    Thank you for sharing a video of your visit to the tapestry museum. If not for your video, I would never have known there was such a thing. The museum houses such exquisite works of art. It's truly priceless. I enjoy watching your daily videos. Take care. Lancelot is a wonderful addition to the Lalande household. 😊

    Stephanie, thank you so much for these videos. Here in the US, you can't just jump in the car and go to a quaint village with a tapestry museum. I'd never see these things without your videos.
    (The addition of 2 dogs just makes it epic!)

    The gifts for Lancelot are perfect. All dogs love squeaky toys… he was so excited.
    Love jumper, cup holder and all the banter and fun in the kitchen.
    Glad Molly was taken care of too.
    The tapestry museum was fabulous. Thank you for another great day.❤❤❤

    Those presents, all SO great!! That Lancelot is already the best dressed dog in France! 👌😂

    Lancelot got the best gifts 🎁 by far! He looks magnificent! Stephanie, if I was up in my NY home, I’d definitely love to have that glove, and the jumper is so warm and holiday perfect! Marie’s mom is so sweet. The tapestry’s are so beautiful. What a wonderful place to visit. I think your embroidery machine could make quilt squares of one of your father’s paintings. From there your on your own 🤣🤣🤣 I know nothing of either sorry. ♥️🏰🇫🇷

    The tea mitten is genius! And Lancelot's pure focus on getting that squeaky toy is adorable - but not quite as adorable as the (much welcome in winter) warm little outfits for him - he's likely cold inside as well as outside the chateau, so they're perfect!

    Well I can see now that Lancelot will have to have his own little room with plenty of shelves for clothes and accessories etc. Loved the tapastries, I used to make them years ago much smaller of course but I found them so rewarding when finished. I love the Lalande daily family interaction, so real life. I visited Norway many years ago and stayed for months, I got hooked on the way they knitted using a circular knitting needle, always use them still even in straight knitting as its easier on the hands and the arthritis. Thank you all. 💕🇦🇺

      I used to always knit with circulars. Unfortunately, I can't even do that anymore. I miss it like crazy!! My favorite thing to knit was socks and of course for that you use very small needles and very thin yarn which exacerbated my arthritis.
