May I suggest that you add labels to the back of the pieces so future you (and future generations) will know where and when it came from.

What a sweet gift from his Oma! Special times ❤❤

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Some beautiful items ❤❤

The gifted bread board is everything from Mike’s grandma!!! ❤❤❤

*I have German ancestry and will probably never be able to go to Germany. Thank you for letting me see the country of my ancestors through your eyes❣️* *I would leave the oil painting in the original frame...it's lovely. 🥰* *A recommendation: take time now - while it's FRESH in your mind - to label the backs (with a date!) of each of your purchases (and great-grandma's breadboard) with a description and perhaps a tiny thumbnail photo of the store you bought it at or the town in which it was found. You ●THINK● right now that you will ■ALWAYS■ remember these details - but TRUST ME - at almost 70 years old, BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU - you will NOT - and these precious memories passed down to your boys and future generations deserve to be as accurate as they are cherished. Please do the SAME thorough labeling of your photos, Andrea and Mike. 💜🙏🕊✝️. I PROMISE you will not regret it‼️ Having an 88 year old Mother and going over DECADES of her photographs with no names of the people or dates on the backs of the photos (that she was CERTAIN she would remember) has been torture to our Mother and so heartbreaking to see her regret. We may never figure out some of the nameless relatives she has pictures of. 😭 Please don't let this happen to you‼️😔*

Andrea, definitely definitely keep the frame...it adds so much class to the lovely painting xx

Your thrift finds are all wonderful. Those paintings are beautiful. I live in an area that is mostly German people. A large segment of them are third and fourth generation, but there's another large segment that are first generation, born and partly raised in Germany. They now have children who are first generation Canadians. I love the warmth and kind heartedness of the Germans.

Mike’s Oma was probably so delighted you loved the bread board and knew you would cherish it.❤️ I am Canadian and when we travel to the southern United States for a few months, I do a little thrifty. My husband always reminds me that I have to make room for it in our 24 foot RV. 🤷‍♂️😂 It is always nice to bring home something special to remind you of your previous travels. Thanks for sharing.❤️

Oh so special!! 😀 Glad you enjoyed following along 🤗

I am loving the Germany videos! I lived in Hamburg, Germany for 2 years serving a mission for my church. I LOVED it. I shortly later met and married my husband who’s Father was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪. Just 2 blocks from where I lived. I rode my bike by the apartment he lived in for his entire youth, every single day. In fact, the first time I went to meet my husband’s dad, he was on the phone with some church members I had been working with over there! What a small world! I knew then and there I would marry that man’s boy. And I did. We have been married for 28 years. We married just 4 months after we met. Sounds CRAZY when I say it, but when you know, you know!! I didn’t choose Germany to serve my mission in. I said I would go anywhere in the world. I spoke pretty good Spanish after 6 years of taking it in school. So I assumed I would be sent there by my church. But I was called to Germany. So I learned another language and fell in love with that country. I know God had his hand in sending me there. It had set the seed to meet this half German boy, and not be afraid of the culture differences. God is SO, SO GOOD!! Thanks for the wonderful videos and bringing back so many memories. And your love story is Beautiful, just Beautiful!

Sounds like a dream. Especially that you made these connections with your husband's family. That is truly what life is all about...

Having been able to travel to Germany a handful of times (with students, family, or alone), I understand the love you quickly developed for Germany!! It is a beautiful place and there are SO many wonderful people there!

I’m so happy that you all got to visit Germany and family. I knew you’d come home with great finds! That’s how I felt about leaving Italy, a piece of my heart is still there with my family I’ll never get to see again but hoping they saw Jesus in me and I’ll see them in heaven.

Th thrift store looked more organized than ones in N. America, at least the ones in my area. Love the big round bread board at the end. The fact that it came from Mike's great grandmother makes it extra special.

Yes leave that painting in the frame it's beautiful. Xx

Especially love the copper molds and paintings. I would keep the small one in the frame or keep the frame so you can display it both ways as it suits your needs. Tip: when I travel internationally, I purposely take one pair of older shoes I’m ready to replace and some clothing I will soon donate. I donate there near the end of trip and this gives me luggage space for treasures. Shoes are especially good because they’re heavy and bulky. 🤣😉

Please, please, please leave that painting in the frame!! It is so beautiful in the frame!

I grew up in Schwäbisch Gmünd which is close to Esslingen :) it warms my heart to hear you rave about Germany

Andrea ~ Thank you for sharing this trip with us ! I have always wanted to go to Germany and Wales. My Mother’s parents came from there. I have always said my “love” of stones, old wood and cool temps come from my German and Welsh blood running through me. I cried watching the video. 🥰 My heart melted when I saw all the stone buildings, foundations, etc! All the words in German. You made this old lady happy with your filming ….thank you ! I’m so “thankful” that Mike was able to take his beautiful family to his home country and meet family over there. Precious indeed is an understatement, right? God bless ~

Andrea, your face just lights up when talking about Germany and your husband's family! I'm so happy that all of you got to experience such an amazing quaint part of the world! You will keep this memory in your heart forever! You brought home some amazing decor for memories also! Lovely story Andrea! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! 🤍🙏

Thank you for sharing this! What a dream trip…and to bring back tokens of your husband’s heritage is sooooo special!! ♥️🙌🏻🇩🇪

Hi Andrea, the little boards are often used to serve a fast meal on--sandwiches, toast, fruit/crackers etc. We have a set from Germany and I use them to serve cinnamon "butterfly" toast for my grand children. There is a little wooden stand and the each hang as a set on the stand. Mine are all the same size, but same premise...

We lived in Deutschland for six years and we could have lived there for the rest of our lives, we enjoyed it so much. I’m so happy that you and your family were able to visit. Hoping you are able to visit again.

How cool to have a breadboard that belonged to your sons’ great-great grandmother!!!

I like the beat up frame! The painting is beautiful BTW.

I love everything you bought! Leave the painting in the frame, it looks perfect and beautiful together!! I am from Poland and I love European flea markets. I love your taste and I think you are just awesome! I love watching your videos!

Andrea what a great market! The paradise of any lover of antiques and second-hand objects. I loved the crockery. Especially the collection with old green figures. Everything is wonderful! Thanks for sharing this too. It has been a wonderful journey through your husband's beautiful land. Blessings and much love ❤😍🌹

Your three wooden boards are most probably bread boards. Germans often eat their breakfast and supper (bread, meat, cheese, jam) on wooden boards such as these rather than on plates. Quaint!

I love this video! How special for her to give you that bread board to stay in the family! I love the little painting in the frame!

The art looked so amazing! My heritage is dutch so I was thrilled that you got the painting with the windmill. Last week I enjoyed hearing the story of how you and your husband met and how the Lord brought him to Christ!!

I live in Ireland, yes you pronounce it four euros ninety. 😊 Great finds. How great that you shared your husband's roots with your children.

Thanks for confirming! 😄

So happy you brought back a couple paintings! So many precious ones. I like the painted board in the frame, but I am sure you will find what works best. Perhaps youcould rub and buff the color to adjust. The board from Mike's grandmother is such a treasure!

Everything was beautiful and what a special gift at the end ❤

I’m sure your husband’s family is just elated that he has a such a wonderful wife & 4 adorable boys ! Such a blessing to have been able to make that trip ! I love the things you bought - I would have bought so much more, even if I’d had to throw out the kid’s shoes - lol ! I thought for sure you would have bought a bunch of the copper at 12:39 - you seemed so overjoyed at seeing them - I was thinking they would have looked so cute just displayed in a big jar or even a wooden bowl - I do love the ones you did get ! I went to Monte Carlo one year & we took a train through Italy & got to go to a huge flea market there - I was pretty young at the time & I wasn’t really looking for the same sort of things I would today, but it was fun - I’ve always loved flea markets & have been to a number of European ones, but like I said, I was younger & just had not really developed my style or the love of vintage that I have now - it would be a whole different ball game now - lol ! I’m from New Orleans originally & whenever I go back to visit with my sister, we go to our old favorite thrift stores & at the end of one trip, she took a picture of me in our hotel room sitting on the floor in front of my suitcase, with my glasses on, chin on hand, trying to figure out how in the world to pack all the goodies I had bought - it was quite intense, for sure ! So wonderful that you were gifted that beautiful bread board from Mike’s grandmother - I know one day you have a wonderful, special daughter-in-law to pass it along to who will cherish it, too - the girls your sons marry will have won the mother-in-law lottery - you are such a beautiful woman, inside & out - thanks for sharing your wonderful trip !

(I need to enter a twelve step program for my cutting board addiction.) I love to USE them all,so I give them a light sanding,soak them in bleach for a few minutes ( because the sanding opens the grain) then rub them with mineral oil. (That oil is food safe and doesn’t turn rancid) I then feel comfortable using them for food and the oil helps them maintain their antique look. Your set of three boards would look cute looped together with a piece of twine,then hung on something.

What a delightful trip! The family bread board is my favorite. The history and knowing a relative owned and used that bread board is priceless! So meaningful.

It is all so lovely Andrea. To have family heirlooms of Mike's and to have all the memories you have to treasure. Priceless!!

I must admit that my eyes leaked when you showed the board that your husband's grandmother gave you. I "felt" that!

It is beautiful to witness how Germany and Mike’s family touched your heart! Beautiful finds!

❤ 4 Euro 90 is right In my area in the north of germany its not very usual buy second hand. But i love it and it makes me so happy to find special Things. The board is perfect looking. Thanks for your content. ☺️ Have a nice weekend.

Oh Andrea, such beautiful memories. Thank you for sharing your stories with us. ❤️ As far as the little painting, I think it's absolutely beautiful WITH the frame!! You stated it was actually more silver than gold, so I would use rub & buff to make the frame color work with the artwork. Thru the camera lens as we see them together, it's stunning!! May God continue to bless your sweet family, both in the USA and in Germany 🙏

There is something super special about thrifting and antiquing in Europe. We went to Scotland last month and hit up some charity shops and antique stores. I came home with some amazing treasures....including an antique watercolor 😍

Nice things you picked up and I would get choked up too because it’s a part of your husband that’s why you feel that way ❤

The ladle has a beautiful patina. Thanks for sharing your travels.

I loved your video of Germany. I lived there for three years. I loved it. I miss Germany so much. I visited Germany again a few years ago. I bought so much and mailed it home. It was expensive but so worth it.

Andrea thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience in Germany and all your amazing treasures. The cutting board that Oma gave you is so pretty.

Wow!! Such a beautiful video! God bless you & Family.

I love the art in the frame!

So amazing Andrea, wow! I would have had such a hard time not wanting to buy it all. What treasure! I want to go to Germany to look up where my great grandmother and grandfather lived. It looks beautiful there. The cutting board from Oma is the best thing ever. Your truly blessed.

Andrea, this is one of my absolute favorite videos. I'm so happy that your family had this trip & I can completely relate. A few years back my husband & I went to England. This has been a life long dream for me. I loved the Cotswold villages sooo much & have some thrifting regrets of not purchasing. Your finds are perfect, I vote for keeping the painting in the frame! With your decorating style, the contrast of the frame being ornate will really make it a focal point. I think it's beautiful in your bedroom.

I'd definitely keep it in the frame!❤

Love the finds especially the oil paintings.

The three butter boards would be so cute on a ribbon , hanging on the wall.

My husband is in the military and we have been to Germany a few times. It is so beautiful! While there we also visited Belgium and we went to a flea market by the river and there were these old keys, some were huge. I always wish I had bought them! You had some great finds!

I started crying at the end with the gift that Mike's Oma gave you.Everything you bought was so awesome.I love both the paintings I would leave the one in the frame.😊

Awe! I heard your ♥️ heard! When you have family that are there your heart left a piece there! I know I have a son there with two of my beautiful grandbabies in Germany! He lives in a small town call, Prum! It is amazing beautiful with castles and churches, with all the history, I think back, we all came from there! We just left to come here, our forefathers?!? But I know it’s so hard leaving, mostly our loved ones and to those that captured my heart, I know is forever! I pray though one day my son and his lil family will come home, I just the miles between us!!!

I never been, my military friends have. They loved it there. I’m so happy you’re children got to see there great grand ma. Hope you and your family can return there next year.

What treasures! When I saw the bread boards I thought if she doesn’t pick up some of those I’m going die. When I’ve gone to other countries I’ve thrown away my clothes in order to bring more stuff back. I’m glad your family had such a wonderful time.

Wow? what a trip, nice finds, it is always hard to try and bring things home from a different country. I am so happy you were able to visit family and really enjoy the different culture. The painting are the best.

The wooden thing with the hole in it? Definitely an egg separator!🤣🤣

A very long time ago I lived in Germany, while my hubby was in the service. It is where I fell in love with thrifting and antiquing. I saw so many things that I remembered seeing. That outdoor shed was fabulous! I was like you, it was my happy place too. You brought home some beautiful pieces. Love the painting and the other picture. Lovely! Well, guess you will have to plan a trip for next year! 😂❤❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Oh & take empty suitcases!😮😮😮

Great fines. I would keep the painting in the frame. Its beautiful. What a lovely gift from grandma.

I bet Mike's family loves you!
