Oh wow! I knew Stephanie could sing.. but I never knew she could SING!! Beautiful.
Some videos from a view years ago, Stephanie sang a few times when a music group held a music workshop at LaLande
I spell my Patti with an i too👍🏻
Trained in Opera.
I am sorry she seems to have stopped singing. But I guess her life has taken a different turn.
Beautiful voice 😊
Use the old towels for Lancelot to lay on around the house. You could even embroider a dog on the corner to know which are his.
That's a really good idea!
Stephanie’s singing was so beautiful. Didn’t know she could act, too!
They can also be used as wadding in quilts or like sewing.
Great minds think alike. I was thinking bath time but yours is better.
Yes, we would use old towels to dry our dog after a walk.
The best towels in my humble opinion is one that absorbs the water so you feel it has actually dried you!
Exactly! It's so strange to use a towel that almost seems waterproof.
So never use clothes softener and don't tumble dry them. The most absorbency comes from line drying.
Years ago I didn't use any washing soap at all, I used wash balls which had little stones(?) in, in my washing machine and after a few washes to get rid of all the buildup in my clothes, especially jeans and towels, they were the softest ever when line dried.
I’ve noticed with towels with ‘decorative bands’ near the ends of the towels can shrink from washing & drying. The result is the ends no longer lay flat.
@@kmarch6630that’s because now a days they are made from micro fibre instead of Terry cloth.
@@ChristineKelly1000 I didn't realize that. I'm not a fan of microfiber sheets either.
With a voice like yours you can't possibly retire Stephanie! I love the happy atmosphere at Lalande .
Note that she has to retire because in order to sing opera the performers/singers have to practice every day and now, she is busy with the château, she does not have time to do so. Same goes to ballet, etc.
Here! Here!
...there's always time to make music ✨🎵🎶💃& art!!
p.s. Stephanie could sing out of the phone book & we'd all be enraptured!!
“I’m all porcelained out”
Phillip, what makes you want to lie like that? 😂😂
Marie is so funny! Love her! 😂🥰
And Stephanie, you have such a beautiful voice! 👏🏻🥰👏🏻
Yes. Phillip. How can you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Philip I love the vase you should get it
I love going thrift shopping with Philip. He finds the best functional and sometimes optional accent pieces. He also has a terrific way of defending his purchases. 😂
Room names on towels are great idea. Keep a lot with no names to use in emergency and ready to be embroidered as replacement
Actually they could just do a few with the room name and then the others as generic with the regular logo.😊
Great idea
Towels and facecloths are one of the highest expenses running a hotel or B&B. They get destroyed with make-up stains (lipstick, mascara, foundation) and other things that don't easily wash out. They get taken home by guests. Especially if they're really nice and plush. It's part of the costs, not much you can do.
As a guest, I would be happy even with just hand towels embroidered. If “the state of the people” (lol) needed extra bath towels, plain would work...for me anyway. Embroidery on towels can feel scratchy.
Dear Stephanie, PLEASE, PLEASE sing again sometime soon. Encore! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes we all love to hear you sing every time you are just superb ❤❤❤❤
Yes, the restored chapel will be calling for an opening celebration!❤️
Wow, Steph! What a performance!
Natalie's statement "depending on the state of the people" is so realistic of what goes on behind the scenes at all places around the world 😮
I thought it was hilarious 😂
Ellen,
Actually what she did was
" translate " from Spanish to English, but unfortunately it was not the word in English. In Spanish the word is Estadía, which of course means Stay ( as in how long at the inn )so that is why she used State. We here at home immediately understood what she meant.
I thought that Nati actually meant the word 'stay' and was meaning that it "depended on the guests stay" as in how long the guests were staying because obviously if they stayed longer, they'd require more towels.
Wonderful clip of Stephanie singing Poulenc, not an easy piece. Congratulations!
What a lovely surprise Stephanie you never cease to amaze & entertain us! That last shot of you & Lancelot….Adorable 😊
I love to see Marie so happy now
Thank goodness there are people who still care about restoration. If not for the few so much would be lost to the world.
I agree. Thank goodness Stephanie was the one who bought and rescued LaLande. One would shudder to think if a developer bought the property. Bull doze the Chateau and build a gated community of townhouses or a shopping center. It's enough to make your eyelashes twitch.!!
Omg! Stephanie’s face when Marie asked her if Phillip deserved a kiss! 😂💖
I laughed so hard, had to watch it several times!
Philip, you must've fallen even more in love with Stephanie in that opera clip, so stunning and with her awe-inspiring voice.
It was a beautiful surprise to hear you singing ❤️ how fantastic.
Sometimes I feel that Phillip and Marie are like brother and sister.
very well said
Mmm no, too flirty
More like family banter. No flirting
That was amazing to watch Stephanie perform and sing opera! What a treat! You look so cool with your platinum blond hair! :)
Stephanie you are glowing with Happiness 🌹
Stephanie needs to sing again. ❤ She was talked into singing a few years ago during the musical retreat week. Her voice was great.
Opera singer? What else do we not yet know about you, Stephanie?!! Bravo!
She talks about it more in her earlier videos.
She also sang more in the earlier videos.
Its mentioned quite often in the Chateau DIY series on UK tv.
My towel preference is absorbent over fluffy. I can’t stand a towel just moves the water around.
Absolutely delightful to hear Stephanie sing!
❤️🇨🇦
Those bleeding hearts are perennials. They can go into your garden and look lovely!
the little pink flowers, yes, awesome garden plant in the shade
I have bleeding hearts in my small garden and they are amazing. They love shaded areas and would also actually be wonderful as a woodland plant.
PROTECT FROM FROST!!!
@@calgramBleeding Heart is a hardy perennial and survives frost just fine. They grow here in USDA Zone 3 where the temps can fall into below 0F.
@@calgramwe have them also in gardens and I live in winter wonderland. Lots of snow and could get up to -20. We dont protect them and they’ll do just fine :)
Love when Marie & Philip go shopping! They have to justify purchases with Stef! Haha!
Wow, Stephanie has quite the powerful voice! Great to see a small bit of your performance, thank you.
So nice to see Andi and to hear Stephanie sing! Give Mollie some extra love for putting up with the little usurper! (Of course, give Lancelot an extra pat when Mollie is not looking!)
yes he might be little but he's a HUGE usurper
I loved the kiss, and Philips comment about how cute Lancelot and Steph are. Finally we see the love!
Stephanie - your singing was glorious ! You should start again !🌹
Oh my gosh I love all the finds. So adorable snuggled in the window
Wow!!! Just wonderful. That voice and attitude. Stephanie has got the moves.
Stephanie I loved hearing you sing it was beautiful such a talent ❤xx
Stéphanie, as if it weren't possible to fall even more in love with you! Fantastic to see you singing!
My aunt used to say “When in doubt, don’t”. That saying has saved me many times. 🤗🇨🇦
OMG Stephanie! When Marie asked i Philip deserved a kiss you became Isabelle!
Oh my gosh you look absolutely stunning on stage!!!
I think so too!!
Stephanie, you are amazing. The clip of you singing was beautiful. I love watching you and all the people around you. Your family members are precious. Congratulations to you and Phillip. 💕💕💕💕🇺🇸
I love listening to Philip’s justification for his purchases. They are always divine and you are loving his choices! ❤️
Stephanie the singing clip was such a treat. And I loved the brocante outing. I love linen, especially vintage and antique.
I love hearing you sing Stephanie! I have to stand by Cyril! I would certainely enjoy seeing you get out of your retirment temporarly...maybe...i mean it would be vlog gold ;)
Absolutely!!!
Artists never retire ...they may change their repertoire a bit ...but never retire!!
You both are so joyful and gliw since you announced your engagement. Commitment to marriage truly is the best way. Congratulations!
Exquisite singing, Stephanie! Truly flawless. Sing for us all whenever you're inspired to do so...please! 🤗 And what a hawk eye Phillip has for finding treasures at bargain prices! Lovely vlog! Thank you.
I donate my old towels to veterinary clinics or rehabilitation facilities. They are always in need of towels and blankets for the animals.
I love hearing you sing Stephanie. There's such a richness to your voice. I thought about that when you were hilariously singing The Jungle Book song to scare the snakes and reminded from the video of you singing during your opera career. Amazing.
Love darling Molly’s calm manner & how she only had eyes for Amaury, despite sweet little Lancelot’s overtures…….. 😍😍
Stephanie and Philip, you two are such a good couple. You make me smile.
Andie, Philip and Marie...the dream team!!!
yes maria .. theres a reason its still there phiip
Quel grande plaisir de voir la chanteuse talente de Stephanie dans Les Mamelles de Tirésias! Merveilleux!! 💫
What a fun one, so many great finds by Phillip and Marie -- and Stephanie's performance -- woww!!
Wow, Stephanie you are incredibly talented. What a voice.
That piano is beautiful, as was your singing Stephanie. Only 50 if those Piano's ever made, so its very important to restore them for history of the arts. Talking of history and musical instruments....did you know that just up the road from your London flat was a shop that made and repaired Concertina's, the only shop in the world that made them. It should have been Grade listed but probably demolished by now. I wont say the road but 155 springs to mind, as a child I found the display in the shop window so beautiful when passing. I also learned Forte piano as a child. Thank you so much Stephanie for sharing your life 💕🇦🇺
My word ...what an incredible surprise! 😲...Stephanie's voice and performance is incredible!! ❤
Team Amaury for the towel choice and ideas.
Lancelot is such a dear sweet. Puppy. He loves everyone. Such a lil Snuggler with STEPHANIE.
WOW. WHAT A PIANO?!!@ AMAZING. A VERY VERY GOOD DONATION. STEPHANIE
THATS A PRICELESS PIANO!!❤
Lancelot is just the cutest angel, such a personality, i could watch him for hours on end. And Wow stephanie! What a performance...bravo! Encore!
I was just re-watching your group trip to Egypt. And, I thought “ what s Greta life. She deserves it because she made all those curtains all by herself during her winters alone at the chateau!!! Lovely Stephanie. I love the way you live.
Stephanie your voice is amazing!
Oh Stephanie that was a definite mummy look you gave Philip right at the end of this vlog lol 😮
❤ Philip always brings a smile to my face with his enthusiasm . Thank you, Philip. Very happy to see one who is a genuine soul.
cymbidiums are great orchids. they need cool winters to set blooms, so your home should be perfect.
Okay, I love Amory's idea with the bedroom names. Maybe just do them on wash cloths? Since in a towel display the washcloth is usually on top, it will be seen. Also, washcloths are small, less to embroider and you can have many for each bedroom much easier. It would be a very nice customized touch. New ones could also be sold as souvenirs or something.
I love lil Lancelot, hes darling!! He was so cute lying on the stool.🤗💙💜
Stephanie you really in your element while singing , you are so good …❤️
Stephanie when you wash towels for the first time or if they start to not be fluffy you should wash them with a cup of white vinegar and a half of cup of baking soda it will make them fluffy fluffy fluffy I'm so glad that Philip finally proposed to you
Wow i didn't realise you were a singer with a beautiful voice Stephanie. Love love love Lancelot. Philip always sets an amazing table for dinner or lunch with the little touches too. Marie made me laugh when she said to Philip there is a reason the vase is still on the shelf hahaha very true i think.
Regards to a candle in the glass with bamboo you bought-it won’t work as candles need a special type of glass or otherwise it’ll crack.
Loved the singing Stephanie. But the thing that makes me smile is how happy Maria is since she came back to La Lande. And great buys, Philip. X
Witnessing Stephanie's captivating performances always brings immense joy, and when Philipp joins in the vlogs, it adds an enchanting dimension that truly warms my heart! ❤️ I would absolutely adore seeing a singing series or more musical content-it would be a delightful addition to your already wonderful vlogs!
Nice to see Phillip's new purchases. And Stephanie's voice was amazing! And what a bombshell with that platinum blonde hair.
The plant with the dark brown saw leaves radiating from the central stork is a pseudopanax, a New Zealand native species still surviving from prehistoric times. Those leaves are the juvenile ones that were eaten by the ancient Moa bird like a 9 foot ostrich . As the tree grew out of reach of the moa, the pseudopanax grew its more delicious mature leaves which by then were out of reach and it could develop as quite a different tree.
WOW Stephanie! What a beautiful voice and amazing preformance!
What an absolute treat to see you preforming on stage, Stephanie! Especially with that beautiful piano and equally talented musicians! I would love to see more in the future!! ❤️❤️
Wow Stephanie, you sing beautifully 👏
Stéphanie you ate amazing! All my admiration!
I would love to hear you singing, this small video was a dream,
The shoppers did very well its all very nice and beautiful.
The table setting with these splendid plates, WOW !
Well an other great time time watching you at Lalande.

Wow. Watching you sing Stephanie…wonderful!
Finally, after all these years getting to hear you sing opera! You were magnificent!
There's actually quite a few older videos of her singing. Especially Christmas carols and during music workshops and Easter sing-off's.
Never saw Stephanie sing like that before. Magnificent is right.
I love to see where the donations go ❤ that piano looks amazing.
Fantastic singing Stephanie I can’t tell you how you all bring to my life you are all fabulous ,I love you and Phillip together, I have learnt so much about porcelain,tableware and food.Your trip to South Africa looked great.I hope one day to be able to visit you all in your wonderful home.Stay well everyone xx
Omg I lovvvve Rita Konig. Her style is like a huge hug. The layers and warmth is what makes a home memorable.
Fabulously sung, Steph. Poulenc is not easy. Brava! And you must sing when the piano is restored! Your voice is richer now, so all it will take is a few months of work et violà! Great purchases, Philip and Marie! Loved the snuggle bunnies on the chaise! ❤
You all are so cute! Makes me smile. Phillip I love all the things you got. Awesome store. 😊❤ Stephanie you sing beautiful. 😘
Oh Stephanie, you have the most beautiful voice, your talents are unlimited. Such an amazing woman. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 xxx
Stephanie your voice is heavenly you have so many talents we have not heard you sing in a long time , Philip had great finds.❤❤❤❤
Loved the clip of Stephanie singing Opera!
What a lovely voice. Another side to your talents.
A great team in which everyone compliments each other.
Be careful of putting candles into glasses that aren’t Pyrex. Even a tea light can explode a drinking glass and send hot wax and flames everywhere. It happened to me and I was stunned
Stephanie’s good singing has very good emotional impact too! Wow wow! ❤
Calamondin is a tart orange, you can make marmalade with it, but it's not yummy to eat fresh. Beautiful cymbidium orchid, too.
Love Amaury’s towel test!!
Wow Stephanie, I knew you could sing, but that clip was incredible!! I’ve never heard of that kind of piano. So nice that it will be restored.
Great finds Philip at Emmaus!!
Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
I loved this vlog! I got goosebumps during S opera singing. Poor Lancelot attempts to charm Molly...The Emmaus finds, loved the cheeky kiss moment....You really made me smile throughout this video. Thank you so much!
Stephanie ❤️❤️❤️⚡️⚡️⚡️👑👑👑 i love Chateau Diaries
Furst time I have seen a double piano. So, unique !
Once restored, would live to hear it be played. By 4 pianists. ❤
Stephanie you have an awesome voice ❤
Phillip you did a really awesome job today. The white quilt with the red oj stripes is beautiful ❤️
Very much enjoyed the humour 🙂
Stephanie! Your voice is beautiful. I have heard you sing in previous videos but not like that. Wow! It gave me goose bumps.
When Philip says 'I was talking to Lancelot' Stephanie gave him a look that reminded me of Mummy to a T 😅
Wow I’d love to see the whole opera. That was amazing. I’m so intrigued by just that little clip. And Stephanie’s voice is so amazing! Beautiful plants Marie. Hope you can keep them all alive! Loved the quilts. I wish I’d seen the moment Nattie found out Stephanie was engaged.
So talented Stephanie! Wow what a voice 🥰
Stephanie your voice is so beautiful please don't retire. You have a beautiful gift please share it with the world!
My goodness, Stephanie! I knew that you used to be a singer, but i didn't realize how incredible you were at it! I could listen to that all day. And, what a fun opera!
Phillip: i like the bamboo vase. It's lovely with the candle. 😉
Make bath mats out of the old towels. Also you can make "Turbie Twist" hair towels, which will save room in the washer.
The men, who have no concept of washing, drying, folding and putting away laundry, think (@2:30) that putting the he room name on the towel is a lovely idea. The ladies know that's added work and inefficient. lol
