    I agree with you, Stephanie, a little piece of history in a brush mark on a carafe, a teacup or an ancient Grecian urn. It brings us back to the simpler times and beauty.

    17:05 In fact, things haven’t changed so much: most people can still only dream of visiting far away places. This is perhaps part of why channels such as these are so beloved - they provide a window into other worlds, other types of lives, past and present.❤

      I agree, she knows a lot of history and is able to describe what seem to be insignificant things and make them exciting. I believe it’s why her channel has succeeded while others have not. Keep it up Stephanie you are entertaining, encouraging, positive, and full of, interesting tidbits of knowledge.

I’ve done the brocante last Sunday too but probably you were there earlier than me. Fingers crossed, next time 🤞💓 And I also wanted to say that you could be the proudest piscenoise (this is how locals are called) cause the town is unfortunately losing it’s charm due to life standards going down and the careless attitude of people towards many aspects. Also the local artisans are struggling making ends meet. I do hope that the situation can change for the better.
