Hi everyone, I really hope you enjoy this new episode! If you would like to watch my latest ASMR video where I look through a gorgeous new coffee table book, you can do so here: th-cam.com/video/4yX1ZPgJCMs/w-d-xo.html
🎩You looked so debonair in the handsome top hat😊. (Inherited a 🖤brilliant black bowler hat from merry old🏴England, but sadly it was too tiny for my big head🤣.) You also made an attractive tableau enjoying your lovely 🍵tea & carrot cupcake🧁 with the enormous bouquet of white tulips🌷 too 👏🏻. Can't wait to try your recipe. Outstanding glimpse👁👁 of Edinburgh at your opening sequence too. You're so fortunate to live in such a spectacular ancient city. Fascinated by 🏴Scotland's long history. The USA🇺🇸 is so young in comparison... 😘What an exciting shop tour. It's like visiting a living museum. It would be so captivating to learn the stories 📖 behind each & every item for sale❤. Adore Georgian furnishing & decor. Antique shops are thin on the ground in 😎LA, but the few we do have are way outside my modest 💲price range anyway. It's possible to discover some special finds from 1900-1920, but 18-19th Century furnishings are more rare on the West Coast. Armoires certainly weren't dragged across the continent by covered 🐴wagon. 🎋You'll find more Chinese Foo Dogs (lion dogs) over Staffordshire dogs on our shelves. Been to some local auction houses here in my life where they featured some spectacular Victorian pieces. 😬Considerably easier to find a few antique road kill dressers & cabinets that need 🛠serious TLC. Love it all, but vintage goods are more my speed❣️ Bless you❣️ 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Hello Nicolas, thank you for this beautiful video, it would be nice if you could show us more about these antique places, also houses with old books and castles enchanted with their legends, please Nicolas! it would be so nice to hear them narrated by you.
Your thumbnail was everything!…The hat makes it!…Love this antiques episode and your interpretation of them but mostly I love how Sophie goes every where with you and the cute little kiss at the end….
Sophie is so well behaved in these tiny spaces! I am so glad you choose to stay in Edinburgh. It is a place I hope to visit and think of you as my 'personal' tour guide!!!
I haven’t been antiquing for a while, but my favorite items have always been boxes and furniture with lots of small drawers. I loved the tea caddies. The top hat looked made for you!
What a lovely day out with such great antiques! I as you love the fact that all of these things tell a story and have a history. Thank you for taking us around the antique shop. You should do this more often. Have a lovely week.
I love your tea service, Sophie on the couch, the profusion of white tulips and the delicious cake .. what a beautiful painting 🥰 💖✨ Thank you so much Nicolas 🙏 💞
Now that's an antique store! Those enormous covered silver serving pieces! The chairs! The golf clubs! And so much more! The word antique is so loosely used but these were the real thing. Great tour, thank you!
The hat looks perfect with your coat! looks good on you, makes you look like an "English gentleman", ......which you are!! ❤England is a wonderful place to get some beautiful pieces❤ cupcakes are easily freezable also, just put in little sandwhich sized freezer bags and you can pull them out the night before for a nice egg, bacon muffin breakfast!, mmm yummy! You could use cut squares of parchment paper, then you would have more room. Thanks for sharing!
What a magnificent antique store😮I can't imagine taking Niko, my Siberian Husky there. Sophie was so well behaved. I am with you, I love carrot cake as well. Keep practicing your baking.
Thank you for taking us on the antique browsing. Those cupcakes did look so delicious. Tulips and that book looked interesting. Sophie was also enjoying herself and fry attentive.
How delightful! I have a date with a friend this very afternoon to scour our favorite antique stores for beautiful, useful things! Certainly adds to my anticipatory mood, TY!
Hello Nicholas, Well, I was immediately enthralled with the dolls house as my father brought one home when I was about 12, but being a boy, it wasn't meant for me but my younger sisters who incidentally were not the slightest bit interested. It languished in our basement, huge, old and lonely. I was captivated by it but regretfully never even thought of redecorating it. It was professionally handmade and a copy of the 3 story historic home a distant cousin lived in. Completely furnished, it even had electric lights you could switch on and off... I just hadn't found my calling yet. And I was busy trying to fashion a pair of trousers out of some colorful plastic inflatable water rafts ... who knew that stitching them would perforate them causing them to come apart at every seam the first wearing? I loved the visit to the antiques market as we don't really have the history here in the US to find many things from the past discarded. Now and then but those things tend to end up at estate sales. I was a bit disappointed when you found something you liked but didn't tell us the price. I also thought the top-hat looked very good on you and would have been a fun look for every day wear which certainly would make you a character in any crowd. I can't wait to try your carrot cupcake recipe as well. Ours, although I have not tried everyone's, tend to be much blander without all the spices you mention. But at the moment the oven is my repository for loads of china which I also collect and are boxed inside. I'll make some changes. The book you spoke of is the one that got away. I am referring to the Howard Slatkin one, 5th Avenue Style. I vacillated about buying it at the time but now it is out of print and the ones available anywhere are in the hundreds of dollars. I have looked through it though and was very impressed with his taste. I'll keep searching for it to add to my existing library of interior design books. I get completely lost in them. I can try to send you a list or better yet a photo of the hundreds I already own. 5500+ pounds last time I moved! Can YOU say OCD? Ok, this is too long for a comment but wanted you to know I can relate to most of what you seem to be intrigued by. Me too! Hope your tea party goes well. Cheers from Chicago!
Hello to Edingburgh from Munich (Bavaria). Like your style, voice and savoir vivre. A beauty surrounding, creates a beauty selfie ... wish you all the best .. many real friends by your side and protect you heart!
Hello Nicholas, yes I did enjoy your vlog. For that matter I like all of your vlogs. I too enjoy antiquing especially in small towns and non-touristy out of the way places. One can manage to unearth a great find. Carrot cake is one of my most favorite cakes. It has been a cold and rainy day in LA. I managed to do some baking myself. I baked 2doz chocolate chocolate chip cookies and 2doz simple white cake cupcakes with dried cranberries. Stay well.👍🙏😎
My weakness Nicholas everything antique. So enjoyed the. Video. Presently helping a friend who purchased a large mansion in Vancouver British Columbia Canada. Thinking of a buying trip to Scotland and London in the spring , Thankyou for another inspirational video. Godspeed, Jeffrey Skinner. 🇨🇦✅
I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful antiques. I especially loved the doll house, as I absolutely adore miniatures. You inspired me to finally start painting and decorating a doll house I purchased many years ago. I hope you purchase one someday and you do a series of videos on it. Btw, as usual, Sophie is so adorable!
Those tulips are amazing!!! This year my phrase to live by for not just the year but from now on is - Let it be - and have unapologetic amounts of floral beauty or art decor beauty in my life.
Awesome haul at the antique store. Lovely pictures and view of the tables chairs and lanterns and other things. Thank you for the recipe of carrot cup cakes I love when you bake cakes and sweets. . My favorite is Sophie she is the star of the show. Nice to see her with you. As a sweetheart you are so beautiful to her . She was so relaxed in her sofa. You too are very blessed to have her around. Thank you for the book 📚📚📚❤❤you have nice books to read . God bless you today 🙏🙏🙏 praying for you and your family. Stay strong and positive. God bless you.
I think Sophie was a little disappointed you didn't buy some Staffordshire dogs but the carrot cake icing made up for it. She's absolutely adorable, such a peaceful joyful little soul!
Absolutely lovely and I loved and adored the feeling the cozy feeling of you at home towards the end with your beautiful flower arrangement, and your tea and your cupcake. And specially Sofi sitting next to you all cozy and cuddled up on the sofa and sharing that cupcake with you it was just delightful. Absolutely amazing, give me such a warm feeling. I just adore Sofi and your warm loving adorable relationship.
Hello dear sweet Nicolas Your pup is so well behaved. I just love listening to you voice!! It is so calm and soothing. I love watching you bake and it makes me want to make all, especially your birthday cake. My son also is gay and I love him so much! He reminds me of you. I hope he finds someone just like you to love. Much love to you. Catherine from Utah
Hi Nicolas Regarding the girls straw hat in your video. There is an actress Joanne Froggatt who was in Downton Abbey. It would be interesting if it was hers.
Thank you, Nicolas. I was looking for something to do today and shopping for antiques was just the ticket 😊 I actually went furniture shopping yesterday, so we are certainly on the same page. I have a lot of antiques and other traditional items I don’t want to remove, but I need to do a re-fresh/re-arrange. So yesterday was an inspiration day. Today I am taking photos to get a perspective of how things look and deciding what to change. Happy February, cheers!
So very happy to see you again! Your vlogs "disappeared" for a long while even though l'm a subscriber! You look great and so does your apartment! Looking forward to seeing you on a regular basis! I'm going to search for the "Cake" episode; it sounds wonderful! Take care, your friend in Kansas City, Tom ♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎉🎉🎉
At 06:12, the two items on the far left middle shelf appear to be a pair of Georgian knife boxes, either mahogany or walnut. As mentioned before, they would look good in a dining room. As time when on, many of them had been converted to stationery storage boxes, so in this case, it could be a stylish storage box in an office/study. They are relatively inexpensive in the UK. To the right of them, the urn-type container looks like either a Georgian tea caddy or knife box. At 09:38 there are a couple of vintage Anglepoise lamps--a brilliant design still used and sold today.
Beautiful 😍 love the doll house remind me when i was young and my mother bought it for me from london famous children shop forgot the shop name and took it all the way by plane from london to iraq i loved it very much 🥰🥰
My favorite parts of your videos are the recipe segments. When you were tasting the cupcake with Sophie and saying "it's a shame you can't have any" ---it gave me the idea that maybe you could do an episode with a dog-friendly baking project for Sophie to enjoy? I'm sure you have a lot of viewers with four-legged friends in their lives who might love to see that! Sophie reminds me of my dog, he is a Havanese named Yuuki. :)
Spent many hours at Georgian Antiques shopping for furnishings for Nunraw Tower, Garvald. The Dixon brothers and staff were so very gracious and helpful
Nicolas, you can cut a dessert or cake into individual slices wrap and freeze some of them. In the morning you take one slice out of the freezer and it should be room temp in no time. 😊
Nicolas, Grand Duchess of Edinburgh, whiling away the day among Georgian dollhouses, consoles, and boxes, baking magical cupcakes, and living the enchanted life of a magical fairy from Scotland.
Oh, Nicholas, What a treat you had in store for us this morning. After the very, very early morning encounter with one of my neighbors, it was delightful and calming watching your video. I love looking at antiques. The floral cabinet and the Wedgewood wardrobe were my favorites. Thank you for the calm and peace this Sunday! Have a lovely week. I'm moving a week from Monday, so I'll need the extra calm that you bring the day before!
I could wander arond an antique store all day and love it. If only the items there could tell the stories of where they've been. I'm into baking lately as well. I think it's the cold winter. Your cake looks delicious. Thank you Nicholas.
As soon as I saw that girls school hat with the name J. Froggatt, I thought of the English actress Joanne Froggatt from Downton Abbey. Lovely episode. So sweet that you gave Miss Sophie a taste of the frosting and a kiss. 🥰
A lovely video,such an interesting visit to explore the antique shop.The doll house was really something ! Your cupcakes look wonderful,I think I may make them. It’s so nice to see Sophie she’s so sweet .Thank you for taking us along.
Enjoyed this video, Nicholas. Love seeing Sophie, antique shop, really like the Doll House, and the dessert. I will definitely be making those cupcakes. They look so delicious. Please take us on more trips.
Gorgeous antiques 😊. Very nice recipe as well. Thank you for the tour. A design idea..golf clubs mounted on the wall with brackets spaced apart ..handle then club and the club to handle, make a beautiful book rack and very unique. I would use at least 6 clubs and yes you can paint them etc. lovely video ❤
I enjoyed antique shopping with you. I noticed there were so many dining room chairs and tables. Is the dining room becoming extinct in Scotland as it is in the USA? I reluctantly gave up my dining room and regret it now. I loved seeing my beautiful dishes and serving pieces on display rather than having them brought out once or twice a year. But I do love to see your elegant home and am happy you live beautifully.
Loved the antique store. Can you tell us more prices next time?? Just interesting to see. The cupcakes looked wonderful. Carrot cake is one of my favorites also. Thank you so much for sharing.
As an antique dealer of more years than i care to remember spent more than half my life in such antique places - that one seemed on the pricier side but lovely items / the mirrors tho indeed lovely were too pricey smaller places have better bargains ! The “wash pot” a chamber pot great these days to put plants in - the little table a stool for fishing or camping ! …, now is the time to buy “brown furniture “ as prices quite low bit find a good auction - thanks for sharing ❤
I've really enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking us along! That's a great shop! Imagine the fun you and Rajiv Surendra could have had together! I think you and he should work together on sprucing up that doll house!
The entire shop was amazing. I could spend all day in the curious section! The thrill of the hunt! Be still my heart! And now I want carrot cake!!! Thankfully my store sells a 4x4 inch slice. Just enough for two servings for myself. Portion control!
Your videos are lovely, Nicolas, but please, please consider steadier and slower camera work for those of us prone to motion sickness. It will also help us take in all the beautiful sights better and enjoy your soothing narration.
I just adore doll houses. I asked Santa and my parents for one every Christmas and birthday. Thru my wishlist taped to my bedroom door. At 21! my brother bought me one. He hot glued it together the night before, including full sheets of roof tiles that should have been individual. Omg. But I finally got one. I did my best to fix it up. My nieces enjoyed it for a bit. I gave it to a friend with a daughter. It’s probably in the dump now. But I’ve been thinking about doing another. I get so much joy from miniatures. Ok. Long prelude but if you want to do a dollhouse, just buy a basic kit to start. 😅💐💞
Did you know that you can beautifully freeze cake? You can easily freeze it whole or in sections, fully decorated or not. The trick is to freeze it first, then wrap it! When ready to serve, unwrap the cake and allow it to thaw. It’s ready to serve & no one will know it’s been frozen. It’s magic!! No more “left over” dessert!
Greetings from New York, the J Froggot hat you picked up from a girls school could be Joann Froggot who played Anna Bate’s in downtown abbey🧐 very nice antique browsing video. I like boxes too. Many things can be stored in them. With baking use room temp eggs never over mix batter as the gluten forms from flour. In pastry crusts use ice cold cubed butter and chill the bowl as well. Chill beaters as well. I learned this at age 18 from a French chef.An easy cake is chocolate mayonnaise cake which came from war era when supplies were mill. No oil and you don’t taste the mayonnaise either. And I always put a tiny stainless steel bowl with 1 cup water on the bottom shelf of the oven for moist cakes
WOW! Mr. Nicholas, your first camera shot of the bookcases and gorgeous furniture pieces in that shop gave me a palpitation!! What an amazing place!! You are so blessed to be near such a wondrous place. Thank you for sharing this and your wonderful cupcakes!! 🥰🥰
What a nice episode, Nicolas! I really enjoyed it 😊 And Sophie is so cute 🥰 It is lovely to see her ❤ I love antiques and it was really nice to accompany you on your discovery tour. And I will definitely give a try to the carrot 🥕🧁Muffins. Thank you for your videos; they are getting better and better 💪👏👏
Nicolas, thank you. I really enjoyed going antiquing with you. It is one of my favorite hobbies as well. Carrot cake is my favorite cake, and your recipe looked easy and delicious. I really like seeing the connection you have with Sophie. Your love for her is quite obvious, and she is so devoted to you as well. This was a great video. Wishing you the best, Robert.
Thank you taking us to your antique shop! So interesting because I live in the USA. So difference from here! I saw so many things I would love to have!!
Thank you for a beautiful shopping experience. I love shopping with you.❤ Please more videos like this. I love antiquing but don't have the exquisite antique shops in this part of California. Love that you were allowed to take Sophie into the store. I adore her.❤❤❤

Hi. I say this with kindness, pronouncing words that end in ‘ing’ with a hard k sound is not elegant. Something not somethink.
🎩You looked so debonair in the handsome top hat😊. (Inherited a 🖤brilliant black bowler hat from merry old🏴England, but sadly it was too tiny for my big head🤣.)
You also made an attractive tableau enjoying your lovely 🍵tea & carrot cupcake🧁 with the enormous bouquet of white tulips🌷 too 👏🏻. Can't wait to try your recipe.
Outstanding glimpse👁👁 of Edinburgh at your opening sequence too. You're so fortunate to live in such a spectacular ancient city. Fascinated by 🏴Scotland's long history. The USA🇺🇸 is so young in comparison...
😘What an exciting shop tour. It's like visiting a living museum. It would be so captivating to learn the stories 📖 behind each & every item for sale❤. Adore Georgian furnishing & decor.
Antique shops are thin on the ground in 😎LA, but the few we do have are way outside my modest 💲price range anyway. It's possible to discover some special finds from 1900-1920, but 18-19th Century furnishings are more rare on the West Coast. Armoires certainly weren't dragged across the continent by covered 🐴wagon.
🎋You'll find more Chinese Foo Dogs (lion dogs) over Staffordshire dogs on our shelves. Been to some local auction houses here in my life where they featured some spectacular Victorian pieces. 😬Considerably easier to find a few antique road kill dressers & cabinets that need 🛠serious TLC.
Love it all, but vintage goods are more my speed❣️ Bless you❣️

Hello Nicolas, thank you for this beautiful video, it would be nice if you could show us more about these antique places, also houses with old books and castles enchanted with their legends, please Nicolas! it would be so nice to hear them narrated by you.
Loved this whole video thanks for including Sophy she is so cute i will be making your delicious caret cupcakes ❤
I hope you do more of these type of programs. Love seeing vintage shops and antiques that are worth seeing. Thanks!
Your thumbnail was everything!…The hat makes it!…Love this antiques episode and your interpretation of them but mostly I love how Sophie goes every where with you and the cute little kiss at the end….
Also I loved seeing you with your baby Sophie at home. You are a great Dad!!❤❤

It's so cute how Sophie looks at you as you're speaking haha 💕
Those wooden gift boxes are simply divine. Thank you for taking us along.
The hat looks perfect with your coat! looks good on you, makes you look like an "English gentleman", ......which you are!! ❤England is a wonderful place to get some beautiful pieces❤ cupcakes are easily freezable also, just put in little sandwhich sized freezer bags and you can pull them out the night before for a nice egg, bacon muffin breakfast!, mmm yummy! You could use cut squares of parchment paper, then you would have more room. Thanks for sharing!
It’s not England, it’s Scotland. Completely different country
Great vlog! Baking AND shopping?! Yes please. Sophie is so dignified in the antique store.
Thank you for taking us antiquing with you Nicolas. I love finding old treasures that just need a new owner to love them!
What a magnificent antique store😮I can't imagine taking Niko, my Siberian Husky there. Sophie was so well behaved. I am with you, I love carrot cake as well. Keep practicing your baking.
Another thumbs up for a great video Nicolas! Your videos are a treasure to me, and I thank you so much.

Sophie is just so adorable ❤
Such a great way to start a Sunday morning! Thank you Nicholas ❤
J Froggart went on to become Anna in Downton Abbey(okay, I fanaticised that one, probably not!)
How delightful! I have a date with a friend this very afternoon to scour our favorite antique stores for beautiful, useful things! Certainly adds to my anticipatory mood, TY!
I love antique shops and markets like that. Thank you for taking us along
These tulips...🌷And Sophie 💕
I would need at least 3 hours and bring a lunch when visiting. Maybe add an additional hour to talk myself out of buying too many items. ;)
Sounds great!
This is great! Very fun and interesting. I loved the boxes, desks, shelves, china, and that dollhouse! Thank you.

Georgian Antiques sell a lot of their stuff to north America. But make sure you ask for at least 10% off the stated price wherever you buy in the UK.
I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful antiques. I especially loved the doll house, as I absolutely adore miniatures. You inspired me to finally start painting and decorating a doll house I purchased many years ago. I hope you purchase one someday and you do a series of videos on it. Btw, as usual, Sophie is so adorable!
I loved antiquing with you! The small partners deal withe the orange top caught my eye! Charming! loved all the floors! Cupcakes were divine!😊
Those tulips are amazing!!! This year my phrase to live by for not just the year but from now on is - Let it be - and have unapologetic amounts of floral beauty or art decor beauty in my life.

Hi Nicolas
Regarding the girls straw hat in your video. There is an actress Joanne Froggatt who was in Downton Abbey. It would be interesting if it was hers.
Wow 👏
I was just about to write the same comment! Maybe it is hers?...
so relaxing, perfect for Sunday evening, thank you for sharing with us
How nice that you took us antiquing with you. Was a pleasure indeed ❤
Hi Nicolas, enjoyed antiquing with you. I also thought the two chairs would look nice in your apartment.❤

Beautiful 😍 love the doll house remind me when i was young and my mother bought it for me from london famous children shop forgot the shop name and took it all the way by plane from london to iraq i loved it very much 🥰🥰
I think the shop you refer to is Hamleys in Regent Street ?
@@tedlolohowl2367 yes it is 😍..i asked my big sister and told me the shop name ..thanks for your comment 💐💐
The selection of antiques in the shop you shared is amazing.
Those white tulips are to die for, so my taste!
Your voice is very calming, I loved the video!💕

I love looking at antiques. The floral cabinet and the Wedgewood wardrobe were my favorites. Thank you for the calm and peace this Sunday! Have a lovely week. I'm moving a week from Monday, so I'll need the extra calm that you bring the day before!
Very enjoyable video, from the antiques to the cupcakes with tea!🫖 thank you, Nicolas. Love from Mexico 🇲🇽❤️🇬🇧
I could wander arond an antique store all day and love it. If only the items there could tell the stories of where they've been. I'm into baking lately as well. I think it's the cold winter. Your cake looks delicious. Thank you Nicholas.
Nicolas , thank you so much ❤
As soon as I saw that girls school hat with the name J. Froggatt, I thought of the English actress Joanne Froggatt from Downton Abbey.
Lovely episode. So sweet that you gave Miss Sophie a taste of the frosting and a kiss. 🥰
Thank you for taking us with you to this amazing place for antique lovers who I definitely am!!! And by the way, you look great in the hat!
Hello again
Thanks for sharing this beautiful Old unique things 💕
Always Old is gold
Have a great weekend and healthy.
A lovely video,such an interesting visit to explore the antique shop.The doll house was really something ! Your cupcakes look wonderful,I think I may make them. It’s so nice to see Sophie she’s so sweet .Thank you for taking us along.
Please do make the cupcakes, they are delicious!
That girl's hat... J Froggatt brings to mind Joanna Froggatt - the actress who played Anna Bates in Downton Abbey. Imagine if it was hers!
Lovely seeing Sophie too.
She's the sweetest!
Enjoyed this video, Nicholas. Love seeing Sophie, antique shop, really like the Doll House, and the dessert. I will definitely be making those cupcakes. They look so delicious. Please take us on more trips.
Thank u so much I love your antique shopping vids so much I get to see things I would never see else where and the hat looked well on u
Gorgeous antiques 😊. Very nice recipe as well. Thank you for the tour. A design idea..golf clubs mounted on the wall with brackets spaced apart ..handle then club and the club to handle, make a beautiful book rack and very unique. I would use at least 6 clubs and yes you can paint them etc. lovely video ❤
You should read “The Miniaturist” by Jessie Burton if you like dollhouses
I enjoyed antique shopping with you. I noticed there were so many dining room chairs and tables. Is the dining room becoming extinct in Scotland as it is in the USA? I reluctantly gave up my dining room and regret it now. I loved seeing my beautiful dishes and serving pieces on display rather than having them brought out once or twice a year. But I do love to see your elegant home and am happy you live beautifully.
Loved looking around the antique shop, The hat looked rather spiffing on you.🥰👍
Loved the antique store. Can you tell us more prices next time?? Just interesting to see. The cupcakes looked wonderful. Carrot cake is one of my favorites also. Thank you so much for sharing.
As an antique dealer of more years than i care to remember spent more than half my life in such antique places - that one seemed on the pricier side but lovely items / the mirrors tho indeed lovely were too pricey smaller places have better bargains ! The “wash pot” a chamber pot great these days to put plants in - the little table a stool for fishing or camping ! …, now is the time to buy “brown furniture “ as prices quite low bit find a good auction - thanks for sharing ❤
When I saw J. Froggatt inside that hat, I immediately thought of Joanne Froggatt (Anna on Downton Abbey)
Hi . Really enjoyed this video . ...love going looking at antiques. ....there's always a jewel to catch your eye
I've really enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking us along! That's a great shop! Imagine the fun you and Rajiv Surendra could have had together! I think you and he should work together on sprucing up that doll house!
The entire shop was amazing. I could spend all day in the curious section! The thrill of the hunt! Be still my heart! And now I want carrot cake!!! Thankfully my store sells a 4x4 inch slice. Just enough for two servings for myself. Portion control!
Your videos are lovely, Nicolas, but please, please consider steadier and slower camera work for those of us prone to motion sickness. It will also help us take in all the beautiful sights better and enjoy your soothing narration.
I will remember this for future! Thank you!
I love it when you take us antiquing. Lots of beautiful items. Next time please share the prices of the items you are looking at......Enjoyed.
I just adore doll houses. I asked Santa and my parents for one every Christmas and birthday. Thru my wishlist taped to my bedroom door. At 21! my brother bought me one. He hot glued it together the night before, including full sheets of roof tiles that should have been individual. Omg. But I finally got one. I did my best to fix it up. My nieces enjoyed it for a bit. I gave it to a friend with a daughter. It’s probably in the dump now. But I’ve been thinking about doing another. I get so much joy from miniatures. Ok. Long prelude but if you want to do a dollhouse, just buy a basic kit to start. 😅💐💞
Charming story! Thank you!
Did you know that you can beautifully freeze cake? You can easily freeze it whole or in sections, fully decorated or not. The trick is to freeze it first, then wrap it! When ready to serve, unwrap the cake and allow it to thaw. It’s ready to serve & no one will know it’s been frozen. It’s magic!! No more “left over” dessert!
Cupcake tin liners! Great to start seeing you again - Missed you*
Greetings from New York, the J Froggot hat you picked up from a girls school could be Joann Froggot who played Anna Bate’s in downtown abbey🧐 very nice antique browsing video. I like boxes too. Many things can be stored in them.
With baking use room temp eggs never over mix batter as the gluten forms from flour. In pastry crusts use ice cold cubed butter and chill the bowl as well. Chill beaters as well. I learned this at age 18 from a French chef.An easy cake is chocolate mayonnaise cake which came from war era when supplies were mill. No oil and you don’t taste the mayonnaise either. And I always put a tiny stainless steel bowl with 1 cup water on the bottom shelf of the oven for moist cakes
My aunt always made her chocolate cakes with mayonnaise. Incredibly delicious!😍🇨🇦
Titanic vibes, and I love it. ❤ You can't imagine how much I ADORE your videos. Greetings from Mexico.
So happy to hear that! Thank you!
The gray hat looks great on you.
Oh Nicholas-I WANT TO VISIT THAT SHOP!!! It is fabulous!!
WOW! Mr. Nicholas, your first camera shot of the bookcases and gorgeous furniture pieces in that shop gave me a palpitation!! What an amazing place!! You are so blessed to be near such a wondrous place. Thank you for sharing this and your wonderful cupcakes!! 🥰🥰
You look like a gentleman from an earlier age. Love it….. In the US they are called Demi lune tables.
Hope you purchased the hat 🎩 Nicholas
Very Mr Darcy you definitely suited it 👌
Hi Nicholas it’s really amazing what you find in your local antique shop because you can get some amazing finds
What a nice episode, Nicolas! I really enjoyed it 😊 And Sophie is so cute 🥰 It is lovely to see her ❤
I love antiques and it was really nice to accompany you on your discovery tour. And I will definitely give a try to the carrot 🥕🧁Muffins.
Thank you for your videos; they are getting better and better 💪👏👏
Nicolas, thank you. I really enjoyed going antiquing with you. It is one of my favorite hobbies as well. Carrot cake is my favorite cake, and your recipe looked easy and delicious. I really like seeing the connection you have with Sophie. Your love for her is quite obvious, and she is so devoted to you as well. This was a great video. Wishing you the best, Robert.
Thank you taking us to your antique shop! So interesting because I live in the USA. So difference from here! I saw so many things I would love to have!!
Thank you for a beautiful shopping experience. I love shopping with you.❤ Please more videos like this. I love antiquing but don't have the exquisite antique shops in this part of California. Love that you were allowed to take Sophie into the store. I adore her.❤❤❤
Carrot cake with pineapple included is sumptuous and moist!
So much fun hunting for treasures. You never know what you may find. I love carrot cake as well. Perfect with a cup of tea. 💕Sweet Sophie.
