Compulsory bouquet

When walking through Amsterdam's private houses from the golden age; Museum van Loon, Museum Geelvinck and Museum Willet Holthuysen.  I noticed so much flower bouquets scattered allover the place. It's not often you see that in a museum! Some of them were very large and made to accompany the room. Others were just bouquets. Nevertheless I think this is a lovely idea!

These three "private house museums" sure are a worthwhile activity. (open all year round)

I selected these photo's to state a trend. I don't necessarily find all the fashion marvelous. But I certainly have an affection, one way or the other, with everything I post. I will be updating these posts until the end of Paris fashion week. xoxo Mimi
