What a beautiful dedication Donna made to her friend allowing her to continue her world travels in spirit by having her favourite flowers grown in Lalande. Stephanie's kindness and compassion always shines through so we can be rest assured she'll ensure that the sunflower seeds are planted in memory of Donna's friend. 💛🌻 Great job Philip on fixing Joseph, looking forward to seeing how you get on with putting Humpty back together again 🤣🍳

Phillip deserves the sweets for doing such a great job with the precious statue 😊 so many lovely gifts, as usual ❤️

He always has a big appetite and is always eager to help.

The statue found his place, back to France, in the right place.... a chapel. Love it, greetings from Marie

A beautiful job on the statue. He's a talented guy. He can fix anything.

I was amazed with Stephanie remembering the pink material matching the green tissue paper.

@@kimberlyguerra4283 Kimberly that is incredibly kind of you to say, thank you so much.

Wow! Yet again the gift givers have offered up such beautiful surprises and well thought out presents. It makes the world seem like a less scary place knowing how many lovely people are out there who are so generous with their time, talents and love. I love the good hearted ribbing Phillip gets. He really is a lovely young man. I loved the silver necklace. I never knew you could crochet silver either! The Christian Dior hatbox is a treasure in and of itself not to mention the gifts inside it. The large table cloth is so delicate and stunning it could almost serve as a veil for a bride. Thanks again for all the fun.

the silver necklace is absolutely beautiful - how clever and talented

Nattie, your hair looks adorable.

The Wedgewood pieces are so small and delicate. The perfect place to display them would be in the newly renovated powder room. The walls could be painted in the softest of blue and a creamy white trim everywhere along with crisp white linens. A Little bling in the chrome of the sink hardware and faucet and chandelier, a little rustic in the stone floor, and a little refinement with the display of Wedgewood.

Wonderful idea!

Philip, you're so cute eating that leftover chocolate hahaha! Just like me when I was a kid and my grandma cooked candied coconut!

That was so moving the sunflower seeds story....🥺 And that Christian Dior hat box with its content! Just wow! 🤩

Another great gift opening! The sunflower seed tribute almost had me in tears. I too love sunflowers. If you grow the sunflowers this year, maybe you can save some of the seeds from the head and replant next year so that the tribute continues on year by year! Sad that it was Philips last day but glad to hear he’s back...where he belongs in my humble opinion! He is a huge asset to all you do at Lalande, repairing the statue of St Joseph was some feat! He deserved the left over chocolate as a reward! X🌻🌻🌻

Tassels of that size and beauty are pretty expensive, nice gift. Same with Philips tray, beautiful. Thanks to all of you and your chearfulness during this tuff time for the world. My snowdrops bloomed and the tulips are pushing their way up to the sun🌷💐🌼🌻🌸☀️🌻🌻🌻🌻

The rider of Pegasus was Perseus. Thank you, Philip, you are so talented ❤ Fixing the statue of St. Joseph is the sweetest thing! St. Anthony always carried The Infant Jesus in his arm. He is always depicted this way. While, St. Joseph is always guiding an older boy, and a lily.

Wonderful evening watching and delighted the statue is in the chapel. Well done Philip. 👏👏

Judging by the dress of the statue, it is definitely St. Joseph. Just a little touching up with paint and it's fabulous. You can do that as well, Philip, you've got the talent and the knowlegde!!

I was going to say the same. Searching for images of St. Anthony of Padua and he is consistently in a Franciscan friar's robe. Philip really is painstaking about doing repairs.

Each box held treasure today, all beautiful in so many ways.Love and Remembrance 🌻❤️ Art, Vintage couture, vintage fabrics and jewels . But the real treasure are the connections from all parts of the world.💜

It's International Woman's Day, and the socks I'm a girl, what's your superpower is so perfectly timed. Thank you Stephanie for the postcard in the mail; I didn't expect it to be scented, and it smells so nice. I appreciate all the vlogs, and the effort you make not only in creating the content, but then to reach out and personally thank everyone. You're a remarkable woman.

Loved the bracelets you received! Stunning! Stephanie, you, Selmar, Marie, Nati and Phillip brigthen our day with every vlog you do. Love to watch you open cadeaux with such love and appreciation! Great job Lalanders!

General comment about Cadeaux at the Chateau: I love how you ALWAYS show immense, personalized gratitude for gifts, no matter what they are or from whom they are received. You ooh and aah over every single gift, no matter what they are, no matter how simple or grandiose, no matter how tasteful or tacky! It makes me reflect on and regret how I have from time to time been less than a gracious recipient of gifts. Thank you for your excellent example and reminder of how to say Thank You!

Hurry back Phillip, you will be missed. Hope all willl be well with your family. Jenny, it's lovely to have you at LaLande. Thank you to Stephanie and all the LaLanders, where ever you are. Take care all

À bientôt !! Merci Stéphanie -et Nattie- pour ces vidéos ! 🌸🌸🌸

The necklace really suits you Stefanie! It's beautiful!

Perseus rode Pegasus. The Wedgewood would be pretty arranged in a shadow box. An ornate silver frame with a French blue velvet behind the Wedgewood.

James... the socks were hilarious! You choose so well. Thanks La Lande! xxx

My son recently moved to Redwood City, CA with his family. It made my day for you to mention the city. Stephanie, I love watching all your videos. 💖

That silver necklace, gold night dress and so many lovely gifts. You are blessed.

I am amazaed byr your Talent of glueing together objects Philip. This is the second time I see you. The last time was for a x-mas present. Incredible! you have "des doigts de fées"! ...as we say here in Quebec. I always wonder how ou overcome the fact that when the glue itself takes up some space, the peaces still perfectly fit! ?

Pure joy watching this. Thank you.

Enjoyed. I love the peacock painting, Very beautiful. Great gifts from everyone. So happy the statue made it to the chapel. Love to all ❤

I really got a good laugh from all the socks!!

It’s lovely to see the statue back in the chapel - I was worried someone might knock it off the end of the dresser before it got to the chapel! Great job Philip! Some beautiful gifts and, wow, the Dior nightdress was beautiful as was the exquisite silver necklace and the bracelets! I look forward to seeing the sunflowers grow in the Chateau garden in memory of the lovely dancer.

Stephanie has a fantastic memory for detail… amazing !!! Phillip definitely has an eye for beauty !!! He is definitely meant for Chateau de Lalande !!! The statue is definitely St. Joseph with the child Jesus. St Anthony usually is with the infant Jesus and he would be wearing a brown Franciscan habit. c”,)

Another wonderful visit with my favorite people!

The Statue definitely shows St. Joseph - the Patron of your Chapel. St. Anthony is always depicted as a young Man with no beard, a major tonsure of a monk and he wears the habit of the Franciscans. ☺️👍

Phillip yes with the chocolate soup.

So lovely! Such beautiful gifts! (I also used to get teased much like Philip does! They say it's because they love us!! I love tasting food as well....and lucky I wasn't there or he would have had to share that left over chocolat!) LOL!...

Can you do a vlog on wedgewood? My daughter inherited a beautiful set of dishes from her Grandmother. It would be nice to know the history of the brand.

Another brilliant vlog part 2.Such lovely gifts once again think you will need an extension on the chateau in time just to keep them all.Phillip you do make me laugh the way you like your food (especially chocolate or sweets) must have as we would say a sweet tooth.Enjoy your week with your family.When I use my moulds if iam putting chocolate in them I use olive oil and just rub sparingly inside it stops them from sticking.Looing forward to next week .Take care all.
