What a special French town in which you have chosen to live. I loved seeing all your vintage purchases but as much as I liked those vases, I wouldn’t want demons in my house. 🤣 Even though the garden is overgrown, there were plenty of beautiful flowers to enjoy. The new stove is exquisite! Those African baskets at the market caught my eye; I must have five of them throughout my home. Enjoy your week! Thanks for sharing. 🎉
I am so excited you are back in France ! Absolutely love your videos and your fabulous house. No ! Absolutely no garbage men breaking into my house either at 6 am lol..
That’s my favorite butter too. 😋 ….Yes being away all Summer I’m sure left your garden in a state. Maybe if you can’t be there in the future during peak growth season you could pay a local gardener to come in a couple of times to mow, trim, prune, etc. Welcome back to France !
Gosh the Sunday Market is fabulous loved 🥰 the sewing 🧵 booth or tables so awesome 🤩 and the old van selling plants 🪴 Such a beautiful place you both chose just Magical!I am sure you will get used to your new Home 🏡 the garden 🪴 is Amazing so different the plants have such lovely history and are all settled here and there I just love it 🥰 must smell heavenly
Thanks for the nice video. It's always interesting what you buy for the house. Your haul looks so good 😍. The bowl at your window looks like art deco. Enjoy your stay 👍🍀
Wow! What a long haul flight. How annoying is that having no hot water. Love your pretty stove btw. It’s gorgeous. Love your new antique furniture especially the hallway tree it’s amazing. Yummy! All the delicious market foods 😋
Thanks for watching! The boiler man is coming tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed, I will soon have hot water! 🤞 The international flight itself is only 9.5 hours, but all the time spent waiting to catch each plane and train really adds up!
0:35 I've been watching since your first video (I'm an American living in France) and one of the many things I like is that you are making an effort to learn French and incorporating it into your videos. Amboise is such a lovely town. I live in a different part of France but I plan to move to the Loire Valley in the next few years.
I am chuckling at the amazing auction prices you are manifesting! Here in central Mexico we are paying more for faked antique rustic tables, and second hand bentwood/leather lattice equipale chairs. Way to go, u guys.🙌🏽✊🏽😳
Yes, the abundance of antique furniture (and relatively low demand for it) makes things surprisingly cheap. It's so different from buying antiques in the U.S, and I guess Mexico too. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos! Glad you’re back in France! My husband and I spent a lovely week in a little town outside Amboise called Lemray, so we went into Amboise a lot! I love seeing the city from your perspective! That market is fabulous!
Love your stove and your eclectic style! You got a lot of good treasures. The table that opens up (with the roses) is a typical "table de bridge". Used to play a bridge card game. Yours in in the "Louis XV style".
I'm not sure what those things are with the clothespins, but it looks like if you hang one over the line, you could feed a clothes hanger through the 2 halves, or maybe one side fits through the other end, since they seem to be 2 different shapes. I wonder if you can do a google image search? Now I'm intrigued! The hall tree is lovely💖
Hey y'all! I found photos showing how those extra bits are used with the clothespins! They were right there on the IKEA website all along. 😅 I posted the photos in the "community" section of our UA-cam page here. They allow you to hang things from any kind of rod or pole, or to hang an extra row of things from a hanging rack, lower than the rest, so you can fit more things.
The town is so cute!!! I just went to TX for the first time ever in July and now hoping to go to France first time ever. Sent you an email. Ty for the info! I love all the great flowers also and the new stove!
It took you 23 hours to get there? O M G! That would poop anybody out!!! Glad you're feeling more at home, in spite of it sounding like the garbage men are running up your stairs!!!
It takes longer than 23 hours just in flying time from Australia! Mind you we empathise with the tiredness and envy those those can fly in and out for short stays. If flying to France the minimum I would stay would be 4 plus weeks to get over jet lag and make use of the time and money it takes to get there. It becomes a special trip for most Australians.
You know you can get a direct train to Tours - a fast train directly from the CDG airport right? It takes maybe 2.5 hours. From Tours I guess you could rent a car or train to amboise? But 23 hours, oh la la!!! I fly from Houston direct to Paris (8 hours) on Air France and take the train to Poitiers. Where I can either rent a car, Uber or catch a train to Montmorillon.
Yeah, so add up the total time *door to door* - from when you leave your house to go to the airport, to when you arrive at your house in France, including all the time waiting at the airport, between trains, etc. That's why it took 23 hours.
Don't forget your local taxes are coming up in a few weeks. Taxe foncière is different to d'habitation both are payable on second homes. Don't miss the end dates whatever you do! ;) I know from experience!
The water was turned back on the next morning. It was then, while running the water and not getting any hot water, that I realized that the water was not being heated. Sorry if that was unclear. Thanks for watching!
Merci for sharing your return to Amboise, I thoroughly enjoy your content. Hope Patrick can fix the table. Love views of the town.

No worries. They're not demons, just wild and fantastic animals.
Absolutely gorgeous finds! You have good taste!
Your new Home 🏡 in France 🇫🇷 so Unique so much character !I Love 💗 it

I am so excited you are back in France ! Absolutely love your videos and your fabulous house. No ! Absolutely no garbage men breaking into my house either at 6 am lol..
Treasures from the auction. Wow the hall tree is wonderful.
I know, what a find, right? I can't wait to set it up and start using it! Thanks for watching. 😊

15:28 Don't be discouraged. If you hadn't done the work in June the whole garden would have been weeds 6' high by now.
I miss Amboise - so nice to see you back wandering the streets. Sorry about all the weeds wow.
I can't believe how quickly and vigorously the weeds reestablished themselves! It looks like we didn't do anything at all. 😅
Welcome back to France. Lucky you. Love your new stove❤️
Merci! I do feel quite lucky to be here. Thanks for watching!

Interesting... That might be it! Isn't it funny how things that are so commonplace and ordinary here can be completely mystifying to a foreigner. 😂

👍♥️
Let us know if you find out for sure! Maybe your neighbor knows!

Wow 🤩 so exciting a Smeg Cooker Yay !
Love your local market. I also like the small town vibes.
It's a lovely town - the right size, with everything you need, but with a great small town vibe! 😊 Thanks for watching.
You are a great Antique hunter you have exquisite taste
The passion flower needs a rod iron Arch to climb on !Hibiscus is gorgeous

Just gunna mention. The water heater, boiler cannot heat water if there is no water.
The water was turned back on the next morning. It was then, while running the water and not getting any hot water, that I realized that the water was not being heated. Sorry if that was unclear. Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤❤
Hm , the boiler pressure was on 0, so no water or very little.
Yes, I had figured that out. I just didn't know which lever to turn to fix it. Thanks for watching! 😊
