    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 14 днів тому

      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.

I’m sure the happy memories were flooding back. I absolutely love your aunt and uncle! They are the cutest couple and are always happy and upbeat! I always watch your videos at night when I’m winding down and they bring me such happiness! Thanks for a sneak peek into your life! 😊

      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 14 днів тому +3

    My grandmother lived near Chambéry. 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 14 днів тому

      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!

      @kindlydude 12 днів тому

      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.

    WOW! That brocante was huge! So many lovely things. The pretty art nouveau screen would have been great at Steven and Sarah's chateau dining room. I wonder if they saw your vlog? I'm so happy to see your aunt and uncle again. You have such a wonderful family, Stephanie. I hope you get a chance to go back and visit again soon. I always enjoy your brocante adventures. We don't have anything older than the mid 1700s here in the Mississippi valley. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Safe travels to you as you head home to Lalande. ❤

    Beautiful town. Lancelot socializing is so cute. Great seeing your Aunt and Uncle again! Sorry for the sadness visiting your family home. I went through the same thing this week seeing where my mom passed.

    I went through Beziers in the 70's. It can get very hot there. The brocante looked very interesting. Enjoy your time in your Grandma's house. Soak her love up like a sponge. I bet she would be so happy to see you return. Have a lovely time. 🥰

    I spent all my childhood summers in Pezenas and nearby Florensac, was thrilled to see you there! Such a wonderful place, had a beautiful shop that made beads and we used to spend our pocket money buying all the different kinds and then making our own bracelets
