Stephanie, as I am reading the comments today, I hope you realize what a difference you make in people's lives. I've said it before but it needs repeating. Please continue to just be yourself and to shine. You truly are a ray of sunlight and brighten our world. Thank you. You deserve everything good thing that comes to you. You are a perfect example: if you send out positive vibes, it will come back to you enfold.

We mustn’t settle for boredom and mediocrity in the wonderful gift of life we are given by our Creator and Stephanie is certainly a great encouragement to “Always look on the bright side of Life”🎼🎼🎼 Many blessings for safety and well-being.

You never know? A girl commented on a photo I shared of a 2000 glass snow globe I bought years ago @ salvage. I sent it to her! A good time to share some joy! Love & Light

I was getting teared up watching you opening the plates,I could just see how humbled you are by everyone’s kindness x

Renews my faith in people. As we are going thru so much in the U.S. It can be hard to see the positive. And watching all these vlogs have been so inspiring and a great escape. Seeing how random people just being so generous to someone they dont even know is quite amazing.

That was lovely and inspiring, due to a shortage of face masks and because my daughter is working with relief services for pilots doing Canadian rescue of our patriots stranded around the world, I’ve got out the sewing machine and last night perfected my first fabric mask. It’s double layered printed cotton with interfacing to add a bit more filtration, well fitted to the face so at least she and her workmates will be somewhat protected. It probably has a protector factor of abound 60-75%. Not 100 % but at least something, better than the nothing they have now, or the paper ones that are too loose at the sides to keep stuff out. They are saying only those who are infected should be wearing masks to protect others but really most people don’t know they are passing it on for at least two weeks prior to becoming ill. It helped slow transmission in China and these are reusable, can be washed over and over. Take care of you all, be safe, look after your Mum, she’s the most at risk . 🥰

I'm watching this for the fourth time since it was first posted. Your humility has stood the test of time. You had a great effect on fan in keeping up moral. You have made us feel part of Lalande. Restoring a historical building that will outlive all of us. Thank you Stephanie

Wonderful to see a reminder of people's kindness and generosity in these trying times!

Jerry is in my prayers as well. He is a joy! If he is comfortable with it, please keep us updated on his health.

What wonderful gifts to brighten your quarantine!! People can be so generous.

Stephanie you give us more happiness than you know, and you are very easy to please. Love rewatching your vlogs 💖💖🇦🇺

I love the plates you received. All of the gifts suit you so well but I swear you would find joy in plastic cutlery if someone sent it to you. You are such an optimist and you ooze life and love.

You are a perfect example of law of attraction, all of your positivity and kindness is reflected upon you. Such an inspiration

Stephanie, you are good at manifesting. That is a powerful gift. You attract into your life, the things that you want. As you unwrap your gifts, you keep asking how did this and that person knew what I wanted, especially the Spode plates. That is manifestation.

Stephanie, your blog is like the North Star in this season of despair, disease, and. Death! It’s the highlight of my days, and nights; it sweeps me into an enchanting chateau; far away from the Oklahoma plains.

What blessings of generosity from your lovely fans. It is inspiring to see such kindness in times such as these, and so wonderful to watch your genuine joyous reaction to each special gift.

Use the beautiful paper napkins to decoupage a tray, a vase, candlesticks, lamps, etc.

I am stunned (and delighted!!) at the gorgeous gifts you receive from strangers!! I think it just goes to show you very personable you are in your videos, how lovable your life is, and how much people appreciate and admire your hard work. More than most "presenters," you truly make people feel they are welcome in your home, and as if we are living a little piece of it with you. Thank you! And you know ... it's kind of comforting to know that, whenever I feel my bits of old china are cramping my little house, there is a lovely big place with LOTS of room, where they can go to live and be loved! I think your chateau could be called "Porcelain Heaven," where all the china can go for happiness!!!

Your so special & loved Stephanie!❤️🇨🇦

You know you're a dedicated fan when you sit through 2 full ads for Plus 500 and State of Survival so to raise funds for Chateau de La Lande, it chapel and it's inspiring Chateaulaine 😁

You have a gift for living Stephanie. And you give us all your gift of seeing the joy and beauty in life.

This is the most sincere and very beautiful video of opening gifts from fans or subscribers. Every gift she opened, really gives her pure joy and happiness. Unlike other you tubers who receive gifts from their fans or subscribers, it’s mostly about material things or the brand, meaningless. But this, this is special.❤️

Do you know! The plain cardboard frames around the picture in the picture frame? Use the stencils like the fleur-des-lis on the corners-in gold! 😉 It is a beautiful decoration! I stenciled our whole church. What a beautiful accent!

The apron you tried on is a wrap around apron. It is what mother would wear over her dress while doing housework.

You can decoupage with the lovely napkins.

I'm sure the 2000 subs that Michael's channel has are due to your help and subscribers ❤ The first 2 episodes have been perfect, like you said! I'm grateful he recommended you too!

I believe it is because people see that you are genuine and nice and your enthousiasm for life is communicative ! I for one send parcels all the time to people as a surprise, it sometimes takes me months of research the find the right things, its great fun ! Enjoy, you have made our day a little better.

p.s. Was thinking those paper napkins could make a great decoupage project.

Dear Stephanie, you light up the darkest days. I am so glad you have had some beautiful presents, you certainly deserve them. Your gratitude shines through. Long may you keep on being you. You are loved and I can’t wait until your next vlog. Keep safe 👋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are such a beautiful and kind lady..... you deserve all of the sunshine ☀️ ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ xxxx

I don't skip the ads, as I would normally do, as I've learned it generates revenue for the Chateau so I occupy the time by reading the comments. It's nice to read such positive things during this time. We all appreciate being able to "escape" to La Lande for a portion of the day. ❤️😊

People love you, Stephanie. Your aura is magnetic, you give so much pleasure to hundreds of your supporters, in return, they want to give back to show appreciation. xxx

Wow! This one actually made me cry! The note about you being our lion is true and made the tears start then watching plate after plate! I was thinking even though you don’t yet have 100,000 subscriptions yet, the gifts you get are so incredible that it’s about quality subscribers, not quantity! You have earned the quality subscribers you have! I am also inspired by people you’ve never met being so thoughtful!

'Quarantine just levelled up!!' Really made me laugh!! What beautiful gifts! Stephanie, I hope these gifts help you realise how loved you are, and how much joy you bring to our lives everyday. Xxxx

I enjoy watching you and Michael open gifts and seeing how much gratitude and surprise you have over the perfect choices your viewers have selected. All so very thoughtful and kind just as you are in each Vlog. You invite us into your home and showcase every volunteer as well as family members. We do feel we know you well. Hugs and love to you and your Mommy as you isolate.

I know you have said you are glad you have started the vlog. Well , I can honestly say that I have loved every vlog , the joy and exuberance you give to all of us makes my day and I am always excited to see what you are up to . Thank you for being a ray of sunshine.

STEPHANIE YOU ARE THE MOST GRACIOUS PERSON WHEN YOU GET GIFTS. IT'S SO REFRESHING TO WATCH YOU OPEN GIFTS. I ENJOY ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS. YOU LIVE IN A DREAM WORLD AND YOU SEEM TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE.

Thank you Stephanie for these wonderful uplifting videos. For me, and many others I see, it’s the best channel by far. I look forward to visiting in the future. These are surreal times indeed, Colette x

Wow! Christmas in Quarantine.

You're very vivacious, enthusiastic and enjoyable to watch and listen to. Are you sure you're not a REDHEAD ??? And I mean it in THE BEST WAY !!!!!!!!!

I honestly don't care if Stephanie is wealthy or not; I LOVE that she's so thankful for all her gifts and you actually see her using them and wearing them in her vlogs. That is SO THOUGHTFUL. She seems like a really nice, great person. I"m actually going to send her some art

People want to give to you Stephanie; simply, because you give so much to each of us 💐💛

Paper napkins can be used for decoupage, that might be a way to save and display some of those gorgeous napkins.

I enjoyed this video of you opening your gifts, Please always share them with us. And what beautiful gifts you received. Bless you.

Even from the very early days of gift opening your outfit is perfect for the gifts you received. The colors in the show perfectly accent your jumper and the teacup...

This is really comforting viewing. Thank you :-)

Beautiful and lovely gifts for such a beautiful and lovely lady, that you are. The paper napkins you can use for decoupaging maybe for favorite pieces that don't quite match that you would like to match your blue and white vignettes. Your videos are wonderful and Lelande is delightful. Love seeing all of you. 💕Happy Monday to you

What a thrilling vlog......you are DEFINATELY a spoiled gal and deserve it all....what wonderful surprises.......just found Michaels vlog so will start that in a few minutes..........we’re locked down here in Toronto. A state of emergency........stay well...................Donna in Toronto

You are the sweetest. So glad people appreciate you.

hi! i came here from "doing it ourselves". nice : )

We get to know what you like by watching your videos.

Hi Stephanie, So glad to see that you and Gerry are both back home safe and sound (although with each others luggage!), after such a nightmare of a journey. You deserve all the gifts that you've received, as you bring joy to lots of people around world with your vlogs. This latest one I found to be very moving and emotional, just because of your reactions to each gift. I wasn't crying, I just had something in my eye! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Now more than ever, as we are going through such troubled times, we need the "escape" that both you and now Michael bring us. Plus now that ETTCDIY is back on TV, we are spoiled for all things Chateau!! Looking forward to more vlogs and what you will do with all that tartan...

Hello, Stephanie! I wanted to thank you for sharing your chateau with us. I have been binge-watching your vlogs since I finished binge-watching Escape to the Chateau and Escape to the Chateau: DIY, during which I was introduced to the lovely place you call home, as well as many others. Your vlogs have given me not only something to watch that is not a repeat broadcast on television, but also has given me great joy as I watch you and your helpers continue to transform your chateau. I find the process of bringing these "vieille dames" back to life fascinating. As we all take the time to take care of ourselves and others, I thank you for continuing to share your journey with us, and I look forward to your future vlogs. Best wishes and heartfelt greetings from western Canada!!! Amitiés sincères et bonnes continuations! Doris

What joy in all of those packages....each one filled with more love and caring than the last if possible. Thank you for sharing all of the surprises with us !!!

oh steff a nee the kindness of strangers so humling so beautiful thanyou for sharing. the joy on your face as you opened each gift was truly genuine and you looked like a little girl on Christmas day . And steff a nee you give gifts to strangers . your vlog/diaries are gifts to us and we get as much joy from your vlogs as we share your journeyxxxxxx

I have tears of joy. What happiness your followers have brought you, and in you sharing your happy reaction you've brought that to me! Thank you for helping me escape this wild new reality.

Stephanie I think we may be long lost twins! I have only just started watching the Chateau Diaries and I adore your passion for life and family and history - and all things Bohemian! I am adding Lalande to my Wishlist to visit. J’Adore France! I hope you are well, Au Revoir Philippa

I live in regional Western Australia where the virus hasn’t got to yet. But it’s still disrupting my families life in a big way. I’ve been very sad about it all and your videos lift my spirits so much. Thank you. Watching the ads xx

It is so much fun watching you and your "gang". You are so full of joy ....its contagious.

Oh Stephanie, you are very rich in much more than biscuits, you are abundant in your love of life💖

So fun to share your joy.

I love Spode as well! I would have cried! How wonderful! I’m a little behind in the video viewing. What wonderful, lovely gifts. Thank you for sharing!

Just lovely being able to share your delight in your gifts. All beautiful, and so generous. As you say it makes the situation more bearable.

How lovely every gift was. Obviously chosen with love and much thought. Of course, you truly deserve these gifts as you, Stephanie, give us a treasured gift every time you post a video. Your vlogs are making self-isolation so much easier. I look forward to seeing your beautiful, optimistic face. By the way, I love your idea of having a little basket on a line leading out your window. So lovely of Nick to put in a little something nummy every once in awhile! The way you live is an example to all of us. Be kind to one another and face the world with optimism. Big hugs from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Never having known a chateau owner I would have assumed they were snobs but you're very down to earth and relatable. Nothing at all snobbish about you

But we have met you, Virtually! You are so fortunate. All the best, and take care of your Mom.

I would use the napkins for decoupaged and you can do a beautiful chest of drawers or a chair...actually everything :) Stephanie, you are such a grateful person! You are not only been very happy and excited to open the presents but I’ve seen from your vlogs you actually using them and that’s wonderful 🌸🍀

I love every thing you received.what lovely people x

WOW! Such a wonderful show of generosity this world needs more of. You inspire kindness, generosity, and warmth from others. 😊

Hello dear Stephanie, your packages were delightfil. I laughed when you said you have a toaster with you as I do also. Also a hot plate to warm canned soup, a frying pan to make pancakes, a 2 cup coffee maker for coffee and tea if I don't want to go to the kitchen. So far all 7 of us in this small condominiom are healthy but if any of them get sick I can get by in my room that has a full bathroom. We got a snowy surprise this morning but will get up to 50f the next few days to melt it away. Love to you and all there with you, 🐦🐞☕🌻🌞

Lovely video, I'm glad you're all OK , I really wish Percy was with you all and hope he is doing fine as well! Sending love ❤🌸🌺

You are the most grateful and gracsious lady.

I have been addicted to watching your videos. I discovered you through Michael's video channel. (another keeper!) First off I think you are such a warm, genuine and joy filled person. I would like to meet you someday. We would get along famously. I''m positive of that! I so enjoyed your chronicles of your trip to South Africa. It is amazing. I felt like I was there with you. It is breathtakingly beautiful. I especially enjoyed the camaraderie amongst your friends and family. It really bring immense joy to my heart. Your mother and Percy are adorable too. My dream would be to come visit and help with any projects. I love gardening and the outdoors. I am so thrilled you received such thoughtful personalized gifts from your fans. Your channel is a blessing! God bless you!!

So touching to see people's generosity to you Stephanie! These were not just tokens, but items of value that strangers wanted to gift to you. Truly remarkable. And a tribute to the love there is out there that wants to come out of us. Enjoy all of them. The scarf complements your yellow scarf beautifully! Love the silk(?) that will replace your pink table cover as well. So many thoughtful gifts that seem perfect for you! Very uplifting.

Delightful gifts and delightful reception of them

You are such a joy to listen to and watch Stephanie you deserve all the happiness in the world!

Oh Stephanie I was so happy to see you so happy. So many people love you. I was actually tearing up watching you today. xx

Oh stephanie you are so adored. I really enjoyed your genuine gratitude and delight in your presents. Thank you for sharing the joy. Say hi to mummy for me 🇦🇺

How wonderful. Its so lovely to see people's kindness. Thank you.for expressing it because it is so uplifting to see especially at this time. It's a beautiful.display of hope. It's something we all need. 😄

We are seniors in lockdown here in California and a smaller town outside of LA. Things are not bad here all is quiet. The youth are actually being stupid going on the beach’s in LA. But besides that all is quiet here where we are. Be safe world and stay home as much as you can for another month or so.

Another wonderful Vlog! I was so excited to watch you open your parcels, what lovely generous people. And all the gifts were just right for you, 💗 Your Vlogs are really wonderful escapeism for all of us I'm sure, I felt quite emotional when you opened your parcels, you deserve them all, take care Stephanie, I hope Muummy stays safe too. I loved Michael's Vlog too, and looking forward to the next!.. 💗💗💗xx xx

Oh my goodness, I got so much joy from your joy at receiving thoughs amazing gifts. Thank you for making me smile at the end of what has been a really difficult week. What a lucky lady you are and what generous lovely people there are in the world. I subscribed to workaways a couple of months ago with the hope that I might volunteer at the chateau this summer holiday! So sad that you might not have volunteers this year... apart from the poor chap that turned up in his camper this week, though I can't think of a better place to be stuck at😀 Glad you are all well and still smiling. Keep safe and well. X x

Stephanie you could always decoupage an item, piece of furniture and use your lovely napkins

Stephanie you can decoupage with napkins ( just the top layer) lots of how to on KZread. Such lovely gifts.

This video made me cry, thank you Stephanie. I can't believe the kindness of people, especially appreciated at this current time of isolation. I always look forward to you videos, they are such a treat.
