Holy Moly I can, believe the picture of that Lion. Michael is beyond talented. But of coarse we all know that. I see him winning a huge award with that picture. Amazing.
That black dress on Pavlina was a "WOW". She has the body of a model but better. I'm so glad she showed us. I agree wearing that black dress with the boots was pretty cool.
Pavlina was SENSATIONAL in those dresses. Svelte figure. Beautiful...The saris were exquisite, one better than the next. Absolutely gorgeous. Fun to see Michael there.
Very pleased to see Pavlina smiling and happy. She’s got a lot of emotional anxiety to overcome. So thankful that the LaLande family has given her safe haven
Stephanie and Michael, so lovely when we see you both sharing the screen, because if it wasn’t for your initial inspiration for the chateau we wouldn’t be here... ❤❤❤ much love and gratitude.. 🎉
I just loved how Michael's eyes grew three sizes when Pavlina walked in wearing the black. I'd bet a buck or two that behind the book his mouth dropped too😮😮😮. Isn't she stunning. 🤗❤️🌈🕊️💙💛
Yes, he reacted in a very positive way. Pavlina is understated, but an absolute knock out in those dresses. Lovely figure. Michael is so expressive, he's fun. Glad he's there. Wonder how long before he has to go somewhere.
Loved the cadeaux today! Such beautiful gifts and letters. Also loved your jumper Stephanie. It was so elegant and such a gorgeous colour. Also loved your couch cushions too. Hi from Australia, the land of doonas, ugg boots and great chocolates!!
Gosh I had forgotten that I sent that book ! I find that the images have not aged that is why is it one of my favorite books. Happy that you love it. XO
Beautiful gifts! I enjoyed very much. Pavlina is beautiful and becoming so stylish, She reminds me of a Hollywood movie star from the 30's. Love to all ❤
Both dresses looked beautiful... but Pavlina would make a paper bag look great and then she looks up and flashes that smile... what a stunner! Trust us Aussies turning a lovely sounding word like Duvet into Doona! ❤🦘
I love watching Pavlina blossoming into such a beautiful chatheau woman. Not that she wasn't before- but she is like a fine wine. Just getting better with age. She looked awesome in the black dress.
I literally stopped midway through the video to gasp at the little animal embroidery/stitchery. I love it too. ❤️ And I do so love you all. Pavlina is beautifully wonderful - be it in a lovely evening dress or in the garden. I adore her. You make my quite small life here in MN larger with your joy. Keep smiling, lovely Stephanie.
Pavlina looked amazing in those dresses .Shaken not stirred Bond party would be ideal. Loved all the presents you have received. Loved watching as the normal. Merci beaucoup .A bientot😘
Daisy if you are reading this I loved your letter. I was like you when I was your age and had many dreams of my future home. Keep on dreaming as dreams can come true. Pavlina and Michael joining in today is always a pleasure. Pavlina you are so beautiful, I am glad you showed us a little fashion show. I loved the embroidered tree of animals - amazing work! Once again everyone is so generous, with perfectly fitting and wonderful gifts. The gifts that keep on giving with love and support of charities in need.
Good morning, a Doona is what you call a Duvet, and a Tim Tam Slam is even better with a hot drink. Pavlina, You made that dress look WONDERFUL, you also looked fantastic in the dress you were wearing in the photo shoot with Jarad. Keep up the great work and the fun times everyone.
A Doona is a Duvet/ continental quilt. Loved the dresses on Pavlina, that black one looked stunning. Winderful gift for wonderful people. I wear Ugg slippers around the house, so warm and comfy. Thank you for sharing 💕🇦🇺
Pavlina looks stunning in the black dress but I was so looking forward to seeing the beautiful red dress too. I hope we see it on Ombeline or Hanne whoever is the right size for it. Annalise would be the perfect recipient for the bracelet with the scissors on it as it couldn’t be more appropriate than for her to wear it. The embroidered tree of life seems too precious for a cushion but deserves to be framed and hung if not in Philip’s study, then maybe one of the hallways? And as for the saris, they are GORGEOUS! My mother made me a costume for the Latin American section when I did ballroom dancing many years ago and it was from the same colour sari as the orange and gold one you received Stephanie. I loved the material so much that I still have the dress to this day.😅💃🏻🎁👏❤️
My friend from Pakistan lived in a villa with many sisters. She and her sisters wore jewel colored sauris. Her parents arranged her marriage with an engineering student in America. She politely waited in his efficiency apartment, thinking the apartment complex was his home. We talked on the phone three hours a night. She was educated in British schools in Pakistan. Her exams were verbal, and essay. Multiple choice exams were not her forte. We both made the grade, and upgraded pay scale jobs, thanks to the study sessions.
That embroidery of the woodland animals and tree needs a frame... Phillip will know what frame will be best. It's stunning stunning for his study. I love it. Those dresses look so good on Pavlina. Whow. Suggestion... Maybe the bangle with scissor for your hairdresser....just for the moment can't remember her name now..... Sorry.
😂😂😂😂 you make me roll with laughter. You discuss the face to tea cups and the swimming in the tease...😂 so much fun. Love all things summer party! Enjoy 😮😮😮😮😮😮 the Suri fabric ❤
Stephanie, I would frame the animal family tree rather than turn it into a pillow. Pavlina, you are even more gorgeous in your new dresses. Michael, you are such a talented photographer. Philip, you're slipping, missing Michael's pun. Can't wait to see Davey and his latest plans. 😍
Hi Everyone, I so enjoyed seeing all the beautiful gifts today.Miss Daisy I certainly hope you can visit at LaLande one day it would be so wonderful.I too started watching Escape to the Chateau during lock down here in the United States and thats how I found many Chateau owners.Have a wonderful day.❤
I'm so exited to see what you do with the saris! I adore Indian fabrics, sari, kalamkari embroidery and blockprints, and they're very suitable for 18th century interior stylings as these were the rage when they hit Europe through export. I've a couple of sari myself I've not yet figured out what to make with them but I had the idea of turning one into a roman blind with the sash part on the lowest bit so you can have the detailed design showing without pulling it down entirely, for my bedroom. It would have to be well lined to keep the silk from fading. It would take half the fabric to do and the other half could be matching pillows or something. One sari is usually 6 or 7 yards! Very generous gifts, and Pavlina is stunning in those dresses! Mummy will love the uggs, I know I can't live without mine, but I'm also in a snowy country. 😉
Oh my gosh, the Find Jesus book had me yelling into the screen "keep the page still for a minute please!" Phillip I saw the design on your bracelet and I agree, it's very attractive. You received some beautiful items again this time..wow!
Stephanie really comes to life when Michael is around, and he gets super cheery as well. Nice couple - they shared this dream of a chateau way back when - back in the day. And just look at how LaLande is coming along. Those dreams are becoming reality, and that's a special bond. Beyond friendship.
Since Michael was part of this Cadeaux, I just want to pass on that because of you, I have started watching the current Netflix series about F1 racing. I'm just started watching the other day. There are 5 seasons to watch!! How do you handle the jet lag crisscrossing between time zones ?
What fun deciding what to do with saris. A duvet cover is a great idea, but the best thing I ever did was turn one into a sheath dress and long jacket, for a friend.
About Michael's love for water... I've thought of an excellent way to give him a pool without breaking the bank .! An above ground pool! You can get them in various sizes and depths. Some can be quite big and deep so would be perfect for swimming in. This is the time to buy one and get it set up for summer, then you can have it for years to come until you eventually get around to installing the proper in ground pool. All in favor give a thumbs up below! 👍🏻
Wow, Pavlína, what an absolute bombshell! That black dress was unbelievable on you. It looks like it was absolutely made for you. What fun. I’m so disappointed. The little red and white one was not going to fit you Stephanie that would’ve been so beautiful. I wonder if it could be altered. It was fun to have Michael in the mix! Wonderful time at Château Lalonde. 🦔💜🤟🏻🤗🇺🇸
The embroidery should be framed considering the amount of work that has gone into it, instead of a cushion cover in a study. That way everyone gets to enjoy it and be inspired by the craftsmanship.
In Ohio they had bars that had peanuts and the shells went on the floors. There was a huge barrel ghat held the peanuts and you could refill your table bowls for no costs eat and drink.
A doona is a quilt. I prefer to call them quilts. Stephanie, you are right. The sacrilege is not using beautiful objects. I love the saris. They are wonderful! If not tablecloths, you could maybe use them for curtains? Thank you for the video!
It's quite funny to hear Philip's fixation for the words of all kind :) As an non-native speaker I can totally understand his fascination. Every time it is like a language lesson.
Holy Moly I can, believe the picture of that Lion. Michael is beyond talented. But of coarse we all know that. I see him winning a huge award with that picture. Amazing.
That black dress on Pavlina was a "WOW". She has the body of a model but better. I'm so glad she showed us. I agree wearing that black dress with the boots was pretty cool.
Pavlina was SENSATIONAL in those dresses. Svelte figure. Beautiful...The saris were exquisite, one better than the next. Absolutely gorgeous. Fun to see Michael there.
Wow, Pavlina looked amazing in the dresses. The letter by the lil girl was so sweet❤
PAVLINA... Absolutely breathtaking in that black dress. ❤ #Stunning
Please frame that woodland tapestry.....its fabulous
Very pleased to see Pavlina smiling and happy. She’s got a lot of emotional anxiety to overcome. So thankful that the LaLande family has given her safe haven
Pavlina! Who knew you were a runway model! Absolutely gorgeous!
Pavlina looks fabulous in both dresses! What a lovely young woman. It’s so fun to have Michael Potts back!
Always fantastic to see Michael Potts join the gang. Wonderful gifts today. Just beautiful. Enjoy all your blessings. Love from Vermont, USA ❤
Beautiful gifts and letters. Nice to have Michael and Pavlina join in. Pavlina you look beautiful in the gowns. 🦋
Wow Michael that photo is magnificent. You are a true artist. I am a fellow S African with a love for the bush and birds,
I bet the bird watching made for great pictures. I love to hear Michael sharing his adventures.
What a beautiful picture of the Lion.
Doona is what you call a duvet ❤ 👋 🇦🇺
In Australia.
Stephanie and Michael, so lovely when we see you both sharing the screen, because if it wasn’t for your initial inspiration for the chateau we wouldn’t be here... ❤❤❤ much love and gratitude.. 🎉
I just loved how Michael's eyes grew three sizes when Pavlina walked in wearing the black. I'd bet a buck or two that behind the book his mouth dropped too😮😮😮. Isn't she stunning. 🤗❤️🌈🕊️💙💛
Yes, he reacted in a very positive way. Pavlina is understated, but an absolute knock out in those dresses. Lovely figure. Michael is so expressive, he's fun. Glad he's there. Wonder how long before he has to go somewhere.
I have a feeling that Michael will be photographing Pavlina sometime soon! 😊
Loved the cadeaux today! Such beautiful gifts and letters.
Also loved your jumper Stephanie. It was so elegant and such a gorgeous colour. Also loved your couch cushions too.
Hi from Australia, the land of doonas, ugg boots and great chocolates!!
@@jennifercampbell7698😅I wondered about donna's and doonas.
😊
Not only should you have a Bond party, but maybe a sari and Indian themed night❤️
Pointillism I think
Salmar organized a Bond party...disco ball and all.
Gosh I had forgotten that I sent that book ! I find that the images have not aged that is why is it one of my favorite books. Happy that you love it. XO
Pavlina…the dresses were stunning on you!😊
Michele has such a sweet expression, love him❤️
I adore Pavlina, she is so beautiful on the inside as well as the outside! She looked stunning in both dresses!
Pavlina, you're a beauty on the inside and out! Thanks for all you do (and everyone else) 💕💕
Beautiful gifts! I enjoyed very much. Pavlina is beautiful and becoming so stylish, She reminds me of a Hollywood movie star from the 30's. Love to all ❤
Pavlina is gracious and beautiful.
I use Sari's as table cloths.
Yes, a quiet, svelte woman. Pavlina is a classic.
More beautiful gifts! Wow! Pavlina looking stunning 😁
Both dresses looked beautiful... but Pavlina would make a paper bag look great and then she looks up and flashes that smile... what a stunner!
Trust us Aussies turning a lovely sounding word like Duvet into Doona! ❤🦘
Michael Potts is great, so happy he is back at LaLande.
I love watching Pavlina blossoming into such a beautiful chatheau woman. Not that she wasn't before- but she is like a fine wine. Just getting better with age. She looked awesome in the black dress.
Wow Pavlina looks stunning in the dresses!
Pavlina those dresses looked lovely on you. A bond theme night would be great and Michael as James Bond 😀
I literally stopped midway through the video to gasp at the little animal embroidery/stitchery. I love it too. ❤️ And I do so love you all. Pavlina is beautifully wonderful - be it in a lovely evening dress or in the garden. I adore her. You make my quite small life here in MN larger with your joy. Keep smiling, lovely Stephanie.
Michael seems like a great guy!

Oh Pavlina...you are one beautiful girll and belong in those dresses. Just stunning on you. Definitely a Bond girl!!
Hi Helen Dorning.
How are you today? 🌹🌿
Love that apron Michael! The embroidered tree is excellent. I’d frame it. All lovely gifts❣️👏🏻
I agree to frame it. Easier to keep clean and preserve for future generations.
I saw it & thought that's THE Tree of Life!
Good morning, a Doona is what you call a Duvet, and a Tim Tam Slam is even better with a hot drink. Pavlina, You made that dress look WONDERFUL, you also looked fantastic in the dress you were wearing in the photo shoot with Jarad. Keep up the great work and the fun times everyone.
Enjoyed the video so much, thanks Micheal for popping in, have a wonderful week
Love to hear Michael talk about his travels. He is such a gentleman. He really should be the next James Bond!
This was fun. Michael added a lot to this vlog.
What wonderful gifts! Such generous people! Thanks for sharing ❤
Pavlina looks gorgeous in those dresses! Love love love the saris especially the orange one. Again such lovely gifts for such deserving people 🥰
Pavlina looked stunning in those dresses
Super sweet letter Daisy.
You could be really radical and use the Saris as Saris for an Indian theme party! Complete with different curries and side dishes.
Ooo good idea! 🎉
WOW Pavlina, the black dress on you, just stunning !!!! Both actually !!!
Waterlog is a superb book, one of a trilogy and you would ALL love it. Bravo xxx
Love the gifts from around the world
A Doona is a Duvet/ continental quilt. Loved the dresses on Pavlina, that black one looked stunning. Winderful gift for wonderful people. I wear Ugg slippers around the house, so warm and comfy. Thank you for sharing 💕🇦🇺
The saris are gorgeous. Pavlina looked spectacular in both dresses. It is so nice when Michael is home and is part of Chateau Unwrapped.
Beatiful! people are so kind and generous. Pavlina, just exquisite in those dresses. I have made things from Saris before......stunning. Sandi x
Pavlina looked stunning in the beautiful dresses. All the gifts were so thoughtful and amazing!🙏❤️
Pavlina was perfection. The Sara's are stunning .. Orange and Pink for me!
Beautiful gifts again.
Absolutely awesome gifts. The black dress on Pavlina was stunning. It is perfect for her. The Sari collection is also stunning.
Also - how amazing Paulina looks in the dresses. x
Pavlina looks stunning in the black dress but I was so looking forward to seeing the beautiful red dress too. I hope we see it on Ombeline or Hanne whoever is the right size for it. Annalise would be the perfect recipient for the bracelet with the scissors on it as it couldn’t be more appropriate than for her to wear it.

Yes, Raffles is a great hotel, where the peanuts were still strewn over the famous bar floor when we visited in 2017.
You are all so generous with your time and good cheer. THanks for sharing!
It's great to see Michael back ! Such lovely gifts. Lots of love from USA❤

So glad I could pop in during the Live. I will be watching the beginning that I missed. What fun.
Pavlova looks like a model
😂😂😂😂 you make me roll with laughter. You discuss the face to tea cups and the swimming in the tease...😂 so much fun. Love all things summer party! Enjoy 😮😮😮😮😮😮 the Suri fabric ❤
Stephanie, I would frame the animal family tree rather than turn it into a pillow. Pavlina, you are even more gorgeous in your new dresses. Michael, you are such a talented photographer. Philip, you're slipping, missing Michael's pun. Can't wait to see Davey and his latest plans. 😍

Frame that Tree of Life embroidery

Such generosity.
A Doona is a Duvet or quilt. Not sure if you know what a Kiwi is but they are New Zealanders.
BRAVO !!! AGAIN… 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🌟❤️
I hope Daisy is well from Crohn's disease! If not, get well soon. You wrote a lovely letter.xx
That beautiful needlework would be lovely framed.
What a joy this vlog was & wow wow wow Paulina 😍. ❤️🇬🇧
Oh my gosh, the Find Jesus book had me yelling into the screen "keep the page still for a minute please!" Phillip I saw the design on your bracelet and I agree, it's very attractive. You received some beautiful items again this time..wow!
So happy to hear Steph give Nicolas Fairfield a shout out! I want him to date Michael petherick!
Perhaps an India theme party for all those beautiful saris
You and Michael are a good match.
They were together for about 10 years or so. Since University . It's great they can be great friends.
Perhaps
Stephanie really comes to life when Michael is around, and he gets super cheery as well. Nice couple - they shared this dream of a chateau way back when - back in the day. And just look at how LaLande is coming along. Those dreams are becoming reality, and that's a special bond. Beyond friendship.

Hi Love ❤️
How are you today? 🌹🌿
Frame the embroidered tree will look beautiful x
Since Michael was part of this Cadeaux, I just want to pass on that because of you, I have started watching the current Netflix series about F1 racing. I'm just started watching the other day. There are 5 seasons to watch!! How do you handle the jet lag crisscrossing between time zones ?
I love knowing Michael is part of F1 too. I became hooked on it from the Netflix series and now I watch all of the racesz
Pavlina...WOW ❤ such a perfect fit for a lovely woman. Enjoyed the program thanks
Pavlina looks stunning in that dress !
What fun deciding what to do with saris. A duvet cover is a great idea, but the best thing I ever did was turn one into a sheath dress and long jacket, for a friend.

You can wear Ugg type boots as slippers, as I do. So, so comfortable and warm!!
Wow, Pavlína, what an absolute bombshell! That black dress was unbelievable on you. It looks like it was absolutely made for you. What fun. I’m so disappointed.

13:01 I have one just like it! It's adorable. True vintage from the 70s or 80s ❤
Eileen’s embroidery is called the Tree of Life, I started mine in the eighties! Yet to be finished, I’m ashamed now.
A doona is a quilt. I prefer to call them quilts. Stephanie, you are right. The sacrilege is not using beautiful objects. I love the saris. They are wonderful! If not tablecloths, you could maybe use them for curtains?
Thank you for the video!
It's quite funny to hear Philip's fixation for the words of all kind :) As an non-native speaker I can totally understand his fascination. Every time it is like a language lesson.
Waterlog is a great adventure... I learned about the book from the Vlog: Niki Positano; also an entertaining watch. Hope you enjoy the book!
You can have the needlework framed.
