We at Villioti Fashion Institute, are just so grateful for this wonderful scholarship that Stephanie has decided to support, it might be for one person, but that one person will be able to change his or her life, but all of there family’s, So in actual fact it’s not just one life it affects its many. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible, we will definitely keep you posted on who the person is when they are chosen, and why we feel this person deserves the support. Plus we will follow their progress throughout their studies, and further. Thank you Stephanie all Lalanders, and everyone who watches this awesome show. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼❤️🇿🇦🤓🥂😷 Spero Villioti

I love that someone who would never manage to get to a designer school ordinarily, will have a chance to showcase and benefit via their creative talents. Very well done you lovely, lovely people.

"Yeah, it's knocked off a few years" "....get off the armchair". 😂😂😂😂

So much joy in this video. Philip's little giggles and snorts make my day!! Thank you all!!

What a wonderful plan to start a scholarship to the fashion school. Often times some of the most talented artists can not afford to train in their chosen field and to know that we all played a part in helping someone move higher in life is a great honour. Yet again the gifts were so thoughtful and the art and fashion chosen to fit each person. It is obvious that you evoke a loving response from us all.

I love Philip and his hedgehog, I laugh all the time!

thank you all so much for the company.. missed you all.. see you soon.. and to stephanie thank you so much that you gave us a platform to make friends from all over the world.. xxx

A scholarship! So fantastic! I'm an educator myself, and someone who has studied the arts for over 15 years, it's such a JOY that Lalande is helping to fund education in this area that so often is neglected in scholarship funding! Many thanks for this! I'm even happier watching the ads now!

So glad you liked the Bibles. I sent them in September, so all these months and I wondered if they ever got there at all! Thank you for letting me participate in your world for the Chapel. May God Bless you and Keep you with your friends and family. - Sheryl P.

Stephanie & Mummy: I'm thinking each bible should be kept in gallon-size zippered plastic bags (large "zip-locks") while stored due to potential of mold growing on paper if any moisture in the chapel.

That was a very thoughtful gift. I think that many people who visit the Chapel in years to come (religious or not) will find solace in those bibles.

📚It was a precious gift📿, esp. in English and French as well as Protestant and Catholic versions. You have multiplied the chances a visitor will be touched by your thoughtfulness. 👍 🕊God bless you! ~~~~~~~~~ 📖Re: Book Storage💧. As a precaution, it would be fine for them to be kept short term in an 🔓unlocked* zippered plastic bag in pews. *😣NOTE: A sealed plastic bag will increase humidity & encourage mold growth. If they go zip-loc bag route, they need to affix a Label about the importance of leaving unsealed. For protection of Bible/Hymnal, plz do not 🚫 SEAL bag. 🎉 They would need to add one of those tiny silica gel packets that come with new shoes (& other products) in order to "wick away" any moisture. 🤔Think you can acquire a supply of those online. $5 USD on Amazon for 100 1g packets. ⚒They could DIY a version of the above with coffee filters and non-clumping 😸cat litter sand. The filter is porous enough to keep litter contained while not diminishing it's affinity for water💦 in any discernible way. 👩‍🔬One of the "hygroscopic substances" available on the cheap is a mineral called "zeolite" which is the main ingredient in the above😽. 👨‍🔬The truth is folks have been balancing humidity for ages without elaborate A/C systems. Cigars are another item sensitive to moisture💦 in environment. Hence, the creation of humidors. They use special gauges and chemicals to ➕add moisture as well as ➖remove it. 👩‍🏫Maybe they shouldn't store them all there in the Chapel long term. Only leave a couple on hand for someone wanting spiritual comfort. Bring out the bulk of books for services. 🔍No expert, but I am a book lover. ⬇️This resource below goes in much better detail on the subject. 👩‍⚖It would be easy enough to manage if someone @ ⚜LaLande was willing to take ownership of 📗Library (or archival duties). 📆 Also maybe put Book Chores on some kind of bi-monthly or quarterly rota for dusting, pest & mold prevention. Just like a 🌱planting schedule, Martha Stewart would want this function on the 🏰estate house-keeping calendar. Think that is 🗝Chatelaine Stephanie's territory to spearhead the creation of some sort of 📅master calendar 🗂 as well as suitable training for each assignment. 👩‍💻While Super Star, Nati, manages the day-to-day scheduling, actual training, & running of B&B related things. lifehacks.stackexchange.com/questions/15696/how-to-store-books-in-less-than-ideal-conditions

I like the idea of local charities, orphanage, shelter homes, etc. They're the ones that really struggle for funding and they do concrete work. Big/well known organisations have many donors and income streams, and frankly spend a lot on meetings/conferences, travel and salary rather than "real" work.

🎉 Yes, that sparkly Harlequin gown looks absolutely ☄enchanting ☄ on Nati 🎉. ⚡It was most flattering on her voluptuous feminine figure ⏳-- as if custom made✂️. She looked marvelous pairing it with the elegant Mardi Gras mask too⚡. 😉 Would definitely suggest she keep it squirreled away in her own closet for a special costume event. 🦋

It is so wonderful to see the love for all at the chateau and then the love that Stephanie shows to others in donations in what the channel generates. I am from the U.S. and love is what I need to see right now,thank you to all!!!💖💝💖

Wow, Nati was born for that dress and with the addition of the mask, gorgeous! It is interesting how in so many of the videos certain gifts just seem to compliment other gifts or seem to work out perfectly with something. Great idea for the scholarship as well!

I love that so much money is going to amazing charities, thanks to Stephanie and the team.

That tree is magical. I've lived through 60 Christmases and your tree is the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's like an art installation.

Love the fact that this will go to sponsor a scholarship!💛 Also loved all the artwork in today’s cadeaux. Hope all is well with everyone! 💛

How great to support education, culture and the arts. It is your own education and experiences that you keep sharing and that makes your channel special and unique!

📺 Another charming episode of 🎁Cadeau @ the ⚜Chateau! So happy you're able to💰contribute toward someone's creative education🎓 as well as other positive charitable endeavors. 🎉Thanks to all those who so thoughtfully contribute for our enjoyment. 😍 Love how everyone in her court kept rotating around LaLande's Queen bee 🐝 on the seating in front of the fireplace🔥 for the duration of this video. 🎉 Well done!

Stephanie you are such a gracious lovely woman surrounded by lovely unique charming friends. :-) thank you all for sharing XXXXXXX

Generosity proves to be the gift that keeps on giving. So beautiful! Thank you!

That is a beautiful gesture regarding the scholarship to someone in need at the Fashion Institute in South Africa...Love, Love, Love...

I loved this vlog...Stephanie you manage to make gratefulness so beautiful and entertaining as well.

Oh I love the idea of a LaLande Arts Scholarship!

I love how the people keep changing. Gives everyone a little time on camera.

So happy that you are going to support art students to follow their dreams.

STEPHANIE, In New Orleans, Alabama, and other States, the carnival masks are displayed on a wall to exhibit their beauty all year long. I love your channel so much. It is by far the most interesting, happy, entertaining, informative and inviting KZread Chateau series online. I don't miss an episode. Your guests are so fascinating and everyone seems naturally themselves. Your individual gifts meld so well together. Have a fantastic 2021.

Stephanie and Michael, I'm crying listening to how you are dedicating this money towards a worthy South African student. I'm so so proud and thank you. Love from Ballito in South Africa.

wow what a gorgeous stunningly beautiful painting the lady did for you

What a wonderful idea for the scholarship! Also, for me to keep in mind...hedgehog, yellow, garden and something else...... Your vlog has been (is) a delight. Thank you so much for sharing. Everyone seems to genuinely appreciative, especially of the edible gifts.🤔 I really do enjoy it when Phillip snorts off camera! You are truly one of the best discoveries out of covid.

I love all your presents ❤️ Naties dress looks so beautiful on her x

The blue ball gown has to belong to Natalie, she looked absolutely stunning in it!

Love to see you all happy opening gifts from generous admirers of La Lalonde ....Selmar giggling in the background is always a treat!!!

Hi all‼️😁 great vlog, luv the presents and it was nice to see Michael Potts for sure‼️ such a gorgeous smile he has😊 thank you‼️

There are so many wonderful, good people all over the world. Stephanie and friends, your vlogs are my #1 favorite on KZread. You have made me laugh and feel so much joy.

Hello lovely lalanders ! The scholarship is a brillant idea! Bravo Stéphanie ! Please take care and stay safe ! Bisous from Alsace 😀😘😘😘

OMG! That exquisite dress! And Natty in it; WOW! People are so generous!

I felt the portrait captured your essence. Well done.

I love this channel! Well done to all of you 👏👏👏. Thank you for your positivity, artistry and laughter 💗💗

I can picture it now. Percy discards his radio in a planter somewhere, so then some unsuspecting person walking by hears from within a fern, "'ello? Can anybody 'ear me? Iz someone there? Iz Percy with you?"

So happy that we get to enjoy watching you open the thoughtful gift from friends near and far. I so enjoy escaping into a happy world and retreating from the worries of our Country. It is such a blessing to know that we not only receive joy from your channel, but that through our enjoyment, it also helps others in need. I am glad and privileged in some small way to be part of that love and giving🌸🎄🌸

Such a good idea to fund a scholarship. I’m fully supportive of this great initiative from all the lovely La Landers.xx

I LOVE that yellow scarf with pockets. How creative. And Miss Jesterz - haven't heard that name for years and years

Well done Villioti on setting up that fundraising endeavour for less priviledged students and to you Stephanie for your thoughfulness and creativity🙏Natti looks beautiful in a headband .love that necklace made from the laurel. Wow!!! The masks🥰

Please consider contributing to a charity for veterans with PTSD. As usual, it was so much fun watching you open your gifts 😊

I love the scholarship idea! Great choice!

Nati you look stunning in that dress . Such lovely gifts . I love the roses oil painting . That is a lovely donation to help give a young person a chance .

The scholarship is a wonderful idea. The arts and creative pursuits enrich everyone’s lives.

Well another day you were all spoiled rotten.....Nati that dress was made for you, you look absolutely stunning in it.......love that you are donating that money to the design school in South Africa, that is a wonderful idea.....stay well.......Donna in Toronto

Stephanie you should name the scholarship in honor of your Father!

Natty is truly blooming. So beautiful.

I can't believe how immersed I become while watching CC and CD. I just can't walk away.

Nati you stole the throne! You look amazing! Steph you look great in the yellow dress, you are like ray of sunshine on a winters day! I love your personality! I also enjoy all the members of Le Lande!

It is heart warming to see how many people from all over the world send you all such lovely gifts! One day I pray my hubby and I could come visit!! X

Wow. Nati looks incredible in that 80 dress! Beautiful.

Again, the gifts are so lovely and thoughtful. And the tree--I hope we get more views of the tree before it's dismantled.

Just WOW!! So many beautiful thoughtful gifts. Funding the scholarship is such a fabulous idea. Well done!

As mentioned by others, the scolarship is a brilliant idea, especially if we get updates on this person's achievements and progress ❤

What a splendid idea. Scholarships are the only way some could ever further their education. I would never have have been able to study Music Performance without scholarships. I applied for every scholarship I could find. Writing many essays, speaking to civic groups, academic challenges, etc. Many were for $100 each. I was able to study at a private conservatory in the US. Thank you for your charity in this way. Bless you and all the lovely people I enjoy watching. I never miss any video from The Chateau.

Its so incredibly kind of you to help an artist through a scolarship. Yiu are truely a beautiful person. Luv u Stephanie & all at La Lande

Love all the happiness and laughter with the thoughtful gifts!

Stephanie ,mummy is right about the washing tabs/pods ,a washing machine engineer told me that for a normal wash ,one tab/pod is sufficient.

Great to see the lovely bag made by my close friend Amanda at Beau Belle Creatif (facebook) here in Normandie. Fabulous quality and really suited Stephanie.

The boysenberry started where I am from in California. Mr. Knott berry farm grew them , they became so famous they built a huge theme park Knotts Berry farm Theme Park. Thank you for your show Mary

My sister is a faithful watcher of your vlog and recommended that I watch....now I'm hooked. I wanted to comment that at 23.06 when you are pointing to the "family" on the toile....that may be the American founding fathers with the Declaration of Independence. I hope the New Year brings much happiness and joy to you, your family and the cast of characters at the chateau.

My children had "Miss Jaster's Garden" when they were young. And we borrowed illustrations from it for my first grandson's nursery.

Lets all hope we have a better 2021 but i am going to be watching for years and years to come i really hope you never stop vlogging am just going to love wat hing the changes much love sharon from uk xxxxxx

That yellow shawl with the pockets, you can put your yellow hot water bottle in it!

I have to confess to some discomfort regarding Cadeaux as a regular event but since you started accruing the as revenue for specific charitable donations, all my reservations have vanished. The fact that you have decided on the art scholarship brought tears to my eyes. My daughter studies fine art and has thousands of pounds of debt to deal with. Art is a compulsion for many and this allows it for some lucky person without that millstone. You are amazing! ❤️

I just don't know how Stephanie's vlogs can get any better! A fabulous mix of goodies and Michael's hair looking more 'electric' than ever... maybe you wake just up like that or maybe it takes a jar of hair mud and 60 minutes to get 'just right'.... very Elsa Lanchester! The Fashion Design scholarship will be the dream for some lucky student, a brilliant idea. Getting into a course is not easy but the costs incurred for tools of the trade..pattern cutting, art supplies and computers etc, not to mention fabric along with everything needed to produce your creations seems endless.Thank you Stephanie! 💛🦘

Nattie's dress is PERFECT for Mardi Gras!

I do hope you read "Miss Jaster's Garden" on your vlog as the giver suggests :) Much love to ALL of you at La Lande and all of us La Landers fans!
