If you love treasure hunting at antique shops, you’ll appreciate the cool items we found being offered at some of our antique and salvage shops. And don’t worry if they’re gone when you visit. You’re sure to find something equally awesome.
Here's what we found:
1. WW II Belgian souvenir wooden shoes at Thanks for the Thyme.
These clogs feature the United States flag and the Belgian flag crossing at the hilt. The shoe have “Souvenir from Belgium” painted at the top. A very interesting find with a lot of history behind it.
