Brocante hunting in France: see my haul!

[@pierre-frederickgalland5810]

Hello ! Very nice video as usual. The plate you don't know is a special plate to present just hot cooked aspergus.

[@michelemarie2499]

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

[@pierre-frederickgalland5810]

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

[@hg971]

@@pierre-frederickgalland5810 Yes you're right! It is for asparagus 🙂

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

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!

[@sylvielaforest8464]

Bonjour c’est un plat pour présenter les asperges 😊

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Ah bon! Merci pour les infos!

[@kathyreed9568]

I enjoyed this video very much. I love the vases with the flowers painted on them. Thanks for sharing....so many lovely things to look at.

[@brocante2]

The item you asked what it was for is for serving asparagus

[@therealmlw]

Oui!

[@AmySmith-hh5yn]

Hope you are well. I always enjoy getting notified that you’ve posted a new video.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Happy to hear that!

Not into shopping as I am a minimalist, but I loved the views of France when you were out driving.

[@ЯэтоЯ-ю4р]

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! ❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Oh that is such a magical thing to imagine!

[@mlomarechal6877]

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.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Merci!

[@carinlyons9507]

I really enjoyed this video, vintage shopping is what I love to do. So many great finds! I also have that Elliot Erwitt print.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@colleenmartin9467]

You found fabulous items. I particularly like the set of books.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks!

[@annemiekvandorp4457]

En op 14:00, bij de lampetkan, lijkt mij een kammenbakje, geen zeepbakje. Hoe dan ook, een prachtige set!

[@lisejacquelinerigault2575]

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.

[@helenstella2666]

Great finds Marloes, I love the copper & those gorgeous books 😊 Brocante shopping is such fun & finding treasures! I love browsing in charity shops but I too have noticed that the prices are really going up lately!

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

So many lovely things to choose from. Copper and books, plates and glassware. I could browse for hours. ❤

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

You did a wonderful job finding these gems. You are very knowledgeable and have such terrific sense of style. Excellent haul❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks!

[@leslikuyweski4576]

I love the books! The things I can't part with are my books. I recently went through them and had a hard time deciding which ones to keep and which ones to part with. I was in France and England two weeks ago. I looked in a number of book shops and bought more than I should have!

[@babou9286]

Le plat avec les petits trous est un plat à asperges ☺️

Thank you for sharing your brocante visit & including the “French/English translations & references! I so enjoy your channel!

I saw another video today and learned that the item is usef for strawberries. Someone else also responded to you that its for grapes. So, anything like that works.😊 ❤️Sharlene in Texas

[@annemiekvandorp4457]

Ha Marloes, het item op 09:20 is volgens mij een treefje, om fruit te wassen en uit te laten lekken.

[@jillphillips3227]

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!

Illustration book were printed in 2 steps so printers printed small colored pages then they were added tiny dot glue on the back and add them on the blank pages, then the pages were assembled to make a book. This was before four color process printing.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@Sissaimee]

I love the copper set you found. So beautiful!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks!

[@amyjones2490]

I’ve learned a lot about French pottery from your Brocante trips. I love the way light plays on copper in kitchens even if it’s just for decoration.

[@kathleenboyd3985]

Im in California and thrift store prices have raised almost as much as Antique shops.

[@k.crosbie261]

Great finds Marloes. I love the copper and the books. I am a big vintage book collector and seller. I just love these old books. Great deal at 10 euro

Use your silver everyday, wash it in the dishwasher but do not place it next to stainless steel.

Lots of great finds! Thanks for sharing! ❣️

Marloes I think the dish with the little holes is for asparagus. I have a similar dish inherited from my grandparents.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks!

[@hg971]

The "thing" with the holes in it is for cooked asparagus 🙂

Love the copper. Can the colors be picked for the plates

[@jetv1471]

Thrift stores , Our equivalent of the Emmaus here in NJ USA, have increased their prices as well … And now we have “for profit” large thrift stores as well . I think our equivalent to a Brocante is an antique shop here . I like it more though when you show us the Emmaus … I think I like the “un curated” stuff lol

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Yes me too! I love uncurated places where it’s a bit of a mess so I can truly hunt for treasures!

[@aidedeco]

TFS😊

Men and ladies, usually carried their own knife. Laguiole, being one brand.

You can clean pleated silverware in a dishwasher as well.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I didn’t know. Thanks for sharing!

[@RoSario-vb8ge]

@@FrenchCountryLife if it doesn't feel right, try first with something that isn't your favourite. I didn't know for a long time, until I was invited and the lady threw all her silverware into the dishwasher. She told me, she always does it.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

@@RoSario-vb8geyes my friends do it too and when you said that you shouldn’t mix it with stainless steel I think I have read that somewhere before.

[@RoSario-vb8ge]

​​​@@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.

Best would be to go to Emmaüs for that! And also look on leboncoin! I find my furniture in those two places!

Hello from Australia.. Enjoy watching your videos. Will your book be available to buy in Australia?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks! Unfortunately Amazon doesn’t offer self published hardcover books on their Australia website. Their advice is to order it from Amazon.co.uk to get the best shipping rates.
