The joys of shopping in Belgium

After three wonderful years, I'm getting ready to leave Belgium.  I will miss many things, but one of the things I will miss the most is the secondhand furniture shopping.  There are wonderful markets in Waterloo, at Jeu de Balle, in Tongeren.  There are stores they call trocs that are packed to the brim with vintage and antique furniture I would love to have filling my home.






Last but certainly not least, there is the local version of Goodwill called Les Petits Riens where it is possible to buy all manner of delightful things for bargain basement prices, including this chandelier I picked up for €9.50 and this china cabinet I found for €7.50!
