Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

Hi Sara & Stephen, Nothing better than a walk through an outdoor market for antiques. I can't wait to see where the new piece of furniture winds up. Mark & Scott

@jules092265 15 дней назад

I know you've heard a million suggestions regarding the table....have you thought about castor wheels. They come in a huge variety of shapes, heights and colors. You could easily raise the table up, lock the castor wheels in place and move the table around like an island.

@BarbB56 15 дней назад

The dressing table is just stunning. Great purchase. The work surface turned out well. Where there’s a will there’s a way. X

@ManorandMaker 15 дней назад

It’s a beautiful piece and will go well in a guest room.

The Featherweight! Passed down to me by my mother who sewed for all five of us and is still the only sewing machine this 66 year old has ever used! I've used it to sew little girl dresses, a wedding gown, hallowe'en costumes and a whole lifetime of curtains and other home decor! How fun to see one still alive and well....in France! I hope it went home that day with someone who will love it for the rest of its cast iron life!

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

I am so happy for you! Not just a featherweight, but an heirloom! How precious!

@like.a.hairbrush6083 8 дней назад

@@ManorandMaker A CANADIAN Heirloom! ;) Originally my Herringchoker mother's, but Nova Scotian for 70 or more years now. Oh, and used by an Ontarian grandchild to sew her homework a time or two (and her Christening gown decades ago). Just finished watching the CD's Patron Days...so nice to see how you all work together!

@kathyschmidt7312 15 дней назад

I would put a rubber mat under that table extension. It looks like it would slide without something providing friction.

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

The legs do have some rubber on them, but you're right, they might need a bit more.

@josephinetetley-jones2727 15 дней назад

Love the dressing table! Could you show us more brocante stall items, please, next time? I love virtual flea marketing(of course, I'd rather be there!)😀

@antcarl1894 15 дней назад

I learned to sew on my Mom's Featherweight she got as a wedding gift in January 1945. I still have it and it's still my favorite! I only have 3 machines

@kokoerper 15 дней назад

Here's my excited comment about the Featherweight! (Way) back in the day when I was in 5th grade I joined our local 4-H club... and I learned to sew. Our club owned several Featherweights that were taken from home to home for the various sewing groups throughout the week, year after year. By the time I was in 7th grade I was making all of my clothes. Later I made two historical costumes, one of which was my wedding dress from a pattern for a 1903 afternoon dress, "suitable for playing croquet." Now I sew other things and there are no Featherweights in my life--but I do love to see one now and then.

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

I love this story! Thank you for sharing! And I'm loving that they were used in the right context - for sharing and creating together!

@pamelarichards7122 7 дней назад

@sylviaprice5303 15 дней назад

Good idea but i'm just worried your table top might slip.

@ManorandMaker 15 дней назад

We’ve now put rubber feet to stop the slipping.

@tina9665 15 дней назад

My thought exactly. It is a good idea but could easily slip off table if bumped by accident.

I bought one of those delightful little featherweights when I started to make Teddy Bears (not toys, collectibles) and it sits on my hall table next to a little old typewriter, I also have my Mum’s Treadle Singer sewing machine which is the only thing I have of hers, she died when I was 7 which was nearly 60 years ago; and it also has pride of place in my hallway - I don’t actually sew with it, but, I can still picture her using it. What a find~~ I hope you did purchase that adorable dressing table!! xx

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

We need to be able to adapt to different heights - Val & Megan are as different in height as Stephen and I (maybe a bit more)

@lisaakinlabi 15 дней назад

OK that's a dream sale - I would be in heaven! Always great finds! That dressing table is amazing! I would totally buy the feather weight.

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

It was sooo good Lisa! We had an immediate counter offer on the table - could have turned a profit. Would have been hard to turn a profit on the sewing machine at EUR300!

That Featherweight! Mine was passed down from my mother who sewed for five of us, and is the only sewing machine this 66 yr old has ever used!

Sarlat is such a beautiful town. I do not drink tea. But one of my best meals was in a tea cafe because it was a Sunday evening and most places were closed. Everything was preserved in or prepared with tea leaves. It was absolutely lovely. Spent a couple of days in Perigueux as well. And it just happened to be truffle season! I so love France!! IMHO you picked the best area of France to live in. Well done.

Looks like a great brocante! I love those little bands that pop up and play jazz and the like. I used to see them pop up at unexpected times in Toulouse when I lived there, and in Fontainebleau. Don't see them as much in my tiny town in western France, but they do show up for parades! At the ones in Toulouse you'd see people spontaneously start dancing in the street or clapping along, right in the middle of a work day. That was one of those moments when I felt "you're not in the US anymore!", and I love it. Great work on the table, totally agree about the height, just looking at a low work table makes my back ache! And I'm sure that dressing table will look great in one of your rooms.

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

The band really added something to the atmosphere. We passed them a couple of times, and you could just see people perk up that little bit more...

@christophercunningham3679 15 дней назад

Steve, for the table extension you may want to look into straps or something to secure the top to the bottom from sliding (needing doe, other heavy pushing jobs).

@borge2014 14 дней назад

@debbiecagliarini4421 15 дней назад

Hi Steve, not sure if mdf is the same in france but many countries have banned it, if i remember correctly it was found to have dangerous particles. Not sure if it is food safe. It may need sealing, but certainly would be worth investigating. A quick bit of looking showed it is to do with the resin that binds the particles together that once cut release formaldehyde. It also needs to be moisture resistant if being used in the kitchen. This is what i found for australia. Sorry if it doesn't apply to france.

@ManorandMaker 8 дней назад

We generally dont prepare food directly on the surface - lots of cutting boards, even if we're not cutting. Thank you for the head's up!
