Sometimes we come across those little trinkets that are just perfect, whether for ourselves or as a gift for friends and family. Today we’re sharing this tip with you: Stadstegeltjes (City Tiles), small but charming.
These tiles are created by Stadsetrots, a webshop where you can find much more than just tiles. They design colorful pieces for cities across the Netherlands, including a variety featuring the Limburgish dialect and famous sayings from places like Maastricht, Venlo, and Roermond. You’ll find tiles with phrases like ‘Enne? Auch enne!’ (a classic local greeting), ‘Ich vin diech sjiek’ (I think you’re great), ‘Laef dien laeve!’ (Live your life!), and even the famous rhyme ‘In Remunj loupe de hunj mit de kunj euver de grunj’ (In Roermond, the dogs walk with their butts on the ground.)
“In Remunj loupe de hunj mit de kunj euver de grunj“
How funny! That last one is a big hit as a “bathroom tile,” especially for dog lovers from Roermond.
You can hang the tiles on your wall or order a wooden holder to display them beautifully on a shelf.
Don’t see your city or favorite Limburgish expression? Stadsetrots also offers personalized products, so feel free to ask about the possibilities!
