    Stephanie I think your grandmother would be so happy with how your life has unfolded and that you have so many blessings. A grandparents biggest reward is to see our grandkids blossoming. I didn't have the luxury of a loving, happy family such as yours so I can only imagine your feelings. Hold on tight to those wonderful memories of yours.

    The German painted box says, "Contentment be my peace, I think a lot and be silent about it"

    • @papagaaiable
      @papagaaiable Pƙed 24 dny

      So lovely you also deciphered the text: Zufriedenheit sei meine Ruh, ich denke viel und schweig dazu! My grandma was an artist and painted the same kind of boxes, I have one she did for me that says: Von aussen bin ich fröhlich bunt, doch still verschwiegen auf dem Grund, Gefall ich Dir so bin ich Dein , leg was Du liebst in mich hinein! in English: My outside is joyous and colourful but but I'm descreet and silent on the inside. If you like me I'm yours put what you love inside me. So funny that the two texts are so similar. I think they were often used for love letters. I keep the letters of my mom inside.

    I feel the same about my grandmother...though in my case the house is gone and i didn't visit that place since forever.....i burst in tears just by looking at photos...of old time when i was a kid,a teen, a young woman....still smelling her house,her kitchen, her bedroom...her hair. I cried with u Stephanie, wonderful people have left wonderful memories for us, miss her too.

      Smells can definitely trigger memories ...when I smell lilac water I immediately think of my grandmother ...and when I smell Jergens lotion it overwhelms me with memories of my mother ...ivory soap recalls kindergarten where ivory soap was used for washing up.

      Stephanie's grandmother was NOT in the video. The woman is her Aunt, affectionately called Tattinette. She is Isabel's sister. Isabel is Stephanie's mother. Tattinette and Ton-Ton Steven are Amaury's parents, which in turn makes Amaury and Stephanie cousins. The grandmother's house is where Tattinette and Isabel grew up.

    • @stephaniedavis8064
      @stephaniedavis8064 Pƙed 25 dny +3

      I stand corrected. I had to rewatch the video over and over. Finally, saw the picture of her grandmother. It went by too quickly. Yes. Isabel looks like her mother!! I apologize

      Those screens were so uniquely delightful. I wish she had bought them! I couldn't decide if they were painted by Europeans to evoke images of traditional Chinese figures ...or painted by Chinese to evoke Europeans figures ...I think the former maybe, as the instruments seemed Chinese.

    My grandmother lived near ChambĂ©ry. I spent a few summers with her and I oddly played with her magazines in a similar way. Brought me to tears
phew
 In America we have “flea markets” which sell have beanie babies, longaberger baskets , children’s bicycles , and Aunt Esther’s horrible china purchased at the grocery decades prior. Oh, you are lucky ducks.

    • @crystalsdance
      @crystalsdance Pƙed 24 dny

      Yes! I said almost the same ... Made in China crap all over... nothing like there. They do not import nor create and consume near the volumes as us. I'd take those street brocantes anyday over our thrift stores and flea markets filled with trash!

    I enjoyed your visit to the brocante. What wonderful items. Loved the lamps and your other selections.
    I did think those green vine stands/ candelabras would have gone well with your Ardmore room.
    Enjoyed seeing your aunt and uncle in their new environment.
    And I think your grandma would be happy to see you back at her home where all your precious memories of her were made. Keep visiting and in time the happy memories will outweigh your sadness. â€ïžâ€ïžđŸ•
