Did you miss my first post on my European Brocanting adventures? Click here to catch up.
A few weekends ago, I made the trek back to my beloved Belgium {It is such a fantastically fun country, I just adoooore it!} with a few girlfriends to check out the new wares at the Tongeren flea market. Here's a peek at some of the pretties we came across:
Looooved the beautiful French chairs and settee! If they're still there next time we go, I'm getting them! ;o)
update MONTHS later, this vendor showed up with the chairs and settee and I scarfed them up. They're sitting pretty in our little abode now. :o)
I finally found a miniature dress form {above left}! I saw it inside a sweet little shop and as soon as I did, I near-galloped in to ask how much it was. She was quickly tucked under my arm and headed home with me. I think she looks lovely with one of my prized necklaces draped around her neck! ;o) I also scored another larger dress form that is too adorable for words! {Click here for my ideas on incorporating dress forms in a wedding}
Love, love, love French caned chairs {and most any other French chairs}!
And, lastly, I thought I'd give you a tiny non-antique peek at the town of Tongeren! I have fallen madly in love with the way Belgians artfully prepare their delicious sandwiches ... I can't even describe it but they are glorious - definitely try one if you find yourself in Belgium {that and a waffle - they're crazy good, too!}. So when I saw the fabulous sandwich shop "sign" below, I had to snap a shot. The stuffed bunnies were in a butcher shop a few blocks away ... a little disturbing but definitely interesting. Must say, husband was quite put off. haha.
Omg those blue velvet chairs and settee! You just cant score those type of finds in the US. Hope you had a great time, it looks amazing.
ReplyDeletePD: Absolutely agreed! I'm crossing my fingers that the blue set is still available this Sunday when we go back and I can bring those babies home with me! Happy brocanting!
