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:

Phillip, the two little button jewels with the chains and bars dangling from them are tie tacks! Separate the back from the front, poke the front piece through both layers of the tie, even with a button hole behind it. Slip the little bar through the button hole and attach the back on the tie tack. It work like a tie clip to hold the tie in place.
Exactly - well explained!
Perfect explanation, they keep your tie from swinging all over!
I was going to say the same thing ….tie tacks…Wanda explained it beautifully
@@CynthiaBerry713 Or blowing in the wind!🌹
Very nice description. I've helped my brothers and my Dad with theirs...back in the day. 😊
I just love “Efficiency” 😂
"The efficiency" has entered our household lexicon now. Thank you Antoin.
Stephanie, I was so worried you did not receive my box. Am so happy that you did. Am sorry that I confused you with my nick name. It is pronounced Peggy. It is Gaelic. The enamel dish that my father made has his initials and dated on the back. FS (Frank Scott) I course I thought this Christmas Chateau CADEAUX was the best so far. lol Have a Happy Christmas.
But please, Peigie, tell us how to pronounce your name!
That's what I thought. My granddaughter's other grandma is Peggy, spelled this way only because we are in U.S. & no one would be getting an explanation on pronunciation Every Time! 🌹💕
I thought that was how to pronounce the name. All so sweet of you.
I had an auntie Peggy, I was born in kirkcaldy fife Scotland. So I thought it may be from the homeland. Lovely gifts, your fathers gift was my fave such a personal treasure to share. Blessings Luv Ontario Canada 🐝
Peig is the Irish for Peggy...it's an old name...but I have never seen it with an "ie" tacked on to the end...
Stephanie your new necklace picks up every color of your father's painting in back of you....Its beautiful !!!
She looks so good in that sweater. Love the color on her.
I love needle point so much! I embroider and cross stitch since childhood and 2 years ago I started my biggest project ever, not that big lol, guess what? its hedgehogs !!! ill send pics when i finish
Lovely gifts!
Love the ease and rapport between Stephanie and Philip now that they have nothing to hide. It was actually very nice just having three of you, all such good friends. The way you all bounce off each other is so fun and inviting.
The paintings and gifts from Alison are just amazing!! So talented!! X
A great show and wonderful gift items.
Holiday greetings from New York to everyone at la lande , love watch your videos so much fun..
Merry Advent👍🎄So many beautiful gifts
It’s cool to see someone from my state (Oregon) sending stuff your way.
Thank you for another epic present opening ceremony!
With so many Xmas vlogs around the same time each morning it is hard to keep up but how wonderful for we viewers!👏❤️
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JEWELLERY ~ NATIE THAT BRACELET IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ON YOU AND STEPHANIE'S NECKLACE PICKS UP THE COLOURS IN THAT MAGNIFICENT PAINTING BEHIND HER ! ! !
Love you all. Have a great holiday season.
Yes, get a dog. 🐶🐾 I suggest a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Cavaliers are one of the best pups ever! They are small, sweet tempered and good at adapting to whatever lifestyle you enjoy. They’re great lapdogs too. ❤️🐶🐾
The winter salon is perfect for gift opening. Wonderful gifts. Blessings.
I really love ❤️ the stunning winter salon with all its warmth
How wonderful to open gifts by the fire!🎄🎄❤💚🦔
Your the best to watch. I love you all. You feel like family.
I'm watching your Video before work in bed while drinking an Earl Grey out of my Tea-Adventcalender in which was written today 'Just another day of spreading life, love and laughter'. A great start for a day full of meetings ☺️
I wonder if someone at the calender company watches your videos 😅
How festive & cozy😊💕
Wonderful times. 🎄
We used to like squirrels but their numbers increased to the point of becoming destructive pests. They chew on our shingles, wood beams roof on patio, porch railings, etc. They most recently chewed through the gas line and brake line on my husband’s pickup truck; also chewed top of the fuel pump. Little buggers aren’t so cute now; especially after receiving a repair bill for over one thousand dollars!! Luckily our insurance covered most of it. Hubby caught and “relocated” over 50 of them in one year but their numbers have grown again! I have to admit I still enjoy watching them chase each other around the yard.
The garnet earrings look wonderful on Nati. The color is perfect as well as the shape. Wear them in good health. This was a great video. Thanks and Christmas blessings to everyone at LaLande.
"Its so FluFFY". You just turned into the little girl from Despicable Me. Best Day Ever.
I do love this particular charity channel ❣
Over the past year of Covid is rated to watch your vlog. I did get into this shown first but now I hate a day go by when I forget to watched a
As the Spode basket was given as a Christmas present fill it with tiny baubles or fir cones or chocolates in bright paper like Quality Street or similar.
Beautiful gifts x
There's so much joy at La Lande, I love it! Watching everyone's genuine enthusiasm is heartwarming and makes me smile. Don't ever change! And, I'm absolutely thrilled that the Sampler I sent did make you smile. It's lovely that Nati will try her hand at cross-stitching. I'm probably more excited about it than she is, lol! Thank you again for all that you share with us ❤️🎄⛄❤️
A tie pin. The bar goes through a button hole and the pin holds the tie from flying about.
What a lovely cadoo i loved it so peacful 🙏🌲❤
I agree orange flowers would go with the blue. White too of course.
Beautiful! So much fun! ♥️
It is always nice to spend time with you all!
There is noone with me as we are on lockdown, I did go to Christmas dinner at my sisters', the next day was my birthday, spent the afternoon at my yearly party at my favorite famous hotel...The Arizona Inn...it is the fiftieth year i have celebrated at this hotel...but i live alone..except for the singular delight of your company...
Such wonderful gifts!
You and your team are always wrapped up is the château that cold❄️❄️❄️❄️
I’ve never commented on a CZcams video before, but I just had to share this… I grew up in Seattle Washington, in the United States. One of the oldest and nicest hotels in Seattle is the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Every Christmas, the Fairmont Olympic hosts a gingerbread village, roasts chestnuts by their front entrance, and also fills one of its hotel suites to the brim with teddy bears. No humans stay in the teddy bear suite - it’s just occupied by teddy bears. I have no idea what it’s like now (I’m now 28) but when I was a child it was so magical to see all of these Christmas teddy’s filling a room. It was the kind of space that just fills you to the brim with nostalgia, even when you are just a little girl. Anyway, just in case you are in need of an idea for all those stuffed animals… consider making your own teddy suite at the chateau. It’s silly, but I can’t think of anything more fitting!
What a good idea! A future room in the attic, in the servants quarter, would be perfect because a) those rooms won't be often used, b) it's far away enough so that the animals can live their secret life secretly but not too far away so they won't be forgotten, and c) it could be soo pretty! :D
@@cecilea6938 & D. It could be visited Every Holiday, since the Narnia Wardrobe's are up there & Holiday Decor needs to be gotten & put away Every Holiday🌹💕
Happy Early Christmas from Seattle!
Yes. Tie tacks. 😁😊❤️🎶🇨🇦
Great fun
Thank you for the close ups int the videos! Much better!
The advent calender with the chateau on it was a good idea. wow. The calenders remind me i have so little time to get my cookies done before christmas.
Always happy when a fire is averted at the chateau!
Just loving the opening of gifts...
… and the crowd goes wild! 😂😂😂 That’s my kind of humour😁
I wondered if Ruby was missing Diesel. They seemed to be such good buddies.
Selmar said they were taking him. They left him behind??
SERIOUSLY.......such class this channel has commenting on a gift givers hand writing. Way to go Nati and Steph.
Lovely vlog nice to see the gifts.
Stephanie it is pronounced like the word page turning a page in a book. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Jackie, Peigie wrote a comment and she says it's pronounced Peggy :)
@@cecilea6938 lol I thought Stephanie said p a i g e 😂 yes you're correct 😁 thank you for the correction 😊
I love the seeds advent.
Orange is the complimentary color to blue so Phillip's suggestion of orange flowers in the little blue basket could be just right.
I’m enjoying this, hi from southern California
Such a wonderful vlog with such amazing gifts. Glad a fire was averted. 😍😘
Stephanie your entire room is gorgeous. The tree looks superb with the rest of the room…stunning
Such a lovely time🥰😇
There was some beautiful Murano glass in your presents today. As a hobby I make earrings, necklaces and bracelets with Murano glass beads and Swarovski crystals. Each bead is hand made and unique, none are completely identical. There were some beautiful beads in your gifts. I love the cross stitch as that is another hobby of mine. Hopefully your framer will know how to frame cross stitch properly. I usually stretch mine over foam core and lace it at the back before my framer receives it. That way it lasts longer and it is cheaper than paying for the framer to do it. I love Nati's garnet earrings. I think some of the treasure today may not be just costume jewellery. Philip sounds as if he has a bad cold. I know you all had your vaccinations earlier. I hope that boosters are available for you all also. Take care everyone xo
Good grief no! Hilarious expressions of outrage and protecting the basket at 49:25 - 49:33. “Cut!”
Such beautiful gifts as normal loved them all Loved watchingxx
And absolutely orange flowers in the beautiful blue and white basket!! One of my favorite opposite color combinations!!! If not orange, than a beautiful peach. 🍑 😁 Though, I am rather crazy when it comes to colors, so I can completely understand why others would not enjoy this flavor of flamboyance. 😂
The boches look lovely nati looks stunning withe ear rings and broche
So cozy you guys. Enjoy
Thank you absolutely lovely
Now I know Nati is my favorite character..........she hates snakes also. lol :-)
I see nattie makes good use of the many scarf gifted and her own shopping.So useful. I noticed at another chateau a woman makes good neck warmer with some kind of band that has a drawstring to bring it up close. That is probably Especially good to to keep the neck warm.
Loving efficiency 🤣❤️
Natalia looks exceptionally pretty in this Vlog!
Just as well you have a HUGH home, it must be half full of gifts now. Soon Stephanie you will be looking for extensions. lol ☺️👵🏻🇦🇺
Peigie could be an Irish name ie the Irish for Peggy as Peig is an Irish name
Once again you have been spoiled rotten.....what kind thoughtful gifts.............Donna in Toronto
Hi stephanie I love watching you guys absolutely love it
Phillip,you have a cold,feel better.
Two videos tonight is my reward from getting through a long hard work day
All those gifts were just amazing.
The gift from Stephanie was absolutely lovely .. my friend did embroidery and I’m going to share this to her..I hate writing this ..I noticed in the comments about Ruby the cat ..please show her this winter in the chateau .. or please let us know where she is staying 🐈 I’m sorry if this is upsetting but maybe find a loving home for her if she can’t be in the Château in winter ❄️💙😻.. lots of love and caring -Gretchen
Orange and yellow go stunningly with white and blue. I put yellow and orange Nasturtiums in my white and blue vase. Pretty as a picture
Beautiful gifts! Enjoyed. Fun time together. Love to all ❤
Do you put information about objects on the back if them for the future or have a gift book for historical reasons?
Just had to tell you Stephanie you and Philip make such a Beautiful Couple you both have so much in common hope to see you together for a long long time have a Wonderful Christmas
Peigi is Peggy in Scottish Gaelic ..as she’s from Scottish heritage..that may help xx
The TEA calendar is from MEEEEEEE! hahahahahahahahahahahaaaa. So glad to see it being opened up
the paper or fabric is "toile de tree" and the tree for sure "tree de jouy" so you can use both "names" ;-)
Merry Christmas and Much Love -
Phillip....those are called tie tacks, my father always wore one on his tie when we went to ⛪ church. Merry Christmas to you all...I 💘 love the videos, I have been hooked since day one of discovering the channel ❤❤
Stephanie the bow brooch looks like one I saw in a jewelry expp...the original had several zeros in the price tag...one of Marie Antionettes faves..
Sound is great
So much lOve in these gifts.. people lOve yOuuu aLL so much ♥️♥️♥️🎄❄️☃️🕯✨🤍🕊🙏🏼
My vote is for the orange flowers. I think it could be stunning. Imagine orange dahlias.....
My vote is yellow flowers, possibly mixed with pink and orange 😍
Oh I have a white owl on my tree too!!
Thank you, for wonderful and fun filled Christmas Cadeaux! So many people get pleasure from giving and we also enjoy your reaction to each gift and the fact that you all appreciate every single one... 🏰 🎄🦘
Phillip's gift that he did not understand. They are tie pins and the bar on the chain goes into the button hole of the shirt to keep your tie from hanging out away from the body.
Чайничок гарний. Я б собі такий взяла.
Suggestion - Use all the neat jewelry covering a velvet cone shape so all pieces can be enjoyed year round. Making it an art piece!!! Made one for myself - very striking and unique🌲
Ruby should stay with Selma 😊
I worry if Ruby is warm
They are tie tack’s, you put the tack part through the center of both tie parts, then the chain threw the button hole to help keep your tie in place. My husband had a gold nugget that we had made into a tie tack and chain. I miss those things, now my son wears them. Your guys are awesome, you keep me laughing and being able to see so many beautiful things, so thank you. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
This is so fun. I do have a question about the beautiful lights on the Christmas tree behind Stephanie. What type are they? Maybe you can show a closeup of the lights so I can scope them out online. Thanks for all you give to the world. Cheers my Dear la Landers!!!!! Watching from Yonkers, NY.
In Canada they are called rice lights (found them for the first time last week!).
Dang, I'm impressed by Natty's command of US state's abbreviations!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄Grazie
Philip should attach an envelope in the talons of the 'Hogwarts owl'.
❤❤❤ Philip, those are tie pins, the chain with the straight bar goes through a buttonhole in your shirt, hence keeping the tie and shirt together. ❤❤❤
