Stephanie describing Philip making a beeline for brocante treasures "And he's off like a ferret up a drain pipe" 😂😂😂 Stéphanie, you really crack me up !
Its fun when you can enjoy the beauty in all you see and spend nothing...
Europe has so many antique shops with beautiful things. My hear starts to beat faster when you enter the store so I can just imagine how you and Philip feel. Can't wipe the smile off of his face lol
When Stephanie heard the church bells and she sang "🎼 Fi-ga-ro...Fi-ga-ro🎵"......I heard "🎼Three Blind Mice....Three Blind Mice🎶".....😂🤣😂😁
Me too 😂
@@sheilaghk6350 yup, me too!! Hilarimouse! 🤣😂
Me too 😂
🐭🐭🐭 me too 🤣
Me too😂
I love the banter between Phillip and Stephanie; they compliment each other so easily ❤
Marie is so sweet, and she has such a lovely laugh! xo
It is good to see you two so happy❣Marie is such a wonderful person. 💕
I love when you shop together - not only to see the beautiful items, but your conversation is always delightful
Good to see Marie again!
This was a treat! Shopping, eating, antiques, architecture, cute Pupette, and friends.
Marie really loves her dog. She always has him wherever she goes. You can just sense Marie truly a sincere and genuine person.
The shopping trip was hilarious. It reminds me of my outings with my husband and hearing him say “step away from the crystal”.
The dog in the painting is a phalene, the Royal breed of Louis XIV of France, the sun king. He loved them so much that he declared that all phalenes born in France were his and it was for him to decide who would be the masters of the new puppies...Louis XV had them and Marie-Antoinette had one that followed the Queen to her last prison on Ile de la cite and sat outside her window until it's demise, never realizing that she had died, much like all the dogs around the world that sit by their masters grave.
Thank you, I learned something today. Knowing this context the painting was worth the 300e!
Thank you for sharing such an interesting part of history!
Thanks a lot for this amazing explanation.
Interesting I wonder if they would have bought the painting having known the history ✨
@@gailbrandwood9134 I would have bought the painting even without knowing the history. The fun looking at this dog is worth the¨price!
I could not stop smiling throughout this episode. You made my day ... again. Merci.
Delightful to awaken and watch friends enjoying a break in Belgium x
"70's cheese and pineapple on sticks" made me giggle!
I had so much fun looking at the Murano chandeliers in the first shop you visited. My husband watches sports while i watch your vlog on my computer with headphones. When you first walked into the shop I actually shouted out "BUY IT!" And, then I saw chandelier after chandelier and thought "If I only had one I could afford I absolutely couldn't make up my mind. Each is more beautiful than the next." Nick's wife is so charming and if I remember correctly you mentioned that she is brilliant and has a high level job. Would you be able to do an interview with her some day if she would be comfortable? Yet another city to explore-Istanbul, now Brussels.
Heehee....when the clock chimed Stephanie said everyone was humming Figaro....I was humming Three Blind Mice 🙃
Me, too!
Me too
Ditto !
Thank you for including us in the trip ❤😊❤😊
🎉thank you for taking us with you❤
Those shop are to die for
It’s really wonderful seeing the world through your videos, thank you so much 😊🐨🦘🇦🇺❤️
Whenever you go to flea markets or antique shows, I pick put things I would buy. It's so fun.
You brought me back to the times when I had spent hours and hours walking through this market. It seems nothing has changed.
Thank you for showing all these beautiful things!
love antiquing ❤
Loved Brussels with you all...the food looked yummy, the brocante was breathtaking...thanks so much...
Fun to watch you exploring, and I would be overwhelmed too. I loved the consistent "we don't need it."
Beautiful antique market! I would be hauling a truck load of things back to the U.S. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
What a lovely trip to Belgium and thankyou for bringing us along. I could taste that chocolat! 😋😋😋
Always lovely to see Marie! The Murano was breathtaking and such a pleasure to see the market through eyes and with your combined knowledge.
" a thimble of wine...".LOL Thank you.
Nic will be looking for an old brown bag, no doubt.
Yeah what is the bag all about?
I believe he is quite shy and likes his anonymity. @@GenaF
@@GenaF he wears one over his head when/as he doesn't want to be seen on camera
The family joke is that Stephanie is the face of Lalande, and Nic is not Even his parents wear the bags. ❤
@@carolinegooder7091Nike is a greek goddess....did you mean Nic....? 😉
Oh yumm, just love battered fish and chips. My son in law goes fishing, Monday night we had fresh caught fish (Pearl Perch and Red Throat Emperor) and squid all battered with some chips. It was super delicious. Oh I’m in Australia…
New subscriber and I just LOVE Stephanie and Phillip. My new very favorite channel. Can’t believe I just found you.
I love Brussels. I was in chandelier heaven and the market was incredible. I admire your will power as I could've purchased so many items. The chocolate & waffles are the best.❤🍫
RE Uranium glass, I was watching a video about it recently and they recommended against using Uranium glass with acidic liquids such as wine.
Ooo nothing like a great flea market!❤
So many beautiful things! Thank you for taking us along. Delighted to see Marie. ❤
Wow, that was quite the outing! I saw so many things and once again, my taste was too expensive for my wallet. That 13 thousand green China cabinet was my most favorite, but I would like it better without the flowers. Great score on the glasses. That fish and chips looked to die for! Oh well, I will just have to settle for my spinach salad. Cheers to you all.❤
Nick we all know you look like 🫅🏻or on an off day like 👨🏼🌾. So your cover is up. Fun video!!
I’m so glad to see you all thriving and enjoying, as you said, your best life
Merci beaucoup pour cette belle visite
What a great thrift stores and out door market, thanks for sharing.
That was fun, thanks!
I love Marie’s laugh ❤and I love this channel ❤❤
I’m really into to using smaller wine glasses these days and love the antique glasses just because of how they look and the fact you end up with a smaller amount of wine. If you’re pacing yourself, you can always refill.
I was thinking just the exact same thing.😊❤
I love going on these trips! Thank you.
Yes Stephanie, it is overwhelming. So many items! The prices are the only thing that can keep someone from buy everytthing there is in the fleemarket. ❤
How fun! Always love seeing Marie! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Lovely to see the beautiful Marie & tag along with you to all the shops in Brussels. Loved the 💗Pink Limoge dish set, but €650 is a bit dear for me😳. Like Philip, I adore dishes. He's blessed to have found Stephanie❣️ They suit each other so well. ⚜️Château LaLande gives him a canvas to showcase his passion for fine things & entertaining too🥂. The first time I went to Australia🇦🇺 on holiday, I was shocked😵 at the high cost of antiques as well as used books📚. It convinced me that vintage was more my speed. 😬My nostalgia for mass produced items of the 20th Century might be a reflection of my lowly birth, but I make no apologies for my sentimentality. I'd happily take the 🤎brown & white🤍 toile dish sets they used to give away at the grocery store w/purchase during my childhood. They'd be pretty on a 🍂Fall table. Let alone ❤cranberry & white🤍 toile that you can find at the local superstore nowadays. They would be special on a Christmas🎄table. 🔨Actually, I'd rather hang up porcelain toile plates & platters to enjoy as art 🖼. 🍽More of a minimalist when it comes to pattern for my actual plates & bowls. 🤫Let the food be the 👁👁focus. Serving pieces & linens can have more ✨️personality✨️. 🤔Hmm. Are we going to see Kat & Dan in London? Michael Petherick? Oliver? Selmar? Pavlina? What's the old saying? Curiosity killed the cat🙀, but satisfaction brought it back😺. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
I went to Bruxelles years ago but didn't know there were such amazing flea markets and antiques stores! WOW! What a fun place to treasure hunt. Plus it's always so lovely to see Marie, Nick and famille 🥰🤗😘
Even if you do not buy, we like to look too!
A great day out ❤
I love the videos of you two shopping! As I don't get to do much of that myself, it's fun to see it through your eyes and see your happiness at all the purchases you find. Please more like this! 💙
I really, really enjoyed ‘shopping’ in the flea market - in my mind I ‘bought’ loads of bargains!!
Philip, I purchased a wonderful little carved cork fantasy scene a few years ago. Everyone one who sees, it loves it. They're just so intricate and delicate. The Murano chandeliers are wonderful. Poor Marie. She was wise to escape early. Wise choice on the cache pot. It wasn't amazing and was too expensive. The poodle painting should have been €15. I didn't realize the Europeans were into uranium glass too. It was popular here in the US. It is a lovely shade of green. The Cristal d'Arc is a great buy. Years ago I purchased loads of it at Target. It was pretty reasonable and practical for crystal of that quality. Wise buy. The pink Limoges porcelain was a good sized set, but it wasn't amazing. Too high for Evesham. I've collected the pattern for 30 years. You were wise to pass. You understate what an absolute monster Leopold was. Great day out in Brussels. ❤ from TX!
You 2 ROCK dear Phil and Stef 🎉❤🎉
Really enjoyed this, thank you
Enjoyed the view
Love the shops!
Loved this vlog thank you ❤
Such lovely trinkets.
Lovely, shopping with you!❤❤
I could not believe that i was at all of those exact places when i went to visit my parents in oct! I saw the chandeliers in the shop and thought that you would love them and here you are a few months later! Amazing
This was fantastic! Love the flea markets!
That was fun!
So wonderful to shop with you both,
Thanks for sharing this! 💯 ❣️
What an interesting place, you really are living MY dream for me lol Thankyou 🤗
I just love both of you and I enjoy your videos so much ❤ I did notice your ring wasn’t mentioned and I’m so looking forward to seeing it 🎉can’t wait 😊💘
What a fun trip. All the good choices for your lunch looked yummy.
i love shopping with you; so many wonderful things to see.❤ i love the cheese mouse.
Oh la la la la la la la la la that was some Chocolate eggs, for easter? That antiques shop looks as if it has magnificent items and I love that mirror with the swallows on the telephone wire. Thise Murano chandeliers are also quite splendid looking. I love the dolphin one
Wow what a market and shops! I seen a few things I would love to have. Its always nice to see marie. 🦋
I love watching when you go to the antique markets
I think that the lovely Jelly Fish Chandelier would look fabulous in the beach house in So. Africa with Mummy and Percy. Not sure if they would think so but ahhhhh! ❤
Nice to see you in my home country !
I liked the dog painting too!! It would look nice in the bedroom you just revealed to us with the view of the chapel!
That was all so wonderful, thank you so much for sharing this joy! 🫶💞🫶
So many beutyful things in that anticchop you show us.
Omw!! The jellyfish chandelier is exquisite❤ the fish and chips !!😋
That was so much fun and it was exciting to see Marie in her town which is so beautiful
I do enjoy Stephanie's vlogs. Entertained and educated all in one. What lovely people you all are!😊
The plate looks great
So nice to see Nick and Marie. Thank you Philip and Stephanie for another lovely video. I loved seeing the Morano chandeliers.
Thank You for Taking us on your Trip, Loved it , Great to see Maria Again 👌👍👏👏👏💕💕💕💕
Philip could never own a bracante, he would never want to let anything go! Its lovely seeing all the beautiful things , I can understand Philip lusting over them!
I disagree. Philip is a designer. He would find places/homes for the treasures. Some one can love it as well as you! He has a great influence on people in regard to setting a gracious table or designing a room. He does and would with his own business. After a time, you can only collect so much! He would be wonderful finding things for others and sharing his love of design. Did you know he has a shop at the chateau?
Oh my, the pink plates, they are pretty and hard to come by around here. It was a sweet treat with the four I have with me. Market in my area are not what they used to be. I could really really use a few more of those. I love coming to a market like this one. What a treat. Thank you.
Wow! What a beautiful day🎉 Amazing brocante stores with stunning pièces. I was delighted! 😳
When my husband comes with me thrifting he “ruins the magic” Stephanie and Phillip are so cute but Steph is like “do we realllyyy need that”😂😂😂
Love it
Such amazing treasures. Watching those two shop reminds me of a child and thier Mom. Actually it reminds me of me with my Mom 😄
Love Nic and especially marie she has the most beautiful smile 😊
I love following you around antique stores and markets. Tonight I'll be continuing the trend by visiting one of our local auction houses here in Joburg, Russell Kaplan Auctioneers - we go with friends to look at all the beautiful things and enjoy a glass of bubbly 🙂
Loved seeing Brussels. Will be traveling there in May. Wish you mentioned the restaurant as I am researching good restaurants. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
I love watching your shopping videos.. not anything that I would personally purchase, but I like seeing your interaction w/history. .. I also like seeing how you use items in amazing ways. 😊
Dang I was just there!!! It would have been so funny to see you there! Have fun!
Good to see your joy visiting the market ! And also being engage is such a positive feeling (I remember mine) 😅. At the market it is difficult to resist to such beautiful things...This market is very expensive I know but it needs a visit. I wish you a good rest in London and a good return to Lalande ❤
Was there in October. Stayed in that road. Was Vintage shopping heaven.
