How nice you love Amsterdam and Dutch Blue. Remember though, if you don&#39;t mind me saying, that Rembrand van Rijn worked from Amsterdam but Johannes Vermeer lived in Delft with his family of many children and he worked from Delft, where he died young.<br />I live in the south of Nederland and my aunt was born in Delft where she died last year at the age of 88, just around the corner of Vermeer&#39;s house.<br />I will love to return to your lovely blog.<br />Be well.<br />AriadoneAriadonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13322309161323202215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-48054225791555013202009-05-09T19:52:00.000-04:002009-05-09T19:52:00.000-04:00I love Delft!!

Oh, what a marvelous post! We've flown KLM one time and were give a couple of these little houses! I had them for years and still do, then someone told me the house contained liquor - I didn't know that! I love how yours are displayed - it's a beautiful little cabinet. I love your easy chair corner!<br />We've landed in Amsterdam a few times when fly back and forth to Norway! We were not able to get out of the plane terminal though! I would love to see those windmills and of course the tulips!<br />Thanks for popping in to see my silly birds!<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia :)Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01873141703727416233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-10332144367735716132009-04-16T08:25:00.000-04:002009-04-16T08:25:00.000-04:00Everything looks so lovely.
