Hoera, hip handwerk!

Yesterday it was open monuments day in Belgium. This means that lots of museums an monuments are open to the public. The city I live in has a fashion museum and runs great exhibitions. The exhibition this time is called 'in her shoes' and the amount of shoes they host can compete with Imelda Marcos' collection I think.


In the main hall of the museum Kristien & Kim organised this cozy fair called 'Hoera, Hip Handwerk' (Hurry, Hip Handmade).
For people who came to visit the museum, it was a nice surprise to see all the colorful creations in the main hall & enjoy the lovely atmosphere. What a beautiful location to have a fair.
Since the hall couldn't host many stands, there were not so many participants.
Want to walk around the fair with me? (I forgot to take a few business cards of some participants so I'll add links to their websites later on)
