    It’s for “Asperges”! Asparagus need to be drain after being poached and to keep them out of the excess water they have that kind of dish! I LOVE this Emmaus trip. My next travel to France I will go over there and get a container full of stuff to redecorate my home in Chile 😂 low key I’m actually contemplating it. Merci de me faire rêver, est avant tout de me donner les force de réaliser certaine folie 💕

    Stephanie, An idea so we can all enjoy your shopping too. Open an Etsy account with the items you would like to buy but either already have too much or just don't need that item, or Mummy said "no" ;-). You can call it The La Lande Gift Shop. Add the local honey that you had in an episode and we can all have a piece of your shopping trips!

    Bonjour,
    Le plat creux avec le couvercle qui a des trous est un plat à asperges. Quand on pose les asperges sur le couvercle, l'excédent d'eau des asperges coulent pas les trous. Ainsi les asperges ne baignent pas dans l'eau :)

    THREE-Hole Platter: have seen those used to serve oysters, shrimp and fish on a thin bed of ice. The holes allow the ice to melt below the food so it doesn't get soggy....LOVE the hat! - it's a tornado of exploding mosquito netting!

      PussyGalore oysters 🦪 are classically served on oyster plates.
      Unless served Bistro style.
      I’m sure you could put a thin layer of ice then place fish or shrimp- but when the dish was made- the ice would still have gone under the insert. Think Victorian dinner services....

    Not many people can understand our love, and dare I say, obsession with setting a beautiful table and using our china.
    When my mother was a child during the depression in the deep south, (Louisiana) she would babysit for pennies, then walk into town, ( shoeless!) She would then put her change towards the family china pattern for her mother. There were times when those plates were empty but there was beauty and hope. Aesthetics are so important to the quality of our lives.

      My mother’s story was similar. She came from extreme poverty. Once she started moving upward she collected old china plate by plate and quilts. I thought of her as I watched this vlog. She collected enough sets to leave a unique set to each of her granddaughters.

    What I love about shopping trips like these: 1- We get to browse charity shops in France! 2- The hunt for a bargain is intoxicating. 3- Bonding with those you love, be it family, friends, guests, etc. is heartwarming. 4- Running home to display your treasures and feather your nest is essential. 5- Basking in the beauty you created completes the shopping experience. And it shows us how we can beautify our own homes without breaking the bank! Just perfect!

      @@LibertinaUno Battenb e rg changed to Mountbatten and Sachsen Coburg-Gotha to Windsor because WWI. But these German countries are situated in Thuringia, not in Saxony. Meissen is near by Dresden, the former "Churfürstentum Sachsen". The onion-pattern by Meissen is one of the earliest they created, ca.1725. It is influenced by old Chinese patterns. The "onions" that are pommes de granat. But the Germans in this time didn´t know because it was a very luxerious and exotic fruit. You can order this pattern still today. It´s always handpainted and very succesfull.

    What fun this was and what great finds! You hit jackpot all the way around. Not that you don’t have enough on your plate(s) already, but I second one of the previous comments...Back to the Brocante would be a fabulous new channel. Forget the Home Shopping Network!

    Well I feel I was with you both at the brocante. I too love to dress my table with china from charity shops and have some beautiful table cloths and napkin. Last year I was so lucky to find to tall candle sticks with 5 branches on each for the candles, they really looked the part at Christmas with navy blue candles. The table cloth again from the charity shop was a gold brocade and the runner was a deeper gold with a beaded tassel either end. Its amazing what you can find for so little, and I agree with you Stephanie that you find what you want and the money goes to a cause which is a win win situation for everyone. Not to mention that its recycling at its best. 95% of what I own comes from charity shops: from homeware to clothes and everything in between. Its amazing what you can find and what people get rid of. And I adore the hat I would have bought it too.....too fabulous to pass up! Lol!! We too dress up for special occasions, seasonal parties. No one know what to expect lol!! Take care, looking forward to the next vlog xx

    I would have purchased the book with slides, found a bare wall somewhere and projected the image of one of the slides onto the wall. Then attempted to paint the scene. Ive seen this done to great effect. Maybe not to Oliver's standard - but great fun to attempt.

    Love it when you go thrifting. Oh, if only there were treasures to be found like that in Iowa. I was thinking, you mentioned once there was an unfinished room on the other side of the kitchen, why not turn that, or at least part of it into a large pantry / china storage room. Now that Selmar has more tools. perhaps he could build it.
    Also, we are all curious if Selmar is now on the payroll, surely he isn't volunteering all that labor and time.

    What an exciting adventure to take us along on! The Brocante shops in France are tremendous, such wonderful finds to be had. Loved that you did it with Mummy, such a coalition of taste, and don't even get me started on the porcelain dinnerware. It's my passion and drives my joy and I don't have a clue as to why its mesmerized me so from an early age. Yes, its beauty of course, but the joy that happens when seeing a beautiful tablescape is off the charts. Would love to see a weekly Brocante forage!

    Wonderful! What an exciting adventure to visit the Limoge Broucante! Your finds were amazing. The gorgeous porcelains, books, perfect print, and la piêce de resistance, la Coiffe! It will be all the rage, I can see it now! It reminds me of something worn in Frederico Fellini's "Juliette of the Spirits," or the base of a hat from America in the 1890s, or something worn by The Gibson Girl! That hat is "just the ticket" !!!

    Hello from Australie! I was always told the little 3 hole under plate was to allow the juices of the meat to be collected so your joint of meat was not swimming in juice. Then you can add to a sauce or gravy?

    The piece you thought would be nice hiding a bottle of Brandy in a gentleman's room, I thought would be perfect for Marie Wiik to have an Autumnal, or perhaps a dried arrangement in. The lid would sit right next to the vessel.
