ilove Queens day

If you ever have the chance to be in Holland on the 30th of april, please come and visit. It's the day our Queen celebrates her birthday and everyone has the day off.


This is her with a slightly trendier hairdo than usual.




Orange is the color of the dutch royals so everybody ( and i mean everybody) dresses in orange.


Even the tulips join in...orange

People sell their old junk on the street, but  if you like vintage (as i do) this is the day for you.

The canals in Amsterdam get a little bit crowded with little boats.
Happy Queens day :D

  12. Just stumbled my way over via French Essence and you've got a lovely spot here. So, what is mystical about the color orange for this special day? :-)
