- We had so much fun taking you along to Newark Fair, apparently Europe's largest antique fair! I have slight regret at not getting the Chandelier, should I have picked it up?
Would love your recommendations for French markets.

In France:
1. Marché aux Puces de Clignancourt (Paris St-Ouen flea market)
2. La Grande Braderie de Lille
3. Brocante De Maroilles
4. La Réderie D’Amiens
5. Foire Aux Puces De Crèvecœur-Le-Grand
6. Brocante De Durtal
7. Château De Chambord Flea Market
8. Nantes Flea Market: Brocante Place Viarme
9. Lyon Flea Market
10. Grande Foire À La Brocante De Pézenas
Some are on a weekly basis, others just once or twice a year. Some are extremely high-end (e.g. brocante de Maroilles), etc. I love your idea of a road trip visiting some flea markets.
Love the way Ollie’s face lights up when talking about meeting Laura and the early days❤
Absolutely! Love going to flea markets or treasure hunting as I like to think of it. My grandma and I spent many happy hours “plundering” as she called it, so delighted to ride along. ❤
Hi Laura. Most enjoyable seeing Ollie and yourself visiting the Antique Fair and also reminiscing about the start of your romance. It's always difficult deciding what objects to choose for your home. A tip I would give is to buy what you love. The right pieces both expensive or inexpensive will jump out at you. Amanda x
A fun video, thank you. The most recent Design Notes video about a shop called Berdoulet shows a cheese strainer being used to drain and store cutlery.
yes, I watched that too. What an amazing store/home!
Loved this video. Looking forward to more trips with you. You find the best things! 👍🏼
Thoroughly enjoyed your visit to the antique fair and memory lane. I have a similar print of an egg and it is in my kitchen. I also enjoyed seeing the kitchen showroom. Happy Easter.
Loved the video. Loved that you did the memory tour & pics. That was fun. Show & fairs like that do take a learning curve. You learn favorite vendors that are usually in the same place every time & which ones have the fairest prices. Sandi
Ooh lovely vlog. Happy Easter Laura and Ollie x ❤
If you head to Newark antiques fair again I can really recommend going a little bit north of Lincoln to Hemswell antiques Centre! It’s brilliant!!
You both have such good taste and decor and you’re so nice together easy to listen to
Enjoyed shopping and Memory lane.Thanks for sharing❤
Camper Van w/Otto thru France and flea markets.... Hope you do this Adventure and take us along!
Great video, what an amazing flea market!! I love to hunt down great finds at places like this.
Enjoyed the video and look forward to the trip to France this summer!😄
Nice vlog you two.
It softened my stoney heart.
And I just looked in to see what you saw on the stalls.
Hi Laura,Ollie and little Otto. The antiques fair looked great,in spite of the weather, and is the sort of place I love. It’s so easy to be seduced into buying many bits and pieces so I admire you for only purchasing the items you did. It was lovely to return to Loughborough where you and Ollie first met- I was offered a place there but ended up choosing a university in London.Take care and happy Easter! 💖🌸🌷
Just fabulous 🥰🐣🐣have a fab Easter ..xx
Loved this and had no idea it exsisted!
Love it when you take us shopping. Wish I could be there.
Definitely a visit to France. So many beautiful things I have seen in other RUclips posts.
Love flea markets. Always take a wagon or market basket with wheels. I generally wear a small crossbody bag or wear a backpack. Great finds!
only live down the road should have said you could have popped for a cuppa hunni lol xx
We live not far from Nottingham and I had no idea they had an antiques fair in Newark, might have to pay it a visit in October!! Also so lovely to see round the Devol showroom! I believe the founders studied at Loughborough Uni which is why the workshop and showroom is in Loughborough😊
Devol are doing a series on HGTV at the moment, called For the Love of kitchens. Mondays at 9pm.
Looks like an interesting weekend! X
Now you have Otto, you'll miss him every time he's not with you. We started holidaying in Brixham, Devon when we got Mimi. I can't bear going abroad these because of her. 🐶🐶🐶
We have a TV show here in the US, “For The Love of Kitchens”, which feature the deVol beautiful designs. The showroom must be wonderful to visit. Love your videos! Happy Easter!
Thanks for taking us with you behind the scenes on your field trip! I live near the largest antique fair in the US -- Brimfield -- and it is definitely not for the faint of heart (nor for anyone without sturdy walking shoes and a collapsable wagon). Also, what a lovely coincidence that you and Ollie have the same alma mater as two of my other favorite YTers, @JamieandMegan. I wonder did you know each other at uni?
You guys brave walking in that weather
We go to Malvern sometimes and have had the same experience: not always full, very similar products, the same sellers tend to go every time and the prices get higher and higher! 😩 it’s still a great day out though, glad you had fun.
I would love to shop that Flea Market!😍🥰
I’m not the only one with a car that bits drop off of as soon as I leave my home county 😂Happy weekend ❤
The flea market in Lille is a lot of fun.
I love these kinds of videos. I think it works well with what you’re currently doing!❤
Isn’t the Vale of Belvoir lovely. Nice to see you in our neck of the woods. Keep safe x
Hi Laura, we where moving house in 2014 and almost bought a house in the road opposite the entrance to Newark fair, which also has an air museum next door. We didn't buy because the noise from the various shows they have while sitting in the garden would have been too much. We ended up moving from London to Norfolk and having seen your video this Easter weekend decided to visit the Peterborough festival of antiques. Its only an hour from us and we are going on the second day, Sat 8 so it is cheaper and just a day out and no rain due. We pass Newark when driving up to see family in Yorkshire so I will try and book a visit in October so we can stop off at Newark as you have recommended. Thank you.
The giant Shepton Flea is on tomorrow and they have lots of the same stalls. The good weather should bring more people out too 😊
I like the Newark fair- got the most amazing armchair for £45, but it was raining that weekend and we were also disappointed but the limited number of stalls. Suspect its much busier in warmer months
Love those places, do it all the time in Ontario 🇨🇦
I love the eggs!
Great video.😀
Last year we went all the way from vienna to the bretagne with our car (4500km) with a lot of stops in between. We did´nt have a ton of space in the car for additional stuff since we are 3 people in the car ;) but we went to a lot brocante and emmaus. my tip would be to stay a little while in one place, ask the locals where to go, because the brocantes and emmaus are very different ... some remote antique malls where especially good ;) emmaus is a chain of charity shops. You will find local calenders for brocantes online ...
I love car boots....or antique collections....but I also think you can pick up some of these items at charity shops... especially the furniture ones ...st John's hospice...or sue Ryder....look in your local papers ... Hope you find what you what for your bathroom... 🤞 And yes it's good to go back from where you met... happy days ....and just as important....back home to Otto 🐶🐾🐾....💝. Lovely to see you both....and you having a break from the Reno.... 😊
Hey, I go to Shepton often and saw most of the same stalls so I would say it's not worth the drive to the futhur ones. Would LOVE to see you antique shopping in France ❤❤❤
Love deVol kitchens.
Oh I would be in heaven!!
Both Shepton giant flea and antiques market are great
I'm with u , I want to do the same in France
Can I ask where you got the sherpa fleece sweater/jacket? I like the colour and fit under the oilskin jacket!
Could you and Ollie and the lil fur baby take a trip to France as they seem to have a lot of lovely items in their brocante and vide-greniers
Not sure if you follow French Country Life. The presenter lives in country France and many of her pottery pieces are of a similar taste to your own. She purchases them for 'very little' from her local Emmaus. Suggest you check out some of her vlogs for suggestions as to which part of the country she sources them. The thought of doing a buying holiday sounds wonderful. Good luck! Looking forward to your adventures ...... and wonderful finds!
Tons of chandeliers in the brocants in France!
Lots of tasteful antique shops in Bordeaux area but WHEN are they open? Hehe.Hope you choice of light fitting is soon found..🎉
Do they have estate sales in England? In the states you can find the most amazing things, especially art and books and I’d imagine in England it’d be even better!
Welcome in Provence, Isle sur la Sorgue where 400 antikers are awaiting for you. 👍🐕🦺😎
Im watching to try and identify where I want to book a stall for next weekend to sell some of my excessive oil lamp collection (: Laura, did you go to school near Bromsgrove or Sibford? I ask as your name and face seem real familiar to me. Under the car.. thats only an undertray, just cable tie it up, all my cars trays are cable tied xD
Have a look at " Inside Berdoulat " House and Garden channel on youtube, you may find the origin of the little pot with holes you bought at the fair x
Laura and Ollie, what a sweet couple you are! How nice that you’re both interested in antiquing. I’m so envious of all the crocks and pots you saw, as well as the wooden benches. Your home will be filled with beautiful objects and also with the shared memories of each piece you find. I have a huge collection of Fenton milk glass (an American glass company) I collected mostly in Oregon and Southern California. I also have a collection of McCoy pottery (American pottery). As well as mismatched English Bone China as there’s a British influence in my neck of the woods (Vancouver, Canada). I love Mid Century Modern teak furniture which is getting harder to find. MCM has made a huge comeback here, especially by younger generations who didn’t grow up with the style in the 1960s. Happy hunting to you. Looking forward to seeing what you find. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Sunbury and Richmond antique fair is meant to be good .x
Where does one get info about antiques fairs
Hey Laura, I live in the French countryside, le Perche (the French Cotswolds), there are lots of permanent flea markets, brocantes that are cheaper than any other regions in France. Feel free to DM me for places to go and stay.

Laura I have a chandelier just like the one you like for sale! Only £50 so let me know if you would like to see pictures
Where are your glasses, Ollie??
Not sure I would agree that Shelton mallet is better have been not that impressed. But I can say those toasted sandwiches were very poor typical of the Brits .go to any in Italy or France a million times better.
Thanks for sharing guys. Xx
Some years…. It’s never been the same since covid. Some people sell online mostly. So sad 😞
I enjoyed the trip around Newark with you - my husband and I have been a few times, but not since the pandemic started. I remember once the weather wasn’t so good, and being very disappointed by the number of stalls missing or packing up early. I imagine now many dealers sell online, so the fair probably isn’t as good as it once was. I also wonder whether Brexit has affected the continental dealers who used to fill their lorries with stuff and drive over here.
🥰🇨🇦
I just saw a warning about food that can kill dogs. In case you didn't already know I thought I would send it. "Just one grape, raisin, currant or sultana can be toxic so real caution should be taken with foods that contain them.”
Shepton Mallet is way better
This isn't a flea market, it's tripe
They’re wagons.
Please get a microphone to put on your camera. It picks up sound from the back, so when you point it towards yourself vlog style, you sound really muffled and all the background noise is crazy loud. It's such a shame!
How about. What u watched is free for u. So don’t complain
@@wendymckee6627 Wendy, not every form of criticism comes from a place of negativity or wanting to complain just for the hell of it :) I would like to see these videos reach their fullest potential. I'm sure there are fans who are hard of hearing and it might be difficult for them to hear what is being said entirely. At that point they might turn it off and not come back. For me personally I only find it off putting having to turn the volume up and down. Because guess what? I want to watch it. I've watched Laura for ages and love her content. Sometimes people say something precicely because they enjoy it, and not to be nasty.
