really loved it all. Chatting with him was the highlight!

 Water Leaf Press was my favorite from last year, and I love her new work as well.

 Kamiya Paper has stunning handmade paper.

As always I tend to forget to ask about cards... I just take pictures of what I like, and then I get home to write a post and there are no names to link back. So this one and the ones below are purely for inspiration.

Lots of pictures, not so many words. I think the pictures speak for themselves and don't need my opinion added.
I hope all is well at you end. I'm very excited about a concert I'm going tonight, I have been waiting 20 years to listen to them live, so yes!!! Very, very excited!!!

Vlieger - A paper store in Amsterdam

If you happen to live here and love  paper (that is) chances are you have been to Vlieger (many times).    

It is one of my favorite stores here in Amsterdam, and I just needed to show it to you in case you haven't visited or heard of it.

There is paper, paper and more paper (too many kinds to list here). Lots of washi-tapes, glues and bookbinding materials, and the added bonus that the second floor is an art supply store -run by the same people.

I hope that by the pictures you get a clear idea of how paper intense the store is, and if you are visiting then this should really be on your must see list.

Vlieger is open from Monday through Saturday
Amstel 34
1017 AB Amsterdam

If you need more craft stores in Amsterdam they are here.

Have a great day and see you back here on thursday (I'll be posting 2 times per week).

P.S: Suzi, your kind of store right???
