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....

@@gailcraig4495that was my thought. Butter and a little ice with drain holes.

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 💕

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!

Stephanie, No words to express the sweetness of life that is you & your mother, your examples of beauty are on so many levels-

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 :)

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.

"Back to the Brocante" - I see another Chateau web series! I love a good treasure hunt, even if it's lived vicariously! Thanks for these! The Thanksgiving table set-up looked gorgeous, the sweet new tea set was lovely and I'm looking forward to learning all about French cheese!

A particularly lovely episode, shopping with your mum, one of life’s simple pleasures. It reminded me of my lovely mum and when we used to enjoy doing the same thing😁 sadly she’s no longer here to do it, but enjoy every moment you both spend together, precious moments. Loved this episode 😁💜💜 The table looked beautiful, this was a genuine pleasure to watch.😁

where is handsome cheese man!! He was bold 😜

How delightful! I feel like I've been with kindred spirit friends on a lovely, productive ramble! Thank you for inviting us!

Asparagus plate keeps it warm without getting soggy, brilliant!

It is so very good that your day at the brocante is thousands of miles away from Canada. I would have lost my reason today had I been with you and mummy and bought all sorts of lovely bits and pieces that I do not remotely need but could not have done without. Your table setting is stunning. Vicarious thrills, chair side shopping and, as a result, extremely easy on the pocketbook. Delightful. More, please, in the future!

It's kind of shocking, in a marvelous way, to see all those treasures in one spot..very unusual--maybe not for France though! I'll have to wear a bib for all the drooling next time! :P

As a reseller, I love and appreciate your visits to the brocantes. Were I to visit, much of my time would be spent scouring the shelves of the local thrift shops and antiques stores.

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" !!! 🙏🏻💗⚜️💜🏰💜⚜️💗🙏🏻

Stephanie in that hat is why we love her haha

The coffee pot with the wheat painting could be barley, as traditionally we can have a really nice barley drink instead of coffee.

What a fabulous thrift shop! What a great haul! Have you considered installing/using a picture rail to hang pictures from, thereby sparing that exquisite wallpaper from damage?

I also love what you find and most of all this weeks hat. i used to buy a hat when feeling low, for special occasions in fact when i got married i had over 100 . but when i had my daughter she used to wear them. But with in a year i had only 1 that hadn't been damaged lost or too bad for me to wear out in public. the hat today remaindered me of one i remade for a posh do. but my daughter loved it more and she cut it up for all her dolls. thank you for a memory over 25 years ago. bless you and your mother. my mother and i got on so well together , but sadly i lost her in October and apart from my honeymoon and 8 months give or take we had every day together. enjoy every moment.

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 thought it would have been a nice addition for the room that has her father's earlier medieval-style paintings (though I've forgotten which in the Chateau it is)! But moderation in all things . . . and if it's there if Stephanie makes a return trip, then perhaps it was meant to be!

Congratulations on reaching €21,000 on Patreon!!

Perfect picture for that room!! Loved the shopping.

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!

The hat... such a practical purchase. It could go for a wedding, Ascot, and a bee keepers hat!

The treasure that is Stephanie and Isabelle's relationship is pearl of great price. To see the two of them enjoy each other's company so thoroughly is a complete joy to me. Thanks once again ladies for this beautiful glimpse of your lives.
