{a pretty little place}
nothing makes me happier than finding
a little gem of a place
unexpectedly
{this is the joy of travelling..........you are always discovering}
well that is what happened to us
when we were looking for
a cup of tea in Holland
we stumbled upon this darling little place in Apledoorn
I am so sorry I did not even get the name of it...I was just so happy to have found this pretty little place.......so I can't share
all I remember is that it is right around the corner from a place called beans & bagels
I arrived back home with many new decorating ideas in my head
first off.......I will be looking for some of these silver trays and dishes
to paint with chalkboard paint

I know my sis Kate actually gets some great silver trays at ...the dollar tree! & she paints up the center with chalkboard paint like that. I have one in my kitchen & it is remarkably study!!! My kids pound it around & it holds up beautifully! Lovely pics! Someday I'll travel...someday! :)
I love scouting out new places too. You just never know what you will find .. however I wish my finds would take me to Holland .. How FuN!!!

A very sweet spot. My Emma is in Amsterdam right now...backpacking through Europe for 2 months...envious of all the lovely things she'll see.

Congratulations to Nancy!
Love this tearoom, but you knew I would. I especially love the quote or saying on the wall banner.
Best part of travel, discovery, unexpected, new, different, serendipity . . . Happy you enjoyed yours . . .
What a fabulous find on your travels. I knew you would have a great time. So excited to have a new gem myself. I've paged through heavenly pages of sugary treats all night. Your book is my treasure to have found today. Now, I need to make my way to Canada with pen in hand to your signature. Would that not be too fun. Congrats, The Garden Bell- Kate

What an adorable little store. It's totally you!!!! The silver trays with chalkboard paint is brilliant! Congrats to Nancy for the giveaway. What a lucky gal to win such a great book!
I love that about traveling too! Of course, my traveling is usually to visit my mom and dad, but my mother always has a new place or two that she's discovered that is charming, and my sisters and I die over it! Darling idea to use those silver trays with chalk. I'm sure you'll find the perfect spot for them in your home too. Glad you're home safe and sound. xoxo
