That was one of the most moving episodes. A child of 14yrs, a woman losing her father, locals reaching out. A true mixture of all that La Land represents, people coming together to share and love... ❤🇦🇺
When Marie took the hedgehog 🦔 and started squeaking it as she left the room, I couldn’t stop laughing! At first I thought she took it so she wouldn’t be annoyed by others constantly squeaking it, but then she started LOL just so funny. 💕
Selmar finally found something he does not do well, put on glass coasters....🌝...we still enjoy watching the chateau gift openings...and yes Selmar has an incredible laugh....Stephanie is always gracious and Philip is a very fine young man. Thank you all.
Stephanie, you look stunning in the black dress and headband! Nati, you also looked beautiful in white with the touch of colour in your head scarf. Selmar, Philip and Steve...handsome as ever. Lovely to spend time with all of you, very uplifting 🙏🏻❤️
Love watching your unwrapped videos! Much to my surprise someone sent you the Duchess Bakery 1st cookbook! My daughter-in-law Sarah worked on that cookbook, all the editing and styling. A funny story; they were living with us at the time and when they were shooting the photos Sarah would borrow a few items from my China cabinet to use. One morning I woke up and went into the kitchen, much to my surprise, my kitchen table was gone! It is on page 180 and quite a few others. In exchange she would bring home the goodies from the photo shoot, which were so amazing! We all gained a bit of weight that summer. Enjoy the book!
Indonesia represents!!! That's a Wayang Golek from West Java. Wayang is basically means (traditional) puppets. Love from your Indonesian fan living in India! ❤❤❤
@@felicitaforever1 interesting point of view! Any history in defining wayang as "drama"? Please let me know! But in Indonesia, wayang means puppet made from animal skin, or the wayang theatre play itself as written in Wikipedia (i.e. Let's play wayang!). In slank, we use the word wayang with suffix -an (wayangan), which make it means "stay up late". It refers to the tradition in java where the wayang theater play commonly started in the midnight. (i.e. Don't wayangan too much, it's not healthy!). I hope my answer suffice.
Lovely gifts as usual, but I must say that I was particularly touched by Linda’s art work and the inspiration behind it. I thank her for including the picture of the magnificent old tree and the story she included about it! That said, I think Stephanie looked smashing in the black dress!
ABSOLUTELY adore Jacob! Love the apron. Hope you have a Facebook jacob so we could see you outfits. You have a fan in Ohio because you are embracing all of your talents
While I so much enjoy the gifts you were sent, I had to retire for awhile to congratulate my brother on his 83rd birthday. He lives in California and was in the space industry for over half a century.
@@ibosquez5238 There were several people who were in NASA. Unfortunately, they have passed. We've always been proud of their contributions. "To the Moon and Beyond" & "May the 4th be with You".
Always fun to watch the unwrapping of the presents in different parts of the chateaux, you are all so appreciative of the gifts sent to you and your laughter is infectious. Thank you 💖💖💖
Love the video!!! The room you all are in is beautiful!!! Selmar is always a joy!!! Everyone is just wonderful!!! Thank you Stephanie for sharing your vlog!!! So enjoyable. Have a blessed week!!!
The walls of the entrance hall are amazing. I loved all the gifts and the touching messages and I enjoyed the laughter so much. Thank you to all the lovely people at the chateau and everybody who sent the presents.
I have always loved the Cadeaux series along with the Diaries.. How could you not? It's like being a kid again. Love all of the gifts! I just want you to know I am so happy you delighted in my gift. Yes, the large leaf in my arms is a concrete leaf cast from a natural butterbur leaf that grew threw my fence. And Philip ....ha ha ha...but it fit over the knit cap after all. Smiling throughout it all. Viva the Lake! Love to you all. -Linda Flora
Thoughtful gift...I don't understand why the cadeux episodes don't get as many views. I, like you, so enjoy this and that all monetary gains are given to charity just ups the ante imo
Such a spirited group enjoying each other and opening gifts. I love your camaraderie and ultimate friendship as it brings joy to me and others who experience this magic through the screen from afar. Thank you! 😊
I was brought to tears by the beautiful words of Linda from Pennsylvania. She reflects my feelings exactly. I love all of you for the joy you bring into our lives.
Loved watching the love and laughter, Such wonderful gifts,. I bet the home made drinks tasted amazing and strong lol. Jacob I think we will see of some time soon. What a lovely painting at the end and so meaning full. Stephanie looked amazing in the dress.
This has really reminded me of the art of gift giving...it was so much fun to watch the look of surprise, appreciation and joy on your faces. I love how personal each gift was and how much love went into sending them.
My first cousin Paula who was one of the first to pass away from covid back East Newfoundland loved butterflies and she would love that teacup. She was in her early 50's when she passed and we miss her dearly. Everytime I see anything butterfly I immediately think of Paula. How very generous and precious.
Such beautiful gifts! I love the apron that Jacob made - I think he’s 14 years old & requested to come to the chateau in a few years. I’d love to see an invitation extended to him over the school holidays. He sounds so interesting! The food hamper was so lovingly put together! With Phillip the first to consume the gin. Thank you once again to your team who assisted you today - as ever Selmar, Natie & Steve where great assistants 😊🇦🇺
Indeed a wonderful idea. Extending an invitation for a week to him would probably be a dream come true. I love the sound of his sense of fashion. I also love how at 14 he is already setting his course and charting his dream of owning a chateau. It would be so cool if he could meet his idol Stephanie.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Selmar! Many happy returns! The presents are thoughtful and beautiful ! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your gifts' adventures! Bisous from Alsace 🤣😙😍😘🏩🏩🏩
Bonjour to all at Lalande ! This was such a lovely afternoon with you. Really nice gifts showing us very talented people. Thank you for sharing your time with us. Cannot wait to see what is coming for Selmar birthday !
Wonderful evening spent watching the Vlog in 🇨🇦. Your laughter is contagious and uplifting. Happiness & good health to Selmar on his upcoming birthday. 👍💐🌸
Hello, Lalanders! Watching you open gifts is simply hilarious! Also, I love how much you enjoy each item and convey that graciously each time to the gift senders. Whenever Phillip is holding the camera, he emits a darling snort when he's tickled by a gift or gift response. You're all a joy to watch!
Such beautiful and generous gifts. I laughed so much when Stephanie dived into the straw in the delicious home made hamper and got covered in it! Jacob sounds as if he will be a wonderful addition to the LaLande team in future - what an interesting letter he wrote.
As always, it’s such a joy to watch all the beautiful, thoughtful gifts being opened by such beautiful, grateful and thoughtful recipients!! 💗 from Southern California!!
loved the whole sitting on edge of seat episode vlog, many thanks. I thought in the last diary episode that your box hedging around the roses in your walled garden might have the dreaded BOX BLIGHT, do check because in the UK Monty Don on gardeners world after struggling a couple of years to cure it, has had to take out all his box hedging and burn it. WCL
Loved this vlog tonight Stephanie.....so much laughter and joy. I laughed right along with you all. You receive such thoughtful gifts, it's amazing. And your response to all the people is genuine and honest from the heart!! Blessings to you all.
Natalia you looked so lovely as always :) love the banter between all of you xx Stephanie you looked lovely in the headband and dress I’m so glad it made it there eventually:)thank you for your kind condolences about my father very much appreciated. To commemorate my beloved fathers death from Covid may 8 a year this weekend I will let off white balloons with messages from us to him all we can do during lockdown. Love to all lovely lalonders xxxx
I thought we weren't allowed to see the entrance hall yet! How exciting to get a sneak peek! The wallpaper looks amazing, I can't wait to see what you've been doing with the rest of it!
glad to see ya'll! I am a little confused about the schedule. I thought it was Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. When nothing came on last night, I was worried something had happened.
Cadeaux at the Chateau is Mondays, Chateau Diaries are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Stephanie announced a while back that she would not be doing a "Sundays at the Chateau" every Sunday. I think they are every other Sunday.
I get confused to the schedule as well. But look at it like this... Every time I see a new post it's like a wonderful surprise present to myself. I love watching them with a fresh cup of coffee in a comfy chair.
I was amused by your response to Nati when you ate the chocolate she passed to you and you said...."you tricked me"...it fit the moment! You are so natural and entertaining Stephanie.
That was one of the most moving episodes. A child of 14yrs, a woman losing her father, locals reaching out. A true mixture of all that La Land represents, people coming together to share and love... ❤🇦🇺
Absolutely! I love how so many different cultures, fashions, etc are celebrated at Lalande! And Stephanie thoroughly seems to truly enjoy it all!!
I hope Jacob gets to LaLande - he sounds like a wonderful person. Nice to hear that younger generations still have a passion for the past.
Selmar, the carrot for Ruby has catnip in it! Glad you enjoyed the book Stephanie!
Awww, I have a cat rescue. I wanted to thank you for thinking of Ruby. I almost could cry
@@barbibutton9619 How awesome! I foster for VOKRA cat rescue in Canada! The catnip carrot I made as I make items for another rescue for fundraising
When Marie took the hedgehog 🦔 and started squeaking it as she left the room, I couldn’t stop laughing! At first I thought she took it so she wouldn’t be annoyed by others constantly squeaking it, but then she started LOL just so funny. 💕
When you all get to giggling and laughing about something, it's infectious and uplifting. Thanks for bringing so much joy to so many of us!
I think a legendary birthday is due for Selmar another reason to celebrate
Where can I donate for a party
STEPHANIE, The clear cup with lid was go great with the colorful chandelier you bought. Both in your office???
Jacob's letter was perfect.
Selmar finally found something he does not do well, put on glass coasters....🌝...we still enjoy watching the chateau gift openings...and yes Selmar has an incredible laugh....Stephanie is always gracious and Philip is a very fine young man. Thank you all.
Love Natie's dress and scarf tonight
She looked stunning.
Happy birthday to wonderful gifted and talented Selmer x
Stephanie, you look stunning in the black dress and headband! Nati, you also looked beautiful in white with the touch of colour in your head scarf. Selmar, Philip and Steve...handsome as ever. Lovely to spend time with all of you, very uplifting 🙏🏻❤️
I 🥫 mmented above that they all looked glamorous tonight. But the beauty is not just surface; they are all good people

Fantastic story! Thx for sharing.
I love background stories. Somehow, they feel like they unite us.
Natti your outfit is GORGEOUS! Love that look. You look fantastic
And that glass teapot looks like a honey or jam jar to me?
The entrance hall wallpaper is gorgeous. Another fun and humourous interlude in my day 🤗
Jacob sounds so lovely hope he gets to visit .fantastic presents as usual x
The straw on Stephanie’s sweater was hilarious! I laughed and laughed. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.
Her comment was priceless... Just been for a roll in the hay...
Selmar has the greatest laugh❤️
It is infectious n'est-ce pas...? And very genuine. Such a gracious soul is our Selmar.
Happy birthday for the 12th of May Selmar. All the best people are born then, me? I couldn't possibly comment!😀🐶🤩🐕😊
I was just going to comment on how “devious” it has become. Hahahaha. Lol. I wish I could be there to experience all of those laughters. ❤️
Indonesia represents!!! That's a Wayang Golek from West Java. Wayang is basically means (traditional) puppets. Love from your Indonesian fan living in India! ❤❤❤
Doesn’t Wayang mean drama ? Like in Singapore people say don’t wayang la, to mean don’t act.
Me.. from Indonesia too 😀.. just want to mention *wayang golek* it is from West Java👍 but you mentioned it first

I'm so happy to have found you, Stephanie! You and everyone else at Chateau LaLande make me smile!
ABSOLUTELY adore Jacob! Love the apron. Hope you have a Facebook jacob so we could see you outfits. You have a fan in Ohio because you are embracing all of your talents
Indeed. If he were to post the info I know many here who commented would love to see. Bravo you
While I so much enjoy the gifts you were sent, I had to retire for awhile to congratulate my brother on his 83rd birthday. He lives in California and was in the space industry for over half a century.
Please congratulate your brother; I have family that were in the space industry, too. What adventures!
@@mmeduplechin1577
Very cool.
Thank your brother for his service in the space industry. We have the space industry to thank for so much.

Thank you Stephanie for sharing your vlog!!! So enjoyable. Have a blessed week!!!
I absolutely love the walls in the new entrance hall. 💕
The walls of the entrance hall are amazing. I loved all the gifts and the touching messages and I enjoyed the laughter so much. Thank you to all the lovely people at the chateau and everybody who sent the presents.
Wow we get to see the entrance hall
Woohoo
Doesn’t it look beautiful 😍
Can't wait to see the chandelier.
Those Aboriginal art cards are stunning! I'd have them framed if I were you. :-)
I think Blooming Teas would be lovely in that beautiful cup. They're the closest to Fairy Tea I know.
Yes! I couldn’t remember what they were called, but that’s exactly what I was thinking. 🌺
What a wonderful group of people.......thank you!
The wallpaper in the entrance is gorgeous and I can see a glimpse of a beautiful vintage wall sconce too. Lovely!
Is it wallpaper or hand painted? Possibly Michael Pethrick?
I have always loved the Cadeaux series along with the Diaries.. How could you not? It's like being a kid again. Love all of the gifts! I just want you to know I am so happy you delighted in my gift.

Your painting was beautiful. And I love the pendants. Very thoughtful gifts.
@@barbibutton9619 It may be because it is a fairly new channel? Stephanie is like a little kid opening the packages and I love it. Thank you.
@@shawnhammond140 Awe, thank you.
Such a spirited group enjoying each other and opening gifts. I love your camaraderie and ultimate friendship as it brings joy to me and others who experience this magic through the screen from afar. Thank you! 😊
I love Naty's outfit!! The colors of the scarf are beautiful with her coloring. 😃
I was brought to tears by the beautiful words of Linda from Pennsylvania. She reflects my feelings exactly. I love all of you for the joy you bring into our lives.
I lost it at Selmar laughing at Stephanie covered in straw 😂
Me too
It almost looked as if the sweater was designed like that. So funny.
Natie looks stunning in the white dress with the hair wrap. major inspo for this spring! lovely video as always :)
Selma and Stephanie are so good to each other .
Loved watching the love and laughter, Such wonderful gifts,. I bet the home made drinks tasted amazing and strong lol. Jacob I think we will see of some time soon. What a lovely painting at the end and so meaning full. Stephanie looked amazing in the dress.
For a moment I had a great desire to colour in the parrot on the wallpaper. Another lovely episode of kindness & laughter.
I just love laughing with you all. Thankyou for being our sunshine during dark & troubling times.
I'm planning to send some functional art for the chateau and I can't wait. I love you guys! Hi from Dallas, Tx. 😘
Once again, beautiful gifts, laughter, drinks and fun! Thanks for sharing!🥀🥀💝
Thank you for the unboxings! They are always epic!
Happy birthday to Selmar.
Isn’t his birthday the 12th of May?...am I wrong?
His birthday is on the 12th of May 🎆🎆🎆
@@arsinlupin5628 Yes the same date as my birthday. I think he is 53 this year.🤩
@@jimm8682 Quite right. May not be online then.
A flowering tea for the glass teacup would be gorgeous!
Selmar cracking up, too funny. His laugh is infectious.
This has really reminded me of the art of gift giving...it was so much fun to watch the look of surprise, appreciation and joy on your faces. I love how personal each gift was and how much love went into sending them.
It would be great to see a few more cameo shots of Diesel. That face is precious.
Stephanie that dress looks marvelous on you and Nati the white dress with the scarf and jewelry also looks fabulous.

Awww I love the watercolor of the lake coming home. That touched my heart❤🏞
That was the funnest Cadeau to watch. You guys have such fun! I love how you don't hoard the gifts, but share with everyone.

Hilarious fun made my day watching you beautiful young people enjoying life thank you love to you all. X
Selmars birthday is the same day as my grandsons who will be 16 this year!

So appreciate your joyful and entertaining blog.
oh you are the best you lovely Lalanders, make my day, thank you
Stephanie's Orange sweater is so harmonious with the flower arrangement. A beautiful deep orange bloom.
Bless you Jacob. Big hugs from NY. 💟☮️
And from Alaska
Selmar about the french book that Stéphanie read: "I felt it". 🤣😂
Happy birthday Selmar🎂🎂🎂🎊🎉🎁

I thought we weren't allowed to see the entrance hall yet! How exciting to get a sneak peek! The wallpaper looks amazing, I can't wait to see what you've been doing with the rest of it!
I think in her last Chateau Diaries vlog she said it aired or was airing on British TV that week.
Woohooo AMAZING Gifts yet again 💜💜💜💜🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Such joy to watch 👏👏
Love the dress with the headband
Beautiful
Wonderful vlog and beautiful gifts from some of our huge La Lande family xxxx
We'll have to find fairy tea... if any man can find it it's you!! best line ever lol
I love how every vlog in someway is a history lesson.
Well again what a lovely variety of gifts, from a variety of your fans........wonderful.........Donna In Toronto
The Duchess Bakery is definitely a must visit when in Edmonton Alberta
What a beautiful episode. I felt so humble by Lindas gifts and deep words ❤️
That was great fun‼️😁

So glad you liked the look of Sébastien's books and I hope Isabelle enjoys reading them :) xxx
Butterfly Pea Flower Tea flavored with chamomile would be perfect for the gold and blue cup!
It also color changes from blue to fuscia with lemon.
Ohhhh...never heard of it. Must try!!!
Beautiful gifts 🎁 and wonderful video ❤
Butterfly pea flower tea would be perfect in that gorgeous venetian looking teacup!
This is like unwrapping a birthday present every time I watch. Happy soon to be birthday Selmar ❤️
Stephanie you look amazing in that dress ! Selmars laugh is a joy to hear! his birthday is the day before mine I should have known he was a Taurean !
Thank you 😊 love how special you all are!
