Antiques Buying Trip Day 11: Chateau Tour
On our last day of the Antiques Buying Trip, Greg and I had finished everything we needed to do, so we headed to southern Belgium to visit the Chateau de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne. The lovely chateau dates to 1450 and has several rooms decorated in period furnishings from the 17th century. Although it's somewhat of a "busman's holiday", we enjoy visiting historical...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 10: WWII Nazi Camp
Greg and I are history buffs, so we always look forward to doing a little sightseeing at the end of our Antiques Buying Trips in Europe. We are especially interested in World War II historical sites, as both of our grandfathers landed on the beaches in Normandy. Although we've visited quite a few WWII Nazi concentration camps, the Nazi work...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 9: Brewery Tour!
Many folks are curious about where we stay when we travel to Europe. For this Antiques Buying trip, we decided to try out a 15th century brewery that has a hotel attached, called Hotel Carolus. Back in 1471, a group of women lived together and did good works (known as Beguines - similar to nuns but not exactly), including taking...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 8: Gas Up
After a week driving across Europe visiting antique markets and wholesale dealers, we've finished buying a wonderful selection of antique furniture, chairs, and vintage chandeliers. We'll still visit another indoor market to focus on smaller decorative items, such as Blue Delft ceramics, vintage chalkware and enamelware, and antique religious treasures. However, as we no longer need the large van to...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 7: Meet Mishka!
After a week in Europe, Greg and I met Mishka, a very friendly and helpful French bulldog. We love animals - in fact all five of our fuzzy children were rescued, so we always enjoy making new fuzzy friends. As you know, we spend a good deal of time loading the van during our Antiques Buying trips, so it was...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 5: Snow Blizzard
We weren't expecting snow in March, but we ended up driving through a snow blizzard in the French countryside on the fifth day of the Antiques Buying trip. After taking care of business for EuroLuxHome.com in the hotel room in the morning, we headed out with a few flakes coming down. By later in the afternoon, a good five inches...

Antiques Buying Trip: Shipping Containers
"How do you ship your antique furniture from Europe?" is a question we are often asked at EuroLux Antiques. All of the wonderful antiques and vintage lighting that we find on an antiques buying trip are loaded in either a 40 or 45 foot container and shipped from Europe to the Port of Charleston in South Carolina. From there the...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 3: Gummi Couture
Sometimes when I'm tired, I get a little silly. On the third day of our Antiques Buying Trip in Europe, I believe jet-lag was catching up with us, as evidenced by my explanation of gummi bear couture. Despite the long days, I hope you're still along for the ride as we search the French and Belgian countryside looking for wonderful...

Antiques Buying Trip Day 3: Street Markets
"Where do you buy your antiques?" is a question we are often asked. Our methods are much like those of Mike and Frank on the popular History Channel TV show, American Pickers. We rent a large van that we drive across the country on a quest to find unusual, interesting, and beautiful antique furniture - we just do our searching...
