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.

HOLLAND – Pin Cushion


PLACE REPRESENTED:   Holland

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.
