Wandering trough a triftshop relaxes me.
It makes me think about my childhood by seeing things that we used to have in our home back then.
Sometimes I buy something, but just looking can be enough as well.
Today I found these two plates, we used to have the whole crockery set. You could get it by saving points you got by buying food from a special brand. When my mother died en we emptied the house most of it was gone because we children dropped it by accident.
I have found many more triftshop treasures 
I’m curious about yours!
Let’s share our finds!

From now on. I have a friend who loves to thrift shop with me, I can’t wait to tell her this new word!

I’ve been in the presence of Dutch speakers in the Caribbean, most notably Curaçao and Bonaire. Fun language to try to learn! If I can figure out how to upload photos effectively, I will share.

Loved this original piece, a ceramic vase inside a basket.

Beautiful, not easy to make I guess.
With things like that I always wonder how they do it. At first that ceramic vase that I’ll get but then making that basket fit tight around it? 
For me I think Dutch sounds angular and blunt, if you understand what I mean.
If I would have chosen my birth language it would be Spanish ore Italian. That languages sounds really like music for my ears

I found these two old ladies a few months ago.
They are somewhere from 1920 ore 1930 I was told. When we visited my grandparents ages ago they where in the room where I slept.
These two are simulair like them.
I found out there was a whole set of those. All boy and girls dressed in Dutch traditional costume.
They remind me of the flat of my grandparents. Nice and cosy and filled with sigarette smoke

I thought you mean company name 
Yup, I’m an idiot
Hah! No, you’re no idiot! Maybe I am, I only speak one language!
Yes, I googled on it but I do not remeber it right now. I wrote it up somewhere. It isn’t a real painting though (I wish! ). But something people bougt as a souvenir back in the old days I read somewhere. People collected them because of the many different trational costumes it shows. There are at least 14 of them to collect.

Found a silverplated dish to put the stone tealightholders on 
The green old Chinese ginger jar I found in a triftshop earlier. We use it for the burned matches now.
Did you find something nice lately?
It’s almost an addiction for me to wander trough a triftshop and find something cheap I like
