Great start, good investment, hope you won't forget to learn the french language, or maybe you already do? Hope you didn't bring all your 110Vac stuff from the states? The amount of burned out electric equipment I repaired for Americans is beyond believe. Better to sell in usa and buy in eu again. Good luck integrating, it'll take some time 🙂

The ‘ chestnut roaster’ is actually a warming pan. A few burning embers placed inside and then put into ones bed.

I don't think it's hard. It just takes a long time. There are a lot of helpful websites and people who can help or even do everything for you. We're still just using this as a vacation home so we have not been down that road. Yet... ;)

Good Brocante and a lovely haul of stuff. I always think those lovely tablecloths (which we dontreally use) could be repurposed into cushions/ pillows or if someone was really handy, clothes? I saw Charolais on the metal medallions, which are a famous french breed of cows 😊
@FrenchStoneHouseLife

Yeah, we saw medallions just after we did filmed this video and saw asked about them. Good idea for the table clothes.

Your "egg basket" is in fact a "panier à salade" ("salad hamper" in English ?) used to drain the salad after washing it. You use it by shaking it violently, outside obviously.... Of course, you can use it to store eggs if you like.

Try the torchon ham - delicious. It's made, and then muslin is used, keeps it moist and delicious. 😊 I know with certain potatoes you cover them with soil once the leaves come through. Do that twice to help them get bigger. Good job on the frames, the pictures look lovely. Clover is so good for the soil, great to see.

Another interesting vlog, thanks. I would like to know about the painting of your house that you use in the intro. Is it a watercolor? Who made it? I think it's lovely! I would take those small paintings out of the modern frames, use fabric mats, and find thinner frames in a neutral color, like the old gold frame on the tea set painting.

The silver cutlery looked divine and that large transferware set by Mason, charming! You were very well controlled! Cheers!
