I hope this all finds you well & enjoying a Thanksgiving meal- turkey, mashed potatoes, home-made cranberries, pumpkin pie... ahh I'm a little (alot) jealous!!
The last few days have been a little cold & wet, but good. I haven't got caught in the rain, but haven't seen the sun since I have been here. Ahh the beauty of cloudy, cold europe. I have been spending my time going to all sorts of different shops- searching out all the local fashion designers collections.... which has brought me to all different corners of Antwerp. For those of you who know what shopping in a crowded Barney's or Bergdorf's on a sunday afternoon trying to see the latest this is a much more pleasant experience! I am able to see the cloths, no crowds- such a great experience! I of course am looking at all small details on each piece, and then taking notes as I leave the store... and later journaling the details- something to look back to at a later point in time. I have taken some great pictures of the city, and promise there are more to come! Today I met with a woman who works for Bruno Pieters, it
was great to meet her after much emailing the past few months, and tomorrow I will meet with a patternmaking company who does most designers collections here in Belgium. It should be very interesting to see their workroom. Overall, I am enjoying my time here in Antwerp and this weekend I will be going to Amsterdam! How often can a girl say that?!
