I'm ready for Queen's Day!

Full with meaningful symbols of the Netherlands...

Rolling Waves - the North Sea lapping the Dutch Coast
Van Gogh Sunflowers
Wooden shoes (Klompen)
Lion - from the Dutch Coat of Arms
Colors of the Flag Holland

RAF - ok, i'm stretching it a bit here, but of course the UK is an important neighbor and ally Smile

Windmill
Retired Four Frogs - You often hear Dutch people refer to their own country as "kikkerlandje" which literally translated means "frog land" - there are many references/different explanations for this, so I'm not going to be biased and only give one Smile

if you're really interested... Google

Orange - of course! House of Orange-Nassau queen

Flowers and last but definitely not least the TULIP!! Smile

Felt like it was missing something...so added the gorgeous new arctic stripes I got from soxfan.

I'm ready for Queen's Day! Queens12

Thanks! Those two to the left of the RAF are actually artisans from Eagle Bay Designs. American Tiger and Peppermint Swirls.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

So typical dutch !!! I like it a lot. I already told you by Facebook !!! That looks so good and not only for Queensday, but what do you think about the soccergames later this year...? I really like this combination. Orange is not a color that I would buy myself, but this... is absolutely amazing and I would buy it !!! Congratulations and wish you a fantastic and sunny Queen's day. I hope you planned something fun to do ???
