Bonjour!

Step into the charm of the French countryside with this brocante haul, where I share the latest treasures I’ve gathered — from a hand-painted clam shell trinket box to antique Moustiers faïence, delicate linens embroidered with century-old monograms, and a 1920s chair just waiting for its next chapter. In this video, I take time to explore the history behind each piece, particularly the beautiful craftsmanship of antique linens — the difference between chiffré and monogrammé, and the women who once embroidered these heirlooms by hand. I then show you how I integrate these soulful finds into our home. In the second part of the video, I walk through how I care for and polish antique silver, sharing my favorite gentle techniques and the tried-and-true products that bring back their luster. Whether you're drawn to vintage French decor, thoughtful home rituals, or simply love a slow and refined way of living, I hope this video brings you inspiration and joy.
