Treasures from Crisnée

Yesterday we went to a brocante market in Crisnée,

I saw something I liked so I asked: C'est combien? (French for: How much is this?)

The seller in Dutch: Dat! Dat is de tand van een beer! (English: It's a bears tooth)
(we continued our conversation in Dutch, just read my free translation underneath)

Me: That's no bears tooth! It's a bone, just take a look at the structure inside.

The seller: Yes, yes it's a bone... it's a dinosaur bone!!!

Me: That's no dinosaur bone! And I wasn't asking you what it was (smile),

I just want to know your price...

A smiling seller: 1 euro?

 I also found a small torch with a bullseye (aka walleye, dome) lens
and a torpedo style (aka Hamilton's, bomb, egg) soda bottle for a couple of euros.

We already had a simular torch and bottle...

This might be the beginning of a new collection... (big smile)

International Worker's Day

Being Labour Day today, we went to a brocante market in Crisnée.

We're always hoping to find a treasure in the amazing piles of junk.

Sunny Day

Yesterday we had some friends coming over.

We had a really good time together!

Today I just need some rest in our garden ☺︎

Enjoy your Sunday!
