Not many new graves have been dug in the last half century
at the hilltop Dieweg Cemetery Park. Today most of the tombstones
and mausoleums are covered with ivy, holly, bergenia and other wild
growing plants. The cemetery is located at 95 Diewag in the Uccle
area of Brussels. Pathways are kept open and a map of notable
spots is available. The Diewag road dates back to pre-Roman Empire
days.
Created in 1866 following a cholera epidemic, the Dieweg
Cemetery was mostly filled from 1900-1930. Nearly 3,500 of
Brussel's 190,000 residents died in the 1866 epidemic and the Senne
River was covered up as a method of preventing a recurrence.
Should you stop by, here are some things to look for:
-
Art Deco and Art Nouveau monuments
-
Jewish necropolis
-
Gravesite of Belgian architect Paul Hankar
(1859-1901), a contemporary of Victor Horta, considered one of
Brussels foremost Art Nouveau stylists.
-
Gravesite of Georges Prosper Remi, aka Herge',
creator of newspaper comic character Tintin.
-
Gravesite of Isabelle Gatti de Gamond (1839-1905),
Belgian educator, politician and feminist.
-
Stones and sepulchers designed and/or sculpted
by Victor Horta, Gustav Van Keerbergen, Uguste Puttemans, Homere
Goossens, and Paul Dubois.
Magnet size: 3" x 3-1/2" (7.62cm x 8.89cm)

Photography by Eddy Van Leuven of Flanders,
Belgium. Van Leuven has been taking photos since
childhood, a hobby shared with his father, who gave him his
first camera.
I am proud to display a
bit of his work. I especially like his nature and
architectural photos. And his people. Basically I
think he's a genius.

See my
Ebay store
for additional
quantities of this magnet and hundreds of other designs.
You pay shipping for only one magnet
per shipment (details
below), so the more you buy
with each purchase, the more you
save.
Email if you are interested in this
magnet in a quantity of 4, 6 or 12,
etc. I am happy to quote a
discounted price for multiples and
will open a new listing for such a
purchase.

Please
be advised that none of my magnets are 3 dimensional objects.
None light up, make noises or tell
 time.
They are flat pictures
printed on flat flexible
30mil
magnetic vinyl with a
protective satin-finish top coating and hand
finished edges. They are roughly twice the
thickness and strength of magnetic material
found at office supply stores, and the
average size magnet holds 1-2 sheets of
paper. |

Custom-made
magnet in every order. |
|
Unless I'm too busy to breathe, a
custom-made magnet ships with every
order. The magnet subject
matter is
based on whatever I can guess
that particular buyer might like, as suggested
by their Ebay trades or other
Google-able info.
It's
great fun to deliver a product that
makes people smile, and to know a
tiny bit about the remarkable
diversity that makes up the
magnet-loving public.
There
have been
collectors of all manner of things,
as well as fashion models,
cartoonists, pet lovers, parents,
gay activists, explorers,
historians, coaches, political
activists, engineers, nuns ranchers,
artists, executives, educators,
rockers, gays, scrap bookers,
Lutherans, runners, kids,
secretaries, witches,
environmentalists, |
musicians,
priests, mountain climbers,
land developers, poets, Dead Heads,
preachers, film makers, jewelry
makers, programmers, lecturers, actors, environmentalists,
lobbyists, volunteers, Catholics entrepreneurs, physicians, bloggers,
performers and
authors.
In the process of making custom
magnets, I'll never suffer
from on-the-job boredom because I'm
constantly learning new tidbits.
For example, just in the last few
hours I read about a company that
cleans aircraft engines, making them
run better and consume less fuel,
and about a pair of folk singers
who've recorded an entire CD of
songs about food. Then
there is a hero who gives lectures
and climbed Mt. Killimanjaro to
raise money for the learning
disabled.
Humans are pretty keen :) |

Q.
What about durability?
A.
 To
clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak,
use abrasives or apply cleaning products
containing bleach or solvents. I've
run them through the dishwasher without
disaster, but they'll last longer if you
keep them out of puddles and away from puppy
teeth. |
|
Q. Do you
offer combined shipping?
A.
Absolutely!
You pay shipping for only one magnet
(the one with the highest priced shipping of
those you've selected) and
shipping is free on any other magnets
(provided they are ordered, paid for and
shipped at the same time -- no problem if
you need a couple days to make your
selections but please make just one payment,
to help keep my Paypal fees down).
Example 1
You purchase 2 magnets and the stated
shipping on one is $1.10 and
$3.00 on the other.
Total shipping cost: $3.00
Example 2
You purchase 2 magnets, each with a stated
shipping cost of $1.10.
Total shipping cost: $1.10
Example 3
You purchase 5 magnets, each with a stated
shipping cost of $1.10.
Total shipping cost: $1.10
Free shipping on
magnet purchases totaling $30 (if purchased,
paid for and shipped at the same time),
excluding Magnet Talk game.

Q.
Packaging?
A. Most
magnet orders are shipped by 1st class mail,
in standard business envelopes (so watch
your mail and don't throw the envelope away
as a bill or junk mail.) For
moisture protection, they are packed inside a
poly bag, and to prevent bending are sandwiched between
sheets of cardboard. |

Q. What
if I don't receive my magnet?
Q. What

|
Q.
Can you personalize or make custom
magnets?
A. Happy to.
Simple text changes to stock
magnets are free. (Please email
your instructions prior to payment so I
don't overlook them.) Magnets made
using your photos,
if they can be emailed, usually cost
only $1 more than stock magnets; a bit
more if I need to scan it.
Sorry, I do
not sell magnets of copyrighted images
unless you are the copyright holder.
|
|
Shipping speed
I
strive to ship within 24 hours of payment
but circumstances sometimes stretch that to
36-48 hours. If you are buying for a
special date, please let me know. |
