Ok I’m less than a minute in but just want say how lovely it is to have you back! Happy birthday Sarah!! And OMG how accomplished is Vivienne as a porcelain painter, that’s not remotely easy!! You are all so talented and understated, aside from your flamboyant choice of houses of course 😀🥰🥂🌟💜
Happy birthday, Sarah. That hat cracks me up 😂 Simon and Vivienne sure do know how to put on a wonderful soirée. Looks like your trip to Paris was a big success and you had a lot of fun shopping for fabrics I loved all the all your choices. Museé D’Orsay one of my favorite museums , too. Thank you for showing us more of Paris. There’s always so much to see. There’s never enough time to see everything in one trip.
🍾Birthday party, classic cars,🚘 beautiful fabrics, museums, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, a vineyard, walking in the footsteps of legends...what more could anyone want? Boy, you two are living the life! Enjoy! ❤️
I love your channel! You always take the time to invite us along on your journeys. I appreciate the unique style you use in your colorful videos! Keep up the great work!
This vlog took me to my Happy Place , the fabrics love love , the museum , the art , the fabulous church etc .. Steve thank you for the tour , Happy Birthday Sarah .. I love your choices , spent many years in wholesale with such beautiful traditional, formal, Designer fabrics.
Happy Birthday, Sara! A trip to Paris is a lovely way to celebrate! I agree with Stephen, Sacré Coeur and Montmartre were definitely favorites of mine and a must see, along with a ride up the Eiffel Tower! Paris is truly a magical city, rich in history and beauty! Thanks for igniting some wonderful memories!
Happy birthday Sara! Beautiful party ,Dinner and gift from your lovely friends. The art museum is magnificent! Elegant and fine material you purchased. I really enjoy the beauty and architecture you've shown us. The car show was great. Enjoyed. Blessings.
What a lovely weekend you will have had with Vivienne and Simon, sharing all your combined passions and ideas for making your Chateaux a thing of beauty! Happy happy Birthday Sarah!🎂💖 The fabric you bought for your bedroom curtains is stunning as are the other purchases for the cushions. Can’t wait to see them up - (no pressure though?).😅 Thanks for taking us on your holiday and also thanks Steve for the Jaguar snippet. My late brother in law had a collection of seven classic Jaguars and a particular beauty was an ‘E type’ in racing green!🥰
Oh my! The Musée d'Orsay is simply stunning. I absolutely love the Art Nouveau style and I cannot wait to see what you are able to do at your château. It is my dream to return to France after many years, but I have to make it back to the UK first. Paris will always hold my heart ♥. A very Happy Birthday to you, Sarah! 💕
Just gorgeous if I may say, the opening table setting and tableau….stunning …the bird plate and charger literally took my breath away. I love the birthday gift wall hanging. I’m sure it will find a great place in your chateau. Really enjoyed seeing the cars and could almost see Steve slobbering…🤪 Fabrics are so pretty …. love your channel … watching from PA, USA.
Happy Birthday Sara! The vlog was delightful. Loved seeing your shopping and art adventures. Looking forward to seeing the drapes and pillows from your haul! Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday, Sara! Great Vlog today; I loved the content; old cars, Montmartre, the Musee d'Orsay, and a fabric store!!. Greetings from Lookout Mountain, Tennessee.🤩
Bonjour Steve and Sarah Happy Birthday Sarah Simon and Vivienne such gracious generous friends the gift just exquisite along with the cake table setting💖👌Steve knows his cars walking down memory lane now my passion fabrics bolts rolls floors full huge choice just fabulous the purchases 👌The art gallery highest view point my day is full I wish you a long birthday celebration Sarah Merci beaucoup my loves💖💖😘😘👌👌🌟🌟🍸🍸Enchante
Years ago, a friend of our asked my husband if he could store a vehicle for him at our house in BC, like he had done before, and he said 'sure''. Well, the next day a beautiful Shelby arrived at our house. Over the next few years, we had quite a few vintage cars stored in our garage, and hubby always said what else could a Englishman want!
How crazy, I was just thinking the same about L'Art Nouveau period. I rarely see it anywhere. Here in the US we see Victorian styles like East Lake and loads of Deco, but rarely Nouveau. What a shame. The Alexander Palace has some really beautiful Nouveau influences thanks to Nicolas and Alexandra. Stephanie's friends Oliver and Camilla Strong have a fabulous Nouveau mansion en Catalonia, Espana. The walls, the floors, the ceilings, the whole one of a kind home is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for bringing us along for the tour of Musée d'Orsay. It was really a treat.
Thank you for making this lovely video, a reminder of our happy weekend together and loads of inspiration for all things “Belle Époque”! Much love you both, and especially to the beautiful birthday girl. 🥰🥰💖💖🥂 🥂🎉🎉🎂🎂🍾
Thoroughly enjoyable, something for everyone. From textiles to furniture to automobiles. We enjoyed Sarah’s birthday as much as she did. Happy Birthday from New York.
Fabulous vlog! Firstly, Happy Birthday Sara and what a wonderful Birthday you had! Steve, I loved your commentary whilst wandering around Montmartre and Sacre-Coeur. I hope that you and Sara went back to watch the sunset over Paris from Sacre-Coeur. Musee d'Orsay is probably the most beautiful gallery we have ever visited. I'm not sure if the restaurants are still open in there, but we had lunch upstairs amongst the gargoyles, spent the afternoon wandering around the Musee and then had dinner on the main floor in what has to be the most beautiful restaurant we have ever eaten in. We loved it so much that we brought our son and his girlfriend to dine there the 2nd time we visited. Having travel envy from Vancouver Island! Merci.
Thank you for this lovely reminder. We were in Paris in 1989 for the 200th Bastille festivities. We toured everything. We saw the fireworks from Sacre Coeur. I was impressed by how large Whistler's Mother is. Our Hotel was in Montmartre and I walked the alleyways bargaining for Limoge. I loved the city. Thank you again for the lovely reminder.
Next time you have a celebration take a trip to Belgium to visit the Victor Horta house in Brussels and Cogels- Osylei in Antwerp where there is a whole street with gorgeous art nouveau houses.
I ADORE the fabrics they are SO beautiful! I want to thank you two from the bottom of my heart! First Stephanie (and Michael also), now the two of you, I have seen places I NEVER would have imagined at this point in my life I would EVER see!! 🤗😘
Love love y’all! I lived overseas while growing up and I always enjoyed walking over the cobble stone (maybe not so much now, lol) and visiting so much history! Love it! Hugs and love from Texas!
Wonderful from start to finish . . . Perfect birthday memories to treasure. My dream is to have access to lovely, quality fabrics . . . I would have melted on the spot Sarah; indeed a happy spot! Loved the early morning tour . . . Brought back memories of my daughter and I climbing those steps in 2005. . . Not sure my knees could make it now. Lovely, lovely video!!!
Hello from Australia. I have always loved fabrics, table and bed linens and much like you Sara have made many curtains, cushions, bedding and clothes. Unfortunately not a lot of fabric shops here. Thank you for sharing your shopping trip.
Happy belated birthday Sara, love that you have become such good friends with Vivienne and Simon they are such lovely people.........can’t wait to see what you do with the material you bought..........Donna in Toronto

I love Art Nouveau, especially in furniture. The French did it best. It would be great to fill a home with furniture and decor from that era.
Delightful video…..thanks a million ‼️

Happy Birthday, Sarah, what a spectacular way to celebrate, in Paris 🎂
‘No car like a Simca’ was an advertisement in Australia many years ago.
Thank you for this lovely reminder. We were in Paris in 1989 for the 200th Bastille festivities. We toured everything. We saw the fireworks from Sacre Coeur. I was impressed by how large Whistler's Mother is. Our Hotel was in Montmartre and I walked the alleyways bargaining for Limoge. I loved the city. Thank you again for the lovely reminder.
