Wandering in Amsterdam with Pia Jane
This weekend I went to the special ‘Wander in Amsterdam tour‘ with stylist Pia Jane Bijkerk to promote her new book ‘Amsterdam: Made by hand.
We started at the van Rossum bookstore , where Pia handed out these really cute little booklets with a handdrawn map. From there we went with a small group , approximately 15 people to ‘De Pijp’ and wandered there to little ceramic ateliers, artshops and small boutiques. I bought this colorfull towel from ‘De draad‘ to brighten up my kitchen!
At the end we had a lovely high tea in the backyard from the bookstore. A white tent decorated with Pia’s handmade garlands sheltered us from the rain while we were enjoying the yummiest tart and cake. It was a great day! Thanks Pia!
So when visiting Amsterdam don’t forget to take this inspiring book ‘Amsterdam: Made by hand’ to get you to the best spots for your special one of a kind treasures!
Ziet er echt super uit, boekje heb ik nog niet, maar ga ik wel regelen. De winkel De Draad, daar word ik blij van:-), daar wil ik zeker een keer heen!! De theedoek, is dat de doek onder het boek? Echt heel leuk!!

I’ve seen her book before and that’s amazing you got to meet up with her! Sounds like so much fun
It was nice to meet you, too
I’m really enjoying your blog posts about Rotterdam; will definitely have a closer look when I go south again. Maybe we can even meet up and have a chat once, if you like…
You lucky duck…dat ziet er allemaal erg gezellig uit. Ik kan me voorstellen dat het ook erg leuk was om Pia in het ‘echt’ te zien…Ze is toch een soort van ‘blogstar’.
