Loved this episode. I live in New Jersey but I was born and raised in New York. We usually see house sales and yard sales here in the States. Btw, your non-native English is better than most Americans’ English. Thank you for your vlogs!

Hola Marloes ,te veo desde Chile 🇨🇱 y te sigo desde hace 1 año ,me encanta tus videos y tu hogar es muy bello ,gracias por tus datos de brocantes

I am watching all your videos as I only found your channel 2 mths ago. I am from a small town on Vancouver Island BC Canada. I love Thrifting & have done a fair share of buying & selling, especially because I have lived in 4 provinces from the east to the west. We have a few charities in the area a small one better than the rest. So far my best find was at a yard sale: an antique handmade patchwork quilt that I researched & it was made in 1900s in Wisconsin & valued by a museum curator at $1000 - I paid $20. I usually look for linens, sewing stuff as I am a maker. In also like tins, baskets, and many of the things you show. Today I bought 75 skeins of embroidery thread for $17 and the price at the fabric store would have been $90 (1.30 ea) I also bought a smaller lap quilt, beautiful work & fabrics $30. You do have to go often as it is becoming more popular.

My find is a large print of a hefty couple sitting with their basket of bread, cheese and wine admiring the vineyard. A colorful piece and I love it! I found at a thrift store. Our second hand items can be found at estate sales, second hand stores, also called thrift stores or antique shops or vintage shops or flea markets. I'm from Southern California.

USA, Texas, we have garage/yard sales that has every and anything for sale, flea markets which has antiques and other stuff and estate sales where items are sold at full price the first day and over a 3-4 day sale prices will be reduced by a % moving on to the final day. I can say that I enjoy being with you when you shop. I love seeing French merchandise.

I love French markets. My great grandmother was French, I have her love for France.

I am watching you from Florida, U.S.A. There are many ways to get used items. Thrift stores are run by charities and keep regular store hours. They must be like your Emause. Everything is donated. Yard sales here can be a single family or a group of families selling their own possessions from their yard or their driveway. These are usually advertised by hand written signs posted on street corners and only last for a few hours on a weekend. Estate sales are usually held when someone passes and their family wants to sell everything in the house (and garage and barn). These are often arranged by professionals and will be well publicized. They may last one or two days or more. They are usually held in the house to be emptied. Estate auctions are run by professional auctioneers. They are well publicized. People bid on the items one at a time. They are sometimes held at the auctioneer’s warehouse but sometimes held on-site if the estate is a big farm with lots of buildings full of stuff and machinery, etc. Sometimes the house is auctioned too. Antique Markets are large stores (often housed in big old grocery store buildings) where many antique dealers set up their own booths and shoppers can roam up and down the isles visiting dozens of booths. The dealers are seldom present. If you find something you like you take it to the central desk where you pay, and the money is then paid to the correct dealer. The dealers pay to rent booth space and their displays are permanent. These places keep regular store hours. Of course there is eBay for on line sales. Probably many other sites. Facebook Marketplace is very popular and most things there are offered at very reasonable prices. Some communities sponsor online sites where everything is free. You state that you have something, someone responds that they need it, you put it out on your porch, and the shopper comes and takes it away. Or you can state you need something and others will tell you they have it and where to come get it. These are very local. In some places it is common to just place unwanted items out near the street, or actually in a dumpster or trash pile, especially on trash pickup day, and passers-by can take what they want. People call this “dumpster diving”. They drive around the neighborhood looking at what people are discarding. My best deal was at a regular Thursday night auction at an auction house where I used to live in Texas. I used to go there often. I once bid on a “box lot”. This was a box of miscellaneous kitchen junk. I paid $5 for the whole box of stuff. I had gone through it before the auction started, and I’d seen there were two sterling silver plates in it amidst all the junk! They were so tarnished that apparently no one else noticed they were sterling. I was the only bidder. Five dollars for sterling! Woo!

You alway have the right words, love you insight........ from New Jersey, USA

Love your decorating style. Would love to go to a brocante with you someday! We all have our dreams - sending love from New Zealand

In 1980 I found a box of Jadeite dishes under a table at a garage sale for four dollars when I lived in Minnesota. Another find was a set of Jadeite set of mixing bowls for twenty-five dollars. My Mother and daughter went garage sailing in my neighborhood and bought a wicker buggy for ONE dollar. Now that was an Amazing Find! I now live in North Dakota, USA on 21 acres of Land and Love living out in the country.

Hi I'm from South Africa and love your program,fascinated with your countryside,just love it,would enjoy travelling there.

Hello! I watch you from wine country in Northern California USA. Thank you for all the content you put out every week. My best find was found at a street fair in the Sierra Nevada in gold country. It was a green depression glass syrup pitcher, no chips or cracks.

Enjoyed your video. I know the happy feeling. My recent greatest find was a large set of copper cookware for 5$ a piece. Your China finds are amazing. Love ❤️ all of them.

Watching from Tucson, Arizona, USA. Sales called yard, garage, carport, and estate sales. My best find was at an upscale estate sale, right place, right time. Ended up furnishing my entire living and dining rooms with high end furniture for $1000! My husband and I still look at each other after a year and say, how did that happen?

My best find is a sterling silver filigree bird with enameling. It is absolutely invaluable to me. I also find micro mosaic picture frames from Italy. How fun to see this vlog. Thank you from Minnesota, US

Etsy has great antique finds too. Watching from Indiana, USA. 😊

This was so interesting and I enjoyed seeing so many places to make purchases. I live in the US and my favorite find was my iron bed that was listed on Facebook Marketplace. I also shop in Estate Sales, Garage Sales, Thrift Stores, and Antique Stores.

I used to watch from New Zealand but I’m in Paris en route to our new holiday home. I can’t wait to go to all the places you describe, thank you so much for your lovely vlogs

Thanks for sharing your tips! I'm a huge Leboncoin fan. I picked up some gorgeous velvet curtains for our sitting room. They came from a château and I got them for a steal at €25! I'll have to check out our local Emmaüs.

Oh my goodness! I needed this, thank you for sharing. I never knew where to find thrift shops here, that’s where I did all my shopping when I visited the US. I’m so excited to go look at my local EMMAUS now. I just scored this beautiful wicker purse at a thrift store for $13 and looked online and it’s a $200 bag.

Following from Washington state in the US. My best finds are from estate sales..also we have the goodwill bins. Goodwill is a national line of thrift stores. What doesn't sell ends up at the goodwill outlet where you dig through h bins and pay by the pound! Such a treasure hunt!

My best find was your house, so calm and beautiful

Watching from Mesa, Arizona and enjoyed all of the different ways to shop in France for treasures. My favorite story is of a vintage French Provincial tall dresser that I saw at a local thrift store. It was marked $14 and I took the price off and stood in front of it until they could roll it to the cashier for me to pay for it. That dresser was coming home with ME. Everyone was looking at the dresser and I kept saying, it's sold, it's mine. Right place at the right time, what a find that was. Clearly a $300 or more piece.

In Frankrijk ga ik graag naar de vide grenier en de emmaus. Hier in Nederland ga ik overal waar ik in het land ook ben naar een kringloopwinkel. Zelf werk ik als vrijwilliger bij de kringloop en sleep ik regelmatig wat mee naar huis. En aankomende woensdag op koningsdag is er eindelijk na twee jaar weer in het dorp waar ik woon een hele grote vrijmarkt waar ik erg naar uitkijk . Zo leuk al die schatten die je kan vinden.

I am in the Texas Panhandle. We have Garage Sales and Estate Sales. Sometimes we have block sales with all of our neighbors. I would love to go shopping with you someday!

Watching from the Philippines. Just like your family, our family decided to move to our farm (conveniently 30 mins away from the city) and the shifting tune has been so good for the family. I've been wanting to shop in a thrift store for furnitures but unfortunately, we don't really have them here so i end up having this ha custom made and for China dishes and cups, i end up buying from abroad which can be a but pricey. I hope there's one (thrift store) I can find here.

Watching from Melbourne Australia, I have found some lovely items in charity shops, op shops, and our purchases support those in our community who are struggling.

Greetings from SW Colorado, USA.....my BEST find was at a Habitat for Humanity store, a group that builds homes for low income families and the families share in the "sweat equity" by helping with the building of their home. Owners secure a mortgage and have a home for life. Shops are located in many cities across the United States and people donate kitchen cabinets, extra tile, wood, old plumbing fixtures, etc....in addition to antiques, old tables, chairs, bed sets. I purchased a beautiful antique Samovar from Russia.....including the tray that it sits upon....only $75. These sell for $1000 in many antique stores and I was thrilled to score this fun piece.

I went to a church sale/craft Fair in a town a few miles away from where I use to live in NY/United States, and the sale of vintage items I found a collapsible egg basket for $1. Of course I wanted it amongst many other items. Another Historical Flea Market in Madison Connecticut, I found nesting eggs for $5 each to put in my basket. Those were my favorite items. I now reside in North Carolina/USA, and the Thrift Stores here aren’t very good. Most are consignment shops, where I buy vintage item items.

Hi I’m watching from Queensland Australia and we have various charity shops which we usually call Op shops. 🥰🥰

Hi from Colorado, USA 👋🏻

I'm watching from the island of sicily! It's very difficult to find 'brocante " within approx 50km! Or any type of charity second hand shop here. Probably have to visit the major cities to find any. 🤗

I'm so sorry you no longer have your shop..I would love some of the old earthen ware bowls that live in your kitchen. We have some similar ones in Canada, in the same cream colour, but none with the darker brown lip..

Hoi Marloes, dank voor je informatieve en mooie video. Héél goed dat je ook aandacht besteedt aan Emmaus. Hier in Eindhoven, bij mij om de hoek is ook een vestiging. Ook zij helpen actief in Oekraïne. En ze helpen mensen met 'een afstand tot werk', zoals dat tegenwoordig heet. Maar ze hebben niet zoveel mooie spullen als 'jouw' Emmaus :-) Groetjes!

I'm in New Hampshire in the US. Your vide maison is called an estate sale here. When someone passes or when someone sells their home and moves to a smaller home, perhaps when they retire, you hire someone to run an estate sale of the contents. The vide grenier is a neighborhood yard sale.

Ik hou van jou vlogs😊 ❤ groetjes uit de buurt van Nijmegen

I’m in Northern Virginia, but I’m Dutch! In the US since 2000. We call it a garage sale or estate sale. Vanaf heel klein heb ik oude dingen verzameld, nu (at 57) even gestopt met verzamelen want ik ga terug naar Europa verhuizen (Frankrijk of Italië). Je video’s zijn precies wat ik zou filmen! Thanks!

Hallo Marloes, (of moet ik zeggen "Angela"? 😁). Wat leuk dat je de moeite hebt genomen om deze, voor heel veel mensen zeer, interessante vlog te maken. 👌

The paint add to the bench. 22:09

You have exquisite taste, I’m speechless

Michigan, USA 😇🙏🏼

Hallo Marloes, wij hebben ons 2e huis in de gemeente Gâcogne in de Morvan. Wij zijn een paar keer naar Emaus geweest, maar dat waren niet 'de juiste'. Jij hebt er in dit filmpje 2 laten zien waar we blij van werden! Waar waren die? Vooral die dichterbij jullie. Alvast bedankt!

Can you give us a tour of the beautiful place you are please

Chicago

I live in southern California. I happened to notice while out driving a sign outside what looked like a small medical building that said "Alignment WELLNESS". Is what you do part of a larger interntional organization?

I found an ugly brown Poodle Figurine in a Thrift Shop in the Netherlands for 60 Cents. It is from the Sixties designed by Lisa Larson on sale in Sweden for 350 Euro 🎉

De staande lamp bij de muur is schitterend! Waar heb je die opgeduikeld?

Hello I’m from Oklahoma

what is the title of book on small bench? all I could see iwas the word nature.

Tucson, Arizona USA, estate sales is when someone has died, garage sale is a house cleaning, thrifting is at a second hand store , flea markets are open air or can be indoor markets usually a mix of junk and treasures, priced relatively cheap, then you have your vintage and higher priced, more curated antique stores or boutiques, specialty shops. i am probably leaving something out but that's a general explanation.

finding a vintage Hermes scarf for $30.00 in a vintage store . By going through a basket of scarves

Wat super leuk dit, ik ben ook fan van brocante shoppen Emaüs en vides greniers. Afgelopen zomer goed geslaagd: Brocante vondsten uit Frankrijk kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9x0aJWA3a6bdJ8.html

Hi Marloes! I just adore your channel & your French life! I'm not seeing a link to your Instagram account (@ least not on my phone). Would you please link it? Thank you SO Much! Bless you!
