Stephanie describing Philip making a beeline for brocante treasures "And he's off like a ferret up a drain pipe" 😂😂😂 Stéphanie, you really crack me up !

Its fun when you can enjoy the beauty in all you see and spend nothing...

Europe has so many antique shops with beautiful things. My hear starts to beat faster when you enter the store so I can just imagine how you and Philip feel. Can't wipe the smile off of his face lol

I love the banter between Phillip and Stephanie; they compliment each other so easily ❤

When Stephanie heard the church bells and she sang "🎼 Fi-ga-ro...Fi-ga-ro🎵"......I heard "🎼Three Blind Mice....Three Blind Mice🎶".....😂🤣😂😁

The dog in the painting is a phalene, the Royal breed of Louis XIV of France, the sun king. He loved them so much that he declared that all phalenes born in France were his and it was for him to decide who would be the masters of the new puppies...Louis XV had them and Marie-Antoinette had one that followed the Queen to her last prison on Ile de la cite and sat outside her window until it's demise, never realizing that she had died, much like all the dogs around the world that sit by their masters grave.

Marie is so sweet, and she has such a lovely laugh! xo

This was a treat! Shopping, eating, antiques, architecture, cute Pupette, and friends.

Good to see Marie again!

It is good to see you two so happy❣Marie is such a wonderful person. 💕

Marie really loves her dog. She always has him wherever she goes. You can just sense Marie truly a sincere and genuine person.

I love when you shop together - not only to see the beautiful items, but your conversation is always delightful

Delightful to awaken and watch friends enjoying a break in Belgium x

I had so much fun looking at the Murano chandeliers in the first shop you visited. My husband watches sports while i watch your vlog on my computer with headphones. When you first walked into the shop I actually shouted out "BUY IT!" And, then I saw chandelier after chandelier and thought "If I only had one I could afford I absolutely couldn't make up my mind. Each is more beautiful than the next." Nick's wife is so charming and if I remember correctly you mentioned that she is brilliant and has a high level job. Would you be able to do an interview with her some day if she would be comfortable? Yet another city to explore-Istanbul, now Brussels.

I could not stop smiling throughout this episode. You made my day ... again. Merci.

Heehee....when the clock chimed Stephanie said everyone was humming Figaro....I was humming Three Blind Mice 🙃

The shopping trip was hilarious. It reminds me of my outings with my husband and hearing him say “step away from the crystal”.

Those shop are to die for

Thank you for including us in the trip ❤😊❤😊

Whenever you go to flea markets or antique shows, I pick put things I would buy. It's so fun.

It’s really wonderful seeing the world through your videos, thank you so much 😊🐨🦘🇦🇺❤️

"70's cheese and pineapple on sticks" made me giggle!

You brought me back to the times when I had spent hours and hours walking through this market. It seems nothing has changed.

Fun to watch you exploring, and I would be overwhelmed too. I loved the consistent "we don't need it."

Loved Brussels with you all...the food looked yummy, the brocante was breathtaking...thanks so much...

love antiquing ❤

Thank you for showing all these beautiful things!

Always lovely to see Marie! The Murano was breathtaking and such a pleasure to see the market through eyes and with your combined knowledge.

What a lovely trip to Belgium and thankyou for bringing us along. I could taste that chocolat! 😋😋😋

I’m really into to using smaller wine glasses these days and love the antique glasses just because of how they look and the fact you end up with a smaller amount of wine. If you’re pacing yourself, you can always refill.

Lovely to see the beautiful Marie & tag along with you to all the shops in Brussels. Loved the 💗Pink Limoge dish set, but €650 is a bit dear for me😳. Like Philip, I adore dishes. He's blessed to have found Stephanie❣️ They suit each other so well. ⚜️Château LaLande gives him a canvas to showcase his passion for fine things & entertaining too🥂. The first time I went to Australia🇦🇺 on holiday, I was shocked😵 at the high cost of antiques as well as used books📚. It convinced me that vintage was more my speed. 😬My nostalgia for mass produced items of the 20th Century might be a reflection of my lowly birth, but I make no apologies for my sentimentality. I'd happily take the 🤎brown & white🤍 toile dish sets they used to give away at the grocery store w/purchase during my childhood. They'd be pretty on a 🍂Fall table. Let alone ❤cranberry & white🤍 toile that you can find at the local superstore nowadays. They would be special on a Christmas🎄table. 🔨Actually, I'd rather hang up porcelain toile plates & platters to enjoy as art 🖼. 🍽More of a minimalist when it comes to pattern for my actual plates & bowls. 🤫Let the food be the 👁👁focus. Serving pieces & linens can have more ✨️personality✨️. 🤔Hmm. Are we going to see Kat & Dan in London? Michael Petherick? Oliver? Selmar? Pavlina? What's the old saying? Curiosity killed the cat🙀, but satisfaction brought it back😺. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Ooo nothing like a great flea market!❤

I love Brussels. I was in chandelier heaven and the market was incredible. I admire your will power as I could've purchased so many items. The chocolate & waffles are the best.❤🍫

Beautiful antique market! I would be hauling a truck load of things back to the U.S. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Philip, I purchased a wonderful little carved cork fantasy scene a few years ago. Everyone one who sees, it loves it. They're just so intricate and delicate. The Murano chandeliers are wonderful. Poor Marie. She was wise to escape early. Wise choice on the cache pot. It wasn't amazing and was too expensive. The poodle painting should have been €15. I didn't realize the Europeans were into uranium glass too. It was popular here in the US. It is a lovely shade of green. The Cristal d'Arc is a great buy. Years ago I purchased loads of it at Target. It was pretty reasonable and practical for crystal of that quality. Wise buy. The pink Limoges porcelain was a good sized set, but it wasn't amazing. Too high for Evesham. I've collected the pattern for 30 years. You were wise to pass. You understate what an absolute monster Leopold was. Great day out in Brussels. ❤ from TX!

" a thimble of wine...".LOL Thank you.

So many beautiful things! Thank you for taking us along. Delighted to see Marie. ❤

I love Marie’s laugh ❤and I love this channel ❤❤

Merci beaucoup pour cette belle visite

Wow, that was quite the outing! I saw so many things and once again, my taste was too expensive for my wallet. That 13 thousand green China cabinet was my most favorite, but I would like it better without the flowers. Great score on the glasses. That fish and chips looked to die for! Oh well, I will just have to settle for my spinach salad. Cheers to you all.❤

New subscriber and I just LOVE Stephanie and Phillip. My new very favorite channel. Can’t believe I just found you.

I’m so glad to see you all thriving and enjoying, as you said, your best life

Oh yumm, just love battered fish and chips. My son in law goes fishing, Monday night we had fresh caught fish (Pearl Perch and Red Throat Emperor) and squid all battered with some chips. It was super delicious. Oh I’m in Australia…

That was fun, thanks!

RE Uranium glass, I was watching a video about it recently and they recommended against using Uranium glass with acidic liquids such as wine.

Yes Stephanie, it is overwhelming. So many items! The prices are the only thing that can keep someone from buy everytthing there is in the fleemarket. ❤

Nick we all know you look like 🫅🏻or on an off day like 👨🏼‍🌾. So your cover is up. Fun video!!

Even if you do not buy, we like to look too!

How fun! Always love seeing Marie! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

That was fun!

I went to Bruxelles years ago but didn't know there were such amazing flea markets and antiques stores! WOW! What a fun place to treasure hunt. Plus it's always so lovely to see Marie, Nick and famille 🥰🤗😘

What a great thrift stores and out door market, thanks for sharing.

I could not believe that i was at all of those exact places when i went to visit my parents in oct! I saw the chandeliers in the shop and thought that you would love them and here you are a few months later! Amazing

A great day out ❤

You 2 ROCK dear Phil and Stef 🎉❤🎉

Thank You for Taking us on your Trip, Loved it , Great to see Maria Again 👌👍👏👏👏💕💕💕💕

I love going on these trips! Thank you.

So nice to see Nick and Marie. Thank you Philip and Stephanie for another lovely video. I loved seeing the Morano chandeliers.

Oh la la la la la la la la la that was some Chocolate eggs, for easter? That antiques shop looks as if it has magnificent items and I love that mirror with the swallows on the telephone wire. Thise Murano chandeliers are also quite splendid looking. I love the dolphin one

I really, really enjoyed ‘shopping’ in the flea market - in my mind I ‘bought’ loads of bargains!!

I love the videos of you two shopping! As I don't get to do much of that myself, it's fun to see it through your eyes and see your happiness at all the purchases you find. Please more like this! 💙

Philip could never own a bracante, he would never want to let anything go! Its lovely seeing all the beautiful things , I can understand Philip lusting over them!

I disagree. Philip is a designer. He would find places/homes for the treasures. Some one can love it as well as you! He has a great influence on people in regard to setting a gracious table or designing a room. He does and would with his own business. After a time, you can only collect so much! He would be wonderful finding things for others and sharing his love of design. Did you know he has a shop at the chateau?

Im shocked at £13,000 for a green cabinet. You both look amazing. Xx

And now I have seen a smidgen of Brussels!! What a WONDERFUL place!!!! Thank YOU SO MUCH everyone!!!!

What a fun trip. All the good choices for your lunch looked yummy.

i love shopping with you; so many wonderful things to see.❤ i love the cheese mouse.

The plate looks great

So many holidays and shopping this year!

So much to look at, antiquing looks like fun. Only thing missing in Belgium is SABENA.

Especially liked this adventure. 🙂

Stephanie and Philip in the antique shop being litle children in the candy shop :-)

Wow! What a beautiful day🎉 Amazing brocante stores with stunning pièces. I was delighted! 😳

Such amazing treasures. Watching those two shop reminds me of a child and thier Mom. Actually it reminds me of me with my Mom 😄

Love Brussels. Lost all my photo, need to go back and get more……and waffles…….and chocolate 😊

I liked the dog painting too!! It would look nice in the bedroom you just revealed to us with the view of the chapel!

It such a thrill to watch genuinely happy people in this time! Thank you for the privilege!

The antique market was wonderful. Thank God you did not buy radioactive glass wear. Years ago people used x-rays in their living room as entertainment, but was seriously damaging. Radiation is not for entertainment, no matter what the source.

Oh another lovely time to be brought along with you all. Thank you! Stephanie I had to push rewind a few times, you made me laugh with, “What have they done to Thor?”😂 Marie, Philip, Stephanie and Nick it was delightful.

That was so much fun and it was exciting to see Marie in her town which is so beautiful

You guys can never say life is boring ❤

Good to see your joy visiting the market ! And also being engage is such a positive feeling (I remember mine) 😅. At the market it is difficult to resist to such beautiful things...This market is very expensive I know but it needs a visit. I wish you a good rest in London and a good return to Lalande ❤

This was such a treat to watch. Loved every second of it. The flea market looks amazing. I am going to Brussels in September and I can't wait to go now. Thanks so much for sharing your walkabout and also interesting information about the various items you saw. 😊

I remember the times when Isabelle had to stop Stephanie from shopping, now Stephanie has to stop Philip. I wonder if Isabelle is relieved or twice as worried watching 😂 having access to all of these beautiful things i would need someone stopping me 😊

I can’t believe I missed you at Gare de Midi.😮We were there at the same time.😅I would have loved to bump in to you there and invite you to my home in Waterloo. I was the one who gave you the yellow cotton bucket hat☺️

So wonderful to shop with you both,

The cross looking zebra reminded me of Scotman, and I hope you have time to see Kat in England. What luck that the flea market was held that w/end. Or did they know Phillip was coming? Commendably restrained purchasing. Well done.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I love to see this couple having fun and be so happy. Congrats 🎊 on your engagement. Lovely people

Really enjoyed this, thank you

So enjoying our trip to the markets today, if I went to the Antique shop I would be there for hours, the chandeliers were stunning. Bargain on the glasses. Lunch looked delicious! X Anna

Omg Stephanie and PHILLIP U SURE FEASTED UR EYES ON EXTRAVAGANT CHANDELIERS 😂 JUST TOO MUCH €€€€😮 ???the fleamarket was great but too much too much to see on even one table. Alot of WOW ITEMS. SOME FAR TOO EXPRNSIVE. I THINK U COULD GET NEGOTIATIONS OR BARTER PRICES. NEXT TIME PHILLIP CAN BRING A BACKPACK AND A LITTLE CART AND HE CAN FILL IT....HE HAS VERY EXCELLENT TASTE. IN HIS TABLE WARE SETUP DESIGNS. GLAD U LIKED MASTRICHT IN NL. I NEVER GOT TO THAT CITY OR BRAYBANDT WHERE THE BIG GOTHIC CATHEDRAL IS. I WAS IN A HUGE CATHEDRAL IN BRUSSELS. AND HOUSES IF PARLIAMENT AND SAT IN A SENATORS CHAIR 😂😊

I think Phillip qualifies as highly marriageable just because he is such a terrifically wonderful shopper! Such a treat in a man!

We love going to flea markets in Belgium and usually plan our trip around any that are going to be held. The giant one in Bruges twice a year, I think, is amazing if you look passed all the tat you can get some good bargains. We got some lovely items at flea markets held in small towns along the coast.

This was fantastic! Love the flea markets!

Enjoyed the view

That was all so wonderful, thank you so much for sharing this joy! 🫶💞🫶
