I don't go there very often and I NEVER
stay long. It is just too dangerous for my wallet, and prolonging the longing
for their lovely products only adds to the disappointment later.
Manufactum.
But yesterday I went – specific aim in
mind and only 20 minutes' worth in the parking meter. All I had time for, was to
buy the thing I wanted (a pull out washing dryer for our wall), to get the wheel
of Kalle's stroller oiled by the lovely shop assistant who heard the squeaky
noise (ooooh, the service is outstanding too, can I live there?) and to ogle this
amazing coffee grinder. For which I have no space in my kitchen. Nor money. Nor
need, really. But, oh, did I ogle it alright. And some other kitcheny things, too.
I'll allow myself to go again in three
months or so. I would luuuurve to have a look at the stationery.
PS For those Dutch people out there who
miss fluffy Dutch bread? The Brot & Butter section does a wonderful milky
version of Dutch raisin bread (at €4.80 a pop). It's a little low on raisins
but makes up for it in fluffiness. Did I mention how fluffy it was?
