I am so happy you don't want to discuss money. Treasure finding is not about that and the poetry found in objects is what matters to you evidently and this is why we're here. Thank you for sharing this romantic beauty with the world.
Beautiful! I love the use of the small pot to hold teabags. It inspires me to look at Items in my home to see what could be contained in a more attractive vessel.
Such lovely treasures, thank you for sharing them and the styling ideas. I love the Neo-Classical style as well, the purity of line, shape and color with classical motifs, so versatile, adding elegance.
I love pieces with some history, and I like to find them and give them a second chance to brighten. You are like an artist. You have beautiful soul ❤️ All your findings are incredible. Best regards 😊
I’m blessed to travel a lot and live in different countries for the past 10 years. I buy things because I LOVE them….not to display costs. I 100% understand and respect your thoughts and beliefs. The pieces you bought are absolutely beautiful ❤❤
I absolutely love how you don’t want to talk about the price of things. I don’t understand why it should matter. From what I gather, you buy stuff because you like them and they appease to you. Not because how much they cost. You are here doing what you love. It’s so sad to see that people think value is so important. Thanks for being so humble.
Thank you, yes it is my passion and I am more interested in sharing accurate facts about each object, their history and bits like that, however I do see how price would be relevant if you watch from abroad, just to get an idea. Us French really don't like talking about money though haha!
Morning, I love antiques/ vintage as well. I’m lucky my parents passed down many items to us from their parents and great grandparents. Baskets are among them. Several of my favorite are stamped Domino Sugar which were used to transport pies or deliver your sugar, I was told by my grandma. Thank you for another wonderful video ❤
Yes, and the stories I’ve been told about them. The wood tea cart/ wagon was a first yr wedding anniversary present my grandfather gave my grandmother 1919. Some of the pieces around our home I’ve attached/nearby pictures of my grandparents/great sitting in a chair or the item is in their home. Treasures. We as well enjoy mixing contemporary items in. Have a wonderful day 😊
Gorgeous, gorgeous pieces! Each one must give you a smile each time you see it. The hanging baskets is genius. I think you need more and I bet that was part of the plan. Loved the video!
You have a beautiful style when it comes to interior design and it’s very inspiring to see what kind of treasures you can find in antique stores in France 😍. Thank you for your lovely videos!
😊jolies découvertes ces objets sont tellement beaux Les paniers sont accrochés chez moi aussi mes amies m’ont repris cette idée 😊 Bonne fin de journée merci pour ce partage
Bonsoir Audrey. After watching your video I jumped in my car to visit Brocante Pascal. I found many lovely things including a small crystal chandelier for my powder room and a marble table for outdoors. Thank you so much for the recommendation and I look forward to more gorgeous videos!
Hello!High quality abd and charming thrifted items❤I love the wiven baskets so much,the small one reminded me the one we had for bread when I was a little girl!!! Excellent choices and decoration inspo❤❤❤Thank you
I absolutely love any and all videos you do. I watch because I love all things French and your videos are so relaxing and inspiring. So as far as sharing prices- “You Do You.” Do what you are comfortable with. Watching from North Carolina, USA.
Bonsoir Audrey, merci beaucoup pour ton magnifique contenu. Tes vidéos sont merveilleuses. J’habite près de Saintes et bien sûr à côté de Saint-Porchaire. La semaine prochaine, j’irai visiter la brocante Pascal. Merci encore. Bon week-end!
Bonjour, comme je suis contente de le lire, tu verras sa brocante regorge de petits trésors! tu pourras lui dire que tu viens suite à ma vidéo, il sera content! bon weekend
New subscriber. Enjoying your content. I'm from middle America. Amazing how so many miles apart yet can enjoy and appreciate the same things. Look forward to seeing more in the future. 😊
Hi! You have a great eye for collecting. Honestly, I doubt if anyone expects you to disclose the monetary amount you paid for your purchases. It is fun that you are sharing what you have discovered. Beautiful items!
Love love love this video! And such a good call on sharing prices. I know people ask about this all the time, on my channel as well. But the truth is exactly as you're saying: it all depends on where you shop (Emmaüs, vide Grenier, le bon coin, a brocante and antiques shop) and sometimes I find there are big differences between the different regions. Really love seeing how you use your items to style your home. You're such an inspiration! ps. I replied to your email!
Thank you Marloes! yes absolutely, prices differ from regions because some things will be abundant in some areas due to the factory being there and rare in others because they are miles away from where it was produced, objects only just started to travel in recent years ;)
Hola from Spain. Lovely finds, I'm an avid collector... Before we moved from the UK I got rid of most of my collections, but started again once settled in Spain. It's a passion & hobby. ♥️
Hello from the USA! I just LOVE your channel! I instantly subscribed after the first video! Love your style both in the home and in your clothing. Can you tell us the brand name of your wool overcoat you are wearing in this video? I have been on the hunt for the perfect coat and yours is exactly what I am looking for. I would appreciate any info on the brand or where it was purchased. Thanks for all you do - can't wait for the next video!

Would you ever consider sharing your Airbnb residence. Would love to hear your ideas on how to begin. Thank you! So love your style. And, we can never have enough baskets!
Sounds fair to give the average market price of any piece, i agree with you in not being comfortable with telling how much you payed for something. i m a newbie here and i like you channel
Happy new year but most of all happy shopping big or small the cost is irrelevant for anyone who acquires something that is valuable to them and is worth the price went shopping at antique place not far from where we live and I always say to my daughter if you love what you see and you will enjoy for a while it’s worth the money thank you for sharing your beautiful objects and from vases to plant holder and baskets they look magnificent thank you for your Elegant way of presenting them
So helpful to have the french word written on screen - thank you. I can hear your Kiwi accent too, very subtle. You must have lived there a long time to pick up an accent. I need to Google Bunny Melon. Beautiful pieces. 💓
I have an obsession with baskets! All the wonder shapes and sizes, I need a bigger cottage!! Also a little more pricy here in uk, you need to search. Lovely that you chatted to us felt more connected. Lovely vlog! ❤
Thank you! yes, all the shapes and the fact that you can feel a human hand made it makes it so special! I am glad you enjoyed the face cam, I was so unsure about it haha!
The acanthus leaf is steeped in history and I have several growing in my garden and the flowers are strange and interesting. It is classier not to talk about money and I agree the prices will vary. The vase is lovely.
the findings are great, the baskets hanging from the ceiling are a great idea, though I am not found of the idea of the spiders and the dust, but it looks good. My favorite is the tray. Is it possible to make someone bas-relief by themselves? All this neoclassic style is old time classic!
Yes, I thought about the dust up in there but I think it looks lovely and will be worth the hassle of getting up a ladder with a vacuum cleaner every now and again :) You can absolutely make bas relief by yourself with plaster and a mold, although probably not a large one as large ones require wire inside not to break. There are still plasterwork artisans nowadays, many in Paris for instance.
Greetings from Cape Cod, USA. Unfortunately, I do not have a basket addiction because they are so easy to find and very inexpensive ($1 or just a few) or many are free at our local "dumps" for garbage and recycling....where there is a large shed for people to donate or pick up items for free. The only baskets that are tres cher from the area... Nantucket Is., are what are called Nantucket Lightship baskets which sell in the high hundreds...maybe antique ones in the thousands. Meanwhile enjoy your finds. My addiction is fresh cut flowers so I especially love the glass vase you found and your choice of use a few delicate stems. BTW: I think giving the current retail price for your finds is the perfect solution because it helps us know the value of something and whether we are getting a bargain at a bocante, thrift or charity shop.
I have seen Nantucket Lightship baskets on a video earlier today actually! they are gorgeous, the craftsmanship looks amazing. Baskets are pretty cheap here too, and very easy to find as well, to me that's not what dictates if something is collectible or not. If you like something and are attracted to it then it is worth your love : value is in the eye of the beholder right? and value comes in many forms. I am glad you found having prices helpful, I totally see why it was a relevant request in my previous video, especially when you watch from abroad. Enjoy your day, I have always dreamt of visiting Cape Cod, everything there feels so charming!
Bonjour. Vidéo intéressante. Je comprends l’importance de répondre aux commentaires. Toutefois, mon humble avis est qu’il s’agit de votre chaîne TH-cam et que votre style vous appartient. Je soutiens à 100% votre opinion de ne pas partager les prix. Sinon, le cache-pot est magnifique! ✨ Merci pour l’info des « assiettes parlantes ». Je ne connaissais pas le terme. J’adore aussi l’idée de partage d’inspiration. ❤ Sincères salutations de la ville de Québec. 💁🏻♀️🇨🇦
merci beaucoup pour votre point de vue. C'est la réflexion que je me suis faite après coup, je dois suivre mon style et mon instinct. You live and you learn ;) bonne journée!
Have done the same with my basket huge collection 15 years ago! Otherwise, one advice for tulips. Don't put that much water but only a centimeter. They'll live much longer and stay straight up! 😊
Let’s try to outgrow the stigma of discussing money. It doesn’t matter what you paid, you don’t have to justify it to anyone. If you love it, you love it 😘
Happy New Year to you Audrey & yours. I’m really glad you addressed the price topic. We get asked that question also ( to share prices) and for us it’s harder to answer as we resale many of our finds and like to consider our time, efforts and packing but most importantly consider our “value,” so we don’t like to share that information. BTW- I once had an Emile braided bowl that I didn’t realize what it was until after I sold it and slightly regretted it. 😊 Your set of white candlestick holders, I have one of those for my own keeper collection. Do you know anything about them? ❤Jeni
Yes absolutely, and it is for fellow dealers that I felt fair to share a professional dealer price. The white candlesticks are not very old usually, second part of the 20th century, mostly from Limoges :)
Merci! Vous pouvez mettre les sous titres en français en cliquant sur le bouton CC en bas à droite de l'écran puis en cliquant sur le bouton juste à sa droite pour sélectionner la langue de votre choix :) bonne journée
I know... the shipping costs a fortune though so that would play a big part in the price jump I suppose. Maybe you can plan yourself a trip to source these kind of beauties yourself :)
Quelle joie de commencer le week-end avec une nouvelle vidéo ❤ J’aime beaucoup les pièces que tu as chiné et j’apprécie d’avoir une fourchette pour les prix même si cela peut changer d’une région à une autre, d’un marchand à un autre. J’aimerais chiner plus régulièrement cette année et ça peut m’aider vu que je ne suis pas une experte, alors même si en France l’argent est un sujet tabou, je trouve que c’est bien que tu nous en parles 🙏🏻 Mon anglais n’est pas très bon mais si j’ai bien compris, ton plateau est en argent et pas en métal argenté, c’est bien cela? Tu dis qu’on le sent au poids, est-ce qu’il n’y a pas aussi une question de poinçon ? Comment entretiens-tu ton argenterie et tes paniers ? Merci encore. Doux week-end Audrey ❄️
Bonsoir Amandine, c'est vrai qu'une idée des prix apporte un soupçon d'info supplémentaire. Le plateau est en métal argenté, le texte explique que l'argent véritable est plus léger et en effet pour l'argent il y a des poinçons qui permettent de l'identifier. Pour le métal argenté, je trouve que le poids est important, on sent toute de suite un métal argenté bas de gamme et récent quand il est léger et fin. L'entretien de l'argenterie sera le sujet d'une prochaine vidéo ;) Je ne fais rien de spécial pour les panier, à part leur donner un coup d'aspirateur de temps en temps pour enlever la poussière. Bonne soirée! et d'avance bon weekend
@ Merci. Je suis contente de t’avoir posé la question du coup car je n’avais pas bien compris ❤️ Les couverts que tu chines sont aussi en métal argenté? J’aimerais me constituer progressivement une ménagère, hâte d’être au printemps et de voir ta vidéo spécial entretien ☺️
Lovely pieces Audrey! I'd be interested to learn how you maintain your silverware... p.s. your commentary seems to be in mono (when listening with headphones).
I am planning on sharing how I look after silverware, it is a labour of love haha! Can you tell me what "mono" means for commentary? I suspect it is regarding sound but I don't know much about that aspect of videos!! (I hope you can still hear the videos correctly though!!)
@Frenchcountrysidediary Great! Looking forward to that episode. Meanwhile I was inspired and gave mine a long overdue polish today. 🥰 Yes, we can hear the videos fine. Just wanted to let you know that the audio of the part where you described the items didn't seem to be in stereo (the sound only came through on one side of the headphones) whereas the rest of the audio (music, outdoor noise etc) was in stereo. Maybe a setting on the mic? It was clear and audible though and didn't detract from the overall experience.
I don’t think you need to discuss prices of your items. Most of us who collected from Antique sales or shops, know most of the pricing. Just do what you were doing previously. How you are going to use your purchases and showing. us, is interesting. People are not buying from you, so don’t need to know how how much you are spending. Love your channel. And I keep being distracted by the necklace you are wearing, beautiful. I bought myself some tulips too today. Always nice after the Christmas decorations are put away.
Bonjour Audrey Je vous suis depuis de nombreuses années mais suis vraiment trop timide pour m imposer ici . Merci au vous pour tant de douceur et de très bon goût et c est un réel plaisir de vous découvrir à chaque contenu. Par contre, étant donné que mon niveau d anglais ne soit pas top top , y a-t-il moyen d avoir une traduction française écrite sur vos prochaines vidéos . Voilà, c’est dit, je me sens moins timide tout à coup . À bientôt, 💐
Bonjour, merci pour votre gentil message et votre fidélité toutes ces années. Pour la traduction des videos il vous suffit de cliquer sur l'icône "CC" en bas à droite, puis sur l'icône "paramètres" juste à côté. De là vous pourrez sélectionner "sous titres", "automatiques" puis choisir la langue française afin de faire apparaître la traduction! Beau dimanche!
I agree with you about the money! I will brag about cheap prices I pay for things I keep myself, but I’d never want to spill how much I pay for things to sell. If I barely paid anything they’d question why I’m charging so much more. Haha! Also, your videography is beautiful! What kind of camera are you using? If you don’t mind sharing! 🥰
haha, I get that! I am keeping all of these for me, no plan on selling them, I think I just don't want to give prices that are bargains because then everyone will expect these prices on the market, which is inaccurate, and I feel like I would do a disservice to my past profession and fellow dealers. Thank you for your compliment, I use a Nikon D850 with a zoom lens (28-74mm I think?), it is my photography gear but seems to work well for video too :)
@ I totally agree! I don’t mean I tell people publicly what I’ve paid - only to my family! Hehe! I brag I got cool things cheap only to them! 😉 I’m SO happy that’s the camera you use!!!! That’s the EXACT same model I’ve been trying to get for a few years! I use a Nikon D700 for my photography, but I want to make videos so bad! Thank you so much for letting me know - that inspires me to make videos! 🥰
@@jennicawolf77 oh super!!! I had the D700 before the D850 and the jump in quality was insane, I love that camera. I have had it for a good 6 or 7 years now and still love it!
I could remove them easily, just by untying the small metal wire that is attached to the hooks. But honestly I don't plan to use them, I have other baskets for that haha
Agreed no talk of money. The beauty of what you find and how you display it is such a joy! Thank you 🎉
thank you!! I,am glad my joy comes through, it really is a passion
I am so happy you don't want to discuss money. Treasure finding is not about that and the poetry found in objects is what matters to you evidently and this is why we're here. Thank you for sharing this romantic beauty with the world.
Yes! Thank you so much!
Beautiful! I love the use of the small pot to hold teabags. It inspires me to look at Items in my home to see what could be contained in a more attractive vessel.
oh that's lovely to read! I am glad you feel inspired :)
I Love it. Every piece IS absolutely your style! Nice!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much!! and I think that is why I love antiques so much, you can find things that are just so unique to you! have a great day!
I have a basket addiction, as well. I adore them. I simply love your style.
Thanks so much! 😊 baskets are irresistible!
Such lovely treasures, thank you for sharing them and the styling ideas. I love the Neo-Classical style as well, the purity of line, shape and color with classical motifs, so versatile, adding elegance.
You are so welcome! yes, you are absolutely right , the purity of the Neo classical lines is really elegant
I love pieces with some history, and I like to find them and give them a second chance to brighten. You are like an artist. You have beautiful soul ❤️ All your findings are incredible. Best regards 😊
Wow, thank you! I am the same, it is the history of these pieces that grabs me!
I’m getting repetitive too !
The mix of rustic, simplicity, elegance and style - a winning combination.
❤

It's so big pleasure to wach your materials. Thank you for this nice, calm moments with "your surrounding" 🙂

Don’t you look at the price of things before you buy them. Cost is always important.
@@superara1You have obviously missed the entire point here.
I can’t see what difference it makes how much someone pays for an item
We all have different prices points
Think it’s a silly thing to say
Dear Audrey, oh I loved it so much, as always! Your taste is exquisite! Brings me kind of peace..And you look so pretty! .-)
Thank you so much! that's so kind!
Simply elegant, I love the idea of hanging all the lovely baskets. I too have a passion for baskets. Thank you for sharing.

I lived in NZ for 10 years and my husband is kiwi ;) Bunny Melon's style is so timeless, she decorated many houses very tastefully
I have an obsession with baskets! All the wonder shapes and sizes, I need a bigger cottage!! Also a little more pricy here in uk, you need to search. Lovely that you chatted to us felt more connected. Lovely vlog! ❤
Thank you! yes, all the shapes and the fact that you can feel a human hand made it makes it so special! I am glad you enjoyed the face cam, I was so unsure about it haha!
💜💜💜💜💜💜
I wish you had an Etsy shop. Absolutely luv everything you do. Watching from South Carolina, USA.
Thank you so much! I had an online for a few years but put a halt to it as I did not enjoy the shipping part at all haha!
The acanthus leaf is steeped in history and I have several growing in my garden and the flowers are strange and interesting. It is classier not to talk about money and I agree the prices will vary. The vase is lovely.
Thank you Trudie!
Merci pour tes explications. Je sens que tu vas lancer une nouvelle mode de paniers au plafond des cuisines. C'est hyper joli dans la tienne.
Merci!
Love all your treasures🦘🇦🇺🐨
thank you!!
Beautiful finds, and styled. I have also the jar with the faces on it. But the lid is missing.
Oh thank you! Yes the lids are often missing on these pieces or are chipped :(
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
the findings are great, the baskets hanging from the ceiling are a great idea, though I am not found of the idea of the spiders and the dust, but it looks good. My favorite is the tray. Is it possible to make someone bas-relief by themselves? All this neoclassic style is old time classic!
Yes, I thought about the dust up in there but I think it looks lovely and will be worth the hassle of getting up a ladder with a vacuum cleaner every now and again :) You can absolutely make bas relief by yourself with plaster and a mold, although probably not a large one as large ones require wire inside not to break. There are still plasterwork artisans nowadays, many in Paris for instance.
Greetings from Cape Cod, USA. Unfortunately, I do not have a basket addiction because they are so easy to find and very inexpensive ($1 or just a few) or many are free at our local "dumps" for garbage and recycling....where there is a large shed for people to donate or pick up items for free. The only baskets that are tres cher from the area... Nantucket Is., are what are called Nantucket Lightship baskets which sell in the high hundreds...maybe antique ones in the thousands. Meanwhile enjoy your finds. My addiction is fresh cut flowers so I especially love the glass vase you found and your choice of use a few delicate stems. BTW: I think giving the current retail price for your finds is the perfect solution because it helps us know the value of something and whether we are getting a bargain at a bocante, thrift or charity shop.
I have seen Nantucket Lightship baskets on a video earlier today actually! they are gorgeous, the craftsmanship looks amazing.
Baskets are pretty cheap here too, and very easy to find as well, to me that's not what dictates if something is collectible or not. If you like something and are attracted to it then it is worth your love : value is in the eye of the beholder right? and value comes in many forms.
I am glad you found having prices helpful, I totally see why it was a relevant request in my previous video, especially when you watch from abroad.
Enjoy your day, I have always dreamt of visiting Cape Cod, everything there feels so charming!
Bonjour. Vidéo intéressante. Je comprends l’importance de répondre aux commentaires. Toutefois, mon humble avis est qu’il s’agit de votre chaîne TH-cam et que votre style vous appartient. Je soutiens à 100% votre opinion de ne pas partager les prix. Sinon, le cache-pot est magnifique! ✨ Merci pour l’info des « assiettes parlantes ». Je ne connaissais pas le terme. J’adore aussi l’idée de partage d’inspiration. ❤ Sincères salutations de la ville de Québec. 💁🏻♀️🇨🇦
merci beaucoup pour votre point de vue. C'est la réflexion que je me suis faite après coup, je dois suivre mon style et mon instinct. You live and you learn ;) bonne journée!
Have done the same with my basket huge collection 15 years ago! Otherwise, one advice for tulips. Don't put that much water but only a centimeter. They'll live much longer and stay straight up! 😊
oh thank you for the tip!! I have only recently started liking tulips again and don't much about how to care for them
Thank you
You're welcome
I would love to see how you clean the copper marmite and the result afterwards please ❤
Oh I should have recorded that... I already did it, using a special copper cleaner and a buffer sponge :)
Let’s try to outgrow the stigma of discussing money. It doesn’t matter what you paid, you don’t have to justify it to anyone. If you love it, you love it 😘
Happy New Year to you Audrey & yours. I’m really glad you addressed the price topic. We get asked that question also ( to share prices) and for us it’s harder to answer as we resale many of our finds and like to consider our time, efforts and packing but most importantly consider our “value,” so we don’t like to share that information. BTW- I once had an Emile braided bowl that I didn’t realize what it was until after I sold it and slightly regretted it. 😊 Your set of white candlestick holders, I have one of those for my own keeper collection. Do you know anything about them? ❤Jeni
Yes absolutely, and it is for fellow dealers that I felt fair to share a professional dealer price. The white candlesticks are not very old usually, second part of the 20th century, mostly from Limoges :)
@@FrenchcountrysidediaryMerci! I couldn’t find any information about the one I have. Bon weekend…
J aime vous suivre ,vous regardez malheureusement je ne comprends pas 🤷♀️mais tant pis je regarde vos trouvailles et votre déco ❤😊
Merci! Vous pouvez mettre les sous titres en français en cliquant sur le bouton CC en bas à droite de l'écran puis en cliquant sur le bouton juste à sa droite pour sélectionner la langue de votre choix :) bonne journée
Ooh merci 😅❤
That planter pot is stunning. Kills me bc in an antique shop in America these items would be at least twice the price. Oh why can’t I live in France 🥹
I know... the shipping costs a fortune though so that would play a big part in the price jump I suppose. Maybe you can plan yourself a trip to source these kind of beauties yourself :)
@frenchcountrysidediary that would be a dream! You are definitely inspiring me 💭
Is your necklace vintage? If it is new, would you mind sharing where it is from? It is so beautiful! I'm so happy I came across your channel!
Thank you! yes my necklace is vintage, it is a provençal pendant :)
Quelle joie de commencer le week-end avec une nouvelle vidéo ❤ J’aime beaucoup les pièces que tu as chiné et j’apprécie d’avoir une fourchette pour les prix même si cela peut changer d’une région à une autre, d’un marchand à un autre. J’aimerais chiner plus régulièrement cette année et ça peut m’aider vu que je ne suis pas une experte, alors même si en France l’argent est un sujet tabou, je trouve que c’est bien que tu nous en parles 🙏🏻 Mon anglais n’est pas très bon mais si j’ai bien compris, ton plateau est en argent et pas en métal argenté, c’est bien cela? Tu dis qu’on le sent au poids, est-ce qu’il n’y a pas aussi une question de poinçon ? Comment entretiens-tu ton argenterie et tes paniers ? Merci encore. Doux week-end Audrey ❄️
Bonsoir Amandine, c'est vrai qu'une idée des prix apporte un soupçon d'info supplémentaire. Le plateau est en métal argenté, le texte explique que l'argent véritable est plus léger et en effet pour l'argent il y a des poinçons qui permettent de l'identifier. Pour le métal argenté, je trouve que le poids est important, on sent toute de suite un métal argenté bas de gamme et récent quand il est léger et fin.
L'entretien de l'argenterie sera le sujet d'une prochaine vidéo ;)
Je ne fais rien de spécial pour les panier, à part leur donner un coup d'aspirateur de temps en temps pour enlever la poussière.
Bonne soirée! et d'avance bon weekend
@ Merci. Je suis contente de t’avoir posé la question du coup car je n’avais pas bien compris ❤️ Les couverts que tu chines sont aussi en métal argenté? J’aimerais me constituer progressivement une ménagère, hâte d’être au printemps et de voir ta vidéo spécial entretien ☺️
@@amandine4431 certains sont en métal argenté et d'autres en argent, cela dépend de ce sur quoi j'ai la chance e tomber en chinant ;)
Lovely pieces Audrey! I'd be interested to learn how you maintain your silverware...
p.s. your commentary seems to be in mono (when listening with headphones).
I am planning on sharing how I look after silverware, it is a labour of love haha!
Can you tell me what "mono" means for commentary? I suspect it is regarding sound but I don't know much about that aspect of videos!! (I hope you can still hear the videos correctly though!!)
@Frenchcountrysidediary Great! Looking forward to that episode. Meanwhile I was inspired and gave mine a long overdue polish today. 🥰
Yes, we can hear the videos fine. Just wanted to let you know that the audio of the part where you described the items didn't seem to be in stereo (the sound only came through on one side of the headphones) whereas the rest of the audio (music, outdoor noise etc) was in stereo. Maybe a setting on the mic? It was clear and audible though and didn't detract from the overall experience.
I don’t think you need to discuss prices of your items. Most of us who collected from Antique sales or shops, know most of the pricing. Just do what you were doing previously. How you are going to use your purchases and showing. us, is interesting. People are not buying from you, so don’t need to know how how much you are spending. Love your channel. And I keep being distracted by the necklace you are wearing, beautiful. I bought myself some tulips too today. Always nice after the Christmas decorations are put away.
thank you Darlene! yes I agree with you and I think I will just do it my way next time :)
Bonjour Audrey
Je vous suis depuis de nombreuses années mais suis vraiment trop timide pour m imposer ici . Merci au vous pour tant de douceur et de très bon goût et c est un réel plaisir de vous découvrir à chaque contenu. Par contre, étant donné que mon niveau d anglais ne soit pas top top , y a-t-il moyen d avoir une traduction française écrite sur vos prochaines vidéos . Voilà, c’est dit, je me sens moins timide tout à coup . À bientôt, 💐
Bonjour, merci pour votre gentil message et votre fidélité toutes ces années.
Pour la traduction des videos il vous suffit de cliquer sur l'icône "CC" en bas à droite, puis sur l'icône "paramètres" juste à côté. De là vous pourrez sélectionner "sous titres", "automatiques" puis choisir la langue française afin de faire apparaître la traduction! Beau dimanche!
Merci beaucoup chère Audrey 🥰
Sound volume ?? I enjoy your chanel ❣️🥰💝💝💝
Thank you! The volume seems fine down my end, is it too low?
I agree with you about the money! I will brag about cheap prices I pay for things I keep myself, but I’d never want to spill how much I pay for things to sell. If I barely paid anything they’d question why I’m charging so much more. Haha! Also, your videography is beautiful! What kind of camera are you using? If you don’t mind sharing! 🥰
haha, I get that! I am keeping all of these for me, no plan on selling them, I think I just don't want to give prices that are bargains because then everyone will expect these prices on the market, which is inaccurate, and I feel like I would do a disservice to my past profession and fellow dealers.
Thank you for your compliment, I use a Nikon D850 with a zoom lens (28-74mm I think?), it is my photography gear but seems to work well for video too :)
@ I totally agree! I don’t mean I tell people publicly what I’ve paid - only to my family! Hehe! I brag I got cool things cheap only to them! 😉 I’m SO happy that’s the camera you use!!!! That’s the EXACT same model I’ve been trying to get for a few years! I use a Nikon D700 for my photography, but I want to make videos so bad! Thank you so much for letting me know - that inspires me to make videos! 🥰
@@jennicawolf77 oh super!!! I had the D700 before the D850 and the jump in quality was insane, I love that camera. I have had it for a good 6 or 7 years now and still love it!
@ Yessss, the D700 is still one of their best rated ones! Hahah! I can’t wait to get that one! Thanks! 💙
Are you able to remove the baskets easily to use them?
I could remove them easily, just by untying the small metal wire that is attached to the hooks. But honestly I don't plan to use them, I have other baskets for that haha
Beautiful ❤, enjoy seeing your finds, beautifully styled. Thank you 😊
@@celinaderose thank you!
Doesn't the copper jam pot need to be re-tinned before use?
Not for cooking sweet things like jam, however you cannot cook anything savory in it
@ thank you for clarifying for me -theresa
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely touches. (I must-be the exception here, because prices dó matter to me, unfortunately!)
thank you! (and I understand both point of views :))
🥰🥰🥰🥰😍
