I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

Happy 39th. Birthday. I don't care what Dan says. Your beautiful spirit has attracted so many wonderful people. Your wonderful family and friends and co-workers are a joy to behold. Never tire in well doing.
I love the genuine energy, relaxed friendship and caring that you and Marie have always had together. So glad she is back at the chateau! Love to Percy and Isabelle and have a wonderful trip to South Africa.
Old Stephanie, just wow, the sewing box. It was so adorable and made with love.
Stephanie, I do hope Percy's health has much improved when you arrive in SA. I also hope that you are able to find time to visit Mmakhotso's dear grandmother to pay your respects in person and convey condolences from all your followers who admired her incredible talent and were deeply saddened by her sudden death. I'm sure it would mean the world to her. 🙏
Happy birthday Stephanie!!! Great seeing Marie you look fantastic 😀
The long needles are for eg: making teddy bears, upholstering when you pull buttons and gather inwards on a chair..
The tweezers are often used to thread a serger or overlock sewing machine. Such a wonderful sewing kit. So thoughtful.
Michaels story and words about the Lake are so moving. Love to your Mum and Percy from Barcelona.
Stephanie’s mummy impressions are the best ❤
Everything you received were so lovingly given. You are definitely loved and appreciated.
Absolutely!
A wonderful vlog , Happy birthday again Stephanie and love to mummy and Percy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely video! Lucky girl Stephanie and well deserved! Great to see Marie too,looking so well and beautiful.
I'm a seamstress and I have sewing box envy. That whole thing is so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail is incredible!!
What lovely gifts from everyone happy birthday 🎉.
The Chateau could use a brightly lit sowing table work area in the Narnia storage space for all the wonderful projects everyone gets up to.
Hi Stephanie (39), I am very pleased to see that you like the little 'tea bible' and I can't wait to see how you are going to celebrate your 40th birthday next year ;-) All the best from The Netherlands!
I’m as excited as you with sewing box ,how wonderfully kind 🌺
The sewing kit is stunning !
Loved the bee presents, the wrapping was so clever.
Happy Birthday, Stephanie, and no worries. You're only as old as you feel. Age is just a number. When you finally turn 40 (it took me 60 years) it will feel like 20. And 80. And 12. And 21. You will still be you and the Earth will continue spinning into Infinity. It's nothing at all. Much love for you and Mummy and Percy from Kentucky, USA.
Well said. I have been 29 for quite a number of years.
Kentucky, my home state also!! I'm staying 40 for quite awhile still. I couldn't go to far back because I have 9gr-children & new one coming soon. And 1 beautiful lil grt- grand daughter!! So I thought 40 could work for maybe another year then I may have to jump to at least 45!! Lol. Stephanie, I hope your birthday was all you could've hoped for!!!
@doveleboeuf6625 don't settle for a day over 42. Aren't you amazed at how much La Lande looks like our bluegrass state? I live near Cumberland Gap, and after Stephanie's walk in the countryside today, it confirmed what I have suspected for some time. It's as beautiful there as it is here. She's a lucky woman, or anyway, she has made her own luck. Quite admirable for such a young woman.
Happiest Birthday..no matter the age!
Happy birthday Stephanie!! 🎉 It’s good to see Marie again. I miss her. ❤
The tweezers is for grabbing fluff and stray thread ends when cleaning the bobbin area on your sewing machine
Happy birthday to a wonderful woman who brings such joy to the world. Thank you thank you thank you. Love your big heart, enthusiasm and great style. Hope Percy is well…
The tweezers are useful when threading an overlocker. I think they would also be helpful in normal machine threading.
That is possibly the most complete sewing kit EVER, I am quite envious. Happy (belated) Birthday!!
Love to Percy xxx
I love the necklace that Phillip gave you.
Happy Birthday, best wishes to your Mom and Percy!
Happiest Birthday once again Stephanie.
WOW! Michael’s jewelry for you is absolutely stunning. His writings are always beautiful and I pray you keep them and out them in a book for all to share in the pleasure of reading them.
The sewing box is gorgeous and the work just beautifully done. I have a box I picked up at a Goodwill a couple yrs ago and now I know what I’ll do with it myself as a sewing box.
The Stu here if your mum is perfectly her, all the fabulous gifts you received are so thoughtful and so generously given.
You’ve brought so much life and joy into so many of our lives. Seeing your pleasure and appreciation makes our hearts happy .
Have a beautiful year and enjoy your time with mummy and dear Percy. Praying he is doing so much better and gaining his strength. Much love to all. ❤❤❤❤❤
Happy birthday! I've used tweezers to pick out the small remnants of threads after undoing a seem.
The very long, straight needles are for tufting upholstery, like a classic Chesterfield sofa. Happy to know we share a birthday, though like others I’m old enough to be your Mom.
as a seamstress myself, i can answer the questions. the long needles are for tufting pillows or headboards etc. .the tweezers are to hlep put thread in a sewing machine needle for those who dont have deft fingers. the wooden handled tool is infact a tracing wheel for using tracing paper and copying a pattern on to fabric you cant pin. i hope thid answers the mysteries of the sewing tools :) happy birthday stephanie!
Yes! I also use tweezers to pull out the fluff or broken thread bits from the crevices of my machine when in the middle of a job (when oiling before starting or after, i take off cover plates and i turn it on it’s side to get below, etc, and take out fluff or debris then as well, but the tweezers reach into little holes when i can’t do that)
We hope that Michel will continue sending poems and stories.They are wonderful! Have a safe trip to South Africa.Hope that Percy will recover soon.❤❤❤
Happy Birthday 🎉and safe travels.
Perhaps you can send a month’s donation to the children of Haiti.
Happy birthday. Those long needles are for soft sculpture. I use them for dolly making.
Steph...now you need a sewing room for your sewing box. It's a work of art and so, so useful!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
As a lover of old tins, I am very excited to see how to dress them up.❤
The necklace and earrings that are like the Northern Lights, we call ,” oil spill .” They are gorgeous.
Michael has the most amazing talent for his poetry and words in general they are always such a treat to listen too, i am going to miss his special talent when cadeau stops. When Stephanie mentioned the cameo and i saw it the tears started to roll. In the 2nd world war my Uncle Douglas was stationed in Italy, when he came home he had items he had brought for the family, one of them being for my mother his sister inlaw, that was a cameo ring which i now own, the cameo stone is an amber/ chestnut tone background with the neutral cream face, but the most exciting thing about the face, that it is all one stone not the face glued onto the actual stone. How i know this is when my husband and i went to Venice we went into a jewellery shop that was on one of the bridges crossing the canal, i was wanting to purchase a cameo broach trying to get one like the ring, when the jeweler saw the ring he went into raptures and wanted to buy it from me right there for a price of my choosing, i of course said no and why did he wanted it, he was the one that told me it was the whole stone all in one not the face as i said glued on, when i told mum you could see the relief on her face that i did not sell it, i now have the cameo broach that my mum brought when she worked in a jewellery shop. I am now at a terrible time in my life where we think of who can we pass our treasures on to and who would appreciate them as a family heirloom, i have know one and hate the thought of what will happen to them.
So many « St Michael » around you Stephanie, you are blessed and so protected! Happy birthday 🎁 beautiful soul! 🌟
So many beautiful and exquisite gifts that are so well deserved Stephanie. Thank you for all the joy and inspiration you give and have given to us. Michael’s beautiful story about Lalande brought me to tears….
YUR MOM IS GREAT==JUST A MOM WITH MOM ATTITUDES==PERCY IS IN ALL OUR PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
washi tape a lot of Crafters use paper crafting, ephemera you use it in stuff like junk journals like the one the woman sent you with the tea-stained pages there are more uses of them both for crafters ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
What a beautiful story from Michael not to mention all the beautiful gifts. He's quite a unique human being. I'm glad you were showered with such beautiful gifts from everyone Stephanie, just goes to show how much happiness you provide and how much you are appreciated.
❤ Happy Birthday and best wishes for the future ❤🦋🐞🐁🐘🦔🦔🐿🦉❤ the jewelry is just gorgeous u will have to meet Michael one day ❤.
What incredible treasures, but more than that, they are symbols of the gratefulness for all your hard work, enthusiasm, and love for life that you share with all of us. Happiest 40 something :) to you, dear Stephanie! Sending much love!
The sewing box is stupendously beautiful. The really long needles are for making toys like teddies, they are needed for threading the eyes on. And the tweezers are for pulling thread through from the machine needle. I use mine for my overlocker as its very fiddly threading that. Happy Birthday Steph. I am a Leo too just celebrated 65th on 31st July. Don’t know how that happened. Xxx🏴
I want a sewing kit like that!
Happy birthday. So sweet of dan to keep you the same age these past 3 years 😅
Decoupage/decalomania is exactly what I was thinking the 'doo-dads' would be useful for...then comes the box!
Happy Birthday Stephanie!!🎉💖
That sewing box!!😍❤
Tweezers are very helpful to pull threads to clean up the material when you finish seam ripping.
Happy Birthday Stephanie you deserve endless joy and happiness xx a little tip about the orchids water them so sparingly I've had a Maroon coloured orchid on my mantel for over two years it bloomed for almost a year then the flowers died I ignored it the leaves stayed green then two weeks ago I just put an egg cup of water in the top and joy of joys it has bloomed again five stunning Maroon flowers I'm so happy xx so remember water sparingly xx ❤️
I am OBSESSED with those toile embellished boxes. If Stephanie the Elder made those and sold them on etsy in various fabrics (damasks, fortuny-esque, etc) I would buy them for pretty much anything lol.
Happy birthday Stephanie 🎂
The long needles are for upholstery when you are adding buttons to the back of a chair or seat cushion….think chesterfield leather chairs! They have to be long and strong to get through all the layers of fabric and wadding.
🎉🎂🎊🎼🎶🎵🎶Happy Belated Birthday ❣️
Happy Birthday. U look so young. What ever u do, continue. Keep smiling 😊😊😊
The long needles can be used for putting buttons through upholstery, such as an upholstered tufted chair back or center of a pillow.
So Glad you had a wonderful birthday ❤
I didn't realize that her birthday is the 18th. My recently late mothers was the 18th. Its nice to have a happy alternative for the day.
This surely must be a richly presented birthday!!
Many Happy Returns!
I am speechless seeing the silk orchid, amazing embroidery, sewing box filled with love and an extraordinary creative work, then Michael's unique stories and beautiful jewellery. Bon voyage to SA and much love to Mummy & Percy. Keeping Percy uplifted in prayer.💗🙏✈🇿🇦
Love your antennae!!!
The fish are to thread the sewing machine needle. Happy birthday blessings. 🎉
The “toile of Pooh”… I can’t get over it. Hysterical.
What beautiful gifts. I'm going to miss hearing Michael's wonderful poems and his letters to you. His words bring such joy and happiness and his gifts are just WOW. 🤗🤗🍾🥂💐
The gifted orchid is styled after the Phalaenopsis family. They're the ones you're most likely to see on sale at the supermarket or builders supply. They're pretty and very forgiving. Mine flower reliably throughout the year.
If they're dying in your care, you're likely fussing too much with them or neglecting them utterly.
They thrive in bright, indirect or morning sun.
I use a 19-31-17 water soluble orchid food about every two weeks, to water mine.
I let the inner pot sit submersed for a couple minutes and return to the "orchid" pot.
I have several Phalaenopsis in west facing windows, but they require more vigilance and nearly full shade.
Michael is such an amazing gentleman. Very kind, sweet, lovely, loving, caring, and generous. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
That really is the perfect sewing box wow lucky you Stephanie
WOW, WOW! Absolutely gorgeous gifts, poems, stories and cards. Wishing you a very happy year ahead, may all your dreams come true. 🙏❤️
Oh my!!! The sewing box is sO beautiful in its whimsical decoration and curious practicality. Nice to hang out with Marie, as well💛💛
Mending duty negotiation 😆🤣😂😘🥰
Michael’s heating and arctic poetry/promotional copy was epic, jewelry so pretty. Marquis’ lips? Fascinating😊
Happy Birthday, Stephanie! 🌻🌼🎉
Happy Birthday! The needles are tufting needles for pillows and upholstery. The tweezers should have a locking ring, to fish waistband strings and elastic through a channel. Great gifts for a wonderful person. Enjoy
Fabulous ! You are loved ! Happy birthday ! 🌹💐🌼🌸🌻🧜♀️💖
Those poems and stories need to be illustrated made into children’s books. They are so wonderful. They could be sold for fundraising for the chapel.
Having just ticked over 60. I believe that the clock now reverses. I look forward to being 55 again.
Lord, everyone is so funny. Keep smiling 🙂 ❤
Happy Birthday to you Stephanie 🎶🎉🥳🎂🎊
So many beautiful gifts! Love it! Enjoy! xx
Happy birthday, what lovely gifts.
Happy birthday Stephanie! 🎂
Stephany, all that you give , returns back to you. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dearest Stephanie, A very Happy Birthday and God bless you with good health, happiness and blessings. I know you will be a wonderful support to your mother and Percy . May God provide you with a worry free trip and heal Percy. Dieu te benisse. Bisous Nancy
Happy birthday!🎉🎉🥳🥳🎉❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😽😽😽😽
Happy Birthday ❤❤❤❤
Happy Birthday, Stephanie!! I'll never forget that birthday video my girls and I were a part of. We wore crowns on our heads. 🎂👑👑👑
Those long needles with a heavy waxed cord or a fishing line can be used to make leis for Hawaiian themed dinners.
Happy Birthday Stephanie!! I didn't think that the way to your heart would be so easy!! Must create a range of Lion-bars with popping candy, just to see your reaction!!
Wonderful Pooh plate!
🎉❤ Happy Birthday!!
I think those are tufting needles ❤ tweezers help pull thread threw machine needle. What I use them for.
Mystic topaz Is the kind of stone you called northern lights. I love this stone very much. Happiest of Birthdays Stephany.
Not a puppy, adopt a rescued dog who would be a grateful and lovely addition to your family. My Sootie is a mostly a Cocker Spaniel from Mexico. She is a delight to have in my home, to walk with, to snuggle with and to help with all those crunchy toast corners and bits of cheese.
🎉 happy birthday, Stephanie happy happy birthday❤
Stephanie's sewing kit is a magical cabinet, beautiful and practical.
