Much better now it looks balance❤
It’s changed again! I should do an update soon. 💕
Loved this apartment! Thanks for the tour!
Thank you for watching! 🤩
Yes, absolutely move the table closer to the window so you can enjoy the view out the window as you have your breakfast. I would put the sideboard where you had the lighter sideboard before. That was a great idea to switch the sideboards. The darker sideboard is perfect, I don't think it needs to match the same shade as the doors and everything. It looks better slightly different, giving the room that collected look with history and character. That painting looks great there where you held it up. And when you said something like "I thought it looked too heavy, I'm just going to put a rustic bench there" I completely agree with you.
Thank you for your feedback! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Jenny you have such a gift for styling, I love your eye for detail. I love seeing the countryside as you travel and for one living in NZ it would be lovely if you could remind us where these villages are in France or closest city etc, So look forward to travelling through your beautiful Countryside with you.
Warm message, thank you! Great idea! We were in the general vicinity’s of L’isle Jourdain and Saint Bertrand de Comminges. 🐑
Fabulous haul. Nice that you found so many great items. The countryside is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for your support of our channel! Means a lot to read this. 💕
Lovely finds and l really enjoyed the music you match with your travel scenes...your vidoe photography and displays are beautiful❤ Thank you for sharing🤗
Thank you very much! Jeni here: I rarely get that mention. 🙏🙏🙏
always stunning finds!
We appreciate your message, thank you!
I have a thing for “things” too lol!😂 It’s fun to collect things that we love.🤍🧺🐑
Love the 🐑, thank you! We need to head to your channel and see what you’ve been up too!
I used Google Lens on that 2-piece white set (13:43) and it seems to be missing a domed lid to make a 3-piece set. Found one selling on Ebay from an Austrian company called MZ Habsburg and it is a butter or cheese dish.
Yes the drainage plate/air pockets do make sense for butter or cheese to breath. Thank you! We appreciative of your help. 🙏
The white dish with the removable “frog” is for flowers with short stems such as camellias
As a dealer myself of some 34 years i most deff have a thing for “things” many things i regret not buying and many regret selling but nice to keep for a short time - great to see your finds thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing your comment with us. 💫
Love your garden room!!
Beautiful finds you two . You’re really finding yourselves too I think 😊
Hello so many beautiful finds....I think the pot you found that has a crack, is an ancien pot de chambre....a chamber pot! I have a couple. Of them and use them for plants etc. :)
I so enjoy a trip to the French countryside with you guys. ❤
Wonderful that you both enjoy doing this together. Lovely items
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful things!
You have good collection of pots do not sell them it a good display put them together in a square selves I'm staying in a 38m2 and I have about 11 huge pots it looks good and needed 4 more 😔🤣😂
They are great however our personal collection keeps growing! We need to share now. 🤣
😆
You popped up on my feed and took to you straight away. I love France and things French and your lifestyle. Here to scan for household ideas and visits to those wonderful treasure-trove brocantes which are everywhere in la France. Love your home and garden and your collection of pottery and how you use them and place them everywhere...... A discreet onlooker from NZ. Merci.
Thank you for sharing this lovely message. 😍
It’s only good if you are under 30
🥰🇨🇦
Glad puppy is doing good. So sorry it didn't work with the microgreens. Next time. Thank you so much for sharing.
Get rid of all ivy, it destroys walls and trees.
Congratulations on your new family member!The best friend 🐶🐶🐶 Enjoy! ❤
Thank you! 🫶
Ok ….its a bit late in the season but why don’t you grow herbs in terracotta pots you can control them better …rosemary,basil, my favourite French tarragon. I can smell Provence….if micro greens are what I call salad greens containers about 4 inches high put on the seeds and water you will harvest salad leaves all summer! Listen Justin and jenny I tried to grow an aubergine in north Scotland because the garden centre sold them it was a disaster! I grew a grape thing ….prepare the ground for next year and go and do some brocantes cos you’ve nailed that … you’re learning 😊 ivy no! Bourgainvilea love it …😊have a great weekend with fur baby
Do you enjoy growing veg & herbs? We have a variety of mint and chives in the old pig troff outside and rosemary in pots outside of the rental cottage. More manageable! We yielded 2 eggplants last year. 🤣 Bougainvillea? Oh googling now!
Oh my those are lovely climbers!
Yes a glass jar keep rinsing and you will see the growth over time. Simples 😅
이쁘게 정원을 꾸미고 씨앗을 심고 키우는 영상도 기대해봅니다. 자연을 즐기는 행복한 삶을 늘 응원하겠습니다.
감사합니다! 저는 동두청에서 태어났어요. 어디세요?
@@Frenchcountryfriends 아..그렇군요. 반갑습니다. 저는 부산입니다.
Puppy looks very happy and content at your place. There is so much running space once you don't have to worry about him running off. If you have a farmers market in your town, I would buy the veggies there. You support the local farmers and have a chance to chat with the locals. You have so much work otherwise. Don't feel guilty that you don't have a veggie plot yet. There is too much pressure everywhere to be perfect. I like that you don't know everything. (Yet) ❤
Our local farmers can use the support too plus it's always a fun little shopping trip. Have a wonderful weekend you both...
I am giving a retirement party for a colleague in our backyard tomorrow. Lots to do and bake. But beautiful weather and I can use all my dishes I collected over the years.😊 I wish you three a beautiful weekend as well.🌞
Staffy eating celery! What sort of malarkey is this! I’m so going to love love love this ….my two loves ….rescue Staffys and brocante. Did I manifest this! Heaven!
🌿 🤣 We enjoyed reading comment very much, thank you very much for the warmth.

I had ivy in a house wall that i removed as it was destroying the mortar replaced it with a lovely climbing hydrangea
We didnt know climbing hydrangeas existed!
You are almost entertaining and adorable failure. You need an elder for advisement my love. That is why collective families were important. No worries, you will get there. Today we use the internet but in olden days survival was taught by loved ones/elders to the young. Things like fermented foods ( better for you than vitamins). All those gorgeous pot you love were used for necessary items to stay alive. Things like oils and fermented foods. When the Germans ran through France burning crops, killing all live stock and steeling everything else do you wonder how the country people survived? I understand it’s not a popular subject but one worth looking into my sweet. They did not worry about micro greens. Clear a few square feet and teach yourself about carrots, potatoes & beets. Start simple and grow from there. Study how to enrich your small plot and enjoy success. Later you can support a larger area. I find you adorable and so in need of a grandmama! Much love, Ruth from beautiful Oregon, USA.🥰
Thank you for your message. Our carrots, beans and beets did wonderfully last year. This sections we're more manageable. I'm definitely starting a much smaller garden!
Congratulations on your new fur baby ! I pray she brings many years of joy!❤️
Thank you! ⭐️
certain ivys are horrible for mortar - walls will crumble eventually - I'd remove
Hedera helix the common ivy can destroy walls as it will penatrate into mortar and expand over time , the wall or building will become weaker and crack allowing water to enter the mortar joints Parthenocissus tricupidata also known as Boston ivy is a much better climber to have on a wall as it wont penatrate the mortar it is in the grape family , it may be the vine growing on your house ?
Yes we have the grape variety on our home. We were told it's a type of Ampelopsis.Lovely red berries for the birds to enjoy.
So I’m not certain but i heard that ivy destroying building material is an old wives tale. But def it will kill a tree. 😊
I’m confused about ivy. 🤣 But you’re right, definitely not for the trees.
Beautiful BB! Thrilled for all three of you! Lovely birdfeeder! The vines......so many vines! One question.....who did the painting of your home that is on the beginning of your videos? It is such a lovely painting! Cheers!
Thank you Jill. It’s actually a photo that was generated to resemble a painting using an app.
@@Frenchcountryfriends ery nice!
That puppy face 🐶🥰 Adore bullies. Ours were all adopted as well.
Oh my goodness Bibi is so adorable. Really pretty young lady with tuxedo markings on her fur, just like my cat… I have a cat with pretty much the same markings on her black fur as Bibi,.. including the one thin vertical line on the face… so amazing and pretty coincidence. Welcome to the vlog Bibi…
I’ve loved reading this. Yes, markings on animals are quite fascinating. I love Bibi’s natural white collar around her fur. I wish I can see a picture of your cat! 🐈⬛ We are on IG if you have an account.
What a wonderful addition with the new puppy. I hope the vines that grow on the house aren't doing any damage. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you, we are very happy to have here.l although she’s the one doing damage…to our hedges chasing lizards. 🤭 These particular vines don’t damage facades. These vines have been growing for over 50 years and the walls/paint are still very much intact.
Looks like Boston ivy (Parthenocissus Tricuspidata). Usually a safe vine for brickwork. The wisteria, though, can be very damaging to structures since over years they can become immense and can damage brickwork.
Welcome, Bibi. So happy for you AND your new fur baby!
Thank you! 🙏
I’m on my 5th black rescue Staffy. They are my everything, love to be included in your life. We also foster Staffy puppies for two rescues. But only rescue mature staffys. So much sassy staffytude…..it’s the best.
Thank you for sharing this with us! 💕💕💕💕
I knew it was going to be a puppy!
So glad you found a new puppy to add to your family
Thank you K, she is a sweetheart. We hope she continues to acclimate well. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. We hope it nots all rain and thunderstorms like it is here.
Your new dog is delightful when we lost our 20 year old kitty some months later we adopted two rescues and i thougjt it good to give two more homeless kittys a chance of a home in my old kitty’s memory im sure she will bring you great pleasure ❤
We hope the two you adopted adjusted easily into with and vice versa. I thought I’d feel some guilt and Justin was worried that it were it too soon, but we didn’t feel either of what we feared. A relief!
Your new baby is beautiful. I love pitties.
Bebe is just adorable.
❤ Congratulations on your new addition to the family. ❤
Glad to see the new addition, hopefully we see more of her soon.😊
