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:

I love glass too.... My father was a Glazier. He cut the glass for stained glass windows, and put them together to build the most glorious windows. He made a 40 ft. tall window for our church, with a dove and rays of sun, etc... It is beautiful. My father made many stained glass windows and traveled over the US and installed them into many churches, cathedrals, businesses, and peoples houses. He once came home from the BLENKO factory and brought my mother 8 BLENKO bottles/vases home. My father also made stained glass lamps.... I have 3 lamps he made, and 1 of the BLENKO bottles. My father passed away 10 years ago, but I miss his, quiet, humble, strength.....
Peacock pearls are also known as Tahitian pearls! They are actual pearls and highly collectible and valuable. They aren’t costume jewelry! Please treasure them. ❤
I would definitely have them appraised before assuming one way or the other.
Thank you for being so thoughtful to send a donation in memory of Ian. I'm sure that his family is most appreciative as well. ❤
So very glad you enjoyed the book! Easton and Lyric were super excited to see it on the channel and hear you read their names. Philip is right, the whole idea for the book came from a doodle of the kids in a very Addam's family style.
I think one of the many reasons so many are drawn to your channel is because the love of art, the love of creativity and the good that you have created by the thoughtful donations to charity. Helping others. In memory of Ian. 🙏🏻Beautiful, thoughtful gifts today. Thank you Stephanie and all the people at LaLande who make this world a better place.
How wonderful would it be to have a peacocktail party this Christmas season where you all could dress up with peacock coloring as your inspiration.
Extraordinarily beautiful gifts, today. Yes, Nati should wear the "not as advertised" pearls. They are so lovely on her and deserve to be seen, not just at Christmas time.
Gerry is so very very lucky to have caught his cancer at an early stage. Bon chance....Gerry.
As someone who never receives gifts the generosity simply overwhelms me. The very kind people who bless you all have a special place in heaven. I am also so very happy the deserving charities are also receiving much needed funds to do the wonderful work they do. Blessings all around.
Hello Lisa,
I would love to send you a gift! I have a vintage/antique/handcrafted shop in a teenie town of 90 people in the Sacramento River Delta. Please let me know what kind of things you like! Sincerely, Ginny
When my son was 4, someone asked me what I got for Christmas. My son piped up with "Moms don't get presents" because he had never seen me get one at home. (divorced shortly thereafter). My heart went out to you when I read your comment. I am also overwhelmed by the generosity of those sending such wonderful gifts.
@@jiggyfun807 AAAwww you are so very sweet - this is very kind of you and appreciated! 🥰
@@virginiagiles1796 AAAwww Ginny the thought alone is all I need. I just like knowing there are good people out there! You made me smile! 🥰
@@marychrishannon7048 Mary I know this all too well. Huge hugs to you! I get my gratitude from knowing kind people still exist. 🤗
That's wonderful to give to cancer research. My husband has been fighting brain, lung, and lymph node cancer. It's been a rough road but we have faith in our God above. Thanks for your videos' they sure do help.
The Peacock necklace is stunning on Nattie! The first one especially was jsut right for Nattie! The clors I think may well go with colors she may wear as I wear, the Blues, Greens and Teal, often and the beads soom to have those colors in them! Think for some reason the coloring is right Stephanie the ring you had one went perfectly with the Peacock purse! They wer all so lovely I could almost cry. That sounds odd, but they were such equiite gifts. The countess certainly lovely gifts and the seeds sound like they will do so great in the gardens. The scarf (Peacock) was truly out of this world beautiful!
Ever single gift was so lovely! The charities are such wonderful choices. Micheal is a great shopper. The Murano glass beads do catch the color in Stephanie's eyes, an the scarf aswell. Very nice !
The chateau definitely needs a beautiful display cabinet in the new salon for all the precious gifts sent to keep them safe.
The generous gifts unwrapped each week show us how many precious and beautiful treasures have been crafted and brought into this world for all to enjoy and now will reside in an elegant French chateau, safe, secure and carefully preserved to delight each generation that follows.
I just noticed the cushions with both of you on them, i love them
Cancer touches so many of our lives , so it is important to keep awareness on surface , women , men , check up ! Thank you Chateau Unwrapped !
Gloria has given the best gifts. Wow! Magnificent!
The blue Higgins bowl is STUNNING!
I thrifted a Higgins piece, not knowing what it was, now I do. Love it!
Stephanie & Philip, you might think of getting your beautiful gifts insured...the Higgins Glass items are worth alot of money!
Oooh Floret seeds!!! I grow cut flowers and Floret is THE go-to boutique specialty shop that is trendy here in the US. Her books, website, and educational resources are very inspirational.
I always think beautiful studio glass looks best in windows (that aren't often opened) when you don't have them out on tables, as the light plays beautifully with glass and translucency and glass looks lovely with any plant of flower one may have in a window, the nature outside etc, and is complimented by soft drapes.
Pearls from actual oysters that size on a christmas tree, really? That's one previois tree. I'd use them with a thin turtleneck jumper, they look great on Nattie!
That peacock shawl also looked stunning on the sofa in the video! Alot of very thoughtful gifts, beautiful and unique.
Lovely contribuions to charities too. And being a bit light deprived atm the bright sunshine through the windows is such a cheerful sight! 😍☀️❤️
Wow. What a stunning, fabulous, gorgeous and delightful box full to the brim of things peacock! 🦚🦚🦚
And, guess what? I have that peacock shawl as well, draped over my little anitque wooden drying rack in the bedroom! Mine has a soft pink backgound, and every time I look at it, which is every day 😆, I think of you, Stephanie. 🥰 The lovely delicate bead trim can be fragile, just as a wee word of precaution.
Such special and breathtaking presents all 'round, as always! I delight in just watching you all open them. 😍
Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand 🤗
Our precious Ian! Such a beautiful soul! He loved working at LaLande. You could always tell from the smile on his face when you walked into the room and talked of his work. He just beamed. He knew he was loved and appreciated! I think of his girlfriend often and hope she is doing well. Gone but never forgotten. He will live on in your vlogs! Especially every time we see the coving and the tower and the beams in the entry way. RIP Ian! 💙🥰🙏🏻
Those necklaces are so great against Nati's pretty blouse.
You can have a package marathon to finish opening any packages that are left before Christmas.
Stephanie Glad The Charity Money Is Going To Cancer,
Beautiful Gifts To Night. Xx 😘
J.Peterman is here in my City Lexington Ky
He was also portrayed as himself on " Seinfeld" Elaine's boss.
Very nice bag
Ha ha - I thought I recognized the name but I couldn’t place it! Elaine working there was a riot! Fun memory.
It was an actor (John Hurley) who portrayed J. Peterman on Seinfeld, but yes he was portraying an actual person, John Peterman, who is the owner of the J. Peterman company ... haha, confusing ☺
LaLande has become a cache of beautiful items. Love all the good you are doing, changing lives and saving history.
I too wondered when the world got color as all the pics I saw that were old where black and white!
I wish you had a 1920s 1930s room with lots of your art nouveau and Morris and Co designs. Even the yellow Egyptian chairs could live there.😘😘😘
Maybe one day they can have fun transforming an attic room in that theme?
Thank you for the good news about Gerry. I'm really, really pleased.
Amazingly, beautiful , generous gifts …… I have fallen in love with the Higgins vase , so beautiful, I want to cuddle it …..I would love to see it filled with flowers . The rest of my night will be spent googling Higgins , maybe stubble upon the exact same vase . Thank you for sharing and inspiring Xxx
The Higgins Art Glass piece is SPECTACULAR!!!!
Floret seeds are lovely and hard to get because they are so popular and often sell out😊
Those purple pink pearls look great on Nati
Stocks flowers dry beautifully. How lovely they will be at La Lande after the season.
The scarfs are amazing. The turquoise one would be beautiful for nNaty with her black hair 😍
The Higgins bowl looks like it picks up the blue of the coats and dress in your father's painting behind you. It may look fantastic on that table.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Thank you Philip for showing us where the steam was coming from . I'm guessing very very hot tea.
What generous gifts again!! So beautiful and thoughtful. Everyone who sends such incredible gifts are so amazing!! 🦚💚💙
Gloria you wrote a beautiful letter. So heart warming.
Yes Peacock pearls are beautiful on Nati . Love all the lovely gifts. Thank you 🙏.
I love you all so very much. You are so awesome. You have been so very helpful during the pandemic. Thank you for your videos.
Beautiful gifts! People should watch for holiday shopping ideas! There is Oprah's gifts and then there are Chateau gifts!
Once again the generosity is fabulous. So many beautiful gifts. Love the Higgins bowl and all the beautiful gifts. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Turquious scarves is gorgeous
Love love love all the peacock glass and vase !! What fun!!
Once you add white paneling to the room that now has mostly peacock wallpaper and just have the wallpaper in frames, you can decorate with some of your peacock things. That shawl would be wonderful in a frame for more color in the room and high shelves for precious items. 😘😘😘
Stephanie you are a credit to your parents and Percey.
You are truly a beautiful soul.
The blue peacock bowl picks up the exact blue in your Father’s painting behind you!
I am rewatching as I was late to the live presentation. Loved the charity list update and miss Ian H. Watch the ads for charity. ❤️
I think the advertisers would/should think… i am currently “watching “ a 40 minute ad! I am not even sure this chateau vid is that long! I “watch “ them all on all my channels! It is the least I could do! I love that these proceeds are donated. A clever solution to the generosity of viewers! 🦩🏳️🌈🌻🇺🇦
These peacock Pearl's are known as coindot even more special. Since they resemble small coins.
I laughed when Stephanie said that she used to think the past was in black and white. I definitely used to think as a kid that the world used to be black and white. In fact I remember watching The wizard of Oz as a very small child and thought that the part when the black and white turned to colour was when the world became coloured 😅. I must have been a mixed up kid 😊. My favourite films were always in black and white though.
I have peacock colored pearls!! They're very pretty.
Amazing glass and necklaces and everything else, your blessed.
Stunning gifts. Gorgeous colours to brighten up your winter days ahead.
So touching that you sent a donation on behalf of eon
That vase could almost pass for a Clarice Cliff piece. It's gorgeous. Not to mention the Higgins blue bowl. It's stunning. I love your gifts today.
I must comment on one specific gift from this week. The 70's Bernardaud vase is so pretty. It's so different from their other pieces I've previously seen. It's very cheerful.🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸
Yes, it’s so beautiful! I can imagine a floral arrangement with peacock feathers in it! ❤
I love glass and live only a 2-1/2 hours drive from Higgins Glass gallery!! Definitely going on a field trip! Glad that so many charities are benefiting from the add revenue. Thanks to all the Lalanders !
Absolutely love the peacock scarf. It actually looks great on your couch. 🦋
Greetings and LOVE to ALL of YOU at CHATEAU DE LA LANDE! Appreciation and Gratitude for your channels! Thank you from Northern CA USA
Nathi, you look so beautiful.
Château hero Scotsman. Evil doers beware were ever you are. ❤️ from Vegas
Somehow I missed that there was a Philip pillow!
The vase looks great in the library!
The porcelain pieces are lovely. The handmade studio glass a wondrous joy. I hope there will be space to display it in the Grand Salon.
Seeing Nattie in the layered beads, there is a young and beautiful version of Helena Rubenstien. (who was , to be fair, not as beautiful) A ball to celebrate great women seems fitting. When is Internatiknal Womens Day?
Such stunning gifts again Jist love the glassware and the ceramics I couldn’t
Choose a favourite thank you for sharing
The beautiful aquamarine shawl would look very nice on mummy.
What fabulous peacock glass! I love all things glass too. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts from loved others with us all! Blessings and love, from a beautiful sunny, Autumnal Devon, England. xxx
Stunning glass piece..lucky you, Stephanie 🎉
Such lovely things! Nattie looks very Chanel in all the pearls.
Wonderful donation choices! And beautiful gifts beyond words! The Bernardaud vase (Who would have ever thought that was B?) and casserole, the Higgins bowl are all amazing!
The beauty was almost overwhelming, colors, colors, colors. What wonderful gifts, for a very worthy cause.
Stunning gifts once again and it was lovely to hear about the charity's too ,it's a delightful video once again Lalande x💕🌼🌼🤗
The Higgins peacock glass bowl goes perfectly with the painting by your father behind you . I would display it under it.
Wonderful themes and colors for a peacock day. Can't wait for the Grand Salon to be finished and the China room to be started. You will have such a display in both rooms of beautiful things.
I love the pearls on Natty🌷
The peacock scarf would be a pretty table runner
Love the peacock things!!
No ad ever came up. Beautiful items
What beautiful gifts. The bowl and vase are stunning as is everything else. Apricot Stocks are one of my favourites ❤
Thanks for the update on Charities and remembering Ian, that’s lovely. Looking forward to the update from the young lady in South Africa (sorry forgot her name) and seeing her designs ❤
I always get excited when I hear that the gift is from Michael, lol. Such amazing objects. 🧡
Me too. He is the best gift giver ever
Such beautiful gifts, and you all deserve everyone of them. Thank you for sharing this special time with us. 💕🇦🇺
The cushions on the sofa are beautiful, the faces. Please excuse if I'm behind and their origin already explained. Such lovely colours. X
The incredible portraits of Philip and me were made by Wendy Grimwood - she’s extremely talented and also send us the cushions!
I believe Floret Farms have a show on the Magnolia TV network in the US
The J. Peterson Co. In Ky, very famous for they're leathers and their long horse riding coats!!.
Perhaps the packing peas are compostable, ask Kirsty! 🤔😁
Such lovely gifts with lovely words
Beautiful. Colourful. In furniture's store everything is black gray cream. The world is losing colour.
Beautiful gifts from amazingly generous and kind people. Wonderful to see you paying it forward for such worthy causes. 🙏🏻❤️
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I am annoyed that there wasn’t any adverts today, I thought RUclips always put adverts on every chance they got, what’s going on? 🤔. This is the only channel that I watch them obviously for charity & I couldn’t help out 😞. Xxx❤️🇬🇧
Wow! The color of that scarf really brings out the color of your eyes Stephanie! So stunning!
I can’t believe it’s graduation time and the charity work The gifts were gorgeous
Magnificent gifts. I enjoyed. Love to all ❤
Seeing all the lovely gift sent always make my Monday happy
I love the bright colour mixture in the midst of the green coloured room.
Little presents!!😂😂❤
What a collection of lovely gifts! The blue peacock patterned Higgins bowl is simply stunning. So is the wonderful serving dish sent by Michael! And peacock beads? So exotic!
Best is the news of all the charities that benefit from the ad revenue. So so kind and generous Stephanie. Have a most lovely month albeit the absence of your mum, Percy and others. December will soon be on your doorstep with Christmas cheer!
Such beautiful gifts and that Peacock Bowl! I am fainting over it! Maybe you could fill it with pot pourri? That has gone out of fashion these days, diffusers being more effective as s scent source in the house, but I am going back to pot pourri just for the lovely look of it.
Thank you for the video!
I was so excited when I saw the Peacock shawl in this vlog. I purchased one in Bruges on our 2017 trip to Europe. I love mine so much and have wonderful memories of that time. Your vlogs are a wonderful peek into your life in France and your beautiful Chateau. From a fan down under in Queensland, Australia.
I have seen flamingo hats, the body of the bird is on your head with the head bobbing about..it would be great to have peacock hats for La Landed!!
