Hi Macenna ! The blue spoon holder is made of baked clay, and it comes from a village named Soufflenheim in northern Alsace (Far far north east of France). Soufflenheim is a lovely place with a long history in poterie, and those drawings and paterns are typical of this place (FYI next to this one is Betschdorf, another wellknown place for traditional craftmanship where they work with "Grès au sel" (salt-enameled sandstone ?), always in blue and grey tone that you would love too ! Always a pleasure to watch your video, but this time... How fun (and frustrating!) to know you were so close !
When in Texas next..we have to see your moms haul ❤ thanks for taking us along… it makes me want to revisit France again..😊
I used to live in Strasbourg in Alsace and I brought back pottery like that too. Good eye!
❤
I recognised the alsacian design right away ! Love from Strasbourg !!!
Merci 🙏🏼 thank you for this comment 😘 I was going to do the same comment 😉I am Alsatian from Strasbourg (eastern France)… France is not just Paris 😜
Do you ever think that some day, many years down the line, after all of us are gone, somebody would be so excited to find MaCenna’s mom’s art in a flea market and think, ‘how amazing’!
You and your mom holding hands as you are going through the French doors. Precious ❤️
I hope my daughter and I have that kind of relationship as we grow older.
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE part of your France vlog was you and your Maman sipping hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream. The “to die for” look on your Mom’s face said it all!!
I swear I could taste it too 😋
Your Mom looked so beautiful stairing off into space in the train station.
I noticed that too she looked great!
I noticed that, too! And the shots of her and Macenna in the stripes walking together. So presh!!!
Thank thank thank for taking us along!!! Can we please see your moms haul?? She has such a great style and I would love to see what she found too. 🤗 🦋
yes, this!!!!
Yes, please!
Hey MaCenna! The floral painting is actually of peonies. It's gorgeous. There is a certain part of France that is famous for its peonies. Can't wait to see how you incorporate all your finds into your home!
My late moms favorite flower is peonies
@@PjSmith
🩷
Yes they are peonies
Jean Anouilh (June 23, 1910 - October 3, 1987) was an extremely famous French playwright. His best known work is called "Antigone".
I have found from years of traveling around the world that it's best if you only have a week just go to one place and really see it because you may not get back.
The hydrangea painting looks more like peonies to my eye.
Yes. I suggested carnations but you may be right. Definitely not hydrangeas.
Hi, a home gardener here. Based on the color of the flowers in the painting at 8:06 and the way they are structured, they are likely peonies, not hydrangeas. They could also be a ruffled tulip or Ranunculus.
Your France vlogs have been wonderful MaCenna… thank you so much for the work in them & taking us with you guys 🤎🫖☕️ Now to cosy down for this evenings ✨ xO
aww thank you so much! im so happy you enjoyed them!

You saw what you were meant to see at this moment in time with your Momma and Romeo. Save the places you missed for next time!! So happy for you that you enjoyed your trip and got home safely. What a beautiful blessing to have those precious memories with your Mom. Welcome home.
I would love to visit far away places. But we all have phases of our lives. First there is the go-go phase. Those were the years I was working and completely unable to afford travel. I am now retired and in my slow-go phase rapidly entering my no-go phase. Life passes so quickly. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you.
Oh my goodness Sara that is so true😂 all of the above. When it was just me and my husband go go go go go then me and my kids and my husband go go go go go go and then when it came down to me and my husband, we did what we wanted. Took vacations together without the children and the grandchildren it was just us, and it was marvelous .😮 I am going to be 73 and I’m very very active. My husband passed away in 2014 so it’s just me and the dog 🐶 and I am doing what I want to do now… when my kids want me to go someplace or take a trip out like nope dad’s not here anymore not going to do it😊 if you don’t mind, I am going to borrow that. I am now going to say I am in my slow- go phase, rapidly entering my no -go phase😊😊
We need a Romeo and Mom haul too!
Super job, MaCenna! Thanks for sharing so much of your experience. My second trip to Paris was in 1978. My Mom was with me and seeing you and your Mom having such a wonderful time brought back so many memories of my Mom who is no longer with me. You will cherish your memories, too!
That painting is nothing short of beautiful!
Everything you film is so aesthetically beautiful.
We need Momma's haul! Beautiful finds.
One of my favorite Paris moments was when my Mom, cousin and I stumbled into a bread festival outside of Notre Dame. It was spontaneous and delicious!
Omgsh so glad Kinsley is back home with you. So glad your mom went with you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I totally agree with you about not letting yourself get overwhelmed with all there is to see. My husband lived in France for a year after college (before his Master's program), as he speaks French fluently. So our best moments were finding an out of the way cafe that was family owned.... just hanging out enjoying the culture. We had our boys with us, so there were specific things we wanted them to see. We took a boat tour down the Seine, and we were able to see so many famous places! We were there before the fire at Notre Dame cathedral, so we felt very thankful for that!
I’m pretty sure at least one of those those hardware handles is a toilet flusher, but I’d absolutely use them on doors or cupboards! Great idea!
What a special time with your mom❤ I love when you are holding hands crossing the street!
I feel like the painting of the man that is so moody and distressed is perfect Halloween vibes.
Ooohhh that fruit art is awesome!
What an amazing trip. Thank you for sharing with us.
Putting notes on the pieces you purchased is a great idea. My mom would always do that and I’d laugh at her. Now that I’m older I totally get it. Thank you so much for taking us along.
my great grandmother did this with everything and I loved seeing the memories, dates, people named in pictures... just learning more about her life! I'm doing it now, too. I think it's so precious - to recognize how meaningful the memory is not only for me, but how it will impact future generations in my family
Thank you for taking us along in your Paris journey, I feel like my life is incomplete if I don’t get to see your videos weekly. I never thought I would feel that way about watching another persons life on RUclips. I just adore you, your mom, Kinsley, Romeo.
So very happy that you enjoyed your trip and you were present in the moment and didn’t let FOMO take over. I can totally relate to that!!! Can’t wait for more of your bathroom Reno!!!
I’ve been renovating RVs for the past 12 years and have been involved with interior design since I was very young and I must say that watching you had inspired me so much that my style has evolved. My style has changed many many times through the decades but in the past couple years I have incorporated a little vintage, little cottage, more wood tones and warmth which has been inspired from your cottage Reno, I’m absolutely loving what I’m creating in my own home. Thank you MaCenna for not stopping your videos even when you’re on vacation, I loved seeing the Paris flees. I hope and pray you never burn out because every week I look forward to watching your journey and even more so than anyone else that I follow on RUclips. My week is complete when I can watch your videos!!!🎉❤😊
That sounds so crazy to me to say but it’s true!!
Thank you for taking us all to Paris🇫🇷❤
MaCenna, you are truly amazing!! You are brave, smart, sentimental and have such a drive that not many young women have. Thank you for taking us along with your wonderful adventures! Tell your Mom she did a great job raising you to appreciate the fine things in life!!!
This was a great experience for me to view. Thank you MaCenna.
I'm so happy you three had a wonderful trip! Watching you make your way through the markets was fun (though I kept wanting to reach out and touch things) and seeing you with your mom at Versailles and and later at the museum (haha getting tossed of the lawn!) was ALMOST as good as going with you.
You brought home much less than I imagined you would. That framed painting of peaches is spectacular! And I love the unframed painting in the style of Cezanne. The others are beautiful, but those are my faves. The first one - the floral - is gorgeous, too. When I travel, my souvenirs are always artwork and practical, usable things like the hardware and tea towels you bought. Or your spoon holder. Now you'll have instant reminders all the time.
Glad you're safely home. And Kinsley looks like she's over the moon to have her mom back! ❤
Travel hack : always save the zippered plastic covers when buying sheets and other bedding they are perfect for packing and separating dirty clothes and shoes in your luggage. Plus, it's a great way to recycle, and you got em, so they were free. I have been doing this for years, and it is such a handy thing.
Safe travels, ya'll.
Alsace is a region of France known for its excellent white wines with unique characteristics, fascinating history, and delicious food. Of course, there's also its world-famous Christmas markets, which attract millions of visitors every year. It borders German and Switzerland.
Best part with your mom is you two on the grass on a blanket then showing us the sign thar you were not allowed .😂 We would LOVE to see your mom's haul ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed seeing France with you ☺️ It's been years since I last visited myself. I adore Provençal style. The entire colour pallet of my home is based around a beautiful, ceramic olive oil bottle I found in Avignon. The colours of sunshine and happiness 🥰
Now we all want a tour of your home 😊❤❤❤
It’s important to live in the moment when you travel. I always tell myself to enjoy living like a local. That’s what’s important. If there are things that I don’t do, then it’s just a reason to come back. This motto has made traveling so much more relaxing and enjoyable.
I love a good flea market or charity shop, so I always look them up and have them on my possible things to do… but the unexpected fleas are always my favorite.
FYI… When you looked at those records. I was saying stop… I so want to see them and the pricing. I love bring back a record and playing it when I get home. It’s like filling my house with the sounds of my adventures.
Thanks MaCenna for all the information about your trip. I loved it when you and your Mom were picnicking on the grass. It was so funny when you saw the sign after. So cute.
I have been living these past few vlogs so much!! Your channel has been everything for the past few years!!!
o wow thank you so much!
You make traveling so happy and exciting. I’m so glad your mom was able to experience that with you.
A few years ago my husband and I took a 17 day backpacking trip around The UK (Ireland, Scotland, and England) and its true, you really do have to accept that you won't be able to see everything and you just have to pick what is most important and choose to be present where you are... and even so, toward the end, when we were in London, we were soooo tired that we ended up sleeping an entire day just to regroup. We were actually halfway to the train stop and I just looked at my husband and said "I have to go back to sleep," lol, so we turned around and went back to the AirBnB and caught up on sleep. I'm glad we did because that day he took me to see Phantom of the Opera (on my Bucket List) and if we had tried to push through and sightsee all day, it would have totally ruined the experience of something that had been a dream since I was a little girl.
Very wise! There is freedom in knowing your limits and respecting them.🙂
Great haul! The blue ‘handles’ are actually toilet cistern flushers but I’m sure you’ll be able to make them work ❤
It's such a treasure to be able to travel with your mama. My mom has brought my sister and I twice, on separate occasions.
To Italy and France, lol.
McCenna, thank you for sharing your trip with us. Loved every moment, you did a wonderful job of filming and capturing the essence of France! You are delightful, I love your Mom and Romeo!!
Thank you again for carrying us along on your trip! It was great seeing you guys having such a good time, especially your mom. Love every piece you brought back, the art is just stunning!❤
The little garlic plate you found is actually a grater for grating garlic. Your flea market finds are so precious ❤
I loved every video you were able to put out. I felt like I was sightseeing along with you all.
Love everything you brought home! Thanks so much for taking us to France along with you!
Alsace, sounds like El SASS, A region of France that borders Germany. So beautiful, another place to visit, looks like it's a disney scene!
Actually « la belle et la bête » the beauty and the beast, happens in Alsace, you can see the Alsacien village at the beginning, in the disney movie 🥰
I love seeing all of your finds! Watching your videos, it felt like you were in your true heaven and that you fit right in. All of the art! All of the antiques! My favorite part was your intro music and I hope you add it to future videos because now it reminds me of you and how much you have opened my eyes to the beauty of French style and art.
So lucky fit students to go abroad for a semester of study. My great niece spent a semester in Prague and it is something she will never forget.
THANK YOU ALL for taking us along with you!!!
Beautiful finds! The peach painting might be my fav! I always say to myself "that's just another reason to come back again :)" when there's just to much to do!
Thank you for taking us along, looked like a great trip! Can you interview your mom and what she thought about the trip and her favorite place or thing she did? Would love to hear her perspective, also her decor haul.
I loved living the experience through you knowing I will probably never get there myself. All of your treasures were great. XO
❤❤❤ these videos. Thank you for allowing us to follow along. I know how much effort it took on your part to video for us and the time Romeo and your mom gave up for us. You guys are the best.
Next time you should visit Greece,not only for our history and beaches,but because you will find the most beautifully hand-made and hand-painted coffee cups! I have a nice collection of them from every island I have visited so far - Paros,Skiathos, Skopelos, Zakynthos, Crete and Thasos. I'm glad all of you had a great time! France is beautiful!
Alsace is the area around Strasbourg, in the east of France near the German boarder. Should be Alsace in English, too. In German the area is called Elsass.
that yellow table runner is *gorgeous*. i agree about the fading, it's quite soft and adds a kind of lustre. i'm glad you all had a great time and got back home safely!
Thank you for all you do to lift us up. Love to all!
We can’t say thank you enough for taking us along on your trip. Loved your haul.🌺🌺
Loved that you took us along on your trip! You could do an annual flea market trip - doesn't have to be a one time thing!
Very glad you had a good time in France. As a french girl working in Versailles I love our castle but for me the most beautiful is Chambord and the most stunning is Chenonceau and they are not far from each other. Maybe for your next trip in our countryside 😊🤍
When I visited Korea, my daughter had been there studying at KU. That was great because she already knew what I was going to want to see the most. We were able to just relax and enjoy the moments there. It was great.
You did an amazing job bringing us along with you! I am look forward yo seeing the rose garden.
The fabric you purchased was stunning! You got some beautiful art work too. Glad you guys had a wonderful time. A trip you’ll never forget. Welcome home. ❤
Hi MaCenna! The blue dish for the spoon is from Alsace, made by the poterie maker Siegfried Burger, identified by the SB symbol in the middle. The 064 probably means that it is the number 64 of that design. They have a website.
❤ You are so right…you can’t do and see it all…no matter how long you are there. The most important thing is that YOU, your Mom and Romeo did what you wanted to do and had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing.
It was a pleasure to come along with you on your trip. I am so glad you decided to enjoy the moment, those times enjoying things together will be the best memories. Love your treasures.
That series was, as you say, everything. It was a great trip, and that music you used in the video, will always make me think of France and your beautiful journey. I’m so glad you didn’t find everything you were looking for, because now you can now continue the journey, and I’ll continue to follow along.
Thanks so very much for taking us along. I really, really, really enjoyed it! It reminds me of the times I spent in Great Britain and Germany, but I wasn’t into flea markets at the time. Now I am!
MaCenna your picture is not Hydrangeas it is Peonies
Aw man! I was do hoping you'd show Kinsley getting her croissant baby!
Of course we enjoyed that series!!! In fact I enjoyed it so much that I think it should be a yearly thing... Like vlogmas 😂 Thank you so much for sharing! It was so much fun.
I think those are peonies in your favorite picture. And thanks for sharing everything with us
I always envy when you go to any flea market because in the small city where I live (San Sebastian, north of Spain. It has a lot of French vibes btw) there's no such a thing as a flea with antique furniture. Everything is always new. But then when I saw that spoon holder you bought and all that porcelain pottery you liked can be found everywhere in here. Even in some of our "dollar stores". So it made me also cherish what I have. Great series McCenna. I enjoyed it so much that now I wanna go to France too (and I live 30 minutes away from the border😂)
Omg, I can't believe how much that floor tiles already changed the room...it's looking great! Can't wait for the rest...❤😊
Your travel videos were so lovely! The footage you used, the amazing music and the editing was like watching a well done movie. Your finds are so pretty. Love the art work and the English teacups and saucers! Magnifique!
I loved going to France with you! Thank you so much!
These Paris vlogs were so lovely, I didn't want them to end. In fact, I will probably go back and watch them again to pick up on more and more details. The music, the sights, the pace... wonderful 💓
Thank you for taking us to France with you. I loved every minute of your vlogs 🥰
I went every inch of the way with you and your mother. What a beautiful trip and just so exhilarating. ALl your items are wonderful! I love that you also have the memories of being there with your mother.......what an amazing memory and a fabulous trip. Beautiful footage you shared with us each vlog........just beautiful.
Blessings...........rest and renew! TY for sharing~~~
Yes! This series was fantastic! I am so impressed and grateful that you made the time to record, edit and upload these videos while on the trip!. Let us know what Romeo brought back, and your Mom, too. Did you bring anything back for Kinsley? or for Drew? Thanks so much again, and welcome back. You probably slept for 2 days straight when you got home.
Thank you so much for taking us along and sharing your haul. So very happy you are all back and safe. 🤗💓💕💞
I love that spoon holder
Alsace is a region in France on the border of Germany. It's pronounced "Alzasse" like glass, not like "space".
I am really enjoying your videos. I also enjoy your little dog. She’s interested in everything!😃
For the spoon rest, it comes from Alsace which is a region on the East of France, near Germany, which the main city is Strasbourg. As ofr one of the paintings, the one titled Montagnes du Doubs, it is a river from the region of regionBourgogne-France-Comte towards the East of France, and the mountains are the Jura. I am so glad you like the efficient TGV high speed train. Thats the best way to travel within France and go to all our great local flea markets, regional food and diverse architecture. Keep travelling
I’d love to see a haul of Romeo and your mom’s finds!
How did Kinsley do at grandma’s?! Was she being a good girl? Was she being mischievous? 😍She looked so cute in the pictures she sent you ❤️
she was sooooo good! but i know she miss me heheh
Thank you for taking us on your trip to France! I enjoyed it immensely! Something to think about for the future and add to your already full plate, sponsor a trip to Paris so we your fans can, (of course pay our way), and have you do as much or as little and be our tour guide?!?! Just a thought!
I moved to Lisbon from the US in 2022, and I go to Paris and southern France about once a month. I have been following you for years, and I can't believe I was in Aix en Provence at the same market and visited Cezanne's studio and missed you!
Welcome home. What an amazing haul.
Thank you for all the France videos. You are one of a kind. Kinsley is so cute and i know she went crazy when she seen you.
The nice thing about your age is that you can always go back and pick up wear you left off. Introduce your children to world travel. My daughter was three when we went England and Paris for 3 weeks.
We need a haul from your Mom too! :)
You got some awesome stuff! I think those door handles are actually toilet flush handles - I distinctly remember we had one similar growing up, however who’s to say they couldn’t be made into cupboard handles?!❤
What fun. Never forgettable memories with mom and romeo!! Treasure them! Tyfs ❤❤
Thank you for taking us along to France. Your time and efforts taken to include us is much appreciated!
What a beautiful trip ! How special that you got to spend such an experience with Romeo and your Mom ! Everywhere you stayed was so cool , but the first place was definitely my fave. I learned years ago, when we travel to just enjoy and soak in the moment, it helps to remember what you did , how you feel when your there , and to take the time to appreciate where you are and what you see . ❤
I love everything that you picked up and loved watching the France travel vlogs! Can't wait to go myself one day :)
