Grachtenhuis opening!!!

Today was the most fun day yet. No work, just party :-)
This morning I got to sleep in because Edwin went to Germany to buy fabric at a "Groothandel." A place where you have to be a business owner and you buy stuff in bilk and for cheaper. Since there was no reaon for me to sit in a car for 3 hours well into Germany (only about 2 hours to the border and in 6 hours between Boca and Tallahassee I'm not even out of the state!), I got the day off. I had the intention to be productive and make a skirt but instead I played Pokemon and only made a muslin.

Around 5, however, I was to meet up with Edwin and Nick to go to the opening of "Het Grachtenhuis," a new museum about Amsterdam for which we made those miniature dresses and things for a showroom in the big dollhouse. He was, off course, running late but no matter because it was really fun. The museum is still not close to being finished so there were construction vans parked outside and people still working on it but the inside was already looking great.

The dollhouse (more a miniature house)!!!

Edwin looking at the atelier.

AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

I made that dress!

The green pink and white one too!

These look like people but THEY'RE PROJECTIONS IN
THE ROOMS!!! AND THEY MOVE! So awesome.

The Herengracht (a street in Amsterdam). Every building is on the walls
(it's on all for of them) and you can look into some of them.

The building itself was renovated very nice. We were told that the gold framing and wall decor was done by a specialist with actual little pieces of gold leaf! 

They had beautiful flowers and really classy and grandiose decor.

Downstairs where you could put your coat, was a wall on which everyone who worked on the dollhouse was to sign their name and get an envelope with a nice card and.....

100 Euros!!! Yes, please! 

Considering my internship is unpaid, this came in handy.

The wall we wrote our names on will stay in the museum and will until the end of days, as it said in the card. AND I SIGNED MY NAME!!! Can you find it?

After hanging out at the opening, we went for a bite and drinks and hung out for a while. Successful day at work? I think so.
