FLEA MARKET SHOPPING! Treasure Hunt In Brussels, Belgium For Valuable Antiques! | Part 1

[@brocantegirl]

Hi Laura! So cool to see you digging the same boxes I dig every single week😅 I hope you had fun! A few weeks ago I found Lisa Larson’s Adam & Eve in here - I’m sure people who saw me jumping up out of excitement thought I was crazy😃Greetings from a fellow vintage picker from Brussels 🇧🇪

[@heididepotter8136]

Hi greetings from a co Belgian hunter in Oudenaarde x

[@leftcoastrevivals]

[@kathytappero7179]

Thank you for always being gracious and thankful to the vendors in the countries you visit.

[@dawndemaine3694]

Lots of exquisite brass...

[@CollaborativeDog]

Your travel videos are amazing. Seeing the world literally through your lens is magical. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’m so happy to take you with me! 😁❤️

[@nancyolson3417]

This is so fun. I lived in Belgium for nearly a decade, had three of my children born there, and loved its history and beauty. Thanks.

[@Signe-p3m]

Great video. Love your pace and the closeups interspersed with the wider view. And what treasure! You are the best advertiser for this country as all art lovers will want to go there now. Absolutely incredible.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@craft-o-matic399]

It looks like the Belgians have loved their mid century modern decor at some point! My friend Michele is a native of Belgium. She's 80 years old now. Bless her! She lives in Edegem.

[@wandamackenzie144]

Absolutely incredible artwork!! Thank you for such a treat ❣

[@MichelineVanBranden]

Finally - Brussels Flea Market! My country … you should see that same market in the weekend and with sunny weather! It is crowded … and there a lot more vendors!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I hope to come back again soon! I loved our time in Belgium so much ❤️

[@genevievemurray7743]

I really appreciate when you pause on particular pieces. It gives me time to pause and get inspiration for my own creations. Thankyou. Ps I’m inspired to visit Belgium.

[@lauraarbuckle3181]

Hi Laura I’m Laura too! I’ve been watching you for a while now. I was impressed with your knowledge of vintage snd collectibles way back when I first discovered you. But what really has inspired me is that in under a year, you seem so much more knowledgeable and I’m so impressed with the unique pieces that you find. I think you’re terrific, enthusiastic and a really exceptional human being. Would you tell me which app you use? I’m so inspired by your increasing knowledge that you’ve won me over. You and your lovely husband are so charming.

[@JackLemmon920]

Laura, I have been watching you for about a year now and I share your love of mid-century furniture and home decor. You are the best re-seller on KZbin and the only one I watch! Your videos are enjoyable and you give lots of information as you go through each store. You have been given a true gift in talking to your audience and making them part of your adventures. You have inspired me to go out and explore the thrift stores in my area and also those online. Thanks for all you do. Hugs to your two kitties!

[@pigoff123]

I grew up going to the German flea markets. I miss them.

[@susieq3765]

It looks like you two had a blast! What an adventure for the two pretty cousins! We thank you for taking us along!

[@gretchenmaris8086]

Your trips are my dream !! I wipe tears and watch !! I love seeing the beautiful cities and the amazing antiques !!

[@pigoff123]

Europe has amazing buildings. They have beautiful churches. We went to a 1000 year old ones in Weisbaden and Poland. The Poland one was a hoot. The men outside in bleachers listening to the ballgame.

[@jackietaylor4196]

Belgium is really beautiful 😍

[@amyweaver7413]

Way to start my day off right. I love Belgium!❤

[@susanagranados2556]

Thank you not only took us on a trip but looking at such beautiful things, and food.

[@paulettedutcher8292]

This was awesome, thanks for taking us along!

[@RoslynSpruit]

Oh Laura, your European trips are making me homesick! We lived near the center of Brussels for two months and then moved just south of the city for a total of two years. I loved living there. ❤

[@pigoff123]

I shipped my mothers wall sconces and most of her furniture from Germany. Cant wait until it gets here.

[@holyhiphopper]

How beautiful! The architecture, the art, the atmosphere! Love the Renaissance sculpture and paintings! Thank you for sharing your travels with us! Blessings 🙏🏻

[@pigoff123]

The transportation system is amazing. I started hopping buses and trains at 12 to go shopping downtiwn and then to Frankfurt. So much fun.

[@sylvanramble1757]

Fantastic artwork. Looks like you made an amazing haul. Thank you for taking us along.

[@anniewho315]

Hi Laura, please make more videos. You are the greatest picker/seller to watch. Honestly, I wish you would make longer videos of the stores you were visiting. Adore, you! PS Love the idea of the large containers, but instead of bringing items (which is a great idea) use the large container & fill it up with small items. That way you can bring more items. ❤️🧡❤️

[@TsvetelinaKoteva-sb8do]

Don't worry. I think she can put all the small items "into" the big ones...😅😅

[@Coinpicker]

The “ring dish” at 3:56 of your vid is actually made up of 100+ year old silver coins from India soldered together. I found a larger plate sized one that came out of Eastern Europe through EBay years ago.

[@pigoff123]

Belgium is beautiful. We took a few school field trips there.

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

my mother was belgiun from leige. I loved seeing things from there.

[@vickinoeske1154]

That gorgeous MCM long buffet that had all of the glass objects on top, wow.❤

Oh, we absolutely loved Bruges! Looking forward to it.

[@janielow8719]

Ive been to Belgium a few times on holiday pre Christmas. Brussels Ghent but Bruges is my favourite, it is absolutely beautiful.

[@MsKatillac]

Great finds! I saw a couple of heads I loved. One was frosted glass and the other was a funky multi-colored one. I was hoping you would have looked at the prices. Like I could rush over to Brussels and buy them! LOL I can understand why your group trips are so popular because you are so fun to go shopping with!

[@vivienmcnaul109]

Boats .. ships .. different loved the boat painting

[@leeleescraps]

You need to share a shipping container with a few people and then you could get so many things big medium small you could have a field day and then just have it all shipped back. 😊

[@leftcoastrevivals]

100% agree!!! 😆 hopefully next year!

[@odalysgonzalez2847]

Antiques are beautiful

[@amyweaver7413]

What a fun video and incredible shop along. I also loved the mussels when I was in Brussels.😊

[@lottiedahlin6474]

Normally the mussels are served with fries or fritjes as they're called here in Flanders. But there are many local variations.

[@kla_613]

My goodness this was so much fun to watch!

[@marybee4734]

Beautiful things I wanted your viedo to go on an on all day u love it when you take us places thanks Laura 🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝

[@k.d.1050]

There was so much amazing stuff. If I could have any Super Power it would be the ability to touch things & see the past. So I could search through all of the amazing moments & just watch like I was there. I'd just visit Antique Stores & touch all the incredible items.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

That would be the coolest super power ever!!!

[@joansheppard6576]

You should pack a hard cased brief case with all your art to carry on the plane to keep safe.

[@Wklsto]

Oh Laura, thank you. I just arrived in Belgium

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Have a wonderful trip!!

[@elenap6284]

Do a day trip to Bruges!

[@wandamackenzie144]

Lucky you!! Enjoy!

[@Wklsto]

@@elenap6284 Been there 4 times before this trip. I have to go every time I come to Belgium.

[@kathypenner3478]

Would love to see your home decorated for Christmas. I love your travel treasures hunts but l love seeing your decor magic also. Please show more decor please, please, please.❤

[@latinaartista36]

Laura, you are the thrift queen and I need your knowledge. My husband and I are going to Europe for a month and I know I will accumulate treasures. Could you please give me some tips on what you do to get your travel treasures home. If you could do a video, even better. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love to know.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I pack them all home in my luggage 😄 bring bubble wrap in an empty luggage!

[@karinunes2200]

The hat looks great on you! Inspector Clouseau❤

[@agomodern]

When I see that much cool stuff like in those antique stores it makes me wonder how any of it could be worth much. It’s overwhelming.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Laura happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you so much!!❤️❤️❤️

[@amyweaver7413]

I was out at a Christmas party yesterday, but what a joy to travel with you while having my morning coffee. Those thrift store prices are amazing! Bravo girl - you definitely need a sea container for your next European trip.👏👏👏.

[@heathermullen8647]

I'm so excited!! I love Belgium!!

[@contempl8ive]

I’m guessing you’ve already considered this but you’ve got the eye for opening an art gallery😉

[@loriwhipple170]

Just got back from Belgium 🇧🇪 Christmas markets 2 days ago. Love it!!

[@aishas8900]

Ha! I totally bought the necklace at 3:50 - cool to know it came from Mexico via Belgium. Thanks for sharing your treasure hunting it is always entertaining!

[@neliasparks8141]

Will you do in the future a Europe Christmas Markets trip?

[@thelnshow9406]

Can you do packing video so we can see how you get things home safely??

[@elenap6284]

Good morning make sure you do a day trip to Bruges!

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Went to Brussels and Bruge back in 1996 for our 3 rd anniversary, which was around Easter time. It was a chocolate lovers paradise, beautiful chocolate Easter eggs displayed in the chocolatier’s window. The best part is they let you taste test some of the chocolate. We went to Godiva and a few Neuhaus shops, wound up buying 4 huge chocolate Easter eggs for my daughter, mother in law and of course, for my husband and myself. We ate at the outdoor cafes at night and had my fair share of mussels mounier, which came with a baguette to sop up the juice! My husband had something called waterzoi. ( the spelling escapes me). I remember we went on a coach tour trip to Bruge, which stopped in Antwerp and Ghent before Bruge. Stopped at a convent in Brugge and bought a lace handkerchief and had lunch at a cafe in Brugge. Had the best beer there, and I’m NOT a beer drinker, prefer my wine! Loved your finds and the shops you visited. I absolutely loved Brussels, pigging out on frites and waffles, so good there! And my favourite, dressing up the Fountain de Pis. Thank you for bringing back lovely memories!

[@eclecticallyme]

Very beautiful love how it's kinda Tibetan

[@kymberleegilkey3313]

I need that Florentine box in my life

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It was so pretty!!
