Congratulations to Sarah Miller. Enjoy the lovely curtains. Merry Christmas to Edd, Anna and their beautiful family and to all their subscribers.

🎄Merry Christmas😊

[@cheriesharp234]

Wow! You bought some lovely things, well done you. X

[@MetteKjorstad-vb5ym]

The chandelier that you found for Billy Prethricks convent kitchen was magnificent!!! 👏👏👏👏🏆😄🇸🇪fun to follow the auction😄🎄🎄the brass fireplace set was The Winner!

[@carladejonge4951]

Absolutely!

[@denisekoltys3019]

Could not have been more perfect especially since it had to be super extra large lol

[@RosasCabin_AIRBNB_USA]

I loved that chandelier !!

[@toddmurphy523]

And I held my breath while they installed it in the kitchen over the island....😳

[@tinacarrol6702]

Edd The Firearms Were a Good Price. Happy New year. Been Poorly all Christmas. Xx 😊😘

[@dashaway1460]

My favorite French Chateau site. I have followed others for a long time. However, I think Bordeaux Life is right at the top of the list. I am amazed at how much you have achieved while managing a wine estate, restoring a bedraggled home and raising two beautiful children with weddings on the side. Hats off to you! What an awesome team you are!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joyeux Noel and Merry Christmas!

[@lindaelliott5411]

Try watching Journey to the Chateau with Patrick and Stuart, its fabulous! Its a renovation and so much more besides, really excellent quality vlogs with loads of content of brocantes, cooking renovation, decorating grounds and garden keeping and lovelyfriends with chateau big and small. X

Loved that stone lion to Louis’s left when you were filming him

[@deborahmarion9038]

Love the auctions you attend, Louis added a bit of entertainment today. 😂 You made some good purchases Edd. Merry Christmas Anna, Edd and kiddos! 🎄🎅🏼🎁

[@richardvinsen2385]

The prices are unbelievably low. I’m so happy that you bought the armoire. It’s a beautiful piece and for just €100 how could you say “No”?

[@donnaschmink1801]

Thank you, for taking us along! It was great fun! Loved the lion where Louie was standing. Have a Merry, Merry Christmas!

[@susanaleonard5953]

I agree with Anna about the floral painting. Like it a lot. 😊

[@paulstjean8035]

the fireplace set was a steal LOL and I think everything you bid on was fantastic.

[@BordeauxLife]

Tell me about it!!! I was looking online and thinking it was going to go relatively big …… 700€ maybe more ….. I was dumbstruck when I got it for 100€ 🤦‍♂️

[@donnasteinberg1398]

I love auctions!! So much fun and to win a piece you really want is so exciting! Thanks Ed for bringing us along💕

[@Rain-Peters]

So fun! I love antiques ! You can feel something like a soul from them that new things just don’t have.

[@rochellenowik9875]

Louis is so darn adorable. He was a good wingman for you. Congrats to Sarah

[@flipnawesome5756]

I really like the auction videos. It’s amazing how cheap some items end up selling for.

[@RosasCabin_AIRBNB_USA]

True !! I would love to buy some of those things the only thing is it would cost a fortune to ship to the USA. 😢

[@FarmgirlFriday]

I notice that there are often landscape style paintings that you pass over. While they may not be anything particularly special, I do always feel that a few landscapes in the mix of artwork in a space are a nice addition. It would be great to see you find one or two you like that work for rooms in the passion project.

[@pamkullman8839]

I’m so jealous of the goodies you found at auction! I would have paid for the porcelain! Good job on the armoire!

[@boessheila50]

Oh I loved THE ARMOUR. TOO. EXCELLENT FOR STORAGE. HOPE GUEST KIDS DONT BASH IT UP@!!

[@suew2146]

I loved that wardrobe! The beauty of that wood! Also loved the commode. So many good finds!

[@RosasCabin_AIRBNB_USA]

In the past I owned an antique store and I often attended auctions. I always had a total blast and I really enjoyed Edd giving a play by play and I was proud of my limited French that allowed me to comprehend the amounts. Thanks for the translations at the bottom of the window. I think Edd has a hit program on his hands! I realized the French also have someone to UP and START bids near the front of the Room. It was just FUN! Congrats! And MERRY Christmas, and God Bless, I would bet there is a church service that would love to see you and your family attend. Peace and Joy from Wade at Rosa, AL, USA 🇺🇸

[@lynnedelacy2841]

The bee set I’m not impressed with the covering either It is so important to position the pattern so it is symmetrical and they haven’t done with some of the pieces - a shame

[@donnastorch4462]

Congratulations to Bordeaux lifer Sarah Miller 🎉🎉

[@rachelledube-hayes1649]

I love the auctioneer's accent ! For the dishes, anytime there is metal on the rim, it has to be hand-washed as a dishwasher tends to remove any metal. You can check if it's metal or metal-coloured paint.

[@lorraineelderhurst4199]

Loved the big box. I have one here in Australia ( authentic French one) and I have stored blankets and doonas in it over time. Now I have it just inside my French doors leading to outdoor patio and store my garden chairs cushions in it during wet and cold months. Keeps them dry and mould free. Havnt read other comments but fire log stands are called fire dogs. Loved watching auction, a break from renovating vlogs

[@maryoconnor2228]

Really enjoyed this one Edd and Anna! Love the brass fire surround and the black clock with matching candelabra!! Well done Edd! Merry Christ to all the family!

[@earthmama8384]

Tip: Quality Persian carpets dyed with vegetable dyes are often cleaned using carbonated water, which causes dirt to bubble to the surface for extraction w/o stripping color.

[@Robin-xr2tz]

Absolutely love that you take us along to the auction. Liked all of your pieces for what you are going to do with them!!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love the live auction. You got some good deals. Thanks for taking us along 😍😘

[@gaelenecole4053]

Absolutely loved the auction ❤❤ thanks for the take along … what gorgeous pieces you have way up there 😊 Some amazing bargains where had by all …

[@Ron_Robertson]

You did pretty well on your purchases. Especially the commode, the wardrobe, and the garniture de cheminée (assuming the clock works!), and super well done on the painting!

[@tropicalmom2468]

I like the bland bee settee. You can jazz it up with all sorts of blankets and throw pillows in pretty much any color scheme. Great deals today! Can't wait to see what you do with them.

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Well, I drooled looking at all the beautiful things!…but my goodness you both know what your doing when bidding!

[@Mudjie50]

Congratulations Sarah! I liked the gas lamps very much! I used to go to auctions all the time. Lots of fun!

[@kimbevan5614]

Congratulations Sarah on getting the curtains. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them. Loved today’s vlog. Loads of love to you both. Xxxx

[@slomo1716]

Louis is a goofball, he thinks he's a movie star. Those oil lamps are too precious and fragile for a RENTAL. The Pakistan rug is MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL! The painting of french farm with pond in front at 25:16 upper right is GORGEOUS. Well done Ed and Anna! I enjoy these auctions, you got some GREAT DEALS!! What happened to the oil lamps?

[@BernardDauphinais]

Nice haul! Can't believe the prices over there, envious here. :)

[@suek7086]

Louis is great today.

[@denisemusicnut]

Louis didn’t get the rug, but he did have a lovely tea party! I’d be interested to see how the Pakistani rug looks after you clean it! I always enjoy your sale adventures, but I missed Anna! Best wishes for a happy Christmas!

[@RosasCabin_AIRBNB_USA]

Yes, Anna was missed. 😢

[@lindamounts2193]

I think most of us in the US just can't believe how cheap those lovely item are!

[@juanitafortin4638]

Congratulations to Sarah Miller. Louis was quite funny 😂, and loved the vlog. Merry Christmas to everyone 🎄

[@JaniceStPeter]

I can't believe how much I enjoyed that auction! Many, many thanks!!

[@santiagobenites]

That was a good episode to watch. The auction was great, the way you edited it was great, and you did well not to overbid on anything. I can hardly wait to see those beautiful items in place in the Passion Project! Cheers!

[@kellwng]

I like the idea for the oil lamps using LAD's but I myself like functional things, so personally I would use them as oil lamps.

[@malagastehlaate230]

Congrats to Sarah... Was a heck of a sale... that Armoire was magnificent and such a price on it... I'm impressed... you got some great deals there.

[@LaPrincessa1947]

Today's video was a fun one what with Louie and you reviewing the items in advance, then watching you and Anna (via cell phone) work it - that was interesting! Sure that Louie will find his perfect rug at the perfect price very soon! And congratulations to Sarah...she has a vintage set of dirt encrusted curtains. It'd be cool to see what she does with them; if she does clean them how do they look afterwards. Sarah could send you a picture! Joyeux Noel to Edd, Anna and the children!

[@janeharris6925]

The fan on the back wall would look great in your sunroom.

[@SweetOne.]

That armour is worth everything you spent in total. The rest of it was all free IMO. Well Done! I think the armour should go in the master suite where Ana's table was. Great place to put suitcases for the guests and a place to lock their valuables if needed.

[@kimredmond3550]

All of your vlogs are entertaining and I love that you put the preview and this auction on the same vlog. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year!

[@paulinemarks6207]

Ed and Anna I so enjoy your channel! I wouldn’t miss an episode!11❤❤❤❤ Louis is so charming to see as well! Keep up the great work😊. What a wonderful experience 😊😊😊

[@maire4283]

Loved joining you at the preview and auction, Edd (and Louis). I always get new insights accompanying you to brocantes, sales and auctions and observing as you, and often Anna, look at items, react to them in real time, do your research, share your perspective on the pieces and your ideas about price, value and plan for bidding. Your comments about being AT the preview in person and how revealing that can be really resonates with me. Very enjoyable vlog - the choice of combining the preview video and the auction video is brilliant.

[@pamelkamah6307]

That was so interesting. Love the rugs. The wardrobe was a steal. Liked all the things you bought. Well done. 👍

[@ginanoble7203]

Congrats to Sarah Millar ,love to know what she is going to do with the curtains.Best wishes for this festive time to Ed,Anna Charles and Emma. Loved the auction .O ! to live in Bordeaux

[@robinwashburn8804]

Fabulous! Thanks for taking us all along!❤

[@DirtyGoatArtsandCrafts]

I love the variety of your channel’s content! The auction (and other shopping excursions) are great fun to watch as here in western Canada we don’t see a lot of that type of furniture or decor items. Mid century modern is considered “old”.😆 Great catch on that armoire! Out of curiosity, did you catch what the carousel horse went for at the auction?

[@merrileeheard3889]

Can you imagine how much it would cost to ship here!!😮

[@waisanchan5850]

Hi Edd, love the style that you bring us to the auction. Interesting, amusing and exciting!😊

[@margaretforshaw1617]

Thank you so much for taking us along to the auction ….loved it …

[@nileswilson577]

Ed the armoire, looks like a doorway instead of an armoire. It's quite lovely. 😁👍

[@paulacorreal1675]

Loved the auction. That armoire is to die for. Still loving your change from PA, USA.

[@sheiladickerson5198]

I loved all the pieces you got. Sorry, Louie did not get his rug. I really loved the dishes.❤

[@valgoodridge1810]

Love your auction videos! I can't believe the price of the little table and the armoire. What a steal of a deal.

[@laurariley308]

I can’t imagine ever finding prices like that in the states… wow what bargains. Congrats Sarah😊

[@susannaCdonovan23]

The Armoire is beautiful. Definitely a lovely piece of furniture. I love all antiques. Exciting things to find. I do love the Chairs and Love Seat. They're lovely.❤

[@harvester24-7]

That china set was beautiful! It would have been great for your passion project, but you'll find the perfect set! Merry Christmas and Joyeux Noël to all here. 🎄🎉

[@lfm6269]

I really enjoyed the auction. We go to one here every 2 weeks in Kansas , USA. So many treasures to be found!

[@janeharris6925]

That armoire could be turned into an amazing liquor cabinet.

[@susanaleonard5953]

I hope Sarah will share with you how she cleaned the curtains. Send a photo to see her results maybe.

[@denizberlin9441]

I was at a Live online auction platform last week and I was so angry because I could have got so many beautiful pieces for really cheap money, but I can’t just drive over to France right now. That was really really sad

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I don’t think you could go wrong on any of the items you selected. The fireplace pieces will be beautiful in the dining room. I love the clocks and the gold one would be perfect on the dining room mantel with the fireplace pieces. Sorry you didn’t get that clock but glad you got the fireplace pieces. The darker clock is also beautiful and would be lovely on a bedroom mantel. Wow love the commode and armoire!!! Congratulations!!

[@susanaleonard5953]

Yeah, you got the armoire.

[@cmp77777]

Christmas greetings Ed & Anna & family. Love your calm & clear manner of communication. Love the banter between you 2, a little humour here & there. Great video of the auction & your puchases. Great progress with work at both properties. Thankyou for presenting these videos so we get to experience life with you in Bordeaux region. God bless you.🎵🎁🎵🥂🎵🙏🎶🍒🎶🎄🎶💖🧡❣️

[@peterwhite9261]

Congratulations, Sarah. Edd, th9se are all beautiful pieces you found. Great prices, too. I love that armoire. I am glad you got it, as that to me was a steal. Louis, thanks for your natural humor. It helps to liven up the vlogs. Merry Christmas to you all.❤

It's great to see you rescuing such beautiful furniture! It's hard to find pretty piece like that here in the American Midwest.

[@ae-hv9kc]

Loved today’s episode! Wish we had auctions with these kind of treasures here in British Columbia! Have a lovely Christmas!

[@merrileeheard3889]

So do I!

[@florentinalily]

Thanks for the vlog Ed, always a joy! Be careful with cleaning any of those handmade rugs; they are usually vegetable dyes that run.. as I leaned to my cost with a kilim from morocco. 😁

[@frankcobb9983]

Edd you certainly enjoyed yourself some very nice pieces of furniture I certainly liked the wardrobe. 😅

[@jdrew5367]

Ed you did very well! I love the auctions when you go. It’s just so exciting.👏🏼👏🏼👍🏾 I enjoyed very much thank you.

[@patriciaknight3403]

That was SO much fun!!!! I really love the brass fire set. It’s going to make the dining room fireplace pop! Definitely enjoyed going to an auction with you.

[@ruthblack3676]

I really enjoyed experiencing this auction with you. Your Rationale, Due Diligence and Teamwork were outstanding. Good Deals! Here in the States we say, I do believe you could squeeze the Buffalo off a Nickel!😊

[@lizstevenson7801]

That was so interesting to watch Ed, auctions depend so much on what the others in the room want or rather don't want. The items you bought you got at a bargain price and so you did well. You and Anna have a flair for this with you both having good taste. Thank you for sharing 💕🇦🇺

[@metropcs7560]

Loved the dance, in good spirits, wonderful!!! You know I love the Brocantes, I would come just for the armiores, lovely, Mr. Edd.

[@carolehanrahan]

Merry Christmas! I really enjoy watching your auction videos. I used to go to estate auctions with my husband but we don't have room for anything else so we stopped going because it was too tempting to not buy beautiful things going for dirt cheap prices in some cases. I loved those two glass topped gas lamps. They were lovely. I thought you did very well on the pieces you ended up getting.

[@juliechapman-xu4if]

I find the auctions to be a fascinating addition to your channel. Prices are so cheap, jealous. Plus, the educational knowledge of the objects orgins is very interesting.

[@denisetopaz1598]

Love your hoodie, Edd🤣

[@alcloud4265]

I always enjoy watching you shop for items. We have nothing similar here to what you find there.

[@bobjones8892]

100 Euros for that armoire, that is a steal. Looking at the doors the inserts are from the same log.

[@lindagage7315]

That was fun, merry Christmas to you and Anna and family!

[@metropcs7560]

I love the period of the brass piece, use machine to rid stains, then guild it. Seal. Great Auction and it kept my attention. The mirror behind you near the end was beautiful. The larger the mirror and more ornate I love. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

[@sheilacasper2030]

I love auctions. Im a constant bidder at my local online auction here in Kentucky USA.

[@susanaleonard5953]

That set of 24:53 china is very acceptable for everyday use in your rental. Just my opinion.

[@1queenie]

I love auctions but an antique action is the best.

[@BarbB56]

I have so enjoyed all your vlogs this year and look forward to seeing what comes next year. Wishing you,Anna and your family a very Merry Christmas. X

[@dcrowsfeet]

I loved watching the whole auction process from evaluating which pieces you want to bid on and then the auction process itself. I have attended auctions in California, USA and never has an auctioneer called anyone names for not paying what he wanted them to. I got a good laugh out of that!

[@BordeauxLife]

We know each other very well and he obviously knew he was being filmed so played up a bit for the camera but he is good fun!!!

[@kellylynn6328]

I love these auction videos! So much fun. You got some great things. I think those curtains could be beautiful once cleaned.. I'd probably soak them in the tub with Woolite..
