    Couldn't find a dutch forum like this one, so I decided to join you.
    Tired of waiting for someone to finally invent that time machine, now I am making my house into one. The goal is to have everything in the house being from before 1930 or something, do like some art deco but not too much and those 50s repro things will eventually move to the cellar. I recently inherited some cool things(mostly late nineteenth century, biedermeier) from my belgian uncle, great additions to my time capsule, I will show some of them later on.
    I am a collector without a budget, so thrift stores, flea markets and marktplaats(dutch graigslist)are my hunting grounds normally.

    i plan on learning a lot here. :)

    That is my cat Lily having an existential moment, she's a very funny cat...

    thanks all, I will need your help on some stuff to determine their age, uncle and aunt had some tricky ones too and I might have been fooled a couple times as well while hunting for treasures.

    An opoe(very old grandma in dutch) is even older, but it's a forum for old things, is it not...;)

    I'm guessing you're addressing me and if so...I concur. :)

    Why do you think opoe's cat is 41?

    Because when you look at the member page there's no other info than age so I figured the cat was the new member. :)

    The oldest cat I ever had was 19, passed away two years ago, Now I have Lily and Lotje both 10. The oldest cat that ever lived was 36 I believe. Love Genie Houdini, I love all kitties.
