It’s always nice when you go to one of these antique fairs. Do you know what’s even nicer? When you’re able to spend a little bit money than you normally do and find really good deals. Thank you Ed & Anna for taking us along on your journey. It’s always enjoyable to see beautiful craftsmanship that has been forgotten or no longer produced.
The palm lights would look great in the room off the swimming pool
That was my thought when he asked where to put them.
I love when you two go antiquing together! You balance each other. Anna, we have such similar taste. I love simple elegance mixed with a bit of exaggerated opulence. Just enough to take the breath. Then add, original art pieces and artisan and vintage fabrics and upholstery. Keep it fluid with the dramatic here and there. Hugs and kisses, Edd and Anna.
Me too!
Ed and Anna, you both made such excellent choices. I look forward to seeing the restoration of the couch and chair set and the mirror as well.
Yes. They do..Edd and ANNA. R VERY WISE. THEY HAVE LIVED IN A BIG CHATEAU WITH EDDS PARENTS AND ITS GORGEOUS *LAGORCE*❤🎉
I just love your classy antique hunting. I find your taste is similar to mine…unfortunately my budget is a bit skimpy. I will, therefore, do my shopping vicariously through you two. Love your channel … from PA, USA.
Ann looks so happy with all the beautiful things😊😊😊
I love going antiquing with you! I would lose my mind looking at all the the exquisite antique furniture. I LOVE your choice of the two chairs to put in the foyer. I think it will fit the time period and style so much better. I can’t wait to see what you do with the furniture that’s in very bad condition. I know it will be beautiful what ever you decide to do with them. One thing I’ve come to realize after following you for a long time, you and Edd have a gift for turning something unappealing into something magnificent. I’m looking forward to see these beautiful antiques in the Passion Project.
The hummingbird fabric is just gorgeous and while it is bolder than what must have been originally... it works for today's aesthetic.
I doubt Ed lets you buy anything behind his back. You’re such a precious person Anna I’m so happy to see you back on the vlog.
I feel like driving over to pick up a few bargains myself. Some fantastic dinner services & furniture. Had to look twice at that last shot Ed... You're turning into Ryan!😂
Eddie always looks so serious. He has a nice smile he needs to share more often
I love the antique shopping videos. The palm tree lights would look fabulous in the sitting room off the pool. I like them too.
That is exactly what I thought when I saw these lights.
I thought the same… room off of the pool with the peacock chairs. Same vibe.
My thoughts exactly when they showed them.
Those rickety chairs probably need to be carefully disassembled, cleaned, reglued and polished. They have real potential and would come up a treat. I'm an avid watcher of the UK's TV show "The Repair Shop" they have a very talented team of across the board restorers and seen their furniture restorers do it a few times with stunning results.
My guess is 350 euros?
👍👍👍
The fabric protector against water and stains is called “Scotch Guard”. That's wonderful! I spray the fabric of my wing chairs (and more exclusives chairs) at home with it. From experience I have generously sprayed my furniture fabrics and they remain impeccable for more than five years. Afterwards, I redid the treatment for protection. I love your videos at these markets. It's so fabulous! Those articles are going to be fabulous in your Villa. Hope Billy is going to take this marvelous light. From Canada 🌟
I use Scotch Guard on my carpets & silk drapes (that pool on the floor) as well.
It really makes a difference with pets in the house... I'd be in a right mess without it.
It does make the material non breathable so uncomfortable to sit on for long though.
I think there was a lawsuit against 3M who made Scotch Guard ... because of the cancer-causing chemicals in the formulation of Scotch Guard that can be found not only in human breast milk which then affects human babies... but also in the breast milk of mother seals in the Arctic (or is it Antarctic?) and in many other wildlife affecting their hormones and health. These toxic chemicals are generally known as perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. Here is a short article from
'Food Safety News' ...
"EPA Study: Fish Still Contaminated With Phased-Out Scotchgard Chemical
By Brian Bienkowski on October 3, 2014
(This article by Brian Bienkowski of Environmental Health News was originally posted Sept. 26, 2014, and is used here with permission.) A persistent chemical formerly used in Scotchgard still contaminates most fish in U.S. rivers and the Great Lakes despite a phase-out a dozen years ago, a new federal study shows. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency researchers found perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) in all of the 157 fish sampled from nearshore waters in the five Great Lakes and in 73 percent from 162 rivers.

The study, the largest of its kind in freshwater fish, suggests that eating bass, trout, walleye and catfish could be a major source of exposure for anglers and their families. The chemical remains widespread in wildlife, people and water around the world. “This just shows that PFOS still dominates. Even though production stopped more than a decade ago, it’s still the main perfluorinated acid in the environment,” said Craig Butt, a Duke University chemist who was not involved in the study. PFOS and other perfluorinated compounds are used in oil- and water-resistant coatings for pots and pans, clothes, paper, carpet and flame retardant foams. The 3M Company, the major manufacturer of PFOS, voluntarily stopped its production in 2002 after scientists discovered that it was building up in water, wildlife and people. Nevertheless, “every single human being we test has levels of PFOS in them,” Butt said. The compound “doesn’t break down in light, it doesn’t oxidize. Once it’s in the environment, it’s not going anywhere.” Most health studies have focused on communities with drinking water contaminated by PFOS. But people are exposed in many ways, said Sarah Knox, a professor and epidemiologist at West Virginia University. “Routes of exposure are multiple - things like linings of food containers, stain resistance sprays, fire-proofing and non-stick cookware,” she said. EPA estimates that “contamination in food may account for more than 90 percent of human exposure to PFOS and PFOA,” and that fish may be a major source of PFOS. “It should be noted that the higher the fish is in the food chain, the greater the concentration of toxic compounds,” Knox said. In the rivers, 25 fish species were tested, with smallmouth and largemouth bass and channel catfish the most prevalent. In the Great Lakes, 18 species were tested, mostly lake trout, smallmouth bass and walleye. The study did not name the rivers, but the sites were mostly east of the Mississippi River. PFOS, a suspected endocrine disruptor, has been linked to low birth weights, reduced immune system function in children and high blood pressure during pregnancy. In addition, a study of about 47,000 people in West Virginia whose drinking water was contaminated by a DuPont plant linked PFOS to changes in liver function, early menopause in women and high cholesterol. Animal studies with rats and mice also have shown that PFOS causes developmental, reproductive and immune system problems. PFOA, another perfluorinated compound, was found in just 19 of the Great Lakes samples and none of the river samples. It has been linked to heart disease, suppressed immune systems in children and cancers. Despite repeated requests, EPA officials would not allow the scientists who conducted the study to be available for an interview. Of 13 compounds measured, PFOS was detected at the highest levels. In urban river fish, it was measured at 4.8 to 127 parts per billion, and at 1.9 to 80 parts per billion in Great Lakes fish. EPA hasn’t established a “safe dose” of PFOS. However, Minnesota health officials recommend eating only one meal of fish per week if PFOS concentrations are 40 to 200 parts per billion, and only one meal per month if 200 to 800 parts per billion. About 11 percent of the fish samples from U.S. rivers and 9 percent of the Great Lakes samples exceeded 40 parts per billion. Keri Hornbuckle, a professor at the University of Iowa who studies Great Lakes contaminants, said researchers suspect that wastewater treatment plants are an ongoing source of PFCs. The compounds also travel on ocean and wind currents. “The animals with the highest levels of PFOS we know of are polar bears from the Arctic,” Butt said. New compounds have emerged after 3M’s phase-out of PFOS and PFOA, which the company eliminated in 2008. 3M has touted perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) as a safe alternative, and the compound was not found in any of the river or Great Lakes samples. 3M did not respond to repeated requests for an interview. Michael Murray, a scientist for the National Wildlife Federation, said that the key to addressing emerging contaminants in the Great Lakes is to look upstream now before it’s too late. “We don’t want to be dealing with the next round of perfluorinated compounds in five years,” Murray said. “The key is pollution prevention, practices like green chemistry, to reduce the need for these chemicals in the first place. “Because once they’re here, they don’t go away,” he said."

Thank you Anna and Edd, I love Anna's choices, they need to be professionally done because of the wood situation. If someone falls, they may try to sue. Even if they are not hurt. Wonderful fair, love the talents of the upholsterer.
Anna, love your style and in America we’d say, “You go, girl!” To me, it means when you see a good deal, go for it. Actually, you two are a perfect match and clever buyers. Love the videos.
I NEVER ask the price, even after 40 years in France(and my French is good); make a signal and French Wife asks "combien?" Her price and ours will never be the same... Love the Bordeaux Antique Fairs...cheers rr Normandy
I think those Palm tree lights would look amazing in the room with the other wicker furniture and the tall chairs you had by the front door. A couple of floor standing tropical plants, ❤😎
I love it when you go power shopping 🎉❤
Thanks for taking us along
I want it 😂
Always love coming along with you two on shopping trips! You picked out some fabulous pieces.
Enjoying the brocante buying trip. I am taking a guess at $1200 for the Louis XVI chair/settee grouping that needs refinishing/reupholstered/repaired. Note: The shades for the two celadon lamps are not in the right proportion to the lamp itself, and I think you could find more attractive lamps. Thank you for your antiquing adventures--you make me want to move to the French countryside!
Absolutely love all your purchases. All 3 mirrors, the beautiful arm chairs, the table chandeliers will be beautiful on a large dining room table, and Anna’s settee. My guess is 800.00 euros. Just love your content and appreciate all the work you two do to mix renovations, antique shopping, and Anna’s floral design.
I say 800 euros as well.
You need to go shopping at Phil's chateau. Hes a friend of the Pethericks. He is looking for buyers of good furniture.
I thought the same thing!
EXACTLY ! Great idea Anna 👏🤗
His friend Billy whom he was pricing the chandelier for at the beginning is Billy Pethericks...lol!😂😂😂 That is a great idea!
They all know each other.
HisChannel is …….. “ Chateau Life “
I am a designer from Washington DC, a very good designer, l have huge store.l just wanted to say you guys have amazing taste.l think you guys are very smart with what you buy .You get great prices..l really enjoy watching you guys shop ,we have the same taste.l agree with Anna you can never have to many mirror's. Every room should have at lease one mirror.l also love to do pairs.When you add a mirror to a room it's like adding another window to it,it brings more light into the room
I am so happy you purchased the two gold chair's. They will look so beautiful!
Enchanting sofa and chairs! You both have a great eye for treasures!
Me thinking 3 times "Please stop & consider those chairs for the entryway"
Saying "YES!!!" when that pair was chosen. 👏 Perfect.
I could watch you two doing this for hours... I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
(ps- I appreciate a mirror by the door to check myself as I exit, just a thought) xx
Loved the show today. What a great decision with the Entry Hall Chairs. Beautiful Mirrors and candelabras.
I hope Billy goes for the hanging chandelier!
Wishing you all the most Blessed Christmas and Coming New Year from Oklahoma, USA.
PS, Ed, Anna is much more interesting and beautiful than the guys helping with the renovation!😂😊 You are a Blessed Man!
Excellent purchase for Entryway!!!
The chairs and candelabras are stunning! I hope Billy wants the chandelier as I think it is one of the most beautiful and original I have ever seen.
Nice pieces that Anna bought. Up to $1500 would be great for the suite. Love the chair shapes. They will look great once finished.
I was having so much fun treasure hunting with you two. You scored a few nice pieces. There were so many beautiful things to see and some of those vendors were asking princely prices for them too.
I love the five piece suite Anna found. I didn't hear the price, but if they're legit 18th century Louis XVI, I'd pay to have them restored so they can last another 230 years.
I'm anxious for the next trip.
❤ from TX!
Thank you for sharing another wonderful vlog taking s on an Antique shopping experience. Now Edd let’s talk about you and Alex 🤨😂🤣😘😘
The mirrors are fantastic! And the two gold chairs are exquisite! So enjoyed this presentation! Thank you, Edd and Anna!!
Excellent buy!!
I hope the renters have well-behaved children your furnishings are beautiful and expensive. I loved this shopping video and always enjoy Anna and Ed from day one of their first video. A couple with Class.❤
I hope the rent is either high enough to cover broken items or there is a clause that says if you break it, you buy it!!!
I also think a large deposit and a thorough inventory will be needed. I always like to think the best of people but not everyone is kind and well meaning.
I LOVE going antiquing with you two🎉❣️ My guess on Anna’s purchase is 500 euro
I agree with Anna, you can never have too many mirrors. They brighten up the darkest room instantly.
Wow,so many possibilities with that sofa and chairs but alot of wood putty,sanding and upholstry,you have your work cut out for you.Those really different tropical looking blue floor lamps that Ed liked would go great in the room with the cane chairs!
I felt as if I was getting an education of quality antique furnishings - thank you.
The Palm Tree Lamps would be perfect for Stephanie's friends in Spain. It goes with the Home Decor.
I thought the same thing. But, they would also look great in the Passion Project's Sun Room with the wicker furniture!
There are a lot of likeminded people thought also for anna and edd to check with phil about some of the stuff they are looking for 😊😊😊
It was absolutely beautiful i loved it
I wish i could buy beautiful pieces i was transported to a different time 😊😊😊😊😊
Love this antique shopping especially when you buy Stuff! ...... can’t wait to see you buy lots of paintings/pictures
It’s been a pleasure, you 2 are precious n the crew for sure
The hummingbird Napoleon chairs will be beautiful in the entry. I can’t wait to see the sofa and chairs refurbished.
Bonjour Ed and Anna, thank you for taking us with you, it was lovely and I enjoyed every minute of it. Congratulations on what you got today! - Rosalind -
love when you two are out and about antiquing ,love the old Antique Furniture thanks for a magic day out
So excited you bought the chairs for the entrance hall Anna and Edd. 😉😁
You found some very nice pieces, hope you have enough time to refurbishing them before rental season. Where there is a will there is a way! 🙏❤️
My favorite is the shop where she recovered furniture 🥰
Those palm lamps would look amazing in the sunroom at the passion project!
Loved today's shopping, beautiful antiques.
Bonjour très beau vlog vous nous avez montré de très très belles choses 😊
Ed & Anna
What great pieces that you both like. Love the chairs. I hope who stay in the great home take care of the furniture and items. I work in the hotel business and customers can be damaging. Love the video
James
It was a journey of bliss going round with you at the fair, your sensible approach and your purchases will slowly fill up Passion project.
For a business, go big!!! Loved all the pieces!!!
This is a great episode. Everything is just soooooo beautiful.
You two have such exquisite taste in furnishings. No charity shop junk for you two! Love these antiquing vlogs.
You did purchase some exceptional things, I really love the sofa and four chairs that Anna picked out they will look stunning when they are recovered!!!
You are so great when it comes to getting bargains!
This is the third time I have joined you at this fair and the vlog could be twice as long and still too short……..” I love the qualiry of Alex and Fabrice’s stock but also get excited by “the bargains”!!! The pair of chairs is Magic and will lift the hall. No comment on the Peacock thrones………. You are both,fair with prices.
So glad you got the Napoleon armchairs! So much more impressive than those rattan riffraff pieces that clash and cheapen the side chests.
Can't wait to see the chairs and sofa restored love the two chairs for the hallway ❤
Love the green of the coffee set, amazing.❤
Me too!
Alex is a sweetheart he loves you both . Beautiful antiques in he’s shop always if I was in France I would love to go to see him. I will be after 16th Dec just in time for Christmas.
Gorgeous purchase Anna….I’m sure you can find a great upholsterer !
I love you are bargain hunters and stick to what you can afford. Will love to see your bargain chair's when they are recovered🙂
Love those chairs for the hall. I drooled with excitement at just about everything you shared with us. Thanks for taking us along.😊
Those palm lamps would look good in the entrance hall with the rattan chairs! Great episode, love everything!
So many beautiful lamps, chandeliers, ceramic pieces to die for. 👍🏻
I loved every minute of this vlog and I wish I had been with you at this Antique fair. Thank you very much for the education on French antiques.
Glad you picked up the chairs at Fabrice’s. My mouth was watering.
Plus, what an entry statement.
The lovely wood pieces are dark and think the hilt chairs will just lift the area.
Now, wondering what fabric you’ll select for the reupholstering project.
I had a couple of French-style chairs recovered. They had upholstery tacks. The man who recovered them replaced those with the double cording technique. It gives it a much more refined look. (And cost three times what I initially bought them for.🤣)
It’s such fun when you two go shopping 🛍 Loved it.
I do hope Billy buys that chandelier...it's perfect! 🥰
Just wooow ❤❤❤ absolutely gorgeous….
Your French furniture is to die for 🥰🥹❤️
I think the lighted palm trees would look great by the front door. 😉 I was hoping you would revisit the first shop and buy the 2 commodes.
Modern approach to a wobbly leg is a long screw. It's sacrilegious, but for a rental it's what you need. Use 6"-8" screws and countersink with wood plug fill. Wood glue as well.
Not a traditional fix, but it's cheaper and will last
Such beautiful pieces y'all have purchased!!!
I absolutely love shopping and attending auctions with you. You both have an eye for finding the goods!!
Love the chairs and chandeliers. So much lovely furniture. Thanks for taking us with you.
I love the Green chair
The Antique stalls there are a few next level! Just exquisite pieces; how can you stop yourselves??🌟
I LOVE those hummingbird chairs... and that single green chair... wow, so beautiful!!
All the monkey patterned fabric chairs/settees would be great in a conservatory with those palm floor lamps and lots of plants!!
So fun shopping with you! I myself would center each Napoleon on the walls, mirrors above. Nice Vases on each and no chairs at all. Who is going to sit in the entryway, you're either coming or going. Maybe use the center table in the entryway as a sort of welcome station for your guests, ie, a memory book that your guests could sign and add a special word or 2 about their stay. I've seen those before in mountain cabins, it's great fun to read about the other folks experiences!
From Clearwater Fl. Cheers!
Omg,,, I love that whole set what a great find, so lucky ,,, wow ,,,, I love it even ragged like that I could live with it
Thank you for taking us along with you. This is so fun! Anna you have such a beautiful personality. When I saw you with Stephanie Jarvis. I instantly wanted to be friends with you. Never change sweetheart. You are precious! And I love how you and Ed interact. Makes me feel like we are walking along with you! 😊
Love all the pieces you got. Love the pieces that were over budget as well 😂😂😂 Anna’s bargain must have been under 1000 euros I’m guessing. Can’t wait to see how you renovate it 😍🙏
Love everything you purchased. Waiting to see what Billy decided 😁
Nice choices. The mirror was a steal. l would just remove the handles on the urn finials and touch up the gilding. I don't think they would be missed. The two chairs are stunning. They are perfect for the entrance hall. The fabric is beautiful.
Today's Antique furniture hunt was very FUN! Great buys!!!!
You did a great job today! I love the Napoleon Trois chairs for the entry! Bravo!
Oh, what fun it is to go antiquing with you both. You have a lot of beautiful things at great prices. I am guessing 400€ for the sofa and chairs. I love those chairs for the entry.❤
That mirror is a gem.
Awe, what a lovely vlog today, congratulations on the new pieces,they will look amazing..
❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
I loved watching you both in the market ,it was wonderful too see the antiques
Hi both sending you love Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
😂, That's what I call stealth shopping.👍
Congratulations on your Treasures and what Great prices, shopping in a Candy Store, Merci Beaucoup ❤️🇫🇷❤️
Some beautiful antiques , I was spoilt for choice! Everything you bought I really liked too and that Napoleon table was stunning! Merci beaucoup Anna and Ed for taking me with you to the antique furniture fair!
The chairs are perfect for the entry! Were you fooling us with the rattan chairs?!😂
Anna I love the place with all that beautiful floral furniture! That’s some of my favorite styles 👍❤️
The partner of Billy's favorite dealer in Laval is an upholsterer if you need one, she is brilliant and does it as a sideline so you wouldn't pay usual costs.
Love the chairs in place of the rattan!! Good buy!
