Antique Shopping - Doing It Ourselves Daily - Day Two

[@beccavry]

Michael, I know you were hesitant to do the every day thing, but I have to say that so far, you're putting out great content. Great job so far!

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Agree! Loved seeing the antique shops today!

[@annadeblasis3665]

Love all his vids , enjoyable in every way ! Lovely person really !!

[@annesheridan3502]

Brilliant Michael love your style and you and Billy work well together!! The daily really works💙

[@kimbevan5614]

Decided to go back through all of Michael’s vlogs again, enjoying them as much now as I did 3 years ago, it’s so lovely to see how far this talented lad progress over the years K🇬🇧❤️

[@bettyebell2835]

Enjoyed the trip, Michael. Thanks for allowing me to tag along to the antique shops. 🤎

[@angelhelen84]

One of the nicest things about watching the Pethericks is their familial bond. You all are there for each other and that comes across on screen.

[@stevesmit9911]

Michael, we had those cast iron pots on the farm when I was young a very long time ago. That lip around the bottom is very cleaver because you remove the middle bit in the stove ring and the direct heat from the fire is trapped under the pot for browning meat fast and hard. Then you close ring for simmering on a cushion of air that doesn't burn the base. If it gets too hot, you slide a knife under and you get a slow simmer. That ten Euro buy was much more of a bargain than you realise!

[@katharinatrub1338]

Oh, I love discovering all these lovely tips!. Interesting to read about this particularity of the pan. I have a wood stove with rings and am excited for the knife trick to try this winter!

[@planejane4724]

I don’t normally comment but this vlog made me smile ‘ welcome back Michael’ after following you through your journey I’m glad your back doing what you love

[@petuniasmithurst3606]

My thoughts exactly so nice to see him happy again 💕

[@wendymorrison5803]

Brocante days are the most fun. Not always the ones that progress the renovations, but fun.

[@vickyoakes4584]

I love going to antique shops, you never know what treasure is waiting for you!

[@verasileikis17]

🇨🇦❤️Hi Michael! Thank you for taking us along with you. That was so kind of Billy to give you that gold chain. I agree that Andrew is doing a great job filming. Your enthusiasm is wonderful to watch and I’m delighted that I get to see you again tomorrow. Have a good snooze! 😴💤 I just watched another YT content provider from Vancouver that I subscribe to, (Downielive), and he commented on his editors latest video that he hired this fellow, Matt Mort, to do his editing and help him with his work/life balance to avoid burnout, and it saves him 18-20 hours a week. Michael Downie posts one approximately 1/2 hour video each week, so it sounds as if editing a video every day will leave you with little or no spare time. I’m hoping that you don’t become exhausted, so my vote is that you take care of your health first and if we have to wait a bit for the videos, I’m fine with that.

[@flowwithspirit]

Billy is such a nice brother! Bless him. You are so fortunate to have a family like yours, Michael.

[@alid4789]

Love the antique-ing video! One man’s trash truly is another’s treasure!

[@laramarszewski-reeves8505]

I’m so jealous antique shopping in France. What a dream that would be for me. 🥰. What great finds. Loved all the art/paintings. 💕

[@annarostocka5468]

Me too. ❤️

[@cbwmama8461]

Such a nice couple at the 2nd store.

[@joy959]

What a generous brother you have. You both have a good eye for bargains. I love the corbels and I really enjoyed this vlog.

[@thelmanijman1116]

Yeah you're right Joy👍brotherly love. It reminds me of my 3 boys. They are the same😘

[@inthehouse1960]

This was so much fun. Thanks Michael. Billy is a very generous brother!

[@nigelbullock9039]

Michael. You have impeccable taste so if anyone can find gems it's you. So glad you have your verve back. Top of your game

[@nblack6591]

Michael, I enjoy his video skills. Makes things EZ to watch. Very Nice. TY

[@errollucyk5404]

[@metropcs7560]

Love you Billy for the love you have for your Brother!!!

[@tijlvanwymeersch8931]

This series brings me so much joy...

[@BlueDog263]

I would luv, luv to go antiquing with Michael and Billy in France. 💜

[@christinagill6332]

Thanks Michael , how to make a lady feel old 😂😂😂 "Oh 1977 that's a while back" ..... 😬😂 I was 8 years old and remember all the street parties and the Queen visiting our city 🇬🇧 💖

[@louettahuddleson7194]

I’m really loving your daily vlogs. Great content too. Cool brother you have there to gift you with his special 18k gold chain. It looks very nice on you. It’s nice to see you smiling.

[@pamkullman8839]

I love how you and Billy get along and go antiquing together! Great finds with the oil lamps!

[@TheSimpleGypsy]

So much fun!! I love Antique hunting!! Thanks for bringing us along, Michael!😊🌷💕

[@katj-d6885]

What luck to find 3 similar lamps Michael! The one that you lit was so pretty. The corbels look good upstairs too.

[@FemaleVillageElder]

Great to see the brothers Petrick out antique shopping again. Michael, I hope you can find the glass shades for your other lamps. Very cute.

[@patriciadulguime1576]

Good morning micheal , Andrew and Billy let’s go just love antique shopping💖 the two little oil lamps you found are good the pot is great . There you go Billy is so sweet for giving you the gold chain see both tomorrow 💛💚

[@Jasmin-nm8pl]

Thank you for another video 🙏🏼 when I watch these videos I always wonder if Andrew is having fun or not because he doesn’t know much English. I don’t mind if you want to speak some Spanish with him to make him feel more involved and to feel welcomed. He has such happy eyes when ever you capture him. So nice to see genuine happiness ♥️

[@jenniferknowles2023]

Michael, I live in the mountains of Washington state up by the Canadian border. We are very remote and have always had oil lamps ready to use for power outages. We lose power in the winter due to snow storm and we get wind storms in the spring. Years ago we had a horribly destructive wind storm and we were without power for a week. Thankfully we had oil lamps and a generator. We ran the generator for a few hours a day to be able to have hot water for dishes and bathing and to keep the fridge and freezer cold so our food didn't go bad. I use an antique oil lamp on my fireplace mantle as decoration, but it does still work!

[@marianazurak7254]

Watching you and your video content (and Stephanie’s) does wonders for my anxiety. I can’t explain it but it makes me smile and laugh sometimes and always soothes the soul. Thank you 😊❤️ loved loved loved yesterday’s video too 🥰

[@ournewnormalnow8432]

This was so much fun! Thank you Micheal, Andrew and Billy for taking us antiquing✨ Much Love, from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦... Keli 💖

[@FruHansen1957]

Michael , you are a natural in front of the camera, and your voice is so soothing, that said, the content of the videos , GREAT , and the outcome, the filming , the editing = SUPERB 👌. and it is so nice to see Billy , he's great in front of the camera too, just like you Michael 😊 keep it up 👍 Stay safe 🙏

[@helenstella2666]

Oh how I wish I could go Brocante shopping with you, I love a good ol’ rummage ….”just like that” 😁 Loving these daily vlogs Michael, you are like your new chain …. pure gold 💛 Thank you 🥰

[@bodyminddoc]

I love antique shopping vicariously through your vlogs, Michael! Honestly, I have enjoyed every one of your videos...especially your choice of music! Brilliant stuff, mate!

[@chrismaraccini8108]

You are my favorite to go antique shopping. You talk about & show everything, even the sellers seem to like you.

[@mouse589c5]

Oh my Goodness! YES!!!! You NEED the lamp post for the woods!!!!

[@joannebear7351]

Loving your daily vlogs Michael; hope your enjoying them too ; please don’t stress yourself out ❤️

[@Billkwando]

Yes! I second the "don't stress yourself out", but he seems relaxed and happy! :)

[@AniaBumba]

Well done, Michael! An other excellent video. Andrew is very helpful with his filming and Billy is such a good brother.

[@5nowyOwl]

I love watching the interaction with you and your brother it is so heart warming and what a sweet gesture with the gold chain. Love it.🤗

[@normamurray4450]

Michael you can make the simplest things so interesting....you are one smart, knowledgeable young man! Can't wait for tomorrow's video!!!!

[@tamarahornyak5744]

Michael, just want to thank you I normally don't smile but watching you everyday I smile the whole time ,please keep the KZbin videos coming my son lol thinks I've lost it he says mom what's making you smile so I can shake there hand and thank them,I said sweetheart he lives in France now he is watching you to .So keep them coming love your American fan's...

[@meganhall1306]

Well done Michael,Billy and Andrew! Enjoyed that. Xxx

[@sheiladoolittle4040]

That was wonderful. Thanks for taking us along. The corbels look lovely there. Cheers

[@P.Galore]

I have watched Michael's videos since day one - through the ups, the downs, the disappearances....I'm glad he's back. I suspect doing these daily videos is his desire for redemption in the eyes of his subscribers and patreons. These, in a sense, are his penance and his recognition that things were slipping away. Good for him. Everyone loves a prodigal son.

[@ShestaK-d8t]

Do you know why Michael left the chateau?

[@daniellereid01]

What a gorgeous spiral staircase, but I do agree with you that it wouldn't quite look right in your cottage. It's so much fun to go antiquing. Thank you for taking us along, Michael 💕

[@kdean9537]

Hi Michael, great finds! I love those type of shops! Aww so nice of Billy to give you the gold chain...what a great brother! Andrew did a great job filming. Thank you for sharing, take really good care of yourself, stay safe! Much love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)

[@marthavogt5763]

The antiques are so nice. Love the portrait of the lady!!

[@auntytutu]

What a lovely day with the brothers. Nice to see you chaps together.

[@endeavouringit]

That lamp post, yes, straight away I thought how good that would look outside of your cottage, get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep wooden staircase so you can store stuff under it, definitely, I think. I'd buy a table with leafs or has an extension. I love everything you bought. Put lollies/chocolates or tea in the box.

[@debshaw680]

It’s really beautiful but really expensive so probably will be there for a long time.

[@thelmanijman1116]

OHHH I'm loving it. Yeeeyyy!! we are so lucky so far so good Michael. You really doing the video everyday. Love this brocante hunting. You and Billy are so good in looking for quality antiques. And Billy giving you the18k necklace is awesome!!! So nice!!! Thanks again 🥰

[@sallycarpenter1584]

Thank you Michael, loved that, i so want to go to a brocant and rummage now, well done on your purchases, and well done Andrew for the camera work, looking forward to tomorrows episode. xx

[@victoriatoleman1509]

Well done Michael, really enjoying these Volgs xx

[@debraneilands1118]

Hi Michael your brass box is a tea caddy for loose tea..you bought some lovely items loving the cottage. Most of all it's lovely to see you happy 😘

[@juliemix3373]

Michael, Billy, and Andrew. Thanks for shopping tour. You got some very nice things. The little oil lamps are so cool. Love the one with the glass chimney. Also the corbels look great where you're thinking of hanging them. Cheers

[@denisemastromina7821]

Love going round a brocante thank you Michael for taking us along, loved the casserole.

[@thirdonetoo1212]

As expected, Michael is doing a fabulous job of these daily vlogs. Thank-you so much: I’m really enjoying them, and it’s so good to have you regularly ‘coming by for a visit.’

[@laurastewart6131]

Litterally just opened KZbin to check for this Vlog! Perfect timing!

[@robertarogers998]

Billy and Michael I love seeing you two togeteher doing things. Such a wonderful family. Thank you for the vlog.

[@David-e4l4w]

I am rewatching Michael’s videos and enjoying them as much as first time! 🙋‍♂️🇦🇺

[@taitweigel64]

A wood stairway is safer, Michael and as you noted, storage underneath would be welcome. Maybe for boots and jackets.

[@theresac.3216]

I would love it if you filmed a proper dig into the Chateau's old tip there on the property. It might be best when the ground cover dies back! I think you'll find some lovely bottles and some personal effects of past residents!

[@theresac.3216]

Also, well done on the video! I really enjoy your channel and appreciate all you do!

[@urskaska]

i think they did this a year ago. went around with metal detector, found some coins etc.

[@theresac.3216]

@@urskaska I'll have to find that video! Thanks.

[@BernardDauphinais]

I love antiquing, and I love it when you take us antiquing! Thanks for that. The lamps are really cute. How nice of Billy to give you the chain.

We're really winning with these daily vlogs right now. Thank you so much for this content Michael! You work so hard and it shows x

[@michaelrutledge3750]

Summer is in Kansas City. The heat index is a humid 112 degrees (F) today. We’d call the cooking pot a Dutch oven. They could be put in the hot coals to bake things or make stews over fire. The original ones you could put coals on top of the lid for more even cooking.

[@fitzmatheson]

Thank you for taking us along on your shopping searches. You just never know what treasures you might come across. I look forward to your next adventures. Wonderful.

Weather's no better in UK Michael ! Good to see you back again...

[@TheAccidentalViking]

Hexagons are the bestagons! Love the oil lamps. I bet you find them everywhere now that you've brought three. What an excellent deal on that cast iron pot.

[@marialenakhawly2162]

Great finds! If I visit France I may need several extra suitcases to take home some antique treasures. Enjoying your daily vlogs. You are so wonderful to watch. Much better than anything on USA television!

[@kole_rayn_forest]

Why is it so cathartic watching you shop for antiques? LOL I love your vlog so much and have really been enjoying watching you and all the cottage updates. Keep up the great work

[@Anggea]

I will always be down to watch you go antiquing - even if you don’t find anything you like/need, it’s a vicarious way for me to travel and go antiquing on another continent!!

[@shelbycooper7504]

It’s been years since I was able to go antique shopping you make it like we are with you

[@kimadamson67]

Hi Michael! In the USA we call those cast iron pots “Dutch ovens” and we use them to cook when camping. You put coals below and on top of them to cook your meal (the number of coals vary depending on what you’re cooking). They are really great for baking your own artisanal bread (line with parchment paper). Talk to Michael Potts!

[@milmom4281]

You got an excellent price on the casserole/Dutch oven- the cost at least 5x that much here!

[@pamelamcfadden337]

I have a lovely cast iron ' Dutch Oven" that is enameled and use it almost Daily

[@barbibutton9619]

TY for that. My recently married daughter wanted a Dutch oven but we really didn't know what it was for. She likes to have all the latest greatest but doesn't really cook. I'm a bit confused by her need for one especially knowing what u do with it. Lol. I'm NOT buying her one. 😊

[@paigepooler9036]

@@barbibutton9619 they’re actually really useful- for roasts, breads, stews. Not just for camping and it’s the sort of thing you use for a lifetime!

[@marymcandrew7667]

I had a nice big cast iron dutch oven that we took camping. When I moved to the UK from the states, I left it behind! Wish I didn't!! I love baking bread now and would love to have it!

[@shelleypoole6415]

What great finds. I have an antique little kitchen table that folds on both sides and has a leaf built in, under the table. Something like that would suit your kitchen. Fantastic camera work Andrew!

I loved this episode! Antique shopping is amazing.

[@pamelamason6372]

You may know this already, but if not ....... When you light the oil lamp keep the flame very low for a few seconds when you add the glass chimney warms up gradually to lessen the chance of it cracking from sudden heat

I love how you brought everything to Billy to check out. He knows a lot about vintage stuff too. I’ve recently started going to antique shops. They’re pretty fun.

You could use the corbels to hang your curtains. Drill a hole and use a wooden rail, cap the rail with wooden finials and then hang you curtains with wooden or brass rings. Just a thought 🙂

[@rankinstudios5342]

Fantastic vlog!!! I have a drop leaf table that I keep behind my sofa. When I need to use it for dinners, I just flip up the leaves and, walla, a full size table for 6 to 8 people! It is an antique, solid oak, handmade table.
