    Hello Everyone

    My name is Saleh I live in Belgium

    I love old stuff so whenever I see an antique shop I was happy spending time watching the items and thinking how nice it is to still have them around. Each items has story of making and how it reach to the shop.

    In Belgium there are second hand shops and I saw many old items some of them my mother used to use in old days and some are older.

    I have watched couple of TV shows about antiques and I become more obsessed about the subject so I want to start buying some items to sell them in return.

    So the reason is for entertainment that I find in this hobby and the profit if I was lucky to make.

    Last week I found three old paintings (as my guess) one of them signed by E. Bridge dated 1931.

    In later posts I hope I can learn something from you people and share my adventure with you.

    Thanks to all

    Welcome Saleh, from just north of you, the Netherlands.
    You're right, every antique or vintage item has a story. Love to see what you've found.

    Apologies, Saleh!!!
    I just realized Spell-check had pulled a fast one on my previous post and mangled the spelling your name. :)
