They'll be having a good old knees up in Liechtenstein today celebrating their National Day with food, drink and a fun fair.
The flag was my inspiration for another outfit, nice and easy on what was supposed to be a work day.
As it turns out there was no work for me today, I needed to be at home as part of the school hols.
Up bright and early S and I took ourselves into town. We started by stopping for breakfast and then it was on to the annual task of school uniform shopping. It was completed in double quick time as just one new skirt and two new shirts were needed.
Seeing as I'm in shopping mode today I thought I'd post some photos taken on our break and mostly in Amsterdam of all things retail which caught my eye.

I liked the splash of red.
A sign which made us smile.
This is a toy shop in Haarlem. One entrance for adults and one for children.
C&A has long since disappeared from our high street but is still to be seen in it's home country.
S wanted a break from all the walking when she spotted a Primark and I was very taken with the pretty interior decoration.

We spent hardly any time going into shops as there was so much to see but there was one which I couldn't resist. Called Dille & Kamille (which translates as Dill & Chamomile) they are a homewares and gift shop. Stach are a chain of food shops and they sell the biggest and most scrumptious looking meringues.
Having Stach meringues on display with Dill & Kamille goods made a very attractive sight.
