  2. It would be nice if you might share some of your favorite brocante bargaining tips with us. What's your favorite way to open the conversation with a dealer? I've wondered if it is any different than it is in the U.S. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I must say I so enjoyed your post about shopping with your daughter. I have three daughters and they too have inherited the vintage bug.

  3. Obviously Jo and Carol above are correct. More of you and your chateau, if possible with before/after photos for comparison so that we can see how you have imprinted your own style on it. Also, it would be nice to see more photos of the brocantes where you carry out your truffling, especially showing all the laden tables that you encounter.
    Personally, I love to see all the differing styles of architecture in the buildings around France, and the shabbier and more decrepit they are the better - we all like to look at a ruin and think ..."if only".
    Finally - you've kept us in suspenders for far too long now over the mysterious steps that you found at the back of the barn(?). Your readers need to know what, if anything, become of your excavations. (Rant over - going for a Cadbury moment now!)

    A bientot.

  5. oh easy all of the above lovely suggestion plus... the small moments in your days..the lovely open markets, buckets of flowers, the things that make you special, your lovely take on the world...your our very own French Journal..Editor in Chief of the 'Simply Chateau' local rag xxx
    You could always feature(occasionally) other French blogs too maybe you meet them at your fairs, or what about fab recipes you have made your own..or even features out of those fabulous French magazines, that we cannot get our hands on.......

  6. I agree with the other comments, would love to see your chateau. Also I would love to see the treasures you decide to keep for yourself, you sell such gems your home must be bursting with items we can only dream about. What about treasures you have brought back to life do you restore or repurpose items that you find?

  8. Well i tell you what we would like to know here in hereford. We would like to know about all the french characters in your local village. The odd snap shot of the shop owners,a bit of a noisy in to what they all have for sale in their shops. Perhaps a sly snap shot over a few garden walls, see some of those nice french gardens.
    Love your writing look forward to your posts ever week. Shelly

  10. More photos of the Chateau please and the treasures you have kept on your truffling tours. I'm liking Lynn's idea of a gite attached to the Chateau so we could all come and stay. You could do Brocantes tours or have a shop in one of your buildings..... Now I think I am getting carried away....
