Bonjour bonjour!
I am so excited for this video! In the past weeks I've done a couple of trips to pick up beautiful brocante items for our home! Can't wait to hear what you think of my finds!
Love,

  • The dish you didn’t know what it was for is actually for grapes You wash them and let them drip when serving : )

    • I don't think so. For me it's a special plate to present just hot cooked aspergus.

  • Hello fellow brocante lover! The somewhat fact about the knives is a real thing. When we moved south, the realtor and the previous owners son took out their own knives when we shared meals and it was explained to us that it was common for people most particularly Men to have their own pocket/tool/meal knives. I too have had difficulty finding knives to match spoons and forks. 😂 As an Etsy seller, I also consider the time it takes to curate all the pieces, cleaning, presenting ideas and definitely the packing!❤Love the cake set!

  • Простите, я не понимаю вашего языка, о чëм вы говорите, но мне очень интересно наблюдать за вами)) 5:55 сколько прекрасных старинных вещей, глядя на такие вещи, я всегда вспоминаю сказки датского писателя Андерсена, где он рассказывал, как вещи разговаривают между собой и у каждой вещи свой характер, нрав. 😊 Я представляю как эти вещи начинают беседовать, когда остаются одни, после закрытия магазина. Так прекрасно иногда стать наивным ребëнком, как в детстве! ☺ Это замечательно что вы спасли эти вещи и дадите им вторую жизнь, они будут очень рады вам служить! ❤

  • C'est un véritable petit "trésor" que vous avez déniché, notamment les assiettes dont les couleurs sont superbes. Le service de toilette (le broc et la cuvette) ont un joli motif. J'en avais récupéré un chez mes parents que j'avais mis ensuite dans ma salle de bains car j'avais la place nécessaire. J'ai également un moulin à café Peugeot que j'ai transformé en moulin à poivre. Je l'ai depuis presque 30 ans maintenant ! C'est toujours agréable de "chiner" (brocanter) des objets qui nous intéressent, alors profitez en, faites vous plaisir.

  • So enjoyed this video! Just returned from 3 weeks in the Loire Valley and visiting as many Emmaus shops as I could find. As a textiles major, I'm always looking for lovely cotton and linen sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths and the wonderful. huge French linen napkins. If there is a monogram, all the better. Ended up with 4 sheets and a few Euro pillowcases, plus a few of the long bolster pillowcases.....charming! Also keep an eye out for beautiful fabrics, mostly vintage, and also vintage trims and such...... Found some glass knife rests for little gifts for Christmas and a lovely little turned walnut container that was just too sweet to leave behind. I always take many photos of furniture at Emmaus as the prices can be quite reasonable......but like you, often leave without purchasing anything. As for knives, I found a few treasures at an open market in Tours in 2021 and bought the men in my life....husband, son, grandson the traditional pocket knife with the little silver bee.....can never remember the brand name but love all of their knives. I saw a stunning red pearly handle knife....and was told that it was for a lady......so it became mine that day and I never travel without it. It's these little things that make my trips to France so sweet! Cheers!

  • Yes in the country men used to take their Opinel knives to meals . I think the item with small holes was for a gigot presented at table to be carved, so the juices run through. Never seen one so I am guessing. The plates that you showed were often given against tokens from coffee purchases. I have some that were.

    • ​​​@@FrenchCountryLife now I read, that Sterling silver shouldn't go into the dishwasher, because it contains much copper, which they wrote, easily changes colour in the dishwasher. The safest silverware to put into the dishwasher they wrote, was the one with 150 (massive silver) and 90 (pleated silver) parts of silver, which is shown on the mark. This is because it contains nickel. Hope this helps. Thank you for keeping this comment section personal. It is a lot of work.
