We continued driving the familiar ground, out of France, across Belgium, and into Netherlands, 3-4 hours, finally arriving in Amsterdam Saturday night. After a trip to BW Campers to pick up stored items, we camped at Gaspaarplas, and spent a couple days cleaning and preparing the camper for storage, and packing for our return to the US. We reserved one day for a trip into Amsterdam for some last minute shopping and for visiting some Rijksmuseum departments we'd not seen before.
 |
Namely, the household goods, as I call them; here, some
incredible hand-painted tea sets, for two, for twelve, etc. |
 |
| 45 miniature silver items in a doll house kitchen |
 |
| More table ware |
 |
| How to do big hair in the 18th century |
 |
| Hand-painted Meissen cutlery set |
 |
| More Meissen...reminding us of the Green Vaults |
 |
| Lots of flowery dresses and flowery head-gear |
 |
In the magic lantern collection; some were too lewd even for
me (to post) |
 |
| Evolution of double-reed instruments |
 |
| Traveling harpsichord |
 |
Oh yes, there is a Delft department; here, a
perpetual calendar |
 |
| Breughelesque Delft |
 |
What really knocked us out was the engraved
glassware |
 |
| Thus |
 |
And particularly the stippled engraved
glassware |
 |
| Sort of pointillist in glass, pretty amazing |
