Oh, here's what I bought. This is a 19th century, uh, piece. Basically what it was used for, they used to put coals in here and then put like a dish on top to keep your food warm back in the days. It's a really cool take. I don't know what I'm going to use it for, probably some candles or a planter. I don't know yet, but I'm really excited. It's a really fun piece. And then I also bought I've been wanting these for a while now, like for a very long time, and I think I found the right one. The old iron that we had centuries ago. This is again another antique item that I bought. I've been wanting these. I mean, you usually get them in the, you know, the color brass, but I love that this is all one color, and I love the metal work and the carving on it. It's absolutely stunning, so I'm happy with these two pieces. Well, let's keep traveling and, and find more treasures around the world.
