...the shop around the corner is 't Apostelientje and it is run by two sisters who are so nice and so helpful. I don't know how long you are going for Claire but if possible try and get to these two. The Kantcentrum also has a lace museum attached and sometimes there are also classes taking place where they may allow you to walk around and see what the students are doing.
Orchidee, which was mentioned closed a couple of years ago and stock was merged into 't Handwerkenhouise - it is certainly worth going in there. All around the walls they have masses of work completed - mostly by the lady who runs the shop....what a wonderful job !! :o) There is also Charlakens - I'm sorry I know I have spelt that incorrectly but I can't find my piece of paper with it on right now. They sell books, bobbins, pillows and material to mount lace on. Always worth having a look it is just I prefer to buy from 't Apostelientje or Kantcentum but that is probably because they are just around the corner from the English Convent where we go in October for our week with Ann-Marie and Marie-Ann and we like to support them. ....and of course, when you run out of lace items to buy.....there are one or two chocolate shops.... or more like, one chocolate shop to every lace shop!! Have a great time and look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.
