A friend of mine, Jeanette, is busy filling in all those empty hours that working-mothers-of-young-children have renovating old-fashioned children’s furniture (with her tongue in her cheek!) and coming up with other creative ideas for children’s rooms. She and her co-‘opknappers’ are together called Kidskitsj and they will be having an Open Huis next weekend, April 17 and 17 at Middenhavenstraat 27 in IJmuiden.
Besides children’s furniture there will also be brightly coloured nostalgic toys, clompers, bracelets, and baby bedding as well as koffie and gebak!
