Ahhh! So much fun! I love when you go “thrifting” and take us along. I didn’t have to get on a plane, go through customs, or anything other than join you, sitting in the comfort of my home. I, too, am drawn to transferware and agree that the older ones are more to my taste. I did enjoy the turquoise/teal green glasses you passed by, but it is one of my favorite colors. There also was a plate that was hanging on the shelves of dishes that was barely in shot (it was floral, I think and felt a bit folk art inspired) that I rather enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your shopping trip with us! Glad you finally found your coupés.
Absolutely love it when you go on your thrift trips! It is so much fun, so delightful, and I just can’t get enough of them. Thank you!j
Thank you for coming along!
You take me on your shopping trips, and I love it!!Thank you and I'd love to hear why you buy certain things and not others.
Yes, I love the old books. Thank you for taking us on the trips.
My pleasure!
Great vlog. I agree that thrift shops are more hit or miss in finding treasures and one of the thrift stores now in my area are selecting the best and most valuable items and putting them on-line at very high prices. Sad. Thanks for taking me along on your fun shopping trips. I loved it.
Loved seeing thrift shopping in France! So many different types of things.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Will surely do many more of these here on the channel!
Thank you again. It was wonderfull to see everything and try to remember when i visit france.
Ohhhhhhhh my favorite thing to do. More, more, more please!! I would have purchased the turquoise goblets, matching brass swirly candlesticks, white tureen with turquoise stripe, lots of the formal china. I'm renewing my passport.
More more more! I am going to Paris soon and will film the "Puces de saint Ouen!"
@@FrenchCountryLife Looking forward to it. The last time I was there was 2014.
The only things I wouldn't thrift are, pillows, mattresses and food.. ha, ha, ha... Thrifting is treasure hunting indeed! Thanks for sharing...🌼
Thank you for filming for us! Your filming speed and scanning speed is perfect.
Interesting observation about white interiors being timeless... : ) Thanks for the video!
It was fun going along with you! I just recently returned from France, and we went to a couple of Emmaus while we were there. It was my first time going and it was so much fun!! Love the crock! That was one thing that I picked up too. I also loved the chandeliers! I picked up two when we went shopping. 🤗 TFS!
Ooooh I can't wait to see what you found! I am sure you'll make a video on it?
Thanks! Yes, I’ll be sharing that video soon.
I love these trips. There is such beautiful glasses.
I agree!!
Thank you for sharing this video , I enjoyed it . Friend from Canada 🇨🇦.
I love these shopping videos! Merci
I do like coming along on these shopping trips you have very similar taste to mine . My home is Welsh stone it's very old and lends it's self to older things l am not found of modern houses or furniture either look forward to your next video regards Lesley in anglesey 🙋👍
Thank you for being here!
I like your videos about brocante shopping, thanks and keep posting brocante shopping.❤❤
Will do!
Hi my beautiful sister in Christ!! Yes I love the brocante shopping trips. I miss France. I was to small when I lived there so I don’t remember to much. But I’ve always wanted to go back. I’m black as the night lol but my mom has French blood . She’s French creole. Anyway I’m talking to much but I do want to go and brocante shopping. Have a blessed week darling
i liked the the rustic large brown jugs they are good for kitchen utensils and the pot you got would be good for utensils too x
Thank you . I really do enjoy these shopping trips the most ! And if you explain the whys that will be icing on top !
Love the crock and those gorgeous books ! ❤️
Lots of great stuff
Merci Marloes - yes it’s a treasure hunt that sometimes you win - I think you did very well! 👌
Hi there, I am a new subscriber and I am really enjoying your channel. It was so fun to see you thrifting in this video. I can't believe how different your thrift stores are than ours are here in the states. Your thrift store is lovely and had such amazing things. I would have been buying everything! 😂 The china and glassware were wonderful. Thanks for filming your trip. I'd love to see more. 😍
Welcome to the channel!
Thank you so much for taking us along.I love the crock and can’t wait to see you style it. I like soup tureens in white I do serve soups in them but sometimes I will arrange flowers in them. I once needed 35 champagne coups for a party for my sons wedding ( a rehearsal dinner) I went looking in all my usual thrift shops and found a large box with 40! For 20 dollars. All simple with no design which is what I wanted. Whilst cleaning them they were all the same except 2…. They had the letter S engraved on them which is the first letter of our last name. So I put them on a silver tray with flowers , for my son and his fiancé. My best find ever !
Oooh that is such a magical story!! How wonderful that you found these for such a special occasion!
Great! Thanks for taking us along
My pleasure!
Love brocanting with you at Emmaus! The books are so beautiful......I always adore all the cotton and linen sheets.....so addicted and usually bring home 5-10 sheets in my suitcases! Also a fan of some monogrammed china/porcelain and the transferware pieces! Found some terracotta knife rests with fleur de lis designs.....just wonderful for one euro!
Wow, such beautiful plates, bowls and glasses. Please, do more trips to thrift stores.
Will do! Leaving for Paris in a few days and hope to visit the “puces de Saint Ouen” which is the largest concentration of antiques dealers in the world! Haven’t been in a long time and didn’t really like it before so excited to see how I experience it now. And will definitely try to film!
My thing is old linen. Just love it.
Marble desk, chandeliers, Wall pieces, you should get sets of 8 for your guests, you walked ny Lead Crystal Goblets that are very valuable.
I totally love thrifting / flea mkts ,so thank you kindly for sharing the adventures. I loved the green handled soup crock and would’ve snagged them if there was a pair . I am all about the special pieces that add a coziness to the meal experience. There were many other things I kept rewinding to check out lol , so fun! We were in Paris last summer and had only a too brief taste of the huge flea market experience and it was almost overwhelming so I’m determined to hit the smaller ones and second hand shops next time and be more prepared! Until then I’ll feast my eyes on your finds ! ❤
Yes the big ones are overwhelming (Puces de Saint Ouen in Paris, Puces du Canal in Lyon), it is almost too much for my brain to process. And although being in a place where everything is curated is HIGHLY exciting, I personally get so much joy from finding something in a cluttered and dusty corner of a thrift store. Prices won't be the same and it also feels like I have made a good find instead of just gone to a good brocante where someone else has done all the hunting :)
The light fixtures were stunning.
I never really looked at them before but I'm training myself to take closer looks and to learn to read my style, understand why I like or dislike something. Thank you for being here!
Oooh those old books Marloes .. I would have grabbed armfuls! Were they expensive ? And that little marble topped wash stand .. yes I’ll have that too please 😊 I so enjoy your brocante shopping trips, thank you 💕
I actually didn't look at the prices but I guess if you buy them at an Emmaüs, they will probably be a few euros each. I will check next time. I may go back, I kind of regretted not having bought a few nices ones that match the color palettes I am using for our rentals!
What a great find! I would love to find a big crock like that to display my gladiolus flowers. Here in the US they are very expensive.
Fun video, I love Emmaus!
me too!
I enjoy shopping with you! Although I don't need either, I can't resist pretty dishes or books! They are the things I buy most when I go to a thrift store!
I know!!
merci pour la promenade, la jarre est une biche et est très jolie de cette couleur crème, j'en ai plusieurs au jardin et cette couleur s'accommode bien avec une déco intérieure bohème, elle n'est pas très chère, même dans les vide greniers c'est parfois plus cher. A bientôt pour de nouvelles promenades
I agree the crockery is a little too patterned for the farmhouse.. I get the feeling you want the ambiance to be simple and rustic ..you have a good eye… I liked that little marble topped though … love the broconte
Yes, my personal style is very simple, not too much going on as I find that too overwhelming :)
Oh my gosh, I saw some tan/cream colored linens with a red stripe down the front and I would have had to grab them all. So French looking. And there were two gorgeous books with blue mottled covers and what looked like leather bindings that said "French Prints" that I would have had to pick up, too. You are so lucky to have such beautiful books to choose from. Are they expensive? I do love to see what you find on these thrifting trips.
I didn't check the prices on the books, but I am guessing they'd be a few euros each.
Thank you. I would have about died if I would have found them for that.
Hi, I’m a new subscriber and I love your thrifting and brocante videos. I’m a big fan of Swedish thrift stores and their ‘Loppis’ Even though Sweden is very expensive for us Brits, I find the thrift stores are really affordable, especially in the countryside. I’ve never been to an Emmaus but now I’m really keen to find one.
Welcome to the channel! I actually have never been to Sweden (well I have but when I was a kid) so I have no idea what Swedish thrift stores look like. You're making me curious though! Thanks for being here!
Lovely, varied pieces of crystal, glass, plates, etc. We were fortunate to inherit delft, carnival and cut crystal from my mom and grandmother. I'm not sure if the younger generations here will appreciate the value and significance of these coveted pieces. Europeans will probably always understand the beauty of olden ware. Very nice trip. Thank you from Wisconsin, usa
Oh how lucky you are!!
Dankjewel voor weer een Emmaus video, Marloes. Ik geniet er iedere keer weer van. Groetjes! PS: via Marktplaats heb ik laatste de grote Larousse Quisine (2-delig en niet te tillen..) gekocht voor een prikkie. Nog helemaal nieuw. Ik zal eens kijken of dat brioche recept er ook in staat.
O super!
Leuke trip weer! Ik had die pot ook weer meegenomen. Vind ze geweldig, kun je niet genoeg van hebben. En inderdaad soms is het even tijdje speuren, maar ineens zijn ze daar de champagne coupes. Mooie set! Ik noem het altijd, ik ga schatzoeken als ik naar de kringloop ga. Hopelijk gauw weer een keer naar Frankrijk. Maar met een newborn komt dat tzt wel weer :) In tussentijd is het zo digitaal schatzoeken ook leuk en wel zo voordelig en ruimtebesparend ;)
Haha! Ja precies, lekker struinen en doen alsof je er zelf bent en dan kijken wat je zou kopen als... Het vinden is net zo fijn als het bezitten vaak vind je niet? Ik kan het inmiddels makkelijker laten staan en al blij zijn met het feit dat ik het gevonden had! Geniet van de bijzondere tijd met een klein nieuw mensje in huis. Zo bijzonder!
@@FrenchCountryLife Dankjewel! We genieten zeker!
I’ve watched quite a few of your brocante videos now, and k can tell what you’re going to pick up before you do it!
🙂
A 6:43 je crois que ce sont des assiettes de Moustiers. Le motif est juste superbe. Moi je m'en sers pour servir les "entrées" : je dépose les assiettes dans de grandes assiettes blanches avec un liseré doré et c'est trop beau ! à 7:31 ce sont peut-être des assiettes de Digoin .... Pour ma part j'aime bien le "Renoleau" d'Angoulême. J'en ai plusieurs assiettes dépareillées et je trouve que cela fait une jolie table. A 6:32 Il y avait de belles coupes de champagne aussi. Emmaüs Dijon à l'air d'avoir de la belle vaisselle.
Pour celles de Moustiers je ne sais pas. Et oui, celles de 7:31 c'est le modèle Agreste de Digoin Sarreguemines. Quelle bonne idée de mettre une assiette plus grande en dessous! Je n'y suis pas souvent allée, mais à chaque fois que je viens ici, ils ont beaucoup d'assiettes avec un liseré doré ou des détails dorés. Des terre de fer par contre je n'y ai jamais trouvé.Et oui les coupes à 6:32 j'aimais bien mais elles étaient trop grandes. Merci pour votre commentaire!
I loved the white, blue-rimmed dishes with rosebuds on them at 1:32. Too modern? Looking forward to your video in which you spell out your thrifting criteria!
Yes, my criteria are very personal but I'd be happy to share more!
Oh die oude boeken… daar zou ik er zeker een aantal van meenemen, om ze in de kast te zetten, gewoon vanwege de decoratieve waarde. Allemaal bruine bij elkaar, of groene… 🤎🤎
Wow... ik zoek al heel lang naar een ronde eettafel en daar stond een hele mooie. Nogmaals dank voor de leuke video, Marloes.
O jammer! Ik had hem voor je kunnen meenemen! Kom met de bus naar Nederland binnenkort! Of woonde jij nu in Frankrijk? Ben even de draad kwijt 😱
@@FrenchCountryLife Wat een lief aanbod! Dankjewel. Ik woon in Eindhoven. Logisch dat je dat niet onthoudt. Er komt vast een keer een mooie ronde eettafel voorbij. "komt goed' zeggen ze hier 🙂
I love thrifting,so more the merrier. It would be nice to hear the price especially if you purchase any. Like to see how you style in your home and cottages. Those books were gorgeous. I like to use as home decor and or risers for decor. God’s blessings.
Thank you! The prices are usually not on the items, you have to go to a desk where an employee will determine the price. So I only know for the items that I actually buy and always try not to forget to mention them. In most of the items that were behind the glass, there were price tags, I try to film those if I can. And about the books: yes I may go back (or to my local Emmaus) and get some. When editing the video I told myself: I should have brought a few home. I use them the same way you do!
You have a lot of willpower. I would of bought so many items.
I have SO many already… and am currently being very selective. I manage to do so because I know that once I have more space again, I will be able to go crazy again 😂
Would looked more at the teapot and rest Braun tableware at 7.22
The glassware in this brocante shop is absolutely amazing. Oh how I wish I was there with you, but how to take it all back to Canada?😔
Yes I know! That generally is the case in most all of the Emmaüs I've ever been to!
A few years back I picked up a beautiful pair of Brogue tan leather mens shoes. Very different to the mass produced style. I looked up the maker and they make shoes for customers They are based in London in one of those posh areas. Anyway they were $12 but that day,all mens shoes were half price,so $6.00 I cleaned them up,took great photos and listed them for $400 and they were snapped up by a buyer in Switzerland $$$$$$$ So you have a computer in your pocket,always look up every detail on that item. Then go to ebay,enter the item's details, select the used option.then select worldwide option, then finally select the sold option. This will then give you a rough idea on what that item is selling for. It's a simple easy way to see if there is a profit to be made or not :)
Such a great find!
Man! I saw Luneville plates and Sarrenguemines Agreste. Also, maybe it’s just me, but the prices are high?
I kind of agree. Prices at Emmaüs have increased so much over the past 5 years. Sometimes I see items that feel they're sold for way too much in my personal opinion, but I guess it is indeed just a personal opinion but it is something I noticed.
I don’t think it’s spam. I like the time you take with books, especially old books.
Merci
Lucky Girl
Agree with you on the quality and charm of older tableware. I have too much of it. Two weeks ago I saw a beautiful antique French porcelain chocolate pot in a U.S. thrift shop. When the man said he only wanted $7 for it, I couldn't resist. I hadn't seen a real antique one for a couple of decades---lots of reproductions out there though.
Can never not buy a treasure find like that! That would almost be a crime :)
@@FrenchCountryLife I felt like a thief giving him a pittance for an antique Limoges chocolate pot, but that is what he asked for.
@@baydreamer01 I know! I once gave a woman of our village at an estate sale much more than she wanted for Tolix stools. She had no idea what they were (and the factory is only 30 minutes away!) and they had been sitting outdoors in the rain for decades. So I explained but because they weren't in very good condition anymore I still offered an interesting price for me but a much more reasonable one for her. I guess when you're not a lover for the things you and I really like, they are less valuable to you. I personally don't like "real" antiques. Most people see brocante as "a bunch of junk", to me most antique pieces are too overwhelming, detailed and too ugly to put in my house and yet it is so much more "valuable" and sold at completely different price points. We all have our preferences and maybe he had that thing for so long and didn't find a buyer for it? Now he's happy somebody took it home with them! Lucky you!
@@FrenchCountryLife What I mean by "real" antique is a piece that is at least 100 years old. Less than that is vintage. I like everything from rustic to fine.
Would have bought all the vintage books…
I know!!! Honestly, when editing the video I was like: I should have bought them! May go back :)
Thanks for sharing. Your glasses in the states are called sherbet glasses. Enjoy
Love it. Wish I was with you
👍👍👍
Thought the green handled dish could have been nice with nuts and a nut cracker
lovely, Im thrifting too, I'm eBay reseller based in south of France where Im working on Vineyards too. I do Emmaus, Cash Express ans flee markets, And Its said to not Have good Thrifiting channels here in France, even if the french people are passionate about This places. Good luck in your channel. Im gonna Follow To see more xD
Thank you and welcome to the channel. I invite you to start a thrifting in France channel! That would be so interesting!
@@FrenchCountryLife for sure it is, but Im not a video person and thats why I didnt start it yet. Maybe on day 😇
Curious what they charge for the antique books
I haven’t looked at the price but I am guessing they’d only be a few euros each.
You passed up the torchons with the red stripes😢
I have a few questions please, before you moved to France, did you purchase your home before you moved there or after ? Can you just buy, move and live in France without any immigration paperwork ? Do you have to prove to the French immigration dept that you can survive on a certain amount of your money monthly ? A 12 month retirement visa has these requirements,so you will not be a burden to the French economy. Thank you absolutely love your videos :)))))
We bought our house as a holiday home in 2018 and spent one week here in the fall and felt we wanted to live here permanently. We are Dutch, so European Union, which means you can move to another country with EU freely if I am right. I kept my Dutch business but I don't know if as a EU citizen you need to do any paperwork for your financial situation (my accountant may have done that, I am sorry I can't say anything about this). I do know it's different when coming from Australia or the US. I have friends from both countries that have a house here or are looking for one. The French government has this information available in English on their website. Just Google for it and you should find the information. Good luck!
@@FrenchCountryLife Thank you for replying back so quickly 😁 I will have to jump through a few hoops I feel so this is why I am going to try the 12 month Retirement visa. Many European countries are falling over each other to get foreigners in to spend their money and keep villages and the economy alive. They want us to show we can afford to live on around $600-800 a month then it's supposed to easier to get the next 12 months because of the influx from foreign capital 😁 I loved your videos when you went to other towns and told us some history of that town,very fascinating. Could you do another one of these please 😃 thank you Paul
@@pwilliams6405 O really? That little? That doesn't sound like enough to live here, maybe for a single person it may though, I can't really assess, I am raising two teens that is probably very different :) I think you can find really nice properties at a decent price in certain areas of France though compared to what the same amount of money would get you in The Netherlands for example! Enjoy finding your perfect place!
@@FrenchCountryLife My budget is $50,000 AUD and all ready I've found some absolute beauties. It's just me moving over here,so just a 2 bed room period home in a village is all I want. In Victoria Australia,for $50,000 in a Country town is nigh impossible ! Houses now cost , minimum $600,000 in the suburbs!!! My house in leafy Beaconsfield is on a 700 sq block, 4 bedroom 3 living areas, 24 yrs old is valued now at $950,000 when we bought it in 2011 it was $400,000! Prices have exploded here and the cost of living is staggering ! So I can now retire in France comfortably 😁
@@pwilliams6405 I know, same in The Netherlands! Do take into account that some of those houses may need some serious work. A village house may be connected to sewers, which is a huge plus! As basically every other house in the country would need to have works done on the septic tank (even if it's perfectly functional, it needs to meet code...and this needs to be done when the house gets a new owner according to the law) and make sure the roof is okay. Those are the two things to be absolutely sure about that it's okay, else you're easily looking at at least another 30,000 to make sure the house is ok. If your budget is 50,000, make sure to account for notary fees (about 7-8 percent of the price which comes on top of the price!) and some budget to do some renovations. Many houses here need at least some modernization or a fresh coat of paint, some patching up or the heating needs attention. Many houses are either only heated with a wood burner or in some cases only with electric heaters. If the latter is the case, heating your home will cost a fortune so just a few things to take into account if you want to be comfortable in your house after the purchase.
I want to buy the pottery jug, if you’re considering selling it 😬
I may, I'll contact you!
Traduzir em português ❤
quel est le nom de la rue de cet Emmaüs à Dijon
En fait ce n'est pas à Dijon même mais à Chenove: 3 Rue Paul Langevin, 21300 Chenôve
Ie euros the same value as US currency?
At this moment, yes just about the same, 1 euro is a little over 1 dollar.
Thank you
How privileged you are, you walked by Bone China from China and Shop Qualdrines that are Very Valuable, Antiquity from Frances Early History back to the 1800.
Therapeutic
If you would go more slowly? Some of the filming was so fast it was rather a blur. So many 'treasures '.
I know! I felt very uncomfortable filming in this one as it was very crowded. I’ll try to keep my cool and film more slowly next time!
Emmaus is an organization founded by Abbé (priest) Pierre to help people in needs. You don't sell your stuff to Emmaus, you donate. The fix what needs to be and sell everything to make money for the Communauté Emmaus. By buying cheap stuff there, you are helping
Exactly! So I prefer donating what I no longer need over selling it on Leboncoin and Facebook marketplace etc.
Thank you for taking us along on your treasure hunt to the thrift stores. I find myself scanning the shelves too. You have a good eye for nice crockery and kitchen items. Thanks again!
Thank you for coming along!
I love your thrifting videos, and definitely looking forward to the next one 🤍 Would be so interested in getting more educated on this and getting insights from you. I also have always been wondering about the usual concerns on lead content. Do you take this into consideration?
Thank you for asking that question. From the research I have done, dishwares that are porcelain and sandstone are safe because the manufacturing process for those require high temperatures and the melting point for lead is too low so it can't be used. I found this French article to be really informative on this; oerine.com/toxicite-produits-ceramique/ French vintage that is "porcelaine" will usually have that marked at the bottom of the item so you can check for that. Stonewares are easily identified. Studio pottery from France is checked but not as rigorously as industrially manufactured ceramics and in a thrift store where you find vintage and older pieces, they may date back to dates where regulations weren't as strict as they are today. So better be safe. My personal rules are: - any items that contain paint (toys, decorative pieces, and especially furniture and doors!!): assume the paint contains lead. You can buy test kits to check if the paint is lead-based. You can also tell this quite easily by the look of how the paint has chipped. Lead paint really cracks in a specific way (called alligator pattern). Never give these toys and items to children and seal / varnish items that contain lead-based paint. It's the paint dust and chips that are dangerous, if nothing comes off anymore and it is just sitting there being beautiful, there is no real risk. When sanding or up cycling these items, protect yourself! Use a mask (the ones with the filters on each side, so not the normal dust masks!) and protective clothing or wash your clothes afterwards. Make sure no paint dust or chips are inhaled. - for dishware: if an item is cracked, chipped or damaged do not use it but use it as decoration Lead also needs time to leach out of the ceramics. Don't store foods in them for a long time, especially acidic foods (vinegar for example). - for glassware: crystal is made using lead. So yes, it will contain lead. So I would never store wine or whiskey for example in a crystal decanter (I don't store them anyways because I don't really drink alcohol) Keep using crystal glassware for special occasions to stay safe. And again: anything acidic is going allow lead to leach faster. I am personally more concerned about the paint on items, furniture and doors etc, especially since many brocante lovers love the chipped paint look... It is good to be aware of the potential risks. But on that same note... I am afraid many people don't realize how many toxic ingredients are in our beauty products (and also in some modern ceramics by the way). We put creams and make-up on our face that are highly dangerous for the same reasons. So all in all, being careful in general and checking for ingredients etc is unfortunately imperative in today's world!
So informative! Appreciate your reply 🤍 Thank you!
