New flea market finds
Today we spended some time with Jan and his wife Niki at a big flea market in the middle of nowhere. And yes I did find some nice items from the world fair....
The little ' manneke pis' is a rare find. It has the date 1958 on it and that makes it one of the world fair. I was looking for one like that for a long time now. So happy to add this one to the collection
Matches
