Hello, I believe the brass wall mirror that opened, wasn’t a hair brush, but a coat brush and shoe brush, which it hangs on the wall, usually for last minute brush of the suit. 💗💗

Yes & the fact that they are still all together is amazing!

My eyes hurt from looking at all the wonderful places and things you saw, I didn’t blink at all. What wonderful experiences you are creating.

Brandy! They're St Bernhards, that's the joke. The brandy is for the people they rescue. Grab that Gouda pottery!!!

At 26:15 you showed a “dude with an umbrella inside”. That’s originally a painting from the German artist Carl Spitzweg which is called Der arme Poet (The poor poet). It hangs in Munich and was created in 1839.

Laura, how are you the nicest, most genuine KZreadr ever? 😊 Hanging out in a market with you would be an enablers dream! This series was great fun

We're back in the U.S. now, but we spent 2 years in Belgium and 8 years in England, back when my husband was in the Army. I went to flea markets all over the Belgium, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and France. I MISS THOSE DAYS so much!

How amazing! Such great memories to have 😍

I live in France and bought the exact same lucite paper clip in a beautiful light green for 2 euros on a garage sale. I love it ❤ the beautiful wooden box Says « Souvenirs d’artillerie Anvers » and at the back the name was certainly Arthur Dupont (very common name) most likely a box he made to put his souvenirs from time spent at war or in the army. Soldier also used to make some in the trenches. But if made between 1900-1910 it is most likely made during his time during the army as WWI only started in 1914

Belgian draft horses are native. The great work horses. Most famous of the work horses.

@@mssmarty5146yes but it is just a myth and was not true, a fotografer as a joke put the barrel on the dog and that’s where it started but if it would have been for real like that the rescued people would have died even quicker because the alcohol would have dialated the blood vessels even more and they would have frozen to death even faster

OMG!!! You put me back in time. I was in Belgium in 1997 and loved every marketplace. That and the outside coffee places were my favorite things to do. I was happy in Belgium. I have gorgeous pictures in Brugge.

I love your videos, but this Belgium series was extra special! What an amazing trip.

Laura, what you know as Tramp Art is typical of early twentieth century handcrafts in Northern Europe. Chip carving, the notched layered wood. Crafts that were made in the winter when farm work was quiet.

Oh gosh. Having to walk away from such amazing pieces because of space would be killer. It’s like good stuff heaven!

It’s like candy land. So many goodies. Thank you for sharing.

Laura, If this doesn't convince you to fill a shipping container next time you go, I'll go with and help you fill it! I wanted to fill a container on my trip to Italy this fall- so many treasures I had to leave behind (my suitcases were packed though). I love your enthusiasm and awe, the beauty is mind-blowing!

I am in the process of planning a trip to Europe next summer and have Brugge and Amsterdam in mind. I was there over 25 yrs ago, but now that I have seen this video I will be doing a lot more research.

Love trench art! I used my trench art collection as vases for my husband's retirement ceremony. He retired from the Army after 30 years of service so I thought TA vases were appropriate decor for a military retirement. Oh and dang it! You are ruining my New Years resolution. I swore I wasn't going to go flea marketing until I cleared out some of my treasures that don't have a home. Sigh...looks like a trip to Belgium is in my future.

Loved the gold ashtrays they would go perfect in my living room. Also loved the gold framed painting with the houses.

Argh. I think I need to move to Bruges, or at least a place so I could get all the big heavy pieces😂 So fun! Thanks for taking us along!

Really great stuff! Beautiful old buildings and architecture. It’s fun to see the places I don’t know that much about (and at my age, I know I’ll never get to). You are really going to be the next “Rick Steves”flea market chick. With your own unique vibe and style! I am so happy for you to see how far you’ve come and where you’re going.

Love the trench art vases had poppies… a symbol of remembrance. Thank you Laura, husband proposed in Bruges. I was so excited that night I couldn’t eat. We went back twenty years later in July 2023. I ate then!

The flea market was so FANTASTIC!

This was absolutely amazing. What an amazing market. Thanks so much for taking us along it was just the best🥰

I gasped at all the Bitosi pottery ! 😍 I have a piece myself. I've had it for years, and until I started watching you, didn't know what it was. If I remember correctly it was given to me by a friend. Belgium is a beautiful country.

When I lived in Germany we went to flea markets every Saturday. So much fun. One year I was into pewter and the next into porcelon and English tins etc

Fantastic Merry Christmas and Best wishes for 2024 ❤ If I remember correctly the dogs are Saint Bernards and they was used as rescue dogs and they carried Brandy to help revive people who needed rescuing , that’s what I was always told anyway 😁

@@leftcoastrevivalscheck my explanation of the dog art ❤

The 'dude' lying on his bed with the umbrella above him is a copy of a painting by Carl Spitzweg called the Poor Poet.

The brushes are for a man’s personal servant, a valet to use. One to polish his shoes and one to brush lint and stuff off his suit. Saint Bernards are bred in Switzerland to rescue people in the alps. Their bodies and a flask of brandy to warm people that they search and find. Swiss and Austrians ski daily,even more so in the past for transportation

You just, continue to amaze me. I've loved watching you grow in so many ways.

I have a large pair of vases our dad made for my mum out of artillery shells from before 1938 when he was training in the British Army. I was only able to get to a couple of markets while in Paris and Strasbourg since I was not there on the big market days. I am definitely going back to Bruges and will make sure I am there on a market day. Love these videos.

Shopping vicariously through our West Coast giiirl. She has shown me to shop/thrift “intentionally”. I hope that comes across as a huge compliment, which is my precise “intention”…see what I did there?! My goodness what a treat to watch this vid ♥️♥️♥️

The dogs are St Bernard s …rescue dogs in the mountains and carry a barrel of cognac around their necks

In Piedmont, Italy, where I lived for a year, they had this flea market in the street one Sunday a month, each Sunday they had it in a different town. Amazing things from long ago with good prices. Love from Galicia, Spain.

Great items for sale and even better scenery - thank you

Min 5:00, two beautiful vases by "Strehla", East German Pottery, probably late 60s, early 70s. Nice! Strehla have some amazing varieties and decors and they don't have to hide from the classis West German Pottery ;)

Love, Love, Love your traveling Videos ❤

Hi Laura, all your videos have been so inspiring that I have started to thrift again in our new home in Spain.
