Treasure Hunting Antiques - Eymet

This week we head to the beautiful village of Aimee for a relaxed day exploring the Bacal French Mother's Day. As always we weren't short of beautiful antiques, interesting conversations and a few tempting treasures along the way. We even managed to find some matching pieces and if you've been following us for a while you know how much we love a good matchy-matchy find. We're finally at the Aimee Bracan, a bit overcast today as compared to last week which was mighty hot. Looks like there's a few more stalls here today or a few different stalls. Because it's Mother's Day in France today, that's why. The special Bracan just for the mothers. So hopefully we'll find some amazing bargains and some interesting things to share with you guys. It's interesting isn't it? Do you think it was an old dressing table? Let's go hunting honey. You always have some interesting things. A little boa hat honey. That's the sort of hat I'm wearing Maxi. I think that's a hand swivel or something isn't it? It's cute. She's very cute. Look at this little stand. Here you go. I do like this um the mirror they've got. That's beautiful. She's a beauty actually. Very nice. Where are we putting it? It's my new desk. That's good. That's a good buy. You look it up Richie. What was it? Oak. Shen you want oak. That's beautiful. Very nice detail. I like it. What's the age? Achillage. 1970. I thought it'd be older. That's still old Richie. 1970 is old. For me these markets are more than just shopping. It's the thrill of the hunt, the stories behind the pieces, the people we meet and simply enjoying a wonderful day at rural France. How much is this one? I do 40. Okay good luck. Thank you. So there's a bee. Can I help you? I love your stall. It's always so pretty. Oh thank you. That's very kind of you to say. The yellow that's lovely. Yes.

What do you think first for the You know the other ones that we've got for going around the fireplace. Yeah but this is the ones for the bedside table. Ah okay. Is there any insignia on the back or anything? Because maybe they were earlier made. They're solid brass aren't they? I don't love them though so that's the thing. You gotta love it don't you? If it had the little acorny thing on it I think that'd be perfect. That's a good buy for $40. I'd say I can fix them. Rewire them. I love this detail. Very heavy aren't they? Beautiful. 150 euros for the two. Not really my style but someone else would love these. But wait there's more.

Look at these little ones. Wow. Here we finally found a match. It's the same guy too. I know. He always has the ones that we're looking for. It's a coca-cola calendar but you just obviously put that.
