Closeup of Chandelier
Today, I had a wonderful day meeting my blog friend, Julie. Julie moved to Belgium a few months before me, but we have been emailing back and forth, and finally met in person today. She took me antiquing at Troc.
Vintage Baby Buggy
Troc is a chain of stores around Europe that sells antique furniture, dishes, books, art, and other random things. It’s sort of like a warehouse, where things are piled on shelves and on tables, and you just have to look through them.
Figurines
We went to the store in Wavre, but I found out that there is also one near me in Etterbeek. I will definitely have to check it out.
Boars Head and Mannequins
The cool thing about Troc is that all of their items are listed on their website. You can see what they have before going and watch if the price changes.
Bubble Chairs and Motorcycle
I didn’t buy anything today, but I saw a lot of neat things, more of which you can see on Flickr:

Wow – I’d never even heard of Troc. If you like browsing through antique shops you have to spend a day in the Rue Haute/Rue Blaes/Place Jeux de Balles area.

The chandelier crystals look like an ornate choker. I’d love to see the whole chandelier.
Great photos…I actually visited the Troc location in Etterbeek on Friday and saw a few cool things that I’ll be watching the prices on. Also my husband and I went to Tongeren, Belgium today which has a great Antique Mkt every Sunday morning…you must check it out! We found some good deals and probably bought too much!
