PLACE REPRESENTED: Holland
ITEM: Ornamental Minature
NOTES: A beautiful detailed boat, err clog. The Dutch are famous for their clogs and their seafaring trade (if that’s what you call it) so why not combine the two? The result: the clog boat! Paint some windmills on the clog, err hull, throw in some flags and you have a perfect Dutch tourist trinket.

ITEM: Clog
NOTES: A wooden clog from Holland. I’ve met a few clogs from Holland. This one is personalised with “Josh” on one side and “Holland” on the other. “Josh” doesn’t sound particularly Dutch and he may be quite forgetful as he has lost this clog or, maybe, he has one leg.

ITEM: Pin Cushion
NOTES: A pin cushion from Holland in the shape of, what else, clogs. It is, perhaps, one of the most identifiable of all national dress items. And, of course, the clogs have painted windmills on them. All we need is a dyke.
