A very nice day today at the collectors fair, it was grey, misty and later on rainy today, but inside the fair it was cozy, warm and nice. Perfect! I left early this morning, earlier then I planned. I'm glad I did cause the train was already packed with people, all headed out to the fair? Yes and no, most of them, yes. I arrived nicely on time in Utrecht, that's the city where I had to be. Utrecht is only a little 30 minutes away from Amsterdam.
The fair was nice and interesting, usually I only visit the hal what is filled with cd's, lp's singles, dvd's and merchandising, but I decided to watch the other halls too. Antique, retro, collectors items, you name it, it was there. I bought a few cd's and one mug, yep a mug again, lol. Confession today: I felt happy and satisfied the whole day, and that's a nice feeling
A misty morning when I was on my way to the train station. Nice vieuw though.
Arrived at the biggest collectors fair in Europe, as they say. It was quit busy, I stood in line for a little 30 minutes.
A little rebuild car, it was actually rebuild into a juxebox.
Just look at it, they did such a good job.
Beatles merchandising ofcource!
A Marilyn Monroe doll on top of a stand.
A huge wall made of only lp's, this wall was huge, on the otherside of the wall the same amount of lp's.
Just one of the thousands stands on this fair, crats full of lp's and singles.
I saw this guy listening to his just bought music, he has a little record player with him to listen to it.
The amount of toys on this table was crazy, it couldn't even fit in the picture.
As everytime on this fair, there's a special Star Wars section, and ofcource there are Star Wars figures.
Nice right?
I like the girl in the brown outfit, I know, I'm not a fan, cause I don't even know the 'brown' caracter's name.
The whole Star Wars figures crew.
I loved watching these itmes... some brought also memories back. Memories of my youth, cause I saw alot of itmes my Mom or Dad use to use. Or what we had as a decoration in our house.
Vroom, vroom! Look at the price of this beauty.
Collectors items!
One of my favorite stand was this African stand, this is all self made, by a African couple. I could tell they were proud.
African self made masks, wow!
African statues, aswell self made.
Kinda creepy aswell, voodoo?!
Cuteness 100%! Don't know why I like this, do I become a old fart? lol!
I saw this potrait on a stand, and a guy came towards me and told me that the owner of this stand painted this potrait. I looked and I saw a young girl sitting there, I think she was not even 20 years old, wow! She does other potraits aswell.
Dutch humor on the fair, dog with a cap.
After the fair I decided to walk a bit trough the city of Utrecht, but not long cause it was rainy and grey, yuck!
On my way to the train station I saw this tunnel for bicycles.
I could not resist, here's another Beatles cup!
On my way back to Almelo I grabbed a donner kebab sandwich at the trainstation, just like I already had planned this morning. The sandwich filled my stomach, I wanted two at first but decided to take just one instead. I had a nice day, and it was aswell nice being back in my own place and villa.
