@@charlotteMT134 so am i but we are entitled to have our dreams..he so so charming and when he dances the tango....bliss...dont get me started on when he speaks and laughs...sigh..lol
I have been going through such an awful time personally. You should know that your vlogs, your family, your volunteers and friends, Just give me so much joy. It is helping me through a very very dark time.
@@lindaashford7187 yes, idk for sure. She came & helped her n the garden; a volunteer perhaps. But her name is very similar to Mary Poppins like Mary Paupins?!
@@lindaashford7187, Mary Poppins is really named Marie Poupin and she is a housekeeper who works for Stéphanie and some of her friends cleaning their houses.
I love how Dan was just coming to do his job and not speaking much in the previous episodes but got to know you and you are so lovely that now he opens up more! 😊 La Lande is filled with wonderful souls 💕
Bravo Gerald! I had 35 “suntan” sessions with radiation too, I was glowing in the dark for a while. So happy for your completion, I truly understand your accomplishment. Selmar never ceases to amaze me with his artistry, he couldn’t do it without his trusty assistant Diesel. I so so so enjoy my chateau visits with you all. Blessings 🎉🍾🎊
Michael was like the Pied Piper with the case of champagne😂 Cheers to Gerry for being all done with his treatments! Looking forward to our doses of Gerry come July!❤️
Selmar - I have no idea - perhaps he is "revealed" in more deal in Stephanie's Patreon account. Michael P has his own vlog and his and Gerry's backstories have been covered a number of times in Stephanie's earlier posts and in some combined Stephanie and Michael Q&A's. Michael has also done 3 Q&A session on his Patreon account.
I hope you know that the gift giving is done from the heart. Most of us have "lived" at the chateau over the past few months and its our way of saying thank you. Even if you chose to never open gifts in a public vlog...the sentiments would still be as sweet and precious. Don't feel pressured into adding more to your already hectic schedule. Bye Michael...see you soon.
Hello dear ones from Me here in Southern Ontario, Canada. Hi, Gerry!! I can't type out enough words to let you know what a delight and pleasure it is to join you through vlogs. Watching the progress of the garden, anticipating Syph and Thor's babies, sharing in the beauty and transition of the chateau on step at a time, fills me in these times of lockdown, with joy. I find myself smiling like crazy when I join in with the LaLande family. You are inspiring for a seventy-one year old lady fair who is missing her family like crazy, but filling my life - thanks so much to you all - with flowers, lemon cake and enjoying my beautiful things to the height. Missing Anton, Marie & Mr. Mystery. :) Love you all. Happy summer!
Stephanie true friendship is priceless. How very lovely to share the fabrics with Michael. Don’t wish to embarrass Selmar but the man is a genius. Is there anything he can’t do? Your friends Dana & Arnaud are so very gracious. I love seeing them. Dana is so vivacious & full of fun. Now to my very very very very very favourite Gerry, so glad his treatment is over & absolutely hanging out to see him, so please would you kindly post a vlog with him landing on french soil as soon as he arrives. Till next time ❤️
I am so relieved that Mummy specified that she did not order to have the septic tank filled but to have it emptied........lol. Selmar & Dan are doing great jobs. Nice to see Sherrie & Bill. The new dehydrater will be doing overtime soon . Natalia to the rescue as Stephanie really needs her help. Oh Charmaine how kind to send the fabulous fabrics. Je vous aime xx.
Stephanie You could call the gift openings "Everyday is a Present ' Oprah's Xmas Gift Opening is one of her most appreciated and viewed shows. The endless fountain of joy you serve up creating a bonus of healthy pheromones for all your loving fans is very appreciated. People enjoy giving . Making it feel like they are active participants in your living restoration Cheers to Mummy and Selmar... everyone. Judith Lalande
Yes. People do enjoy giving. I so agree. I simply love the joy and sincerity we see in receiving; but also understand how overwhelming it must be. I have already expressed how delightful it is for this on-her-own, perfectly lovely Grandma in Canada to join in the comfort and joy that exudes from LaLande and has no doubt done so for hundreds of years. Hugs.
Stephanie, your home is so beautiful. Selmar delighted you are staying. Gerald great your treatment is finished. Continue to keep safe and well. Just saw your trip with Stephanie down the Nile again. Brilliant. Mummy, you are the star. Hope you all keep safe and well.💗💗
OMG, everyone is busy! You all are such an inspiration, and I am adjusting like wise, I have a new attitude. Just because of struggles, does not mean you have to cave in, live, love, work, pray and play. Love you guys.
All of you bring so much joy, and really this is how everyone should live life, with joy and laughter,, thank you for making it real and showing it is possible and desirable to live life in a joyful way in spite of everything else. Looking at the glass full is a matter of choice that you are demonstrating so beautifully.
I was fainting seeing those fabrics! Totally divine. I caught myself waving saying goodbye to Michael and his family 😂 I have to agree with Mummy that none of us would have any objection to Dan removing his shirt. There is absolutely no harm whatsoever in just looking!
I am amazed at the thought that goes into the gifts sent to you and to LaLande. There are people who are gift givers they receive so much joy from finding a treasure and your genuine gratitude makes me smile twice
I love how the garden is changing so quickly now that you are able to employe Dan. (with or without his shirt) Do you plan on sorting out the orchard and saving or augmenting some of the trees you initially planted when you first moved into the chateau? Micheal's brother must be doing quite well for himself judging by the cars he drives.
I have just finished watching every video you have ever uploaded and they are truely a joy. I am so glad to hear Gerry is doing well, and will be back soon. Isabelle is so adroable, and Selmar is an absolute gem, and I hope he never leaves Lalande. Thank You Stephanie for brightening up all of our lives!
You could also call your vlog Gifts of Gratitude because that is exactly what they are Stephanie. I among others are sooooo grateful for the Patrons of your Chateau. When I first started to watch your vlog I fell in love with your variety of events and with that your dreams for the Chateau. Now through your patrons and subscribers these dreams are not only coming true for you, but hooooow exxxcitting for all your other subscribers .

Your hair looks fabulous, but yes, quite a change now! Carlos eyes light up ( my partner) every time he sees the tool room where Selmar was working, I think he would be in his element there. He built our whole house so its his dream to have a big room like that! I think the customs rules must be very more relaxed in France, my brother sent me 3 deodorants from the US,marked as a gift and I still had to pay €50 customs fee to retrieve them...which probably makes them the most expensive deodorants ever 😂 I was in Capri yesterday and thought of you dreaming about wafting around in that silk shirt you were gifted recently💕😘
I think people enjoy watching your videos and definitely get effected by your joy. So l guess people are happy for you and they like to help you in what you do by sending gifts. You all are so lovely and it's so nice to watch you. You definitely have created a wonderful atmosphere at chateau. Thank you for sharing and making us a part of your life 🤗💐💐🌻🌹🌹🌺🏵️
Wonderful to see Stephanie , love Isabella and great to see Nat returning. So happy to see Gerry and so pleased he is back with you in the 1st July, What an incredible worker is Isabella , my god such energy and determination to get things done, she is adorable but also wise. Great Vlog yet again xxxx
@@bellaluna321 Nati is a volunteer who has become a friend and returns. She has just arrived to run the B&B for Stephanie this Summer. If you watch all the vlogs from the beginning you will see who everyone is
Gerald! Bless you, and how wonderful that you are coming back to La Land soon! So happy that you have gone through your treatments, and with flying colours it seems! Mommy is a bundle of joy as always! Selmar is working hard as always! Stephanie, happy as always, and i think you have the happiest Chateau in the world! :)
The look on “Mommies “ face when Stephanie told her she ordered plants was PRICELESS!!! I absolutely LOVE all of your videos and have watched you from the beginning. It definitely kept me sane during the pandemic and makes me long for a visit when traveling is safe again. All my love and best wishes from Cambridge, Maryland. USA!!!!!
In Argentina we are still in lockdown. It's been 100 days already and they are saying they will take us back to FASE 1 and extender until September. This is a nightmare. I want to be back to normal. I'm so happy you are free once again.
Veronica, I am so sorry for you. Here in Alberta we opened up our phase 2 - one week early Jun 12th. I will hold you in my thoughts dear and hope soon you can be free. Stay close to this channel, connect maybe to the Facebook group. Stay positive:) Joy:)
How hard life is at the moment. That is why we must take pleasure in the small things. Watching LaLande does this - it makes us smile and this brightens our day. All the best to you and your family from Tasmania. A world away, but with you in spirit.
If you read on (America though) CDC's website, it has ONLY affected .02% of the population. Point oh two. That's so much less than the flu. Yes, we must be cautious but locking us a n our homes is ridiculous imo and the masks are taking our oxygen levels down to .12 which is 20% less than OSHA's guidelines. C'mon already. I feel for you guys. I expect in September or October we will be in a worldwide lockdown. The economies will tank. Sorry about the rant; it's affected my family terribly the past week (not because we have the flu ) so it's hitting hard right now
So so very happy to see and hear Gerald is well & coming to the chateau very soon , his laughter and fun is so uplifting , we love you Gerald 🥰 Take care now from coco 🥰
Stephanie and “ Mommy” I really liked that you ended your video by saying it’s not necessary to send gifts. Very heart felt in the way “Mommy” says it. Thank you for giving me a small moment of happiness during these difficult time.
I was thinking what a blessing and a treasure it has been for you to have your mummy with you during the lockdown period. I know she misses Percy but the time you have together is pretty special. Then to be surrounded by such wonderful friends: Selmar, Michael, Marie, Antoine, and the elusive Nick. I am so happy that you all shared your joie de vivre during the lockdown period. I can’t imagine it without you. You helped make what could have been a dreary time very enjoyable and hopeful. Thank you for sharing your lives and for living life to the fullest even when things aren’t perfect or there are not ideal circumstances. It’s so fun to be part of this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ hugs from Texas.
STEPHANIE 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Hi coco here again .............are you ready for the WORLD , its seems you mummy & the team are taking over the life's of so many people across the GLOBE 🌍 I just love you Adorable people , I feel like I know you so well , you bring so much fun , laughter , & JOY to all our lives across the universe Stephanie , mummy , Michael , marie and Selmar , are you ready for the FAME 🤗 Your world will never be the same again , fame , fortune , are coming , but most of all I pray it brings you Happiness 🙏 and it's so very much deserved , Namaste 🦚🐓🦔🐐🌻⚘🌷🌲💐🌺
Lovely vlog. Selmar, I think, can fix everything! Such talent. And Michael, such talent! Please don't leave LaLande! Gorgeous fabrics--They will look lovely in the cottage. And it's amazing that you've created all the curtains and drapery at LaLande, Stephanie. I'm so happy Gerry is doing wonderfully! Isabelle, you have an amazing new dehydrater--that will be something! Thank you all for your sharing💗.
so lovely having Selmar in your videos , he so good at everything he does..he is such a lovely man...Isabelle is so darling..her garden is really starting to take shape...wont it be strange without Michael there?..still this way he can get on with his gardeners cottage..which I am certain he is itching to get started on..I subscribe to his vlog too..I am certain his family must be happy to have him back lol...Scotman is finally finished with his treatment..happy days!! So, so happy for him.. his optimism always makes my day..It will be wonderful seeing him back in the Chateau!!..Life ceratainly isnt boring at Lalande! You look stunning in your blonde hair and lovely necklace Staphanie! love to you all xxx
Loved this video, Selma is so wonderful, I am glad he is participating more in the videos. I was thinking "Shared Blessings" for your postal opening days. It is such a blessing to watch the gratitude, excitement and heartfelt appreciation you all express. Keep up the great videos, cannot wait to see yours and Michael s creatations from the fabric. I would have wanted it all, but it is great to share too.
Having a stressful morning and thought I would come here for some relaxing time out. I laughed until I cried a few times, and the rest of the time just sat with a happy smile on my face. Thanks so much everyone at Lalande; my day is looking up!
I love your mother so much! She is such a treasure! I lost my own mother 9 years ago, my father almost 20 years ago. Treasure every moment you have with her, take nothing for granted!
Another wonderful episode! Selmar works beautifully with timber and Lalande has endless projects for his talent, it was a very lucky day all round when he arrived with his trusty dog Diesel. Mummy has a new object of affection, I will be watching with interest to see how your tasty tomatoes are dried, no luck growing them where I live, possums get all the top fruit and bush rats get all the others, only managed 5 Tiny Tom tomatoes for an outlay of $75... a very expensive salad! Stephanie, today you showed just why we all love these vlogs and why viewers send gifts, the fabrics were all stunning, but you made sure Michael had the ones he really liked.... Isabelle don't worry, people love to send gifts, there are a lot of 'givers' in the world... and Scotman will be back before you know it to make us all laugh! ❤️
So many lovely comments. It is just wonderful to see all the kind people here on Stephanie’s UA-cam channel & of course on her patron page. It is so refreshing to hear, see and read. It has brought such joy seeing this little chateau and it’s family getting all these stunning blessings, it’s positively overwhelming. I can’t tell you how many times it’s brought me to tears to see all of this unfolding for all of you. xx It truly give me butterflies 🦋
As always, just a delight to see you all and see what’s happening at the Chateau. So thrilled that Scotman is done with his treatment and coming soon. Will do miss seeing Michael and you together, but happy I can see him on his own channel. And so love Selmar and his quiet and wonderful ways. Stephanie and mummy, you are a joy. Looking forward to getting to know Nattie? Blessings to you all 💗
Congratulations Gerald, and Selmar is totally a craftsman, keep up the good work all. Mummy, the garden is fab, Stephanie beautiful as always and artist Micheal, I love these videos
You give laughs and joy to everyone who watches your videos, it must be overwhelming to receive so many gifts from strangers but is a way to show you appreciation 💖. Love Mommy Isabel she is so funny, can't wait to see her and Percy reunited 🌼
many have said this..Stephanie buy some garden name stakes for Isabelles garden so she can remember what she planted..there are plenty pretty ones available these days ! lovexxx
Sadly I missed seeing this when it premiered, but I thoroughly enjoyed catching up. I loved seeing the mammoth efforts to open the dehydrator & was struck with the thought that Stephanie should have played music while it was unwrapped in a pass the parcel style, with Isabelle and Michael taking turns! An extra glass of champagne to the one who takes off the final layer.
Just loved every second. Hate it when they end. Could you please do a question time / get to know Selmar. He is by far my favorite volunteer. I don’t want him to leave. Have watched all your vlogs at least twice. Just love the life you have created. Real escapism for us. Hugs from Australia. 🤗
Has anyone else started to beautify their space due to watching the chateau diaries?
Yes and i started collecting Spode china too
@@barbraescontrias3087 me too! :)
I thought about that too! lol
Lynne Markell ..I want toile all over my bedroom🦋
Oh yes lol
The look on Selmar's face when Stephanie and Isabelle spoke of furiously shaking beds throughout the chateau - priceless!!
Is there anything Selmar can't do, he is a treasure !
I never want selmar to leave 😂
I was thinking the same thing!
Viewers are holding him hostage at Lelande
i think he told Stephanie that he staying there for the forseeable future.
Kayla Slattery Selmar belongs at Lalande
I love your friendship with Michael. You both are so supportive of each other, selfless and incredibly kind. True friendship.
Me too! It’s a friendship match made in heaven. They compliment each other so well.
Selmar is a real gem 💎. Is he spoken for? If he isn’t someone should snatch him up before he gets away. Love your videos so keep them coming ok. 💕💕
He’s so handsome!
@@udlove09 I think so too. I think romantically of the three musketeers...Selmar being one. Hugs.
Form an orderly queue
@@lindaashford7187 LOL. I'm too old...but can dream, can't I. Hugs.
@@charlotteMT134 so am i but we are entitled to have our dreams..he so so charming and when he dances the tango....bliss...dont get me started on when he speaks and laughs...sigh..lol
Mummy clarifying that a shirtless Dan was not for her benefit had me cackling 😂
I know!! That was so hilarious!! And I loved Steph's shock at what her mummy said!! So funny!
I have been going through such an awful time personally. You should know that your vlogs, your family, your volunteers and friends, Just give me so much joy. It is helping me through a very very dark time.
Praying for you Leslie 💗🙏
I will pray for you - don't give up!
Yes I feel as if their channel is like therapy for my soul! Brings me so much joy and happiness watching any episode.
Better times ahead Leslie. And find little things to enjoy.
Me too. This is an escape for a short time. Will include you in my daily prayers
Mary Poppins seems like such a lovely woman. Nice to see her making an appearance in the vlogs 💕
I don't know what Mary Poppins 'is' - could someone fill me in please, thanks.
@@lindaashford7187 yes, idk for sure. She came & helped her n the garden; a volunteer perhaps. But her name is very similar to Mary Poppins like Mary Paupins?!
@@lindaashford7187, Mary Poppins is really named Marie Poupin and she is a housekeeper who works for Stéphanie and some of her friends cleaning their houses.
@@mgoblue8168 oh, thank you. I saw her in the garden and assumed she was a volunteer
Scotman, you’re an absolute champ!!
I love how Dan was just coming to do his job and not speaking much in the previous episodes but got to know you and you are so lovely that now he opens up more! 😊 La Lande is filled with wonderful souls 💕
Selmar is so very talented....
I hope Isabelle and Percy reunite soon!
YES, ITS DRIVING NE CRAZY LOL
We still have a border lockdown here in South Africa - maybe he can ask for special permission due to family reasons
Isabelle cracks me up, she's fabulous 😆
Yes. Selmar is a treasure. Cannot wait to see the Scotman Rouge again. So glad he is well!
Bravo Gerald! I had 35 “suntan” sessions with radiation too, I was glowing in the dark for a while. So happy for your completion, I truly understand your accomplishment. Selmar never ceases to amaze me with his artistry, he couldn’t do it without his trusty assistant Diesel. I so so so enjoy my chateau visits with you all. Blessings 🎉🍾🎊
Michael was like the Pied Piper with the case of champagne😂 Cheers to Gerry for being all done with his treatments! Looking forward to our doses of Gerry come July!❤️
We need the back story on Selmar, Michael P. and Gerald! Anyone else interested?
Yes. I asked before but then assumed maybe it was content for the patreons which I am not yet so idk.
Yes please!
Michael has his own channel, Doing It Ourselves! It's fantastic :)
Selmar - I have no idea - perhaps he is "revealed" in more deal in Stephanie's Patreon account. Michael P has his own vlog and his and Gerry's backstories have been covered a number of times in Stephanie's earlier posts and in some combined Stephanie and Michael Q&A's.

Well said xx
Very sweet and gracious.
In. In
Never let Selma’s leave! Plus we would miss him! You should get your Mother popsicle stick and a marker so she can sign her garden to mark the plants.
He's name is Selmar Duin. You can see his photos online and a video with him dancing Argentine tango on youtube. Mummy should adopt him.
Good health to Gerald. Can’t wait to see him back at the chateau. ❤️.
Hahahahahah isabelle putting all the fruits in her mouth when stephanie hand wait for somes 😂
It was hilarious!!
Haha Michael walking away with the wine was really funny...
So nice Michael did your hair before he left. Can’t wait to see Gerald back on the vlogs!

Till next time ❤️
I've said it before, and I'll say it again...Selmar has THE best laugh!
Agree!! I also love Stephanie's laugh. I'm often amazed at how she holds back while I'm here roaring with laughter at mommy's antics.
glad i am not the only one who thinks so
Yes, he does have a great laugh!!!!
Yes! I thought I was the only one who liked his laugh. But I'm weird.........I like people's laughs LOL!!!
I am so relieved that Mummy specified that she did not order to have the septic tank filled but to have it emptied........lol. Selmar & Dan are doing great jobs. Nice to see Sherrie & Bill. The new dehydrater will be doing overtime soon . Natalia to the rescue as Stephanie really needs her help. Oh Charmaine how kind to send the fabulous fabrics. Je vous aime xx.
Such a sense of humor
@SMG stephanie said in a previous vlog that Nati was coming to run the B&B this year
It just shows how we all dream of living in a chateau. This way a small part of those who send gifts or are patrons can be part of the dream❤️🇨🇦❤️
How true 😄🇨🇦
It is wonderful to hear Gerald has completed his treatments. Now on to the chateau.
“Enemies” and “Anemones” 😂 J’adore garden tours with Stephanie and Isabelle!

All of you bring so much joy, and really this is how everyone should live life, with joy and laughter,, thank you for making it real and showing it is possible and desirable to live life in a joyful way in spite of everything else. Looking at the glass full is a matter of choice that you are demonstrating so beautifully.

SMG but of course. He is a great asset and seems to love his job and is helping Mummy so much.
I am amazed at the thought that goes into the gifts sent to you and to LaLande. There are people who are gift givers they receive so much joy from finding a treasure and your genuine gratitude makes me smile twice
I dream to go over to Lalande and be a volunteer for a month or two, just to absorb all of the positive energy over there!
Your videos have made this lockdown bearable. I feel like a long lost family member. Thank You for sharing your escapades 💜💐🤠
Lisa Webb I feel the same. They are such a warm welcoming bunch!
Ok. I am impressed how straight grained the wood being used on the bed Selmar is restoring
I love how the garden is changing so quickly now that you are able to employe Dan. (with or without his shirt) Do you plan on sorting out the orchard and saving or augmenting some of the trees you initially planted when you first moved into the chateau?
Micheal's brother must be doing quite well for himself judging by the cars he drives.
Forgot to mention that Dana is absolutely beautiful and what a great cook too !
Watching this in September 2023 😀

Who is Nat? Those of us who only started watching when the quarantine began are going to need some introductions!
@@bellaluna321 Nati is a volunteer who has become a friend and returns. She has just arrived to run the B&B for Stephanie this Summer. If you watch all the vlogs from the beginning you will see who everyone is
Gerald! Bless you, and how wonderful that you are coming back to La Land soon! So happy that you have gone through your treatments, and with flying colours it seems! Mommy is a bundle of joy as always! Selmar is working hard as always! Stephanie, happy as always, and i think you have the happiest Chateau in the world! :)
I would love the gift opening the whole time! Ppl are so thoughtful and generous.
The look on “Mommies “ face when Stephanie told her she ordered plants was PRICELESS!!! I absolutely LOVE all of your videos and have watched you from the beginning. It definitely kept me sane during the pandemic and makes me long for a visit when traveling is safe again. All my love and best wishes from Cambridge, Maryland. USA!!!!!
Can't wait to see Gerry again !!! Thankful he's all done with treatment !
I just can’t stop smiling when I watch these VLOGS. Thank you for brightening up our days! 😘
Good to see you Gerald best wishes 👋🇿🇦
In Argentina we are still in lockdown. It's been 100 days already and they are saying they will take us back to FASE 1 and extender until September. This is a nightmare. I want to be back to normal. I'm so happy you are free once again.
Veronica, I am so sorry for you. Here in Alberta we opened up our phase 2 - one week early Jun 12th. I will hold you in my thoughts dear and hope soon you can be free. Stay close to this channel, connect maybe to the Facebook group. Stay positive:) Joy:)
How hard life is at the moment. That is why we must take pleasure in the small things. Watching LaLande does this - it makes us smile and this brightens our day. All the best to you and your family from Tasmania. A world away, but with you in spirit.
Acá en chile estamos igual :(
If you read on (America though) CDC's website, it has ONLY affected .02% of the population. Point oh two. That's so much less than the flu. Yes, we must be cautious but locking us a n our homes is ridiculous imo and the masks are taking our oxygen levels down to .12 which is 20% less than OSHA's guidelines. C'mon already. I feel for you guys. I expect in September or October we will be in a worldwide lockdown. The economies will tank. Sorry about the rant; it's affected my family terribly the past week (not because we have the flu ) so it's hitting hard right now
So so very happy to see and hear Gerald is well & coming to the chateau very soon , his laughter and fun is so uplifting , we love you Gerald 🥰
Take care now from coco 🥰
Can't wait to see you back Scot man, so glad your treatment went well. Love you all. Xxx❤️🇬🇧😍😘
Stephanie and “ Mommy” I really liked that you ended your video by saying it’s not necessary to send gifts. Very heart felt in the way “Mommy” says it. Thank you for giving me a small moment of happiness during these difficult time.
I was thinking what a blessing and a treasure it has been for you to have your mummy with you during the lockdown period. I know she misses Percy but the time you have together is pretty special. Then to be surrounded by such wonderful friends: Selmar, Michael, Marie, Antoine, and the elusive Nick. I am so happy that you all shared your joie de vivre during the lockdown period. I can’t imagine it without you. You helped make what could have been a dreary time very enjoyable and hopeful. Thank you for sharing your lives and for living life to the fullest even when things aren’t perfect or there are not ideal circumstances. It’s so fun to be part of this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ hugs from Texas.
It’s so cool that you can watch this and one day maybe stay in that room. After watching Selmar build the bed . ❤️

Selmar is a very charming clever man such a bonus to the Chateau team Bravo to you all XX
Oh that Isabelle! Hysterical!! When I grow up I want to be just like her!!! (I’m over 60!!! 😁🤣😉)
Michael's I-told-you-so face while holding the champagne is priceless.
Crying tears of joy for Gerry! Glad he is doing well! ❤️
Wow that was some vlog well done. Fantastic news about Gerry, looking forward to seeing him back at Lalande X
What a amazing life you have Stephanie. Surrounded by family friends and love. Living in a beautiful amazing chateau
Can't wait for Gerald to be back. Such a lovely guy! Congrats on finishing the treatment!
Lovely vlog. Selmar, I think, can fix everything! Such talent. And Michael, such talent! Please don't leave LaLande! Gorgeous fabrics--They will look lovely in the cottage. And it's amazing that you've created all the curtains and drapery at LaLande, Stephanie. I'm so happy Gerry is doing wonderfully! Isabelle, you have an amazing new dehydrater--that will be something! Thank you all for your sharing💗.
so lovely having Selmar in your videos , he so good at everything he does..he is such a lovely man...Isabelle is so darling..her garden is really starting to take shape...wont it be strange without Michael there?..still this way he can get on with his gardeners cottage..which I am certain he is itching to get started on..I subscribe to his vlog too..I am certain his family must be happy to have him back lol...Scotman is finally finished with his treatment..happy days!! So, so happy for him.. his optimism always makes my day..It will be wonderful seeing him back in the Chateau!!..Life ceratainly isnt boring at Lalande! You look stunning in your blonde hair and lovely necklace Staphanie! love to you all xxx
Anyone else think Stephany looks like Tilda Swinson- Doppelganger! Love the show and the whole family.
Nope.. she definitely does not... you should watch more videos of her :) do not put anybody in a frame. Great tip, Enjoy!
She’s far to feminine and pretty
I always thought this was Stephanie's doppelgänger 🌞, but yes I see Tilda too.
Actually I kind of see it myself! Especially in the vampire movie, ‘Only the lovers’ - my friends teased me about it 😉
Maybe with short hair?
Stephanie’s is so special! Such a giving unselfish sharing person!
Another brilliant episode 😁👍🏻❤️☀️🌹. Thanks Stephanie 💕⭐️🙏🏻🇬🇧
Loved this video, Selma is so wonderful, I am glad he is participating more in the videos. I was thinking "Shared Blessings" for your postal opening days. It is such a blessing to watch the gratitude, excitement and heartfelt appreciation you all express. Keep up the great videos, cannot wait to see yours and Michael s creatations from the fabric. I would have wanted it all, but it is great to share too.
Loved the fabrics that Michael left with, and can't wait to see them at his home.
Having a stressful morning and thought I would come here for some relaxing time out. I laughed until I cried a few times, and the rest of the time just sat with a happy smile on my face. Thanks so much everyone at Lalande; my day is looking up!
I love your mother so much! She is such a treasure! I lost my own mother 9 years ago, my father almost 20 years ago. Treasure every moment you have with her, take nothing for granted!
Another wonderful episode! Selmar works beautifully with timber and Lalande has endless projects for his talent, it was a very lucky day all round when he arrived with his trusty dog Diesel. Mummy has a new object of affection, I will be watching with interest to see how your tasty tomatoes are dried, no luck growing them where I live, possums get all the top fruit and bush rats get all the others, only managed 5 Tiny Tom tomatoes for an outlay of $75... a very expensive salad!
Stephanie, today you showed just why we all love these vlogs and why viewers send gifts, the fabrics were all stunning, but you made sure Michael had the ones he really liked....
Isabelle don't worry, people love to send gifts, there are a lot of 'givers' in the world... and Scotman will be back before you know it to make us all laugh! ❤️
Mummy is just too humorous! Love her whit! This was a fun video, showing so many of my favorite participants!
So many lovely comments. It is just wonderful to see all the kind people here on Stephanie’s UA-cam channel & of course on her patron page. It is so refreshing to hear, see and read. It has brought such joy seeing this little chateau and it’s family getting all these stunning blessings, it’s positively overwhelming. I can’t tell you how many times it’s brought me to tears to see all of this unfolding for all of you. xx It truly give me butterflies 🦋
As always, just a delight to see you all and see what’s happening at the Chateau. So thrilled that Scotman is done with his treatment and coming soon. Will do miss seeing Michael and you together, but happy I can see him on his own channel. And so love Selmar and his quiet and wonderful ways. Stephanie and mummy, you are a joy. Looking forward to getting to know Nattie? Blessings to you all 💗
When I watch these vlogs it makes me happy!❤️
Gerald, I’m so happy for you! We love you in NYC! Can’t wait to see you back at the château! Hugs 🥰🏴🇫🇷🏴🇺🇸
Cheers Gerald!! So glad you are all done your treatment! I look forward to seeing you on Canada Day at the chateau!!🥰🇨🇦🥂🎉
I Love seen the opening of Presents!
To be here is such a pleasure. Selmar is a wonderful artist, he can do so much, I love this loving, calm, personality and of course his quiet smile !
Each video that I watch is so amazing it makes me feel so good
Congratulations Gerald, and Selmar is totally a craftsman, keep up the good work all. Mummy, the garden is fab, Stephanie beautiful as always and artist Micheal, I love these videos
Don't forget to hit the like button. I remembered this time
yes!! i forgot for most of the vlog..i wem
t through them all and rewatched and liked them..it gives them more revenue for the chateau too lol
You give laughs and joy to everyone who watches your videos, it must be overwhelming to receive so many gifts from strangers but is a way to show you appreciation 💖. Love Mommy Isabel she is so funny, can't wait to see her and Percy reunited 🌼
I am so glad to have found your videos!!! You are all such a delight!
many have said this..Stephanie buy some garden name stakes for Isabelles garden so she can remember what she planted..there are plenty pretty ones available these days ! lovexxx
Sadly I missed seeing this when it premiered, but I thoroughly enjoyed catching up. I loved seeing the mammoth efforts to open the dehydrator & was struck with the thought that Stephanie should have played music while it was unwrapped in a pass the parcel style, with Isabelle and Michael taking turns! An extra glass of champagne to the one who takes off the final layer.
Selmar is very gifted.
Food looks delicious.
Lovely fabric and Michael did a great color job on your hair.
My teenage daughter discovered in a France the Tarte Tartin. It was her favorite dish. Every meal she needed her Tarte Tatin while we were in France!
Yes, gardening, enjoying home more than ever. Await these videos every day. Linda
Just loved every second. Hate it when they end. Could you please do a question time / get to know Selmar. He is by far my favorite volunteer. I don’t want him to leave. Have watched all your vlogs at least twice. Just love the life you have created. Real escapism for us. Hugs from Australia. 🤗
he has said he will be there for the unforsseable future, he has no plans to leave for now
