The most extraordinary thing about Selmar is not only that he is so talented in so many ways, but also that he can work on different chateau projects absolutely independently, and you may be sure everything will be done perfectly without any supervision. Bravo to that shower window!
I've been under the assumption that's how it worked, that you do what needs doing and perhaps apply your own skills to better the place. Watching Selmar gave me hope that it's possible to leave a lasting mark on something historic and bigger than ourselves. Volunteering at Lalande is pretty much all I've talked about since March.
Selmar & Dan two treasures. Can you imagine the Chateau in years to come? Selmar with his restoration work inside & Dan with his magic in the garden & with Stephanie & Maman at the helm, it will be the BEST chateau in the whole of France. Not forgetting gentle Marie with her talent with flowers. What more could one want.❤️
Speaking as a Vet Tech., the cat will need an oral antibiotic. Cat's are very suseptable to infection, from even the most minor of wounds. Feline antibioics are just pennies. Better safe than sorry! Poor babe.x
Yes, I just asked if they had or could get colloidal silver. Used it for my cats wounds but if it's deep, he may need a vet, idk. Can't see it to know.
@@barbibutton9619 I can see from the video, it is on the deep side. I take it you are in contact with them? I would get the antibiotic. The farm Vet for the sheep will do it as well.
Keep dancing with him and he is a great teacher. Fun times with the dressing up for all occasions and various eras. I know all of you enjoy parties like this and the time you can dance and have fun together. Selmar can teach the steps a bit and then all of your dancing and enjoy the times in the evenings is such fun to see al lof you doing. Nice break up of the time, after working so hard. Selmar is not going to leave he is needed and he can be the Prince even? Yoru brother when he comes and Selmar as Prince and you Princess and your mom Queen ( Or the Queens mother??) and we could use even a Duke and Duchess? Micheal should be Prince too when he is there too? But keep Selmar. Everyone likes him and sees so much personality and just feel he fits right in!. I do not like or believe in goodbyes and my grandmother never would say that. She would say "So Long" but not Goodbye. We will see each other again!
Yes . Selma is the prince. But I think he is a mysterious man part angel. And looks like a rocknroll singer. I think he is a character in a fairy tale. A prince.
Just a little observation- Ruby the cat is a full fledged Tom cat in need of being neutered so as to prevent more stray kittens in need of homes, and fewer cuts and gashes from his territory battles. It would do him a great service to get him to a vet for a snip snip. He will thank you for it.
I've been realizing what an awesomely strong person you must be, Stephanie, to be able to continually adjust to the different personalities that come and share your space with you. I'm glad Mummy, Nat, and Selmar have been there regularly throughout this covid time. I don't know how you can keep your equilibrium through so many comings and goings but I'm delighted you share these intriguing characters with us. I'm going to really miss Tomaz and Antoine.
Selma this impost is really beautiful. I am a French finishing carpenter , cabinet maker and joiner and I’ve got a lot of respect for all the work that you been through in La Lande . 👌
What a great one - made my day! Can confirm that Selmar's work of art in the bathroom was fabulous - he's a genius! Honestly can't recommend a relaxing stay at Lalande enough! LOVED it and miss all the Lalander's!
Way too many good byes for one day.....I can’t believe Tomaz is gone, it seems as though he just got there.........Antoine and Marie will be back soon enough ..........hopefully you won’t be telling us Selmar is leaving anytime soon, that would just be tooooooo much...........another wonderful ending to a day at Lalande.........dancing in the kitchen.........xo. Donna in Toronto......ALSO MUMMY AND SELMAR RUBY DOESNT LIKE THE SOUND The spray bottle makes , that frightens her, try one of you hold her and then spray on her wounds.....txs
Lauren L ....guess all good things come to an end.........I forget that so many of the people there are volunteers and working.....its so nice seeing Marie and Nattie back again, but I will miss Tomaz as he was just a treasure.....nice to know someone else in Toronto is watching......
Selmar never disappoints! And how cool that he now has his art and handiwork in the apartment of the marquises! Amazing! Oh yea, and Tomaz made me cry. 😢
Thankyou so much. I was feeling a little bit low this evening and this has cheered me up. It's so nice to see you all having such a good time. Selmar is a star! I hope he stays for a long time. Thank you to all of you at Lalande for brightening my day.
Who needs therapy😵 when there is lalande!!!! A few weeks there and you go back to normality with a greater sense of love❤️, respect peace🙏 and joy!!!! Great holiday package idea!! 😃🤗 Selmar if you're wanting a small working break😉 come to sicily i have some odd jobs that I need done!!! 😅🤗
One of the best vlogs so far! The mix of activities and characters is just the most fun..where was Selma for the dancing finale? Thank you Stephanie for giving Tomas a heartfelt send off.
So sad to see Tomaz go after being there for so many months. He did such beautiful decorating in the various bedrooms and the laundry room has such beauty for such a hard-working space, especially in comparison to the way it was before he redid it. Did you have a going away dinner for him? Perhaps you did but just didn't film it? He added such life and beauty to the chateaux while he was there. I'll miss seeing him here.
That was Versailles, the pressure was low, so as the King sauntered, they turned off the fountain he had just passed, and they turned on the one coming up...it is probably where ballet came from...
Aside from the sad farewell to Tomaz, this might be my favorite vlog from LaLande to date. The sheer joy, the dancing, the friendship, the talent, the love... it's all so overwhelming and I'm in tears. I'm so envious of you all right now, but also my heart is filled with love for all of you.
I feel for Mummy, even that she says; l am so happy!. She is a beautiful wonderful l human being. Feel so much tenderness for her because she care for everything and everybody around her. Hope they protect her from all harms, she is so precious.
Well , after reading the comments-- Selmar is much loved , which is a good thing , Natalie is a great addition to a growing enterprise , also -- sweet lovely Marie is like her blooms - & dancing girls in the kitchen .... what more could you want ??
The Almighty richly blesses those that are kind to the elderly, the children, the sick, and to animals. it is very touching to see those who feed the body, soothe the spirit, and treat the physical needs of the helpless. good things to come to you. Bless you both through the Lord Jesus Christ, so be it now.
Selma what an awesome creative job of the space over the shower door -incredible! and Tomas has really added to the LeLander's a very special gift indeed. Each person in the Le Lande family adds their own wonderful uniqueness- Such gifts Stephanie...
Selmar's improvements everywhere around the chateau just make everything so much nicer. I don't know if I could handle so many people coming and going all the time, but I guess that's the life of someone with so many guests.
I’m concerned about the lovely cat, Ruby. Stephanie needs to know that it’s a HE not a SHE and that he needs to be neutered ASAP to prevent him roaming and getting attacked again. Please tell Isabelle or Selmar to take him to the vet and get this done. 🙏🏻❤️
Thomas, you have been a joy to watch over the last few months. I wish you great success and I'm sure you will be greatly missed by all at La La Land 😅😃 (sorry, I cannot resist, that's my pet name for the chateau)
Selmar is so amazing! He can never leave! What a talent! Tomaz leaving was so sad. Because of quarantine I feel like we’re all apart of the family and not seeing the amazing people working there and making a difference to the chateaux is truly remarkable. Merci beaucoup pour vos vlog! Merci à tous!
The joy of sharing this is that we all feel we are part of the Chauteau and Chauteau Family! It was so sad to wave goodbye to Tomaz! Hope he returns soon! Selmar has so many admirers! He is one of the Angels sent to the Chauteau!
Will miss Tomaz. He seemed like a trooper - and a Creative one at that! Good Luck with your future endeavours Tomaz - just subscribed to your Channel! Cheers from 🇨🇦
for a quick dried tomato, choose any of your favorite variety---i like the small sweet 100's or the teardrop salad tomatoes. prepare by halving. place on a well greased half/whole sheet pan. sprinkle liberally w/ good evoo, sprinkle w/ sea salt, good ground black pepper, white granulated sugar, a bit of cinnamon, dried thyme, dried dill, and powdered cardamon. you may change these dried herbs as/ your taste. place i a preheated oven (300 F) uncovered for 2 1/2 hours. stir them about every 45 minutes. if they are full of moisture, it will take more time. just turn down to (300 F), until you get them to a wrinkled appearance, and they have a chew to them. allow to cool, and place them in a glass jar, being sure to save oil, liquids, and seasonings for jar. add a bit of red wine, red wine vinegar (1 Tblspn+), or (1-1/2 Tblspn's balsalmic vinegar (I love the balsalmic). it is important to add the vinegar, as the olive oil will need to be tempered by it. vinegar will keep out anaerobic growth and the olive oil from becoming rancid, if not refrigerated. i prepare to or three flats at one time for my catering business, as it is cost effective, saves on loss, and wonderfully fresh-tasting and vibrant in stews, sauces, and on salads. if i use whole cherry tomatoes, i put them atop of blanched, salted, peppered asparagus, cippolini onions, and cornichons. i call the presentation jeweled asparagus, for the presentation can be done in the form of a starburst or a crown. i usually use a silver salver, baccarat round server, or spode in blue. it can be very beautiful and very tasty. this use of tomatoes allows one to use them immediately or save them in the pantry. i also like the recipe because i live in a seasonal region of the States, and i have to rely on tomatoes from mexico, california, and florida. this method is a way of getting a deep, deep tomato flavor any time of year. i hope you will try it, if you haven't. bon appetite.
Selmar is one of the special lucky people there that with his particular skills and talent, will make the chateau a better place for generations to come. Good people attract good and that is so evident at Lalande!
I freeze bread in plastic bags, many of them , I bake my own to. To use them will take only 30 min out of freezer or wrap in aluminium foil and in to oven for 20min to make fresh baked again. =)
With tears in my eyes I watched yet another wonderful volunteer bid farewell to Lalande ... but they were not sad tears because when one wonderful person leaves, it opens the door for the next wonderful volunteer to come in....😭😭😭😭🌹❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁. Stephanie has breathed new energy and new life into The Chateau de Lalande..., and her family and friends and volunteers truly are the beating heart of the Chateau 💜🧡💛🙏🏻💙🌍☮️🌍💜
I love to watch your mother as she goes about her work whether indoors or outside. I can so relate to her passion for the gardens. I absolutely loved seeing the girls dancing and singing near the end. Thank you for sharing! Much love❣
Lovely video, and I've always let the ads play, however UA-cam has been adding mid-roll ads and this time it must have interrupted the video around 8 times. Is it just me or were there a lot? I definitely want to support Lalande. Thought I'd just mention it as some creators want to know what UA-cam is doing with ads during the video.
Hmm, ok. I let the first one go but the second set followed up soon after and my husband gave me a look. As it's our watch Lalande time, I sadly skipped the rest. I will go back later and watch it again, if it helps. I felt so bad. But I've always allowed the pre-video or post-vid ads if there are any.
Selmar once again showing such talent. Each person brings something to the table as we say and leaves with the knowledge that they were part of the restoration of Lalande. So sad to see Tomaz go, but he leaves his mark to no matter how small or large. :)
Although many of my favorite people are leaving Le Chateau I know they’re pursuing something intended for them and wish them all the best and lots of love. The joyful dancing and singing in the kitchen dance floor is such a great way to end the night on a high note. Celebrating the intimacy of community, friendship, and creativity. It’s inspiring. Hopefully we see everyone once again! Thank you for yet another amazing vlog, Stephanie! ~ Maxximo Morabito
Stephanie, you all have the best chemistry. What a gift to watch!!! Those wild women dancing are empowered by the Lalande ghosts!!! Can’t wait to come visit someday!!! Sharing in your well deserved success! Keep showing the world Stephanie love power!
Stephanie you did well having a talented person like Selmar to work there in the Chateau. He understands your taste very well. Helps you show off your Chateau the way it should look. BEAUTIFUL, Bravo well done Selmar. Again wonderful show, thank you. God bless to all.
So sorry to see Tomaz go, he seemed to be made to live at the Chateau. He has so many talents, and they complimented life there so well. Good luck Tomaz, hope to see you again at the Chateau!
A trick with Tomatoes I learn (through poor planning) if you freeze them (in Ziploc or such bags). When you let them half thaw out It is the water that thaws first which you can poor off. Than what is left is the body and the flavour and you have to boil it down less for sauces.
Goodbye for now to the lovely Marie and charming Antoine. There are marble sealers that can be applied, which protect the marble. ☺️ Michael Potts has a wonderful way about him. Blessings on your way, Tomas. Your composition is very beautiful! You are all adorable. I love that artistic window Selmar created! The space looks amazing, with it installed. What a gorgeous robe, Marie! It suits you. What a beautiful yellow blouse Amanda has on. Congrats to you and hubby. 💗 What a gorgeous butterfly! A painted lady, I believe. So many lovely ladies of LaLande 💗. Just adore Natie!
I had pulled away from watching my subscribed videos, not realizing that things here had pulled me down more than I had realized. Not just being away from family due to the virus, but the darkness of our times, with politics, the racism and the brutality of some. Then watching the girls in their post clean up, kitchen dance party, I had to hold back the tears. Thank you, all.
Still smiling. This channel seems to have cured my depression. I have not been this happy and inspired in all of my life. I'm watching wonderful things unfold, week after week, challenge after challenge, guest after guest. Thank you Stephanie for starting this journey and sharing it with the world. You've breathed life into the chateau.
Thanks so much LaLanders! I desperately needed this small reminder that love and joy are still out there for the finding after experiencing the trials of my countrymen this week in America. I pray that you and yours will never change. You are needed now more than ever...
Stephanie a quick tip about marble benches, I had them in my previous kitchen. Polish the surface with beeswax, it protects from the acid in wine, citrus, tomatoes, etc.🇦🇺
How? How do you do it? Every time I watch a vlog from the Chateau I end up with a huge smile on my face and feeling even more like a part of your beautiful party of friends, family and guests. I just decided I need more margaritas in my life. I love the fact that Selmar sees some job that needs doing, like a header over a shower, and turns it into a lovely work of art. He is so artistic and talented. Tomaz added so many touches to the Chateau during his stay and then to compose a piece of music at the end was just the icing on the proverbial cake. It's almost like the lands and buildings of the chateau bring out some magical, mystical talents among those who show up on it's doorstep. Thank you yet again for making my life happier.
Firstly I would like to say that Selmar is marvelous! Mommy Isabel's tomatoes look fabulous! And all the ladies dancing at the end singing together as sisters, remind me so much of my sisters and cousins when we would get together, so much joy!
Another fabulous funtastic vlog👌. Good byes not so much. Wishing all the travellers safe miles and smiles until we see them again. 💛🏰💋. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA
Selmar must never leave. He's such a personality!
4 years later, I still miss him 😊
I think at this point Selma is going to stay forever... also I love that he dresses up so handsomely for dinners!
Yes and for dance lessons. A man who gets his hands dirty, can fix anything yet turns into a gentleman after a hard days work.
From your comment to God’s ears!!! Let’s hope Selma stays forever! 😃
AND he loves all the animals!
@Joan In Florida Good point. Nati is now staff. Selmar is needed too.
Yes,yes!!!
Selmars art work above the shower door is a true piece of art!!!
Yes, kind of art nouveau
I love how he encountered a problem and instead of simply fixing it, thought of a way to make it more beautiful. A true artist!

The most extraordinary thing about Selmar is not only that he is so talented in so many ways, but also that he can work on different chateau projects absolutely independently, and you may be sure everything will be done perfectly without any supervision. Bravo to that shower window!
Sorry thomas has gone he was such fun
I've been under the assumption that's how it worked, that you do what needs doing and perhaps apply your own skills to better the place. Watching Selmar gave me hope that it's possible to leave a lasting mark on something historic and bigger than ourselves. Volunteering at Lalande is pretty much all I've talked about since March.
@@janhenry9733 Yup, he is such an asset.
Selmar & Dan two treasures. Can you imagine the Chateau in years to come?
Selmar with his restoration work inside & Dan with his magic in the garden & with Stephanie & Maman at the helm, it will be the BEST chateau in the whole of France. Not forgetting gentle Marie with her talent with flowers. What more could one want.❤️
Don't forget Nati :D
Selmar's artistic work on the shower is splendid! I loved the women dancing and laughing. So much fun at LaLande.
Speaking as a Vet Tech., the cat will need an oral antibiotic. Cat's are very suseptable to infection, from even the most minor of wounds. Feline antibioics are just pennies. Better safe than sorry! Poor babe.x
Yes, I just asked if they had or could get colloidal silver. Used it for my cats wounds but if it's deep, he may need a vet, idk. Can't see it to know.
I noticed he is not neutered either. That sometimes helps to keep tomcats from fighting.
@@barbibutton9619 Colloidal Silver is amazing stuff and so easy to make . I always have a bottle around and when running out just make another .
@@barbibutton9619 I can see from the video, it is on the deep side. I take it you are in contact with them? I would get the antibiotic. The farm Vet for the sheep will do it as well.
Julie Pike I noticed that too! Please neuter your cat! Too many unwanted kittens get euthanized in shelters.
Keep Selmar forever, hire him so no one will steal him away.
He is one worker for lifetime to keep amazing guy mutli skilled
Keep dancing with him and he is a great teacher. Fun times with the dressing up for all occasions and various eras. I know all of you enjoy parties like this and the time you can dance and have fun together. Selmar can teach the steps a bit and then all of your dancing and enjoy the times in the evenings is such fun to see al lof you doing. Nice break up of the time, after working so hard.
Selmar is not going to leave he is needed and he can be the Prince even? Yoru brother when he comes and Selmar as Prince and you Princess and your mom Queen ( Or the Queens mother??) and we could use even a Duke and Duchess? Micheal should be Prince too when he is there too?
But keep Selmar. Everyone likes him and sees so much personality and just feel he fits right in!.
I do not like or believe in goodbyes and my grandmother never would say that. She would say "So Long" but not Goodbye. We will see each other again!
Yes . Selma is the prince. But I think he is a mysterious man part angel. And looks like a rocknroll singer. I think he is a character in a fairy tale. A prince.
I was thinking the same thing
How amazing is Selmar? Art Nouveau scrolls from things lying around the chateau and butterfly whispering.
Just a little observation- Ruby the cat is a full fledged Tom cat in need of being neutered so as to prevent more stray kittens in need of homes, and fewer cuts and gashes from his territory battles. It would do him a great service to get him to a vet for a snip snip. He will thank you for it.
Maria Di Giovanni Yes I would too x
Selmar, your artistic work on the shower is beautiful. You are indeed very creative. 🙏🏻🙋♂️
Stephanie you need to keep Selmar forever!
Donna Stevenson LeLand wouldn’t be the same without Selmar ❣️
I hope your cat is better soon I am sure it will be as Selmar and your mother are on the job.
I've been realizing what an awesomely strong person you must be, Stephanie, to be able to continually adjust to the different personalities that come and share your space with you. I'm glad Mummy, Nat, and Selmar have been there regularly throughout this covid time. I don't know how you can keep your equilibrium through so many comings and goings but I'm delighted you share these intriguing characters with us. I'm going to really miss Tomaz and Antoine.

Golden Selmar! So calm so useful
Selmar has such intent in all he does. Wonderful.
The dance parties in the kitchen are my absolute favorite thing ever ❣

When you were cutting and smelling the bread, I instinctively put the phone to my nose. Silly me!

for a quick dried tomato, choose any of your favorite variety---i like the small sweet 100's or the teardrop salad tomatoes. prepare by halving. place on a well greased half/whole sheet pan. sprinkle liberally w/ good evoo, sprinkle w/ sea salt, good ground black pepper, white granulated sugar, a bit of cinnamon, dried thyme, dried dill, and powdered cardamon. you may change these dried herbs as/ your taste. place i a preheated oven (300 F) uncovered for 2 1/2 hours. stir them about every 45 minutes. if they are full of moisture, it will take more time. just turn down to (300 F), until you get them to a wrinkled appearance, and they have a chew to them. allow to cool, and place them in a glass jar, being sure to save oil, liquids, and seasonings for jar. add a bit of red wine, red wine vinegar (1 Tblspn+), or (1-1/2 Tblspn's balsalmic vinegar (I love the balsalmic). it is important to add the vinegar, as the olive oil will need to be tempered by it. vinegar will keep out anaerobic growth and the olive oil from becoming rancid, if not refrigerated. i prepare to or three flats at one time for my catering business, as it is cost effective, saves on loss, and wonderfully fresh-tasting and vibrant in stews, sauces, and on salads. if i use whole cherry tomatoes, i put them atop of blanched, salted, peppered asparagus, cippolini onions, and cornichons. i call the presentation jeweled asparagus, for the presentation can be done in the form of a starburst or a crown. i usually use a silver salver, baccarat round server, or spode in blue. it can be very beautiful and very tasty. this use of tomatoes allows one to use them immediately or save them in the pantry. i also like the recipe because i live in a seasonal region of the States, and i have to rely on tomatoes from mexico, california, and florida. this method is a way of getting a deep, deep tomato flavor any time of year. i hope you will try it, if you haven't. bon appetite.
I seriously hope Selmar moves in FOREVER!! sad to see everyone leave
Vlogger Jessica Sowards of Roots and Refuge says that "store bought tomatoes taste like disappointment,"
Rachel Carter I cant eat store bought tomatoes anymore ..
Especially when you have your own in the garden.
I love Roots and Refuge!
That was the best vlog so far🤣brilliant 🤣🤣
Selmar is one of the special lucky people there that with his particular skills and talent, will make the chateau a better place for generations to come. Good people attract good and that is so evident at Lalande!
I freeze bread in plastic bags, many of them , I bake my own to. To use them will take only 30 min out of freezer or wrap in aluminium foil and in to oven for 20min to make fresh baked again. =)
With tears in my eyes I watched yet another wonderful volunteer bid farewell to Lalande ... but they were not sad tears because when one wonderful person leaves, it opens the door for the next wonderful volunteer to come in....😭😭😭😭🌹❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁. Stephanie has breathed new energy and new life into The Chateau de Lalande..., and her family and friends and volunteers truly are the beating heart of the Chateau 💜🧡💛🙏🏻💙🌍☮️🌍💜
So true!
I was sad to see Tomaz to leave but maybe I will run into him in Portugal I have a home there in Lagos... One never knows
I love to watch your mother as she goes about her work whether indoors or outside. I can so relate to her passion for the gardens. I absolutely loved seeing the girls dancing and singing near the end. Thank you for sharing! Much love❣
Lovely video, and I've always let the ads play, however UA-cam has been adding mid-roll ads and this time it must have interrupted the video around 8 times. Is it just me or were there a lot? I definitely want to support Lalande. Thought I'd just mention it as some creators want to know what UA-cam is doing with ads during the video.
it wasn't just you, there were double ads every 3 minutes, about 10 times... it was too much.
Hmm, ok. I let the first one go but the second set followed up soon after and my husband gave me a look. As it's our watch Lalande time, I sadly skipped the rest. I will go back later and watch it again, if it helps. I felt so bad. But I've always allowed the pre-video or post-vid ads if there are any.
conjuring up tomato recipes and making the most of that lake Garda oil.....pasta/pizza heaven
Selmar once again showing such talent. Each person brings something to the table as we say and leaves with the knowledge that they were part of the restoration of Lalande. So sad to see Tomaz go, but he leaves his mark to no matter how small or large. :)
Although many of my favorite people are leaving Le Chateau I know they’re pursuing something intended for them and wish them all the best and lots of love. The joyful dancing and singing in the kitchen dance floor is such a great way to end the night on a high note. Celebrating the intimacy of community, friendship, and creativity. It’s inspiring. Hopefully we see everyone once again! Thank you for yet another amazing vlog, Stephanie! ~ Maxximo Morabito
Stephanie, you all have the best chemistry. What a gift to watch!!!
Those wild women dancing are empowered by the Lalande ghosts!!!
Can’t wait to come visit someday!!!
Sharing in your well deserved success!
Keep showing the world Stephanie love power!
Stephanie you did well having a talented person like Selmar to work there in the Chateau. He understands your taste very well. Helps you show off your Chateau the way it should look. BEAUTIFUL, Bravo well done Selmar. Again wonderful show, thank you.
God bless to all.
So sorry to see Tomaz go, he seemed to be made to live at the Chateau. He has so many talents, and they complimented life there so well. Good luck Tomaz, hope to see you again at the Chateau!
Selma is an incredible human, I am always impressed by everything about him. Lalande ladies, the dancing really cheered me up. Thank you.
A trick with Tomatoes I learn (through poor planning) if you freeze them (in Ziploc or such bags). When you let them half thaw out It is the water that thaws first which you can poor off. Than what is left is the body and the flavour and you have to boil it down less for sauces.
Goodbye for now to the lovely Marie and charming Antoine.
There are marble sealers that can be applied, which protect the marble. ☺️
Michael Potts has a wonderful way about him. Blessings on your way, Tomas. Your composition is very beautiful! You are all adorable.
I love that artistic window Selmar created! The space looks amazing, with it installed.
What a gorgeous robe, Marie! It suits you.
What a beautiful yellow blouse Amanda has on. Congrats to you and hubby. 💗
What a gorgeous butterfly! A painted lady, I believe.
So many lovely ladies of LaLande 💗.
Just adore Natie!
Plz don’t ever let Selma go..he is so valuable....
I had pulled away from watching my subscribed videos, not realizing that things here had pulled me down more than I had realized. Not just being away from family due to the virus, but the darkness of our times, with politics, the racism and the brutality of some. Then watching the girls in their post clean up, kitchen dance party, I had to hold back the tears. Thank you, all.
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful craftsmanship by Selmar. Triumphant black tomatoes by Isabelle. Epic soundtrack and kitchen dancing.xxx
Still smiling. This channel seems to have cured my depression. I have not been this happy and inspired in all of my life. I'm watching wonderful things unfold, week after week, challenge after challenge, guest after guest. Thank you Stephanie for starting this journey and sharing it with the world. You've breathed life into the chateau.
Lalande is seriously such a special place!!! There’s so much beauty, laughter and wonderful people!!! Hopefully some day I get to visit!
Thanks so much LaLanders! I desperately needed this small reminder that love and joy are still out there for the finding after experiencing the trials of my countrymen this week in America. I pray that you and yours will never change. You are needed now more than ever...
My love for Selmar will never die! He's brilliant and such a light. It will be a sad day when he moves on from Lalande.
Stephanie a quick tip about marble benches, I had them in my previous kitchen. Polish the surface with beeswax, it protects from the acid in wine, citrus, tomatoes, etc.🇦🇺
How? How do you do it? Every time I watch a vlog from the Chateau I end up with a huge smile on my face and feeling even more like a part of your beautiful party of friends, family and guests. I just decided I need more margaritas in my life. I love the fact that Selmar sees some job that needs doing, like a header over a shower, and turns it into a lovely work of art. He is so artistic and talented. Tomaz added so many touches to the Chateau during his stay and then to compose a piece of music at the end was just the icing on the proverbial cake. It's almost like the lands and buildings of the chateau bring out some magical, mystical talents among those who show up on it's doorstep. Thank you yet again for making my life happier.
Desdemona is a beautiful rose and scent. Xx
Firstly I would like to say that Selmar is marvelous! Mommy Isabel's tomatoes look fabulous! And all the ladies dancing at the end singing together as sisters, remind me so much of my sisters and cousins when we would get together, so much joy!
Heartbreaking to say good-bye to all your friends...for now....Love>>>
