after a visit to the MoMu in Antwerp (for the Delvaux exhibition, which turned out to be good but not as great as i expected it to be), we also went to Tilburg for a visit to the Textile Museum.
some pictures of the visit:

first some coffee at the café...

the exhibition started with some authentic "wool-blanket-making-machines"...


... but what was really amazing was the textile lab: imagine all kinds of fabric-making machines in a big room and people working in it, creating gorgeous textiles, tapestries,... and ofcourse loads and loads of yarns!





unfortunatly, it wasn't allowed to take pictures of the mina perhonen exhibition which was breathtaking and inspiring - i loved it so much!

yesterday my boyfriend and me went to cocoon '09. we already went there two years ago and to be honest, it was a bit of a dissapointment back then. but we had free tickets and we're always up for a little trip to bruxelles, so we went anyway.

most things aren't really worth mentioning, but some things are:






the levis' decorated walls... funny little details!


gorgeous marimekko wallpaper designs by hooked on walls!


if i had too much money, i would buy those (probably expensive) blankets, just to get the box... so cute!


in the afternoon, we strolled around the city a bit and we came across this second hand bookstore, with a nice shop sign:



by the way, we could really use some shopping tips for brussels. we always end up in the same cliché places... and there probably is a hell of a lot more to see than that... we already have got our (mostly english) bookstore-route, but what about second hand, clothing and shoe-stores? anyone?
