dear lord who would lack the manners to comment about the table cloth not being ironed???? mamma mia! that porcelain is lovely! so colorful!!! so happy you snatched it up!

hey Fellas , Thanks for sharing your finds with us. The plates are so beautiful and it is nice that they will be used and loved for decades to come :)

What fun items! And game night is ready to please just about anyone now. 🙂♥️ A pretty little piece of furniture too.

My parents came to America from Germany after the war and we always had soup before Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner and it was always delicious. Unfortunately my sister-in-law and I don’t do that.

Change the purpose of the soup bowls to salad bowls and you'll use them much more frequently and get to enjoy them. I vary all kinds of uses for my china. They could even make a nice pasta dish. Good find!

Wonderful haul of unique dishes. Especially like the ones with musicians on them. The dressing table is beautiful too. The curtain has a very pretty design that you can use in so many ways. So happy that you get a break from the hard work and enjoy an auction. Good times ❤

I have some of those plates!!! The ones with the birds. And too some Quimper. I’m green with envy. I love, love, love the musicians! And that build up of dust doesn’t take that long to accumulate. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

If you want to restore the little lid with the broken knob you can use a product called Milliput. It is a two component epoxy putty that you can knead into shape and it sticks to your damaged porcellain and becomes hard and waterproof. I used it a lot on damaged old earthenware and china. You can get it in various colors, white, blue, silver, terracotta, yellow and black and you can even mix them to get other colors. It is not expensive and really great stuff, even sticks on wood if you want to restore a missing piece of woodcarving.

I also wanted to mention that we use our soup bowls as PASTA BOWLS! It's a perfect combo... Cheers!

Plates are beautiful and table clothes are always wrinked!

I love all the old games and the beautiful china! Alex would be in heaven playing the games.

What a wonderful haul of table ware, and the little dressing table is such a good find

Your purchases are wonderful. And the old games are quite beautiful. So now I know what you will be doing after dinner with all of your spare time!!! Ha ha! I love the plates with the unique patterns and the monogrammed tablecloth is a lovely gift. It must be fun purchasing items from other chateaus. As always, it was a fun video and always nice seeing you both. Hugs.

Love your wonderful new (old) dishes. Even the dusty and cracked plates that have hung on the walls of that beautiful old Chateau - imagine the lives those dishes have witnessed. And now they have all new and wonderful adventures to observe from your walls. Great episode!

Oh Happy Day!!! I hope everyone is doing GREAT!!! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🎶🎶🎶🏰 I love the opening video and music to your episodes!!! 🎶🎶🎶🥰❤️🇨🇦

Aloha Patrick and Stuart, thank you for this gorgeous video. Oh, the Earth Wear! Perfect music and lovely table cloth 🏰!

That was so funny I admired the table cloth thinking that could do with an iron at the same time as you both popped up and told me don’t mention that it needs ironing🤣🤣🤣

Love the china and the board games, they will be lovely to put in a quiet corner for visitors to discover.

Fabulous treasures. Love the games set 😊

I would love exploring the Chateaus around France. The hand painted dishes are beautiful. Dashing out the door, but so enjoyed my morning cup of tea with you. 😘😘

Putting the table together with your new place settings was so beautiful. Very elegant on a monogramed table cloth. Very nice !!! Enjoy

Oh my are those dishes beautiful Patrick and Stuart. Lovely tablecloth too, cherished gift. The games are so nice and I’ll bring fun to all that play. Before TV and Internet… what a concept… Have a lovely weekend coming up to the both of you . ❤❤❤

Love the old antiques roadshow theme tune! ☺️

The French Monopoly game and gaming collection were my favorite buys. The dishes looked like faïence to me. They can be quite collectable.👍

I loved all the crockery, could you hear me saying ‘wow’ ? It looks beautiful on the table and is destined to provide no end of pleasure - especially to the diners eating from it! Take care xx

Wonderful hand painted dishes ..They will be appreciated from friends,family ,when set..

The china with the birds is especially nice and looked wonderful in the table setting. The embroidered table cloth is beautiful. The drapery fabric is lovely, unsure what your plans are with it. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli

I loved your auction finds. I really enjoy seeing mixed crockery table settings and your new finds are both similar and different. I succumbed to my auction fix this morning as well. Oh dear, it’s obviously catching! 🤣😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The plates are a great addition to your lovely table setting.

Lovely dishes with the birds, and the tablecloth is beautiful. Glad you're not having to make jam this week , you needed a break

Hello from Calgary! It’s very exciting that I get to watch you live … I’m going to enjoy this.🥰

Interesting patterns on the dishes. Heaven forbid that the tablecloth is wrinkled. LOL. So interesting seeing your “haul” . Must have been alot of fun bidding and winning

What beautiful dinnerware! I’m a sucker for birds, I would have snatched those up too. See you Friday! ❤

That was a great buy. Lots of dishes now! That tablecloth is beautiful. I would definitely be putting a clear plastic over it if it was mine. I would never complain about the wrinkles. I knew you were just setting up for a showing. My goodness, it looks like a big clean of that stuff wasn't done for a long time. It was nice to meet your friend. ❤

Good morning Patrick & Stuart, The chateau de Soulge looks so beautiful and the mazing trees on the property, I wish that woman all the best. She has set a target hopefully she will reach it! Again, the items you bought are fabulous, such beautiful porcelain, a good ice breaker at the table, I was thinking, it will be so smart with a view candles and flowers. The 'old' stuff is so grand. I find with the cotton fabric after washing to iron whilst still damp and believe it or not, starch it lightly!! Yes, I can't believe I thought of starch, still iron whilst damp. Why I mentioned this, I don't know as you are on top of all your house projects, but there you go. I looked at the 'dirty' plates and thought, a bit of soaking in some hot soapy water and they will be as clean as a whistle. Soap and water works for everything. Your Dutch visitor looks so nice and I can picture her here in S. Africa. So many people of Europe came to settle here, so I am quite familiar with their looks and their culture. Life can be so interesting, it depends how we view things. That vanity table is so nice, a bit of sanding or cleaning will make it looks brand new. How about placing that in your project room you are working on right now. It is such a space saver, and it looks delicate, so it won't be in use every day of the year. Thank you for sharing your chateau life with us, I am still enjoying the journey with your and Stuart, new happenings all the time. Be happy as always, many blessing, kind regards, Elize

Omg i was just thinking table cloth wrinkled but i wasnt going to post that comment and not even 1 minute later you say yes we no table cloth is wrinkled...how funny great minds think a like love the new purchased

That was on the wall for a long time ……had me in stitches Stuart! 😂😂😂 And you are so right Patrick, soup is never a popular choice 😝😂😂😂 hence the good condition of the bowls 😉😂 It all looks amazing after a good wash. Table looked beautiful all set out to show us how it looks. See you Friday boys, take care 😘

You do like your bargains they did look good especially the table setting great volg guys cheers

Lovely dishes! You must have a large pantry to store them all. I LOVE the antique game boards!!

Hi gentlemen. We live a few minutes from Soulgé in Saint Georges sur Erve. 53600. We would love to get together some time for a meal or cup of tea. Your videos are very good. I am American and my wife is British. We live in an old presbytere

I truly enjoy your background music...Vivaldi...The Seasons.

I want to go shopping with you! You find the greatest things on your chateau shopping trips.

I love the "new" old dishes! They have an almost medieval feel to them, even if they are not that old! I don't see why you cannot mix and match... use what you like!

If anyone mentioned it needed ironing you could say come and do it. That's my attitude when anything needs doing and someone tells me.

Love the china you found! So pretty and the artist was very talented. Wonder how long it took to paint the set!

My husband and I have just come back from a week on our boat on the Thames. It was lovely but trying to watch KZfaq on an iPhone is not ideal!!! I’d never have been able to appreciate the beautiful painting on the plates or that curtain so it was nice to catch up on a decent screen on the bathroom wallpapering and tonight’s vlog!

I actually thought the table cloth and dishes was beautiful!! Great find!!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!

I know a lot of people will not touch china if it is not perfect. Personally, I feel that if it remains pretty, nothing else matters! Thank you for the video!

Those dishes are lovely, and the tablecloth too. Perhaps one could place a darker under (charger) plate so as to show off the plates even more? Am looking forward to seeing the finished bathroom as well. SOOOOOO MUCH TO DO!!!! Hang in there!

I love the crockery and absolutely love the games!! I have never seen a chess for 4 even though we play chess. In fact my partner has played high level for many years and he has also not heard of such a board. You are never to old to learn. 😮

Wonderful buys at the auction. Absolutely lovely. Id research the Chinese footed stand and two plates, people had a tendency to hang pieces they didn't want broken. How wonderful if it's worth a fortune. Thank you so much for sharing another bit of your lives.

Très belle table, c’est toujours joli de faire une belle table avec une belle nappe bravo 👏👍😉💜

I love your purchases!!! The dishes are lovely and they sure made your table setting look spot on! I crack up when you get ahead of those making remarks about things, e.g., wrinkly tablecloth!! You're both so quick!! I can't wait to come to visit your lovely Chateau and have a dinner made by you two and using those lovely dishes placed on a wrinkly tablecloth!!!

Meine lieben ich freu mich immer went ihr was gutes finder Macht spass alles liebe und ❤😊❤😊gute

Oh i love the plates, the dishes are beautiful great find. The monopoly is around 1940 i think. Great games, i agree graphics are beautiful. Delicate dresser.😊 hope all well Aunty Australia 🇦🇺

Love the collection of china - how fun to go through them all, regardless of the "extra spices". LOL 😂 I was always scared to that the plate hangers off. I once had my hand cut badly because one spring off the plate and whipped right into my hand. I have never seen a cake stand on the wall either. I have a soft spot for cake stands. I would take a picture of the patterns and keep them on your phone because one day you could be at a brocante and find a piece to go with them. The curtain has a lovely pattern, it will be so lovely when hung. The vanity is delightful! It really is so usable because it has lots of usable space. The gaming stuff is so fun! I am so bad at games, dyslexia and dyscalculia didn't help LOL 😂

I enjoy your blog and don't even listen to negative. Please keep your amazing blog posts

WoW! Beautiful pieces! Lucky! Very nice dishes and furniture! And lot of games for the winter, or rainy day! Please excuse my mistakes ,English is a second language for me. My first language is French. Salutations cordiales depuis le nord du Québec au Canada 🇨🇦!

Beautiful China Set of Porcelain dishes, Yes Milliput does work well, I use it to repairs Antique Dolls . It is a UK product Cheers from Canada.

Great earthen ware beautiful designs….and in a couple of years when u ve done everything you can play those games😂

Beautiful purchases love the games fun fun and the dishes are beautiful

Once again i have tableware envy!!! All beautiful especially the single pink one at 11.44 ,pity there wasn't any more of them . The tablecloth has my initials on it so i want that !! 😊😊😊

Aaah Boys!!!! You have found amazing treasures!! Well done!! To think each one of those handpainted plates took how long to paint? That is soooo amazing...the furniture are such a pleasure to behold!! You guys have good taste!!! Well done!!! One thing about castles and chateau's are the dust!! Keep them well oiled and they will bring you years of joy!!!!

Great finds guys ,well done . 😊😊❤

Awesome finds ! Such fun!!! Great bidding on the games .The table cloth is lovely and the dishes are pretty . I can’t wait to one day sit at your table and visit. Love you both !

I could and do watch your channel constantly and enjoy tremendously. Love you❤

Lovely dishes. I’m still canning garden veggies. I’m on my last batch of tomato sauce … finally 😅

And as I saw it in real life the dishes are really beautiful. The colours are so fibrant. Also the curtain is gorgeous.

What a fun auction. Some real unique pieces. Setting the table was a great idea. It looked lovely😍 I love the driving scenes. Feels like I'm going with you. 😃 😊

How fun was this auction? Beautiful china and great games for the long winter nights! Love every bit! 😊😊🌹🌹

you two have such wonderful taste.😍🤩

I just discovered your channel and I have to tell you: Your intro/trailer is amazing! Very much appreciated! 😊

Thanks for showing us the set all cleaned up and placed. And again sorry for the dance you have to do for every step you take 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😊

So funny! I noticed the wrinkly table cloth right away. So you thought you forestalled comments about it. 🤣

Beautiful dishes!!! Soup is DELICIOUS!!! Outstanding finds!!! 🥰🎶❤️🇨🇦

Loving your China haul. Amazing.

I enjoyed seeing everything bought. My favourite was the card game one, it is so colourful artwork

This series of ornithological plates is a great find, .. what year is it? Wouldn't this table with the mirror be a very popular dressing table under Louis XVI !! .. in any case, congratulations for these acquisitions

Some great find's once again lovely table setting with the wrinkly tablecloth 😂( so what).I loved all your purchases enjoy them.take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗

Wonderful dishes! My Grandpa made terrific soups esp. chicken soup so over the years the soup bowls all broke. I broke the last one and I was so sad. 😢 The Metropolitan Museum in NYC has a similar pondreuse, vanity or dressing table for hair brushes, combs, mirror & makeup. It is stunning. And I love the games set. Fun. 😘😘

Love your new plantes. Good bye😮

Lovely china that was a very good find . Enjoy

Love you two, ironed tablecloth or not!!💕

Great Find! ❤️ Thanks for sharing! Table looks beautiful!

What glorious plates! Just beautiful! I really love old skool deep dishes, especially for autumn and winter, they are not for soups at my place but used for pasta, for swedish knödel, great for your Schwein haxe, your Coque au Vin, your Bœuf Bourguignon, Bouillabaisse and any yummy stew, tagine with couscous, you name it! I use mine alot, although the huge set is now kindof worn to oblivion (I'd loooovebto find a better replacement in France omg...). A big smack on your bottoms for not showing the fabric properly! It looked divide the very little I could see of it, I really want to see a good slow closeup of the pattern, it's so pretty! 😭 You should send for a goid quality Kintsugi set to have on hand! It makes the cracks and chips part of the art! Also, don't use old wirehangers. They are often the cause of the cracks as they arent padded where the wire holds the plate, invest in good flexy hangers that dont have metal directly on the pressure points of your plates. The linnen table cloth was beautiful and went perfectly with the Faïance! You should make your own lovely linnen napkins to go with the beautiful pottery. Bye some damaged white or unbleached linnen damast table cloths, when there's a stain or two they're dirst cheap. Buy a few in the same color (different damast patterrns dont matter, actually looks nice in candle light) and cutnthem to a good size and trim with good maschine washable lace or ribbon (or both) in colors that coordinate with the sets for a matching pop of color. If you dont want white napkins you can dye them in a color from the painted plates and trim with off white instead. Great project for a rainy day before Christmas preparations! What a brave young lady taking on a dilapidated 14th century chateau! Hope we get to meet her down the line! It's hovering around zero C here, a few plus in daytime and biting winds. Enjoy your lovely weather boys! I'd swap in a heartbeat for sure. I'm always raging against the dying of the light up here. Mme Malplacé sob song and here's a tiny violin too 🎻. 😘👌

Love all your auction treasures ❤❤❤❤❤

Love the drapes. I just finished mine from the fabric I bought in Paris when I travelled there this summer.

Beautiful finds; the dishes are stunning. How fun the game are. Love you guy's! ❤

Lovely dinner set , looked great on the table cloth and the games boxes are great. The mixed game set was called A Compendium of games in the UK. Mine was not as grand as that one though. Curious about the card one it's very lovely and interesting.

The « bird plates » are gorgeous !

Bonsoir, vous avez de quoi vous amuser avec tout ces jeux ,lors de vos longues soirées d'hiver

Hi guys! I’m still having internet problems 😫 and they are coming this afternoon so I may miss your premier AGAIN! I have intermittent service which is bizarre. Plus my identity has been stolen again & I will check with Patreon. I HOPE the past 2 weeks have been better than mine! 😂 Have fun 😘😘

lovely treasures !!!

Exceptional as always 😊

I just noticed your picture of the dog on the wall. That is so adorable!

Those plates look great 😁

Repairs can also be done in wabi sabi style, accentuating the beauty of a repair.

I know you have the bathroom to carry on renovating but I can’t wait to see that cute little dressing table rejuvenated 💖 wonderful to find those plates and in such numbers the designs are so sweet 🍽 Imagine how many people have made use and had fun with that compendium of games 🎉🎲 see you Friday 👋

It looks beautiful ❤❤

Wonderful finds guys
