The tickle trunk is SO much fun! Sarah, the lavender wand in the trunk will only enhance the sensory appeal of the items inside. It will smell marvelous ✨️! Thank you both SO much for sharing with those of us in video-land.
Hi Steve and Sarah, I am a subscriber and have been for about 1.5 years. I am retired and on a very limited monthly budget. I cannot afford to be a patreon but I can watch your channel as I have been doing all along. I really hope that I will be able to continue as before- I REALLY enjoy your channel and have been a faithful subscriber! Elizabeth in Goodrich, Texas
Absolutely! We don’t want anyone to put themselves under (more) financial constraints! We will still do our free weekly video, and your subscription and likes and comments will be a huge support to us to help us find more viewers. Thank you for your support in all its forms!
Thank you for the art, the creativity and just the all around feeling of joy that you bring. Sarah you are so talented. I have always wanted to make a lavender wand! You have encouraged me to give it a try. Your sachets are so lovely, all these treasures you have sprinkled around the chateau guest rooms and the love notes…how special the recipients will feel. I can imagine the conversations amongst your lovely guests about their finds. The trunks … my goodness how fun! Sarah, Steve needs a Richard the lionhearted costume to go with that sword! Great find!
Steve and Sarah, you certainly DON’T look as though you are money machines! You are so careful what you purchase at brocantes and your renovations are done economically as possible. You haven’t rushed in and stripped everything back. You involve your local local community. l think the idea of Patreon is a great idea. l will only still be a subscriber and l always click the like button. I love how you listen to peoples ideas.😀
Good luck on your pattern account! I always enjoy your videos…. Fun to watch you use the lively lavender items. Wish you had enough lavender to sell them! Thanks for continuing the good work!❤
From the top of your sword you have the pommel that’s joined to the grip or the hilt by the tang then lion heads are on the cross guard which help protect your hand from damage from your opponent’s sword running down the blade. So your ready for foe vanquishing lol
When I was a kid my family always complained about my bits of fabric so I made a huge pillow case from patchwork tweed (old coats) and put a strong zipper and fileld it with my scraps. This way I had a sort of bean bag in my room and perfect storage for my treasures !
Sara, your creativity and beautiful projects inspire me to make some sachets and covered hangers! Hopefully I'll find suitable materials this week at Recyclerie Libournaise and Rauzan Antiquites & Brocantes Village. I'll have to hand-sew them, as I don't have a sewing machine while traveling.
I thank you guys - what a wonderful preparation work you have done for the retreat :D Every little detail executed wonderfully, I can really sense the romance in the upcoming retreat, and how much fun everyone will have. Nice work, well done, tickle trunk from Mr Dressup is warmly remembered 💕
Oh, I wish I was joining this retreat! Really hope I can make it next year! Love your crafts, beautiful! BTW the pommel is the heavy, usually rounded part, at the top of the hilt of the sword that acts as a counterweight!
The lion parts are the cross guard then it’s the grip the tang and the pommel. The tang joins the pommel to the grip generally. Sir Steve thou hast a goodly sword to vanquish the foes of your beloved Lady Sarah
Love the sword!! So jealous of your lavender! It doesn’t grow well here in Savannah! I have tried all of the recommended ways to try to get it to grow and no success. I love the lavender wand! They are $20 at the local Lavender store that gets their lavender from France
I loved seeing the old sewing machine working away. All the projects were great and I hope maybe you’ll do more of these. I especially liked the padded drawer liner.
so you have to follow the Duc d'Aquitaine as his sword, he nevah spoke a word of english, nevah spent as most of his dinasty lot time across the pond! lol
Thanks Sarah for your lovely lavender projects, dress up trunk. Such fab ideas. You & Kirsten made me laugh with all your impromptu acting, lot's of fun for your visitors next week. Enjoy.... Love viewing your channel.
Bonjour Sara, Steve and Kirsten (I hoped I spelled it right) Sara I love all the things you create to make your guests feel special. You are amazing. I also love the Tinker trunk; this event is going to be so much fun. Thanks for today's video, it was so much fun. Love from N,Y,
Fun shopping - great sword, and I’m sure your retreats going into the future. Love the lavender and sewing projects. I didn’t realize that’s how those wands are made. Fun idea with the secret notes. I assume you told your guests not to watch today’s episode. 😉♥️ Love the trunks! I can see you putting more together over time. Luckily, once they’re packed up, they’re easy to store until next time they’re needed.
Hope it goes well for you on Patreon. I love your artwork and hope you will post more of your art. Make eye pillows for yoga too if you can. I think yoga retreats would be amazing at your chateau.
Hiya Lovlies, oh love lavender anything, perhaps a retreat thought in future for the time of year? Mr Dress Up lol. Blessings luv Durham Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
So enjoyable to see you planning for upcoming g events..not to mention how much I love lavender...your friend Kirsten added so much to the planning! Thx all
When I presented my first collection of clothing I covered all the coat hangers like this and I made little padded pouches on a ribbon to hand from them and I sprayed perfume on the pouches to they hanged inside the clothes. I remember using Santa Maria Novella Gardenia perfume.
How fantastic! Finally a patreon option. You really deserve this level of support for all the work you put in to encourage artistic and creative expression
Hey Ho. Last week on The Amazing Race Canada, which airs on CTV, the teams were in Fergus. Library, and studios featured. Mint. Anyhow, best give a penny to your friend who has given you a blade as a gift. Superstition says the bad luck is undone as long as money is exchanged for anything sharp.
@@ManorandMaker Thank you both for everything you do. I've been an avid fan since the very beginning. Both you & Sarah are so creative. People after my own heart.❤ Love you guys.😁
Thankyou sso much for the great video. I love textiles and Sarah you touched my heart today. I am going to become a pattern now as I love what you do. I live in New Zealand and it is a dream to come and see you and others I’m 68 so unless I win lotto I won’t be able to. Maybe I could come and teach a quilting class. It’s what I used to do. Thankyou again xx
Sarah love your projects and creativity. Good luck for your special event.
Thank you so much!
5he lavender bags are so gorgeous and simple too. Then you placed them so perfectly, colours matching the wood etc.
Do you find adding lavender oils to the dried flowers helps, I love the scent of lavender.
I also like adding geranium oil.
Thanks so much 😊
I love the lavender and fabric projects. You are so creative 😊 Thanks for thinking of the bees🐝
I love the bumbles!
loved the video including the Mr Dressup [tickle] trunk...thank you for sharing your chateau adventures
MR. DRESSUP! Ernie Coombs ❤ You could probably hear me yelling all the way to France.😁🇨🇦
Okay I wasn't the only one yelling at the screen as they tried to remember his name.😂
I’m sure I could hear the chorus from here 😂
Mr Dressup’s tickle trunk experience might pair well with a Friendly Giant’s greeting🏰 Love your channel!
Exactly what I was thinking. And when they couldn’t remember I was yelling out ‘MR. DRESSUP’ in our backyard…🤣🤣❤
The tickle trunk is SO much fun! Sarah, the lavender wand in the trunk will only enhance the sensory appeal of the items inside. It will smell marvelous ✨️! Thank you both SO much for sharing with those of us in video-land.
You are very welcome!

I love your intro music! I hear it and know something fun is coming! 🎉
Aww, thanks! We'll let Jeff know you enjoy it!
I was just going to write the same thing. What a lovely tune.
Mr. Dressup!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
You guys are on my list of "things i want to experience" lol I love the various artistic retreats you do.
We’d love to meet you!
I love the Lavender wands...what a great idea to add to the lovely sachets as a nice greeting for your guests! Well done!
Love the black lace mask! You look like a very posh cat woman with or without the glasses ❤
Thanks so much Lisa! I dont get called posh very often!

We also had Chez Helen in Canada for a little french in childhood
I’ll have to look her up!
Love the drawer liners ❤
Looks like creative people are going to have a lot of fun at the chateau!
Fabric scraps are always useful !!! xoxoxoxo
Such wonderful little touches that you have created show so much care and love! :) Mr. DressUp Loved him!
@@lisaakinlabi such a treasured memory! Glad you enjoyed him too Lisa!

Oh wow! I didnt know I could make such a lucrative business of it!
You keep building a home and retreat that is alluring and warmhearted!❤
That's the plan!
I loved seeing the old sewing machine working away. All the projects were great and I hope maybe you’ll do more of these. I especially liked the padded drawer liner.
More to come!
Sarah youre just so cool 🤩😅 I wish I had a sister or mom like you ❤
Love all the fun touches you've put together for your guests to discover!
It’s going to be a magical week!
Forgot to say, nice art exhibit too. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!

Also I’m thankful to have a consistent place to store the props safely! I’ve just been tucking them in corners in my sewing room.
I love the whimsical notes for your guests to find.
The hilt consist of the pommel, which is the round knob at the very bottom then the grip and guard or cross guard or even rain guard.
I knew someone would come through for us! So the lions heads are on the cross-guard?
@@ManorandMaker yes.
Mr. Dressup!!!
Hope it goes well for you on Patreon. I love your artwork and hope you will post more of your art. Make eye pillows for yoga too if you can. I think yoga retreats would be amazing at your chateau.
Thank you! Stephen really is trying to make more time for art. We're both trying to find more time for fitness - yoga would be great!
Love the lavender sachets and the tickle trunk. What a fun idea 💡 ❤❤❤❤❤
MR DRESSUP!!! 🙂
I swear I can hear the chorus of "MR DRESSUP" from here!
Childhood classic!
🤗
Thanks for a great vlog. So much variety. Love it. You did a great job on the trunks.
Thanks so much!
I like the lavender wand, a nice way to tie the end is how horse tails are wrapped for shows, also bridal bouquets it wraps and twists down the stems
Thanks for the tips! I’ll have to look up the horse tail wrap too!
I like your attitude to the continuation of the château.
Thank you Janet! We're just custodians for a while...
A BIG congratulations growing your channel 👏👏 You provide great content❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Mr Dress-up! A Canadian icon for the more mature viewers. "and here's a big chair for 2 more to curl up in."
Love your personal touches, very homey.
Yes! Th friendly giant too!

Sara, you are thriving shining and your smile is beautiful.
How very kind!
I love the wallpaper on your mezzanine! The one below the chair rail.
It's actually a textile border... dating from around 1900 we think.

Oh! I’d never heard that penny superstition before! And go Fergus!
hello, Mr and Mrs! so fun, thank you and I love getting emails from you!
Our pleasure!
Those are great for the Xmas 🌲
You may never have thought you'd say those words but if they are coming out of your mouth I think you've done something right in your life.
Lol - I love that Carole! Thanks!
awesome
Good morning from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Looking forward to what's coming next.
Much love & light.
🙏❤
Good morning!
@@ManorandMaker Thank you both for everything you do. I've been an avid fan since the very beginning. Both you & Sarah are so creative. People after my own heart.❤
Love you guys.😁
Mr Dressup was the Canadian children’s show with Casey and Finnigan.
Mr. Dress Up was the childhood Canadian entertainer who had a tickle trunk of adventures with his puppets Casey and Finnegan :)
Such fond memories!
Thankyou sso much for the great video. I love textiles and Sarah you touched my heart today. I am going to become a pattern now as I love what you do. I live in New Zealand and it is a dream to come and see you and others I’m 68 so unless I win lotto I won’t be able to. Maybe I could come and teach a quilting class. It’s what I used to do. Thankyou again xx
We would love that! We get lots of requests for quilting!
@@ManorandMaker maybe next year. I would love to do that
Sarah, you have to stop, you had too much fun! ;-)
I did!
Oh my you are using the same machine as my mom it's still working fantastically
Extra romantic, I think.
Fabulous
Use the flowers for cooking. I make lavender tea bread with a citrus glaze. Lavender scones and cookies are also very good
I love lavender, but have never really enjoyed it in food. I would have thought lavender-earl grey tea was right up my alley, but….not.😂
Love the tickle trunk. A great idea.
Thank you! 😊
my nephews has costume trunks as kids that they played with for years
Love all the lavender bags
Thank you!
The wands look kinda like fire starters? The sachets and some topiaries for around the house would b nice!🪴
Thank for the ideas.
Thank you, so entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love from Vancouver B.C.
love
MR Dress-up....Ernie Coombs
That’s him!
Ernie Coombs and Mr. Dressup
Yes!
Are you using alcohol inks? Very nice
Stephen really looks the part with that sword in his hand!!
He is really enjoying it!
Mr. Dressup!
C’est correct!
That trunk would be fun to discover
What are you putting on first?
Never knew padded hangers were so easy.
Yup! The key is to start with a wooden hanger if you can find it. It just feels nicer, more solid.
I don’t see Casey and Finagin in the trunk, they must still be in the Mr Dressup museum at CBC Toronto
I love that someone is taking care of them!
Mr Dressup!
I knew we'd have people shouting at the screen for us :)
@@ManorandMaker 🇨🇦🍁
👍
Nice idea. I'm am not a fan of lavender it actually makes me nauseous when I smell it.
Oh no!
The Friendly Giant!!
I thought it was Mr. dress up
@@Caoucaren Could be!
I see the crossover- we loved TFG too!
No residual headaches or concussion ?
If i cant think of a name i go through the alphabet i always seem to have great success that way
I don’t think the man in the tv show used his name? They called him Mr dress- up
It was Mr. DRESSUP
Yes! That's it!
