When G Diels was a 8 year old girl, she went to the world fair with her parents. She remembers them baying a big sugar! And yes when cleaning out the house of her parents she found it.... Still in the box and now in my collection....

Flea market finds....

Autumn is here. The first flea markets indoors are started. smaller but no less fun. Today we found a nice brooch and a nice charm . Two small plates unfortunately only one cup.




Always a helping hand

My girlfriend helps older people in their household. And sometimes she finds some nice old stuff.... The older people
Are then so happy they can give something in return. Me? I'm happy with this nice gift!
