Antiques and curiosa

Every saturday, we have an antique/ curiosa market in town.

I love to get on my bicycle early in the morning.

I try to leave the house by myself,

I never succeed,

Roemer always joins me.

So together we hunt for treasures.

And boy, did we succeed this week.

We were cyclin,

when my eye was caught by this box shape thing.

Not too big, but certainly not small.

Perfect size for a child's room.

There were some things stacked on top,

so I couldn't see much,

but I knew we had to stop, to have a better look.

I bought it as quick

as my eye can blink.

It must have been quite some time ago

a talented painter,

made this beautiful box for a very special little child.

This little child must have been so happy.

Imagine the look on her face when she first saw it.

How special can a toy box be?

And now, it's our job to treasure this treasure.

What a joy.
