Looking for ANTIQUES and CURIOSITIES at Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil - Journey to the Château, Ep. 111

- čas přidán 13. 07. 2023
- In this week's Friday episode, Patrick and Stuart show some of their recent trips and purchases at local brocantes (French antiques flea market), one of which was at the Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil. The 14th-century medieval castle which combines Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance style architecture hosts an annual event called "le Salon des Curiosités" (the Curiosities Fair).
Join Patrick and Stuart on their journey to find a neglected, forgotten, or crumbling château or castle in France, and then continue to follow them as they work on its restoration, rénovation, decoration, and furnishing. Along the way, they will also create and share videos on their preparation for having gîtes for guests, and an event venue in their chateau (wedding, birthday, anniversary, organization or club meetings, retreats, etc.).

I’m loving the chandelier reflected in the mirror ❤. I think the folks in Sweden will be able to see it’s brilliance!! 😅😅😅
🤣😉😘. I bet they can. Thank you. It is really remarkable. ❤. Hugs
The chandelier is beautiful in the mirror. Magnificent!
Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Love the brocant excursions. I can shop vicariously through you. Fun seeing all the exquisite items and your purchases. The reflection of the chandelier in the mirror is gorgeous. Cheers
Thank you so much!
❤🥰
Patrick, you look adorable in that hat!! You should wear it more often!
I really enjoy our shopping trips together because I save so much money watching both of you😊
More fantastic scenery, more magnificent châteaux, more incredible finds, more sparkling chandeliers, more July birthdays, more, more, more... the needle is stuck on the victrola, Stuart and Patrick... and I love it!
Thank you so much Edward ❤😊❤
Hello Darling Patrick and Stuart. Wow Wow Wow Chateau D’ -Ainay-le- Vieil is just so beautiful , the turrets are just amazing.
I love the tablecloth and the blue/ Turquoise glass. It would be a privilege to dine at that table with all your beautiful table settings.
Patrick darling I must compliment you on your outfit , very Mediterranean looking and the hat really suit’s you. I just adore watching you both. Xx 🇨🇮
That chandelier is a huge, beautiful orb that is most likely seen from space. Beautiful!
😂. The Martians called and complained. 😂🥳😂. Love it. Thank you
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 😂
I might have said this last year; but, my father, whom Patrick, at first, reminded me of a younger version, and one of my sisters' birthdays were in July. Happy birthdays July babies and happy heavenly birthday to my father and sister!
Happy Birthday Celebrations to you both. Happy Birthday to me today. I am 63 today and feeling much better. We had a lovely visit from my brother and wife from Labrador. They took the train across Canada ending in Vancouver. They stayed a week with us. We did so much. The best was a gondola up a mountain with ocean view. Great restaurant and gift shop on top of the mountain and below it. All are wheelchair accessible, which is awesome for those that need it. They slow the gondola down or stop for people to get on. I loved it. We took them to the famous Davie Street, then to Stanley Park and the Totem poles. We walked the longest peir in Canada in White Rock. I am sure I gained 10 pounds with all the great food. Pat and I are going to our favorite sushi restaurant tonight. It is a lovely hot day here today.
That was great brocanting and shopping. Those rugs are beautiful. The chandelier looks amazing. I look forward to meeting your guest friends. Isn't it awesome to have guests who volunteer to work. My brother and wife did a lot to help us out. He is very good at carpentry and fixed many little things inside and outside. Stuart, you should get that guy to make a rug from your toile.
Love to you both.❤❤
Happy birthday Peter. And many more. Another cancer. Yay. 😘🥳😘. I am glad you had such a great time with your family. Fantastic week. How divine. It sounds all just magical.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to have them weave Stuart’s designs?!? They were lovely. We love them. So glad you r brother in law did help. We all need that bit of help and support.
You might be able to see the chandelier shining all the way from France. Sending love and prayers to you two. Love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
I love the table cloth. Stuart, maybe you should get him to make a small cloth using your design and maybe sale them to your subscribers and the Airbnb people.
I had the same thought. Great minds think alike. Love your comment. ❤❤❤
Really enjoyable video! The chandelier is stunning! Birthday wishes to all 🎉🥳
Thank you very much 😊😊😊
The reflection of the chandelier in mirror is beautiful it completes the room
Thank you Jerry. It is pretty. What a sparkler….. 👍🏻🥂👍🏻. Hugs from Colombe ❤😊❤
OMG I have the exact same knife rests and they are French. I have a silver set which I have collected over the last 10-15 years and have 27 pieces per place setting. I don't think I will ever use all the pieces LOL. Never for one meal even if it was a ten course dinner! The hat looks very good on you and Stuart did a lovely job again with the music and videography. Hope you are having fun with your guests this week🥂
It was almost too much fun….😂❤😂.
Ok…. It was fantastic. That is amazing. Now wouldn’t you love to do a 10 course dinner? I love it. Hugs from Colomb❤.
First of all, Stuart you choose the nicest music to accompany us on the tours...thank you! Patrick you look good in the straw hat...it suits you! Wow, what a gorgeous setting at the castle for a flea market! I noticed so many things that I want to buy! The chandelier lit up looks fantastic! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH as well as all your guests! Have some fun!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I agree. Their video opening is one of the only ones I don't skip to get to the main content.
@@EmilyBoltz I hear you!
There was so much to enjoy in this vlog, thank you so much! Of course I’m loving the brocantes visits and loved all your beautiful purchases. Happy July birthdays and look forward to seeing some of the party next week Stuart and Patrick? Oh that chandelier is simply breathtaking! ❤️
@@EmilyBoltzlove you so much for that kind comment. ❤❤❤
Oh Patrick the Table cloth, the chandelier, are so beautiful. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE
Thank you so very much Valarie. I love the tablecloth and the chandelier……. Fantastic. ❤❤❤
Should be fantastic!
It was great. ❤❤
Always so much fun when you take us shoppng with you
Thank you for the showing your wonderful tours... Arizona USA
You two just make my heart sing. From the minute I see you I smile much needed after this last year when I thought hubby was going, in hospital for ages. Back now recovering but nurses still coming daily. Lucky to have this great health care in France. . Anyway your laughter is infectious love the chandelier and hope we can come down your way next year. Xx
Penny, that is fantastic news. Praying and wishing for a fast and full recovery. Indeed….. we have great healthcare here. We are so humbled that we can bring you smiles and laughter. That is so kind of you to say. Sending you love and hugs from Colombe 💕💖💕
Happy birthday Patrick for July 🍷🍾
I wonder if the castle has ever been used as a movie set?
I don’t know but now I will start to research. Thank you. 😊😊😊
Loved the fields of sunflowers, beautiful. I love going to antique/flea markets. U never know what u will find.
That is how I feel. I love it even if we don’t find anything. 😊❤😊
I loved looking at all the things while you were shopping. There were two porcelain jars, I swear they looked like Limoges and were beautiful. If I could have jumped through my iPad and grabbed them I would have. Please take us on more shopping trips I love watching and I love the way the two of you have such pleasant conversation always with a smile. Have fun at your party or I hope you had fun at your party!🎂
I know what you mean- here in California I look for a certain Italian bowl that is top of the thrift store list - I have found 2. Lol I see it often enough on their videos. I think I would have to bring an empty suitcase if I visited! Dangerous 😂
You are so kind. Thank you very much. We see a lot of decorative items and hold back because we are not really in decoration mode….. 😮😢😮. Yet. 😂. Huge hugs. And….. there is a lot of Limoges on the brocantes……. 😊
@@EmilyBoltzthat is amazing. Yes, and empty suitcase is advisable…. 😂😊😂. We completely understand. ❤❤❤
that's my favourite color too, Patrick! what a lovely vase
Your flowers 🌸 are so beautiful. I love when you show them. Love you finds. The chandelier can be seen in space it’s so sparkly ✨
The Brocante at the castle 🏰 was 👏 amazing!! Such a great job of labeling and staging... very professional looking!! Clean and organized immaculately!! That's a real treat to see for buyers. Oh I spotted a wardrobe with tons of carving and SOOO GORGEOUS. WOW. STUARTS CAMERA HALTED ON IT. I hope u guys bought it. 💓 it would be alot of €€ but so magnificent!🤩😍
Thanks so much! 😊
It was a very special event. We loved it. The wardrobe was out of our price range…. 😮. Thank you so much. Hugs ❤❤
I love that you drive us to the brocante - it feels like we are going with you. I really appreciate the continuity you have with your descriptions before transition to video. It may seem in the weeds but the flow really makes a difference. Someday I will visit - Lotto willing😂❤
Praying to the lottery gods ❤.
Thank you so very much. What a great comment. Hugs. 😊❤
Gooday! Patrick and Stewart. Sorry not messaged recently. Been very busy with work and my own renovations. Wishing you both a wonderful birthday 🥂. Love how when you originally sat to do your chats for the vlogs, firstly in the US and how it eventually became deconstructed to! How it’s gone from
being deconstructed to coming together week after week in France. Love you and your vlogs as always. Thank you both❤️❤️
Happy birthday to the July babies 🥳🎂🎉🎊😍😘
🤩🥰🥳 indeed
I thought I was going to be able to see the chandelier lit! Soon enough, I’m sure. Enjoy your party and happy birthday celebrations to you both! 🎈🎂🎈
You did not watch the entire video, did you? 🤣
I did. Just saw the reflection in the mirror. I’m certain it’s glorious and will see it soon. You know I’m always watching your wonderful videos. 🤷🏼♀️@JourneytotheChateau
We will show the chandelier again in detail. Love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 You both have beautiful taste in whatever you do. Looking forward to your next video! ❤️
Now Patrick is dapper🥰

Love watching you two laughing and enjoying each others company in whatever you do ! ❤❤❤a joy to watch
Nancy, that is so very nice of you to say. Thank you very much. ❤😊❤
I love BLUE and the vase is wonderful……I’m jealous! 😂
Aloha and Birthday wishes to Patrick and is it also Stuart’s B’day? My mom’s B’day was July 13th. All that wonderful Cancerian energy - of course it’s all about the home and gardens. That blue vase is stunning; I adore blue glass. Thank you for sharing this bountiful journey with us💎🏰💙.
Alpha and thank you. I adore blue glass too. ❤😊❤.
Including your mom and a few other viewers, we had about 20 birthdays but celebrated 4 last Saturday. Of course it is about the home and the garden for us. You are amazingly spot on. Huge hugs from Colombe. ❤💕🥂
Patrick you’re looking quite dapper today
Happy birthday to all the peeps for July.
What a lovely video and so many beautiful things shared. The castle, gardens, brocante and the items you bought are so beautiful. Love that tablecloth and the blue vase.
The chandelier in the mirror behind you is stunning.
Have a beautiful weekend and I pray no rain for your party. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much. We had the ONE day with some rain…….. 😮😢😮. But Donna and Mary set the table in the dining room……. Amazing. 🥂🥰😘the vase and tablecloth……. Wow love them too. 😊😊
Hugest hugs from Colombe ❤❤❤
Oh i have 12 crystal knife rests. Very traditional in the old south. I love the flowers and the 🎶 music.
Lovely treasures once again and the chandelier looks stunning through the mirror. A big happy birthday hope you both have a brilliant day 🎉🎂🎁🥂, great video once again see you both soon take care 💕🌼🤗
Thank you Carole. It was fun and we appreciate the birthday wishes. Huge hugs. ❤😊❤😊❤
Chandelier lit up🎉 for the Egyptian King 😂 I love it and your purchases from the brocant especially the table cloth it is beautiful. So Happy Birthday to all of you have a wonderful time 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤ I nearly forgot I love your door bell it’s so cute 😊
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you very much. I Iove the table cloth. Huge hugs from Colombe ❤
Patrick, I love your hat it looks good on you.
I rewatched this as I knew I had seen the Chateau de-Ainay le vieil but didn’t know where. Then it hit me, this was the background for the Antiques Roadshow . They toured Europe and shot the show and the insides and also had people bring their own antiques to be evaluated. What fun you must have had.
Noticed the chandelier immediately …stunning.
❤❤❤. Thank you. It is stunning isn’t it. ❤
Lovely as always. ❤ You’re killing me! These shopping vlogs are absolute torture! I fear these summer markets will all be over before I get my butt across the pond.
Yes Patrick, a Cancer and a Leo. And boy, is Max ever a Leo. Meow! Or should I say Roar!!! Looking forward to seeing your birthday celebration. Wish we could be there. Perhaps something to plan for, next year?
That chandelier! 😎 I had to put on sunscreen! SPF50! But, just lovely. ❤
Big hugs to you both. ❤❤
I absolutely adore you and your comments and support is amazing. Yes please….. we have the best brocantes on summer….. and it is amazing. We will plan it around the really good ones!!!
What a mix you two! So you are a Lion tamer! 😉😘💖. Best thing ever. 😊
My face is still slightly burned…… 😂. It is sooo bright. We have to wait for John to install the dimmer. Love to you both. ❤😊❤. And thank you. ❤
There is a Buddha at every brocante😂. You must pinch yourselves everyday. These experiences make all of the work you do worth it… I bet. I wanted to let Stuart know that I’m a fan of his shirts.💗
Thank you! ❤️
Sarah….. always love your comments. ❤😘💕
Yippee! A brocante episode! Love these - thanks you two wonderful people xxx 🎉 🎉
Yay. Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it. Hugs from Colombe. ❤❤❤
I love you two, that’s all I have to say! Love, love you both!!💕
I think they would be so fun to meet. Good humor and good hearts.
Thank you Ronnie. What a fantastic comment. Love you right back ❤😊❤
@@EmilyBoltzso nice of you. So far, people who stayed enjoyed our company. 😊❤😊. Huge hugs 😊😊
Happy Birthday! I was born July 10, 1957 in Connecticut
HI Patrick & Stuart, I'd like to be able to follow you to a Brocante when we are finally settled in France. I love shopping for antiques, I noticed a couple of pieces of St. Louis Crystal, the tall Ewer was beautiful at the show you were visiting. The blue vase was lovely. I'm a big fan of Royal Copenhagen Blue Flower and I have collected a dinner service for 36 which I have used annually for our Passover dinner, and like other china patterns it goes in the dishwasher. Thank goodness. Mark & Scott
Happy Birthdays!! ❤❤❤
thank you handsome. Very kind of you.
Oh my goodness… what a feast for the senses that must have been, when you were at that amazing castle!
It must have been hard to know what to look at first with the beautiful grounds and building and then all those lovely booths full of gorgeous treasures.💕
Wow!
Your garden is beautiful- how much pleasure it must give you.
Happy happy Birthday to you both!!🎉🎉🎉
Hi Jeanie. It was truly amazing. Was a first for us to be at a 14th century castle with all those antiques for purchase….. we love the chateau grounds and have plenty of ideas. 😘💖💕. Hugs.
The “blonde bimbo” chose well! I love that vase Patrick. I have a couple in that shape but they’re clear. Not a beautiful blue like yours. The tablecloth was gorgeous too. Great choices! Love the hat!
You are soooooo kind. Thank you very much. And I love that vase too. Love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
We think you must be great fun to be with. Brian and I have enjoyed watching you both . Thank you Eileen
Hi Eileen and Brian. You have to find out some day but Donna and Mary are having a great time. Come on over. ❤😊❤
Hello I love watching...the bell u have in Portugal they call a bread bell when the Baker delivered to the gate on the wall would be a small door that could be opened and the bread could be placed in and the .oney taken like a two sided mail box lol then he would ring the bell to let the person in the house to know bread had been delivered ❤.lol
I love your purchases, but more so, I love that you both are living life to the fullest and are having fun. Happy Birthday and have a great party. The chandelier is stunning lit up. Many hugs to you both, xx
Thank you so much!💕
Darling Stephanie. Thank you for all your kindness. The party was amazing and lasted till 4 am…. 😮😮😮😮
Love the chandelier and sending you love and hugs. ❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I now have to add knife rests to my tableware envy list !!! They are beautiful along with the table covering!!!❤
Hi Clive. Never had them no am in love now….. ❤😊❤. Hugs.
🎶HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎶 I know you'll have a smashing celebration rain or shine!
The knife rests are wonderful!
We did and it was fantastic. So kind of you. Love the knife rests. Hugs ❤❤❤
I seem to have missed so much and out of sequence with your Vlogs! There has been a horrific virus sweep through here that simply drains all energy. It is not COVIT, but hell I have never spent days in bed before so weakened. 14 hours at a time in bed exhausted!!! But today I wake and although weak, I feel I have turned a corner and am on the mend.
I had to come say happy birthday lads.. Im thrilled mine is tomorrow along with my twin brothers on the 17th. I loved the outings, villages and countryside... so beautiful. And that chandeliers is stunning... what a centerpiece it is. So happy birthdays lovely men 😘😘
how i wait for and enjoy your show Happy Birthday , Bonne anniversaire, cant write it is german right now
You guys never fail to make me chuckle. 😁 Thanks for yet another fun video!
I have the same problem with languages - I’m looking for a word and it will pop into my head in every language I know, except the one I need! Heh, if I’m switching languages often (in a group with no single shared language), even the word in my own native language might fail to show up! 🤣
They have something similar to knife rests in Japan, but of course they’re chopstick rests. They come in a huge variety of shapes and designs - I have so many I couldn’t resist buying. 😁 And because things come in sets of five, and it’s traditional to mix sets when setting a table, I can do combos on the dining table. ♥️
Thank you Peni.
Ohhhhh those darn words….. and indeed….. sometimes I can’t even get it in my own language 😂😊😂.
So frustrating. The knife rests, or chopsticks are fantastic. Great collectors item. Love that you mix the sets. Love from Colombe and thank you indeed ❤❤❤
Yup, I have that problem in English - and I’m not blonde! 🤣
If you want to see the chopstick rests, look up “hashi oki” (which translates as “bridge”). 🙂
You’ll see painfully cute ones (because it’s Japan 😉), but also stunningly elegant ones.
When you see a set of four, that is being sold by a non-asian-owned company, because four is a bad-luck number. You’ll never see a set of four of anything sold in Japan. I didn’t know that at first, and wondered why some shops in my relatively small non-tourist town would give me a small extra thing when I was first buying dishes, etc.
It’s funny, because I lived there for years, when I see that (for Japanese things), it gives me the creeps! I didn’t know that until I checked what a search would bring up. 🤣
Blue is my favourite colour! The vase is gorgeous.
Mine too…. ❤😊❤
You Guys.......... Bha Ha Ha Ha, you both are so funny talking about this light! I'm cracking up.
🥰😘🤩
Happy birthday to you both. I don’t quite share your days as my birthday is on the 21st July. I’ll be 62 years young! Sending love and best wishes from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ 🇫🇷
Happy birthday to you in Adelaide. How fantastic. Our viewers in Australia are absolutely fantastic. Love from Colombe. 😘💖💕
The antique sale was very nice with some quality pieces. The baccarat chandelier is magnificent and extremely bright at the high level, even on video. Happy Birthday to you both !! Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Hello my friend. There were amazing items and we are not ready for some high end items….. 😳😱🤯. The chandelier is amazing and the crystals are magnificent. We will eventually have a dimmer when John is finished. Thank you so much. We had a great party. Till 4 am. 😮😂😮. Love from Colombe . ❤❤
We're experiencing serious flooding here in Vermont. The rivers are overflowing after heavy rains and thunderstorms. Our town has lost it's only grocery store 😢 post office, town offices, farms a nd several local businesses. Many other areas of the state have serious damage...kayakers in the streets of Montpelier, the Capital. Maybe it's "the hundred year flood", worst since '27😢 My house is high and dry, but so many friends and neighbors are hard hit. So nice to go treasure hunting with you guys, break from the recovery efforts. And just seeing handsome Patrick in that hat was a treat😊 Love to you from hot, soggy VT.❤
I live in Pennsylvania now and just saw all the damage to Vermont! I’m so sorry for you & your town. Watching Stuart and Patrick always brightens my day and hope it does yours❤
Ohhhh no….. we are so very sorry. Nature is so unpredictable. Recovery is always difficult. I went though 5 hurricanes in Florida. It can be so devastating. Glad you are ok and praying for your friends and neighbours.
I feel veer touched that our little vlog brings you distraction and a way to recharge. We send love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
Happy birthday,s
Patrick u look very FRENCH IN UR HAT!!💯👍
Thank you so much. ❤😊❤. It was Stuart’s suggestion. 😊😊😊
Hi Stuart & Patrick, Oh my goodness,what stunning gardens,thank you for taking me along to the amazing Grenire ? It’s one of my favourite things. I absolutely love seeing what your going to buy,for the chateau!

Hat and t shirts is fantastic bravo 👏🏼
There was something charming tonight with the video. Your cutlery rests are super. I have some fine crystal ones( rarely used🤣). What a magnificent glow the chandelier has, wow. Patrick,I’m in awe of you having 4 languages, I struggle with two! Thank you for sharing.
Hi there. Thank you so very much. It was a special energy, I agree. ❤
Love the knives rests. What a find. We will make a point of using them. The chandelier….. wow. 😊
Yes, it’s 4 languages I try to juggle. 🤣😂🤣😱. Mostly it is fine. 😮😅. Love your comment. ❤
What a stunning backdrop to a lovely brocante - your woven cloth gorgeous. Chandelier wow - thank you for sharing - from Australia.
Hi Veronica. Such a lovely comment. Thank you so much. And that chandelier….. 🎉🎉🎉
Ohhhh serious chandelier envy :) It is beautiful and with the reflection in the trumeau/mirror. Happy soon-Birthdays !!!
.
Fun to see what is for sale loved all the clocks and knife holders. Overwhelming. Glad you guys are back in your spots. 😂Threw me last time when you switched places.
🤣
I know……. We had a moment with too much sun behind us…… 😂. So we switched. 😊
There were some amazing items. We are often tempted but have to guard our money 🤣😂🤣. Thank you so much. And my favourite great aunt was named Gretchen. Love from Colombe ❤
Good morning Patrick & Stuart, you are looking so good, relaxed, happy and ready for the day. It is a lovely video, lots of good news, and the visit to the grand, the very grand chateau was most enjoyable. The goods on sale were very classy. Loved the cutlery, and the square glass box with the crystal inside. I am sure I would have been tempted to buy a few items that were on display. Those table cutlery holders, I am sure I have read those are collectables. They are available in silver, brass, bone china, ivory (very scarce) and Perspex. I absolutely more than just love them, they complete a table setting. We just leave our knives or forks on the side plate, and the table covering is exquisite. The broidery work is just something else!! I hope the weather is in your favour for the dinner, it would be most enjoyable. We had one terrible hail storm here years ago, like golf balls, people decorated outside, put up marquis, it all came down with the heavy hail storm. Our garden was immaculate all ready for the big day December 25th, not a leaf on the ground it was perfect. I saw this black cloud bank but just looked and at 7 pm all hell broke loose. On Christmas day there was only stalks on the trees, the rose trees had been slashed, the pathway was laden with leaves and our spirits were down in the complete neighbourhood. It was a disgusting experience. I wish you all the best for beautiful weather, a great day and happy cooking and baking. Only the best wishes for celebrating. Many blessings, kind regards. E n j o y :)
❤️
Oh wow…… what a terrible Christmas. Something one doesn’t forget….. ever. I loved though multiple hurricanes in Florida, USA….. I can relate. We had dinner in the dining room…. And it was fantastic. Be blessed and thank you so very much. ❤😊❤
Oh YES I thought u had a new Chandelier...it's amazing,💝 beautiful and I see u have the candleabras on the mantle I know one of the candle holders was bent. But its fix and stunning💖 But OH MY UR BACK GROUND IS BEAUTIFUL GUYS!! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL,😍💞🌹🌹🌻🍾🥂🍷🍷HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICK 🎆🎈🎉

Great video.. once again and love what you found!
Hi Pam. Thank you and thank you even more. Hugs.
Oh my, that rug beater brings back memories. We had one made of rattan when I was young living on a dairy farm. I remember hanging the back door rug on the clothesline and beating it like crazy. I also remember my Mom visiting the older neighborhood ladies who had real rugs on the fancy dining room table. Really nice thick rugs with Dutch scenery on them. I'm second generation Dutch living in America, but we had a small Dutch community that I grew up in. Love your videos guys!😊 (The rugs came off when the table was used) 😂
Indeed….. those rug beaters…. What great memories you have. Love it. So glad you like our videos. How very kind of you. Thank you so very much. ❤😊❤
What a nice brocante you've showed us.
I sure understand why Patrick wants the carpet beater because you can clean very good with it when you hit a rug . I do have one of my own,and I only have just one dog,but the sand and dust you hit out of a rug goes by kilos,haha.
Thank you and indeed……. One dog, one needs a carpet beater….. what do we really need? 😂😊😂. Love it 😂😂😂
On most of my chandeliers I have dimmers on them. The ambience and mood changes with every twist of the 'dial'. It really is quite lovely. Best to you and to all of your viewers.
Hi Frank. Hope all is well. We will have a dimmer here too. Once John is done with it. 😂😊😂
It is true. Although it is hard to find good dimmable lightbulbs …..😊😮😊. Hugs.
Beautiful table cloth, the Chandelier looks amazing 😊❤
