Monday

 

 

Today I am coming with some older photo’s for my favorite Monday memes. These photo’s were taken in The Zaanse Schans, a little village just above Amsterdam which is well known for its wooden shoes museum and its windmills.

As you all might know people did wear wooden shoes , not as brightly decorated as these . They were mostly plain.

I didn’t know these kids but they looked so cute in those big wooden shoes.

Oh they do look so cute in the shoes. I have a pair of plain Dutch shoes brought back to the U.S. after the war as a souvenir from Holland. They are deep in a trunk somewhere. I should get them out and let them have a new life.

Very pretty village this is with some of the most charming homes.
