    I love the biggest bowl. Sometimes getting things to appreciate their aesthetic beauty rather than their practical function is the way to go.

      Yes I know! Our house is starting to get pretty filled with “pretty things to look at” 😉 but they bring their touch to the overall experience of feeling at home and having a beautiful space to live in!

      I love fine bone China dinnerware. I’m not a earthenware person. So as the earthenware is very much in keeping with the simple French country style you love and use everywhere, I would love my coffee or tea in a China mug. I keep a whole mug tree of China mugs on my counter.😊

    great finds. My favorite item you bought is the large deep bowl that would make a great bird bath with a solar fountain in it. I put one of those solar fountains you find on Amazon in mine and it looks and works fantastic (Just have to keep filling up the water like any bird bath.) Some of the birds shower under it. So cute to watch. I think the solar fountain cost me around twenty five dollars and it works great on sunny days and floats on the water. I saw a few things I liked on your treasure hunt. There was this little brown jug with glazed dark blue flowers on it. I think you picked it up to look at. I thought it would make a lovely vase with dried twigs, flowers or a bunch of wheat from the fields cut short. I always love going on your treasure hunts. You found some beautiful items. My weakness is hand woven baskets. I roll up my white guest hand towels and place them in it, then set it on the counter or table in their bathroom.

    I loved that berry bowl you picked up and filmed, especially since it had the little feet on it. I would have purchased it. I always say I could buy loads of things in a place like this. The large basin you got is my favorite - I would put face cloths or hand towels in it for a washroom. It's amazing! I am actually shocked no one wanted it! It would actually fit perfectly in my home for it's colour and my style.

    I love all your haul, especially the two bowls. The grey salt glaze is gorgeous too. I think I would have also bought the bottle basket earlier in the video….and to be truthful, a lot of other things as well. I definitely buy things I love that are “too good to leave” as you do.

    I equally love all the pieces you bought. I like your idea of using the wash basin outdoors for a bird bath or something. I also liked the sewing machine and the little port glass you picked up but would have passed on them too.

    So happy to have found your channel! I love the small crock that you purchased. Simple and well made design. I am interested in viewing more of your videos to find out where you are from originally and possibly see your decorated home. I live in Indiana in the U.S. and I have never been to France, but I love the country style. ❤

  • @michignamymichigan
    @michignamymichigan Рік тому

    I like the washbowl, and the other one looks like a wonderful fruit bowl. The pitcher is surprisingly usable, not crazed. The style is beautiful. Salt glazed pieces like the crock are hard to find without damage. The marks make it extra gorgeous. The large plate is the best. It is beautiful and useful. I, too, love the green design. Thank you for sharing.

  • @jeanmariemclain2836
    @jeanmariemclain2836 Рік тому +1

    Everything you got was nice, but my favorite is the little stoneware pitcher. Such a graceful and classic shape. I’d fill it with a handful of little French (or USA!) flags for a colorful display. Also, there were two paintings on the end of the row of framed art you showed near the beginning of the video. I saw a set of two sepia-toned landscapes with matching frames. Very moody. I’d have looked twice at them! Lovely day.

    I love it all, but especially the biggest bowl. It would be great for putting a large salad on the table or you could even drill a hole in the bottom and use it as a sink basin in bathroom renovation.

  • @maryannrecht7605
    @maryannrecht7605 Рік тому

    Great buys! I liked the shapes especially of the pottery jar with the markings. Your idea for the large bowl with a rock in it for watering the birds is brilliant. I'm going to try that myself as I'm in a condo that does not allow bird feeders but this would work perfectly to attract our little friends.

    Whatever I need I look forst at Emmaus. I often buy bedding and large poster frames to cut down the glass for smaller old frames that I also binge buy there. They have great clothes and furniture and I have quite a few pieces like my antique Marocain table, a carved folding screen, a bedside table to match a huge wardrobe from a Troc and some chairs. My beautiful circular kitchen table on oak with foId out leaves that seats 6 people was 20 euros. t's also a great place to give extra stuff to.

  • @Good-DaySunshine
    @Good-DaySunshine Рік тому

    I'm so glad you kept that first piece- looks like salt-glaze but I couldn't quite tell the true color. Salt Glazing pottery began in Germany around 1400. It spread across Europe & was brought to the US in the 1600's. In the USA it was found everywhere from mid 17th to 19th centurys. I saw a lot of Longchamp vintage. People here pay a good price for it here, so if you do decide to pass anything along (sell it) I hope you sell on Etsy. Usually crazed, cracked, chipped or any piece that is scratched into the design doesn't sell well here. Anyway I loved everything you bought. The green decorated big bowl is lovely! I can only find other pieces to match your green that are blue decoration! I don't know why unless there weren't very many made in green. I saw a tray(?) standing on end that looked like a town scene was etched on. The church steeple was seen plainly but the rest hidden. That's something that would be interesting to see! 💖

  • @glendadegraaf8732
    @glendadegraaf8732 Рік тому

    I love your aesthetic, Marloes! Everything you find has such a simple, understated elegance. Although I love the slanted bowl, the pitcher is something almost identical to one we have and use everyday at meal time for water. Looking at all the really old beautiful pieces you can find on your thrifting expeditions is so fun because we really dont have much like that here in Canada. Too young of a country, I guess. Lots of vintage though. Greetings! Its warmed up somewhat here. 😃👋🇨🇦

This just proves that we can NEVER go shopping together as there would be tension!!! Just kidding! I also adore all the wonderful cotton and linen sheets that one can find at Emmaus and hauled abotu 11 of them home on my last trip!!! Any trip to the thrift store tends to be a surprise! Great shopping day!
