A Mid-Week Proost/Cheers

 

From the Wijnhandel van Ouwerkerk wine business in Arkel, Netherlands, since 1860.

 

Remember Robin who visited us last weekend? We had so much fun!

And that's what my post is about at Vision and Verb today:  on COLLABORATION.

A delicious looking shot. That is a great looking old box.
Ginnie: Thank you, Michael. I have a feeling that box has been there since 1860! smile

Ginnie: Older than dirt, Rian. grin Thanks.
Beautiful color tones and composition! It seems very old! Excellent work!
Ginnie: Thank you, Andrei. I think it's all been there since 1860! smile
I admire the way that you go out and hunt down scenes like this to capture Ginnie.... and you do them so well...petersmile
Ginnie: You're a sweetheart, Peter. Thank you. We visited this wine business when Robin was with us because it's really also a museum. It's an incredible place.

een fijn stilleven - met een 'ouewelijke toning! Later zal ik jouw V&V bijdrag lezen! Een goede dag toegewenst, ik ben bij Barlachs figuren.
Ginnie: Hartstikke bedankt, Philine. This is a delightful place to visit because it's a business and a museum combined. smile

Where do you find your original subjects, Ginnie?
Ginnie: HA! Just like you, Lisl, while out-n-about. smile Actually, in this case, we took Robin to see this wijn business that is also like a museum. It's HUGE and has room after room, cubby hole after cubby hole. This was in the entryway on an old bike.
A nice little bits and doings picture Ginnie...which you know I love!
Ginnie: Thanks, Bill, and me, too. So fun when you find them. smile

Have I seen this still life many times. I came into this shop a few times a year to get some 'goodies'. Absolute fabulous picture. Great light and tones.
Ginnie: The thing that still amazes me is that you never told me about this place till just a couple months ago. I was in heaven there, short of eyes! I guess some things you're saving till the last??? smile Bedankt, MLMA.
Beautiful climatic photograph. I am greeting
Ginnie: You're a sweetheart, Zielona. Thank you.
I like the De Kuyper label design very much..is that gin? an excellent image again Ginnie!
Ginnie: It's preobably an old Jenever bottle, Juan Carlos. Very Dutch, of course. smile Thanks.
Makes me want to see everything in the shop.
Ginnie: You'd be short of eyes, Mary! It's amazing...and HUGE.
Ha.. isn't it a bit too early for this?
I'm still digesting my breakfast, G. ;o)
Ginnie: HA, indeed. Well, just wait a few hours, then, LC. smile

As always, you have a knack of bringing something special to a still life. You've got good textures in the wooden box especially.
Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Alan. Let's just say I am really drawn to OLD stuff like this! smile

Ah, Jonge Jenever or a jonkie in short. Good for blood pressure and related ailments.

I see these guys have a wine tasting on 27 October ...
Ginnie: I knew you'd enjoy this, Louis. smile Hmmmm. We'll have to check oput that 27 October date! I see it's on a Saturday. smile

A very fine image Ginnie, they all look very old.

Everything looks so irresistably
'vintage'. Love how you processed this...the soft colors and light!
Ginnie: Thanks, Marcie. I'm a real glutton for old stuff like this. smile
your photo celebrates the long history of this shop. Did you have a 'jenever' yet?
Ginnie: Bedankt, Wim. You'd love this place. And YES, I actually am one who enjoys a good Jenever. smile I'd mix it with orange juice at the airport in the Delta lounge when waiting for planes to Atlanta. grin

quite nice. i'd enjoy making displays like this in a store. (sounds silly, i know)
Ginnie: Actually, since Astrid was a window dresser in her day, it doesn't sound silly at all, Sherri. I bet you'd be good at it! smile
I'd like the box, Ginnie.
Ginnie: Me, too, Richard. Older than dirt. smile
Very nice subject and beautiful atmosphere Ginnie.
Ginnie: Merci, Marie. It's fun, isn't it.
