CREA-TERREUR


Why-oh-why some people do think these dolls peeking inside of homes are cute ?

I have seen such creatures spreaded in different parts of the country.

It seems the home owners followed the same "how to be creative" sort of course and decided these dolls, gnomes, whatever were funny and sweet and cute...

Creative terror.

Today I used these discount stamps at V & D.
I don't like it so much like the HEMA, but it is still a reference in Holland for you "basic basics".
A shop where you can find you black socks, books, hand cream and so on.

Once I read an interview with a Belgian designer at Elle Decor. To the question: Where would you never shop in the Netherlands ? She answered: At the V & D. It is the temple of Dutch mediocrity.

Along the years, I notice an improvement of the quality of articles.
And I like to see Pip Studio, Rituals and Blond being sold there, for example.

And you ? How do you like the V & D ?
