My very favorite tour guide is Stephanie. When she goes on her trips and takes us along it is always entertaining, informative and fun!!!

[@mommashawna707]

I just love how close you are with your aunt and your uncle and your cousin, it’s so heartwarming to watch.

[@cathythompson8734]

Stephanie, you are a brilliant storyteller, your commentary is superb.

[@laurabuntin259]

I agree, she knows a lot of history and is able to describe what seem to be insignificant things and make them exciting. I believe it’s why her channel has succeeded while others have not. Keep it up Stephanie you are entertaining, encouraging, positive, and full of, interesting tidbits of knowledge.

[@debodhi1394]

17:05 In fact, things haven’t changed so much: most people can still only dream of visiting far away places. This is perhaps part of why channels such as these are so beloved - they provide a window into other worlds, other types of lives, past and present.❤

[@1235sheridan]

I love shopping with you guys! I love when I get the exciting and fascinating history of the items you show and the places you go.

[@teresagray1477]

Be awesome to shop there!

[@laurabuntin259]

I agree with you, Stephanie, a little piece of history in a brush mark on a carafe, a teacup or an ancient Grecian urn. It brings us back to the simpler times and beauty.

I loved those blue and white plates. Are they transferware? Steven and Chantel, the shrimp and garlic aoli, looked delicious. How lovely to see you all together for an intimate meal.

Most people outside of the big towns are not used to people filming videos in the street, I live in a village very close to the Atlantic and La Rochelle which is filled up with tourists in the summer , and I have never seen anyone filming a video in the way the KZbinrs do .

[@milapavlenko7756]

I have been living in Pézenas since 5 years now. But every time you come we don’t cross our paths, which is a pity. I would love such a surprise. I’ve done the brocante last Sunday too but probably you were there earlier than me. Fingers crossed, next time 🤞💓 And I also wanted to say that you could be the proudest piscenoise (this is how locals are called) cause the town is unfortunately losing it’s charm due to life standards going down and the careless attitude of people towards many aspects. Also the local artisans are struggling making ends meet. I do hope that the situation can change for the better.

Do not think the glasses you purchsed were Waterford were they? We have a (heavy) vase of glass exact;y like that one you were purchasing with the glasses! It is kept on my dining room table! I never realized there were more of them. It was handed down from family to us. It is a marvelous set you found! We do not have the whole set, just the vase. Beautiful. Love this shopping. The tea cups and saucers that are more for 'collection' are nice too. I had some given to us from a lady who had to get rid of hers and she wanted me, to take them badly, and as she is a friend , I willingly did take them! She did not need to plead at all, and it was so nice of her to think of me for receiving them, They are so lovely! She had them up on shelves (variety of styles), but we did not want her taking down the shelves too, so we will figure out another place for them. My husband can make them too really. I think you seem to have the greatest antique shopping places in France. Love it! No end to what you can find there! Amazing! Thank you, Stephanie !!

[@mommashawna707]

Oh my goodness you should’ve bought that remote control car and sold it on your website, I bet you would’ve had 100 men wanting that, something they would’ve loved as a boy. I know it’s not porcelain but that was really special. Thank you for showing it to us it was so cool.
