Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.
I binge watched your channel this weekend! :) Loving the content so far! You guys are great.
I also liked the little intros you had on your videos! It was nice a touch & helpful to understand what would be featured.
Those beautiful pink flowers smell wonderful! Next time smell them! Here in Alabama, we call them Mimosa trees. My Granny had a yard full of them, and as a child I loved to pick tiny bouquets. They tickle your nose! Also I remembered that in one of Stephanie's videos' she mentioned that she had never smelled a Magnolia flower. This made me so sad! The next time she is visiting during blooming season please share your tree with her! I think you will love the sweet lemon scent! The petal feel like velvet, but sadly turn brown when you touch them. Another childhood memory from the South! I am enjoying your journey! Thanks for sharing it with the world!
We call those mimosa trees in Oklahoma. We used to have quite a few of them I don't see so many around anymore. But our state tree is a redbud which has beautiful hot pink blooms on it. Love your videos much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
They all over Mississippi
We've got them here in Georgia and Tennessee 🙂
They are in Illinois, also
They will developed seed pods later. Propagate easily but are the hard to control.
Alabama and Florida as well 😘 never realized they grew in so many different climates 🤔
Yes! In Texas it is called a Mimosa tree. There is a plethora of them in North Texas!
Love the idea of suspended art from the ceiling.
It is a Mimosa and seeds everywhere. It is a weed tree just as Sycamores are. It is beautiful and I love the tiny leaves but it is designated a nuisance tree in Florida.
That was lovely folks! I wish you success on the weekend and look forward to your next video.
The tree is amazing! Can't wait to see all the brocante!
So nice to have an exposition at the château! The château is transforming little by little and coming alive.
It may have been mentioned already but please store those table leaves laying flat somewhere. If your lean them against anything they will warp no matter how long they are kept that way. It is an absolutely STUNNING TABLE-LOVELY, what a fortunate ‘gift’ left behind!
Good morning Steve & Sara, the Chateau is looking so lovely, all the hard work showing. I am sure your venue will turn out very well, all the preparation work is running so smoothly and I really love your ideas and suggestions to show the art work. Yes, I think the Artist will have his own ideas, but I am sure he will not turn your suggestions away. So looking forward to a lovely video coming up showing and sharing with us your grand event. So much to manage yet so much to looking forward. Wishing you all the very best, kind regards.
How exciting!!!!
You guys have been working so hard and it is all looking lovely!
Wow what an beautiful dinning table, those foot claws are so elegant, plus the mechanism adds another dimension 😍
Absolutely beautiful table
Such a festive atmosphere at the town markets🥰 Very exciting to be the centre of the,Fete activities. The outdoor furniture looks lovely. Well done Steve. I like the way you communicate with each. Its lovely to see .
Wonderful vlog 😊☀️🌻.
I love this channel and watching your adventures and your progress at your stunning Château.
Love and peace. 🇬🇧🙏👍🏻😊
Thank you for your ongoing support Sarah!
I love your patio set. Not too modern and looks comfortable. How fun to host an exhibition in your chateau! I can’t wait to see how it goes. And the town with the balloons on ropes/string in the square looked magical! At first I thought it was umbrellas, which is another cute way of decorating a street or town square, but I was fooled. 😉
Good luck this weekend!! 👍🏻🙏
Good luck with your first event! The Chateau and grounds are looking beautiful: hosting is such a great way to meet the locals. 🏰 🖼 🎨🎪 🇨🇦.
Yes - we had a meeting with the town council about using the grounds, and some local friends are doing a lot of the advertising connections for us.
So great to see you working with the locals. I hope the clean up after was not too horrible.
The balloons, lovely and festive in the village.
So Wonderful Life is Back!
Great job! Good luck with the fete and the exhibition! 👍 Looks like fun! 😀
Bonjour Steve and Sarah ooohlalaaa how fabulous an exposition at the Chateau the whole weekend full of art lovely food the community gathering sitting on your lovely outdoor furniture enjoying the atmosphere 😍👌The tents carnival trucks memories when the festival came to our town artists bringing their talents and magic I look forward to joining you both on this splendid weekend Merci beaucoup Abiento my loves❤️❤️😍😍😘😘👌👌🌟🌟
Hello fellow Canadians in Europe. I grew up in NJ and we had that beautiful tree, a Mimosa, in our yard which I loved to climb. In the centre of Madrid, there's a street with rows of Mimosa's, at night the gentle fragrance of the fluffy flowers is intoxicating.
I hope y’all will put out a vlog of your event! Is sounds amazing 🤩
What a cliffhanger! Now I really can’t wait for the next vlog to watch the fete and exposition!
Those trees are called Mimosas in Maryland too. We had one in our back yard. My favorite climbing tree as a kid. Nice fragrance when in bloom, too.
What a lovely tree and market, hope your event goes brilliantly, grounds wonderful and set out lovely good luck with everything x💕🌼🌼🤗
May your fete be splendid!
Love your videos keep up the great job and please film the weekend event at your chateau.
Of course!
In the South, we call those mimosa trees. They are fragrant, but have a definite down side. They drip nectar and we knew never to park our cars under them or within hours the car would be covered in sticky sap. They make big seed pods and they are considered weed trees. They are truly beautiful, just don't put them where the sap will be a problem. You can touch the leaves and they will fold up.
I'm still in Awe how wonderful Steve was was able to achieve the title for Stephanie. Much applause & gratitude for your kindness and creativity. Hugs from Ohio
I love your vlogs as both Sara & yourself show & explain the history of the chateau & the areas. Good luck as you move forward with your new venue.
It will be an amazing event! Love the new garden furniture. 🥰🥰🏰🏰💖
I love both your ambition in participating in these events, and your cool calm approach to preparation - I would be a whirling dervish, spazzing about what was forgotten or overlooked... Bonne chance!
I wish my extendable table was quite so fancy! Mine just has dowel pins & holes and you just have to get a person on each end of it and shove it together hoping nothing breaks hahahaha. It was my grandparents from when they were married in the 50's. Hope the exhibition goes (or went) well!
We even have mimosa trees in our cold climate of MN. Lovely messy things. Fun video. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your tables opening and closing! I enjoy your presentations.
adore those cutting boards! Nice to see you prepare for the Expo, have a great exhibition! look forward to seeing the video with all of the work hung and people buzzing around. Profitez bien de la journée!
How fantastic that you are already having art exhibits. Good on you!
Sarah you look stunning in that dress, love the colours.🙏🇨🇦❤️
Great to see you getting involved with village events - well done . Can't wait to see the vlog
The Table Is Beautifully You Got A lot Of Rooms For People 💕
Those beautiful Silk trees can be deadly to Asthmatics, so take care around them! I hope your event goes well, you put so much work into it xx
“Silk tree” is just a common name, probably because of the thin silky petals of the flowers. There is no category of plants or trees which are considered “silk” plants or which produce silk, because silk is a protein fiber made by insects (the one we use for fabric is cultivated and comes from the caterpillars of silk moths, or “silkworms”). This tree is called silk in the way that the stringy bits under the cornhusks are called “corn silk”. But in the US, we often call this tree a Mimosa, because it was once thought to be a species in the Mimosa genus (it’s not, and neither are the Acacia trees that are also commonly called Mimosa, and of course lots of actual Mimosa species are called Mimosa, so it’s all kind of silly and confusing and you can see how they are all very aesthetically similar, even though they are apparently quite different plants in the same large family).
Hi guys. Love watching your channel. The dining table is gorgeous. Oh and I think what you actually called cutting boards are cheese boards. They are a very rustic trendy thing to use for cheese/antipasto platters. 😁💜
I’ve seen a tree like that while in Cuba! Love these markets! Thanks for sharing!
Love watching your vlog every time 😀so charming 🥰🇬🇧🇺🇸love from Warsaw ,Indiana USA
How fun an art exhibit!
How very exciting!
If you are hanging art from the balustrade, you can hang 2 back to back, especially if they are the same size. Art coming and going.
We call those fuzzy pink flower trees, "Mimosas," in the arid areas of the U.S. They are very hardy for the area and don't need a lot of water. They also grow in the southeastern areas of the U.S. where they are very invasive.
Looking forward to your next video.
How exciting. Love your vlogs and good luck with your event. Love that table 😱
Glad to visit your vlog! Found you watching Chateau Diaries! Beautiful!!🥰
That table is gorgeous and I love that you walk around your home barefoot.
This is so exciting! Hosting a Fete!! Can't wait to see how it went!🥰💕
Yes we call them a mimosa in Connecticut as well and my grandfather had a gorgeous one!
Mimosa trees are so pretty and smell wonderful, but messy as all get out. What a fun event you will have! Love the table! How special! I believe I will take out my two leaves, as well, for a different look. I was thinking about it and then watched your vlog. You talked me into it. 😁
I enjoyed watching you prepare for the art exhibition. I enjoyed the visit to Perigueux. Love from Vermont
In California we know these as Silk Trees. A bit messy, but very pretty.
Looks like an exciting weekend coming! I’m sure your guests will have a wonderful time😊Wish I could be there 😊
adding to the tree idenitification list ! I have always understood them to originate in Japan. We Virginians and North Carolinians refer to them as Mimosa trees....
Really enjoy your channel. Please keep it up, you're doing a wonderful job.
Mimosa trees are all over South Carolina. They are pretty. We also have loads of crepe myrtle trees. They’re all in bloom right now. We have large white ones and pink/purple ones.
Wishing you guys big success for your art expo. May it be the first of many.
They're called mimosa trees in the US. I think they're beautiful specimen trees, but not so nice in stands, and they're invasive in the mid-Atlantic and southern US. They seed prolifically and are hard to get rid of, so they have become a real nuisance in my neighborhood.
I am so excited about the Exposition for you!
You are lovely people, your vlogs are so enjoyable because of you 👍🌹
All the very best for your event hope all goes well xx
Very pretty tree. All the best with your event. I’m sure it’ll be terrific ❤️
I can’t imagine how heavy that dining room table must be! 💗
Great blog..just getting into it and then it finished,excited for the next installment!
Yes ..... I wanted more 😅
The Persian Silk tree grows wild in Tennessee where I live. Locally we call them Mimosa Trees, as they are in the Mimosaceae family.
Your chateau is perfect for an art exhibition especially with the mezzanine. How exciting to be part of this festival. Nice of you to share your land and share your park. The outdoor furniture is just what was needed for temporary seating outdoors and it's attractive. Your dining room table is beautiful! What a great leave mechanism. In our manor house our table had 4 huge leaves and what a pain to remove they were. Luckily we had a formal breakfast/morning room for small intimate dinners. Enjoyed. Cannot wait to see footage of this event, Have a wonderful time.
So exciting for you to host such a great event - hope all goes to plan and you thoroughly enjoy each moment. What a great way to become a participating member of the community and to meet new friends. 😊
Its called a Mimosa in Kentucky as well. Good luck with your Expo!
Amazing table! How exciting, looking forward to seeing the next vlog. Those colorful balloons were amazing!!!
Your dining table is beautiful! The crank mechanism is cool! Love hearing the cathedral bells!
We had a silk tree on the farm My late Dad love them was good looking at the markets and what you to are doing
You're very generous. 💜💜💜
Good luck with the Fet I hope it’s a huge success
How nice that you are opening up your home to host this event. Can't wait to see it. I vote for the dining table to be put at the end facing the window. Hide a couple of the chairs . I have seen in other smaller galleries a discreet yet obvious black arrow pointin in the direction to follow to facilitate an orderly flow for the viewing public. this is also a subtle form of security. Oh and I loved the balloons and their shadow. Thanks again for sharing your time. from a fellow canadian who is so anxious to get back to travelling. Salut de Sylvia
We have two varieties of mimosas in Washington state. The pink mimosas you showed and a chocolate. Both lovely. We had a hard freeze this winter and they both made it. Zone 8b
Mimosa Tree- touch the leaves and they curl closed. My most favorite tree. Prolific here in Southeast USA.
Beautiful charcuterie boards 🥂 incredible blooms on the tree..Charming little market...❤️
Gorgeous table...
Ohhh...love your videos!
You could sew some little velvet ropes for doors that aren't for the events. :)
Preping. Thumbnail spelling. Love your channel!
How exciting to have your first expo. Wishing you much success 😍😘
Wow! So much excitement! How fun! (Having a place to park your bones for a minute is a thoughtful idea!). And those colorful orbs hanging in the avenue are wonderful! So festive! Enjoy your event! Looking forward to that future content!
Love that table! I am happy going to the flea markets in France! Those trees are not mimosas! At !east ?one the ones on the French Riviera. Cannot wait to see how the Fete turns out. Love your artwork Steve. Are you mainly a Plein Aire painter?
Hiya Lovlies really enjoyed watching, oh can you perhaps plant that fun tree at yours? Good luck with hosting your first event what a great way to welcome everyone in the area to your fabulous home. Blessings luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝🇨🇦
Wow! I hope the expo goes well.
I have a pink one in my garden ! Beautiful tree
In the us we call these trees Mimosas.
I love that!
I wish my table had that mechanism😃 . Every holiday it takes my sister, me and some elbow grease to get my table apart to add leaves.
We call the tree a nuisance in Florida because they are annoying to get rid of. I wish all tables with leafs had cranks because every time I try to move mine around it pulls apart easily. The cranks would keep them tight.
Mimosa tree!!! Love those!
In the southern states of the USA, that is called a mimosa tree.
I love them!! I have them all in between the oaks!
We also have it in St. George, Utah--a high desert climate. Aldo, quite common in Missouri.
We have mimosa trees in Philadelphia, too, so not just a southern tree.
We have them here in central Alabama I remember them in Florida. They are so pretty but rather messy. Don’t park your car under one 😂 they “cry”. The amazing thing about them is watching the leaves fold up at night.
Good luck for your upcoming exposition Steve and Sarah! At about 12:11 on the video when you were musing about the pictures hanging from the mezzanine Steve, my focus was on the beautiful lounge suite below. I really loved the style and the fabric colour when you got the set and still admire it even more when I see it again. Your extendable table is exquisite and I have a (smaller) table with the same crank handle mechanism to extend it too. The walks around the villages are always enjoyable thanks to your commentary Sarah, so hopefully we will see all the ‘happenings’ on your next video? 🖼🥰
Thank you for the video!
