Brocante shopping for my French farmhouse kitchen 

Thank you so much for sharing this. You’re voicing exactly what I’ve been feeling and guided to. If you and I would have a coffee together I am sure we’d have so much to share and understand each other without using many words. Thank you for being here. I feel gratitude our paths have crossed, I feel our connection ✨

I feel our connection, too. Thank you for letting me see your beautiful face and heart several times a week. (I watch during my rest/recharge time.) All the love for your heart, my friend. 💕

Thanks for the encouragement!

I agree! Seems strange to have all those items exposed to the cold, the snow & rain! Is there not room inside?

They should at least have canopies above all that stuff they don’t cost that much you would even make some out of tarps🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Ever owns that place needs a reality check things you like or stuck to the table

I know! I have several already though.

Welcome to the channel!

Welcome to the channel!

thank you for being here!

My pleasure! Would love to hear what you would have picked up!

@@FrenchCountryLife Loved the laundry basket at 11:22. The 2 bottles with white caps at 12:43. The little white dish with dog in center at 14:09. The metal flower frog at 15:07 (bottom left of screen). The white terrines at 15:50. Would have also picked up the same as you on the mustard pots and the ironstone gravy boat you looked at. Thank you again Marloes!

My pleasure!

Thank you!

Avec plaisir!

I am Dutch and grew up in The Netherlands so quite used to the cold. But if I were to go somewhere where everything is outside I’d be better prepared 🙃

I’d love to know what you would have picked up!

Dank je wel!

Haha, I knooooow! Olav gave up on that I guess 😂

@@FrenchCountryLife which place this Shop

@@hicraftskamal Emmaüs in Sasoge.

I’m lazy, didn’t wear a scarf, hat or gloves… but I would if I’d go out on a walk and it’s that cold!

It was a first for me too!

I’m trying to understand what you’re referring to at 13.31 that could be interesting for Olav?

@@FrenchCountryLife lol, left side of the table, carpenter's planes. 3 wood objects (one short 2 long) with metal & handles sticking out of the top, next to the vases with painted flowers, Olav should know what they are.

ok! Yes he told me he had spotted those! He didn’t get them though.

Wat een leuk idee om er echt een kunstwerkje van te maken!

@@FrenchCountryLife Ik zal eens kijken of ik een een mailadres van jou kan vinden en dan stuur ik je wat foto's.

@@FrenchCountryLife Ik heb je een maitje gestuurd met een voorbeeld 🙂

It's an Emmaüs, they are charity shops that you'll found throughout France. Just look them up in Google maps in the area that you're visiting. Ours is in Burgundy, in a tiny village called "Sasoge". Enjoy your next trip to France!

Oh yes I hear you! We all have our personal taste and I sometimes feel the same about seeing how they put items that in my view are treasures, just out there to fade away because they think it isn’t beautiful. Also, I now go in to find specific items that I need for the house, so I discard other beautiful items in an attempt to not get tempted and to stick to my list. It can be so overwhelming to shop at these places when I don’t put some kind of focus on the search! Scrolling back to the video now though to find the naked lady! 😉

Haha, I didn't see the naked lady either!

I have a good eye for a naked lady lol

Did you find her? She’s maybe a vase or a statue. She has dogs by her feet. She looks wonderful, whatever she is.

That is so kind of you! Happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos! 🙏

If you are okay with me sending you some coupe glasses, where can I mail them to? ❤ Christine C

@@CC-qt3rl I really appreciate that! However depending on where you are sending from, for some incoming parcels (for example from the US and UK) a high amount needs to be paid for customs that is very unpredictable so it may be a hassle. I'm sorry to kill the enthusiasm and really do appreciate your offer. We've just had this experience a couple of times now with family from the US and UK sending us gifts for our boys for example. So don't know where you're from? It's probably easier to communicate on email: bonjour@lasourcebourgogne.fr

Oh I get it. I heard of the same issue with Italy. It is more a hassle for the gift Receiver,,, I’m sorry to hear that. I am from California (40 min away from Sonoma/Napa wine country). Bummer ! I would have love to see you use them. I will meditate that some beautiful ones will come your way soon :))

@@CC-qt3rl Merci!

Het is geen brocante maar de Emmaüs in Sasoge.

Ahh een Emmaüs..... Reuze bedankt! Ik woon sinds juli 2022 in Franrijk en kan nog wel wat spulletjes gebruiken in en om het huis. Heel erg leuk om je flogs te zien! Dankjewel voor het delen! Fijne dag!

I guess? Never happened to me.

😇

Me too! Our house is a traditional farmhouse for the Burgundy region, built with local limestone which probably took 10 years or more. While renovating we’re learning so much about traditional craftsmanship. And while decorating the house I look for the authentic items that were used. To be honest, what’s called “farmhouse” or “french farmhouse” in the interior design world, especially in the U.S., is in my view often way off and really not authentic at all. Or maybe better said: I don’t like that style and it is not what I see here in France in real country and farmhouses. So when they say “it’s gone out of trend” my first response is: was it ever really on trend? Not in the authentic way in my opinion. To me it feels like a timeless style, real. The authentic version will never be out of style in my opinion. We live in an agricultural village and even though I have lived in the city most of my life, I feel much more at home here and love to learn from our local farmers about their work, nature, the animals. I admire their wisdom and feel grateful that they share it with me.

Speaking of trends, ''toile'' print has always been popular here in the US and I love it for upholstery, curtains, table toppers and pillows. One day in Charlotteville, Virginia, I went into a huge fabric shop and asked where the toile section was. Oh, they said, it isn't popular any more, so we put the bolts we had on sale and got rid of it. What !!?? This is a very traditional area, classic style and antiques for decor. i also love the Quimper pottery and hand-painted things for the kitchen.

Jazeker!! 🇳🇱

@@FrenchCountryLife wat leuk! Ik kijk graag mee met jullie avonturen 😀

Yes you’re so right.
