I'm now back from my short holiday and been enjoying sorting through my purchases! Although it was really lovely to catch up with my Dutch relatives, it didn't leave us much time to visit all the places we wanted too. However, I did spend one morning going to the local secondhand shops and found these items. The puppet theatre was only €2.50! (looking forward to making some puppets to go with it.)
