Let's review another painting together, another one by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, this time the 'Boerenbruiloft' (farmer's or peasant's wedding) from c. 1567.
Another glimpse of what life was like for common people in the 17th century!
Time to check out some details.

The bride, she looks suspiciously content.
Is she drunk, tired, super content or does she have a secret?
Above her the double paper crown as well as a sort of crown on her head, making her the queen of the event.
It may symbolise her virginity or wealth.
Its in many paintings.

Maybe she's just happy because she lives in the low countries, a place where women got education, divorce, equal inheritance and freedoms & rights that were uncommon elsewhere then!
More about that here;

Oh boys and girls, auntie Jo has found another real estate gem... and it only costs 4 million Euros...
This may be one of the most gorgeous houses I´ve ever seen.
A Dutch 1917 villa:

Still many of the gorgeous original details, showing us that the house was once full of colour.
We'll have to strip a LOT of boring white paint, I reckon this building originally just had a lot of nice dark polished wood.

Found another gem on the Dutch real estate website.
A lovely little church in the 'Amsterdamse School' style, built in 1926 and clearly inhabited by a fellow time traveller, just wait till you see inside.
