At the Fair in Spakenburg several craftsmen were selling their products. This man was producing ships in a bottle.
It is always fascinating to see how they manage this.
Little purses.
Making fishing nets. although these seem more for decoration.
This is the real one used by fishermen.
These women demonstrated the starching and ironing of the special "kraplap", the coloured shoulderpiece they are wearing.
Wicker baskets in all kind of shapes.
Another event I wish I could have attend.
