Selling, not buying...

 The last Wednesday

of this rainy may,

I thought ''enough!'',

and packed up all my extra stuff.

Sold it for what people wanted to pay

and at the end, gave it all away.

No clutter in the home is no clutter in the mind?

I'm on the right path, that is what I will find!

These cuties luckily found a new home!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Birds for sale...

 

More pretty birds for sale...

He was on another flea market
in Schriek, a while ago

 



A lovely Easter weekend

Saturday morning we have cold fingers

as our walk in to town lingers

while I stop at almost each door

my fascination grows more and more.

All is grey and stone and brick...

except for these that give a colour kick...

 

Awesome retrolicious doorknobs!

 The market gives us colours, cheese and tea

and a chocolate Easter egg... for free!

 

 

 Then there was this store of antiques

full to the roof with uniques...

That is where I must have stained my dress
kneeling down to take these pictues in the mess.

 

 

  

Sunday the dress was all well and fixed
with a bunch of stain removers that my mom mixed.
Just in time to get to the core of Easter celebration...
enough chocolate eggs to feed a whole nation!

Oh! And isn't it funny...
right before Easter along came this bunny!

Fluffy, the neighbour's bunny,
is staying with us for a week.

 

 

 



Treasure shopping

I would say

thriftshopping takes my breath away.

 

From ''Opnieuw en Co'' in Lier.

 

But that would not be fair

to all the treasures I find elsewhere...

 

From all around, from Lier Belgium,
to Richmond California.

Foreign country shopping gives me an extra thrill

although limiting to my suitcase's capacity takes a strong will.

 

Indian papier mache pot,
card from market in Amsterdam.

Nepali stars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then there are treasures from family and friends

things I am happy to take off their hands.

 

A groovy old school Easter deco-egg
from my awesome moeke.

 

So it will be more honest to state

that ''Treasure shopping'' and I regularly date.

 

Treasure from thrift shopping.
