- Welcome to my European Sourcing Trip series! This fall, I spent nine days in Europe do some vintage shopping/sourcing for my Etsy shop. I thrifted in Amsterdam, Bruges and Brussels, and found so many amazing pieces. Belgium really does have the most amazing thrift stores! In this episode I shopped one of the largest flea markets in Europe with over 700 vendors. I ran into Laura Caldwell and Abigail's Artful Abode while I was there which made the experience more special. Links to Etsy below.
Places I shopped in this video:

Such beautiful things, but the midcentury daisy painting in the red/orange tones is phenomenol. So, so good! I would love to have found that. Great addition to your home, Andi.
Wow! That was the most amazing market that I've ever seen. I LOVE, LOVE all the art but the frames are EXQUISITE!!!
@@linda-mw5vt The stuff in Europe is unreal. ❤️ editing the video made me want to go back asap.
Congrats on 1000+ sales in your Etsy shop, Andi!
Thank you so much for noticing!! It was a wonderful thing to wake up to. I feel so grateful.
Fabulous market, brilliant haul.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for blessing us with this amazing distraction from the dumpster fire of life haha 🫶
Haha my pleasure! ;)
I think your painting of Mary might be of saint Lucia, the only saint we celebrate in scandinavia. We make a parade in church or school halls or kindergarden with girls dressed as Lucia ( these days boys are included too) with a headwreath in greens but now also candles on the wreath. Very beautiful celebration
I will have to look her up!! ❤️
I love that wooden box and of course the brass lady. Paintings are gorgeous.
OH my GOSH!!! What a great market and amazing finds!
Hi Andi! Good morning! I really enjoyed seeing this amazing market through your eyes. So many things I missed! Loved, loved, loved the art you found, especially the stunning red mid century piece that you are keeping. I was so thrilled to meet you, and enjoy a bit of time at the market with you. Have to thank Abigail for that. ❤🤩
It was so lovely to meet you too! I so wish I could have bought more. We will all have to meet up somewhere next year! I’m considering Lille next year!
Sounds great! Nothing can prepare you for Lille. It's huge! I think i only covered a third of the market over two days.
I love everything that you found. That was amazing. Great video. 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh. My. Gosh.
I want every single piece! Top choices: Bronze Mary (duh!); Large painting of Mary (Our Lady of Lourdes) sigh; the fish kitchen painting; dog painting; fruit still life set. Oh Andi, I am dying! ❤❤❤
Haha it was torture going through the footage again. So many things I would buy!
Oh my goodness… I desperately want to go to this market! Such amazing finds! The art and frames are so delectable! 😍🤤
It was so good!!
Thank you! Enjoyed this so much! My favorite part was your dad bringing you guys your bags and water! What a guy! ❤
Thank god for him! He had to carry so many things. Haha
The dark moody floral with pomegranates is my favorite item! The market was so fun to look at--so many incredible pieces.
I wish I would have bought more!!
Beautiful finds my favorite is the small floral your keeping it’s beautiful ❤the colors are stunning
I actually decided to list and kept another one! I wanted to keep them all! 😭🤭
I love the little tiny candleabra and the brass bell and the small brass trinket box. Face it, I love it all!
Looking back I wish I would have bought more!
Ughhhhh, so many beautiful things!! Makes me want to hop back on a plane and head back there. The Zan Feesten was amazing for sure but all in all that whole area of Europe was incredible, so much gorgeousness. Thanks for the mention, next year let's hang out in Lille as well!
Yes! That market is on my list now!
Can't wait to move to Europe! Thanks for sharing I was salivating over all the goodies!
I used to live in Belgium for 7 years. Everything is soooo affordable! You've inspired me to go back and visit and do some shopping!
You should!!
Loved this video, Andi! The paintings are all so good, I’m so jealous! 🤩
One day we should meet up at a big market in Europe!
@ I’d love that!!
So many lovely pieces to choose from!
I moved to Europe so I can now buy more stuff hahah, I also sell on Etsy haha. This video came in my life at the right time! Thank you!
I’m so jealous!! Every time I go it kills me to leave stuff behind.
The wooden statue 21:15 would look so cool on top of an electric rotating base!
The wall sconce was stunning. You should come to the phoenix area if you like vintage floral paintings. The marble feet 😍 I love the unique items.
Great video love everything you bought, especially the art. My favorite is the dog and fall scene. Being an amateur artist and collector myself I just can’t stop buying art even though I’ve run out of wall space ❤
Art at European markets is next level. It's my favorite part about going.
Hi sweety.
I went twice to the Zandfeesten this summer.
I live in Belgium. I hope you had a grate time
Had the best time! I loved Belgium, especially Bruges. It was magical.
@AllPutTogether my favorite city in our country. I went to school in Gent and lived in Brussels for a while
I love all of the artwork you found❣️Thanks for sharing
The painting with the pomegranates is beautiful.
Have you ever done a packing video while shopping abroad? I would love to see how to get all these great finds home!😀❤❤
Next video will have some tips!
for your information, those are not marble bookends but they are part of an art-deco mantle clock set. the clock in the same style would go in between :)
Walked that market in September. So many treasures.
Hi! Beautiful items you purchased. Tfs
I was in France last week and found so many lovely things at the local thrift stores, I had to buy an extra suitcase to bring everything home to Canada! 😂
I can only imagine how amazing thrift stores in France would be!!
I'm from Belgium, but was never on that Flea-market. I'll have to go next summer !
@@anfran5217 You should!! It was fantastic.
My ancesters are Belgiun and I love the video and the stuff you found.
Such an amazing haul! Heading to Europe in July. Would love to visit that market!
You should!!
Thank you for sharing this!
What a great market! I would have stuffed my suitcase full of all those amazing fonts!! The floral painting is stunning. I would say "still life" instead of "fruit landscape".....lol. Great video
@@lilirehak5569 haha you’re so right! Sometimes I just have to go with the words my mouth says. 🤭
Grate finds!
I might buy a piece of taxidermy next year.
I looked at that wicker horse and said to myself … “ Stop it … how will Andi get these beast into the overhead locker ? “😂😂😂
Haha I was very tempted!!!
Baumgartner Restorations for your painting!
Andi, Walter Bosse could be the artist of the brass fish large mouth mid century tobacco ashtray???💞💞🙃💞💞
Another great video❤, please do a video on how to sell on Etsy ❤
It’s on my list for possible next month. There is just so much to share it’s hard to figure out how to structure it.
Nice finds
Where will you selling the fall painting with the damage, and for how much. Checked Etsy but not posted there yet anyway. I love your channel.
I actually just listed it: allputtogethershop.etsy.com/listing/1823243393. :)
As I have a trip with Laura Caldwell in my bucket list for someday, I am wondering how on earth you packed all of this? Any video for a tutorial, please?
The next video will talk about packing!
This is not the largest flea market in Belgiuml! That honour goes to Temploux.
I wouldn't call this a "flea market" either. Rather, it is an antique market, with prices to match! Here in Belgium, we always make that distinction. Flea markets attract thrift shoppers. Antique markets attract collectors.
I need to go find the flea markets next time!
How does customs handle bags of items like this? Do you have to disclose you are a reseller?
I think the wicker animal is a seahorse xx
I think so too. And Andi, have you ever seen a wicker seahorse? I doubt it, so if you knew what it is, would you have bought it & shipped it home? 😂
I haven’t! Now I wish I could have brought it home!
The wicker animal was a seahorse!!!
I can’t believe I didn’t see it! Thank you!
Did you sell the fish art??👀
Pretty sure the marble disc pair were clock garnitures rather than book ends... You see a lot of them without the clocks in European flea markets...
I had to tell you about the candles I found. They were vintage. Probably 80's. New. Burgundy. 9¾". But the fun part was I got them for a quarter each and the original price was also a quarter each. Lol.
Too funny! Burgundy anything is hot right now so great score!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
The wicker animal can also be a kangaroo? But yeah with the mane and lead rope detail, could be a horse too
I think it's a seahorse.
@AllPutTogether I know you're the crazy Cross lady. Do you watch Thrifting Vegas? She found a cross she called African style with twine, it's actually Opus Dei, a fanatical secret society within the Roman Catholic Church. The "twine" was supposed to be the chains with sharp metal hooks they use to torture themselves. What a creepy Goodwill find. Definitely worth a lot to the right collector or medieval torture museum 😂
I will have to check out that episode!
@AllPutTogether it's at 10 minutes 50 seconds. I almost busted a gut when she said it's African themed. 😂 Have you watched The Davinci Code? The bad guy was Opus Dei and would wear the chains with spikes and whip himself for his sins. They're nuts
This doesn't look like a fkea market, but I've never been there. This isn't what an east coast flea market looks like. Beautiful pieces. My favorites were the rugs.
Omg I’d like to buy the dog art frame?! Please
It sold right away to a regular buyer. Sorry!
Oh my goodness… I desperately want to go to this market! Such amazing finds! The art and frames are so delectable! 😍🤤
It was worth it. And Bruges is magical.
