Treasure Hunting in Belgium

You have heard the saying,

"One man's junk

is

another man's 

treasure."

Well...

Here are a few

treasures

I found this week :)

I found this with a friend at a TROC, (a type of thrift/consignment shop) in Belgium.  Can you guess what it is?

A salt cellar!

A win from the Auction!  A Pair of little Antique Staffordshire Pups.

Purchased from a German Gal emptying the China Cabinet of her 93 year old Grandmother in Berlin!  Can you imagine what these beautiful little wine glasses witnessed!

Just One Little Ebay.Be Purchase...

I went with a Friend

the other day

to pick up a purchase

she made on

ebay.be

and 

this is the rest 

of the

story
!

The bubble wrapped
round mirror in the center
of the table is the purchase
we went to pick up...6 flights of a
Belgian winding staircase
However
that is not
all we left with!

 These are the "suppliers"

A lamp I wanted,
but she wouldn't part with...
I will let you know the
end of that story later...
as I will try, try again :)

The lovely dashboard "prize" my friend was given

as she is 'with child' ...

he rode up front without a carseat

all the way back to our little

corner of the countryside

of

Belgium

Saturday Morning Stroll in Brussels, Bruxelles, Ixelles, with Friends





Parks abound as well as iron work.

 








The ironwork is so detailed.  Do you see the little face?
