Thanks for the welcome! I'll be posting some of my finds from the past few months aswell, so you guys can get an impression what can be found over here in Europe. Since I was a toddler my parents and especially my beloved grandmother, have been taking me to fleamarkets. Going trough puberty, I wasn't at all interested in 'that old crap', but in my mid 20's the passion of searching and collecting resurfaced and the last 7 years I've been going every weekend during market season. Here in Belgium during spring and summer most villages have a yearly outside fleamarket in the streets of the town, or on a local soccer field, so it might be a litte different of how things go in North America. Garage sales like you know them,have only begun to emerge the last 10 years or so . And I really don't like going to them, it's a total different atmosphere, very competitive and sometimes when lists of participants are available the day before, some type of people even go knocking on doors, waking people up at 4 or 5 in the morning, asking for gold and silver jewelry and watches, even though the sale starts at 9. By the time I get there a lot of sellers are by then really irritated by the rude behaviour of these folks, thus the atmosphere isn't all too welcoming. That's why I stick with car boot sales, that's just my cup of tea.
So now you guys know a little more about me!
The pic with the miniature is is all silver the other pic is plated. I paid 20 euro for all, all from the same seller.
