[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 420405, member: 2844"]Great job, James. Yes, it was big here. Apparently in France, Belgium, as well as the southern Netherlands. Where I am, in the south of the Netherlands, the culture is geared more towards the south, Belgium and France, than to the north, Holland, etc. So our art and crafts look more Belgian and French. It has to do with our long history, and bad experiences with usurping Hollanders.
