Three Bears Cottage

Three Bears Cottage 3bcshop.com is our online shop selling, antiques, second-hand and collectables.

We don't like associating our business with Meta, so posts will become less frequent. We ship throughout Europe, including the United Kingdom (with UK VAT paid up front!) and to many other parts of the world, including smaller parcels to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States.

It's a turtle delivering cough sweets, on two legs, and in the winter, when he probably should be hibernating. It's also a Belgian made tin for a Dutch company, making cough sweets for export. It could be a sample for a product that never was, because we've never seen another. 1950s or 60s. It's in our shop.

It's the Langestraat braderie this weekend. It's always a party atmosphere and today is the rommelmarkt \brocante. I forgot to take pictures, but here's a couple at least Shopping, music, food and drink. What's not to like? P.S. The red robot is a biro.

John Mayall died this week. I never met him but I feel very sad to hear that news. I was always hearing his name when I was growing up and my two elder brothers had been listening to him for longer than I can remember. This is one of his early self-made custom guitar creations. It was a failed project, given to my late brother Kenny by John's eldest son Gary. They were good friends for a while, starting at the same primary school. Anyway, Kenny and I both learned to play on it, despite the dodgy electrics and I finally got around to having it restored last year. When you get old you try to go back to the past sometimes don't you? It's one of my favourite things and connects me with so many memories, plus the electrics work. Finally.

... and these are what we bought at the neighborhood sale on the Kazernevest, where I noticed, there's also a sausage stand and a beer tent. Still tired, but Yay!

It's the second Brugse Zandfeest of the year today, loads to see as usual, but I was so tired I went around on autopilot and forgot to take many photos. We didn't buy very much either, but I'm very happy with what we did buy. Oh well, there's two more to go for this year, so we'll see what August brings. There's another brocante in our neighbourhood today, on the Kazernevest, so we're off to that now.

If you only buy one bar in your life, this is the one. Plus ome pictures from today's Zandfeest, the first of the year. There's also an Easter Egg referencing one of our favourite places in Bruges, alas no more.

It's the first of the Langestraat brocantes today in Bruges. An early start, followed by tea and toast back home and now we're off to de Kelk for a boozy afternoon.
