ETSY TEAM : Etsy Dutch
Today I want you to meet with Etsy Dutch Team. I know about Netherland and Belgian, but I didn't know about the Dutch. Etsy Dutch's admin Martice explained to me "We consider Dutch as a language boundry. So the Netherlands and Dutch speaking Belgians" . I don't know why but when I think about Netherland I thought quite, happy peoples, green field, water channels, winds :) Oh my gosh! I have to go over there for my vacation! It's sounds like heaven to me ...
When I search some information about Netherland I found this informations. They're very interesting
