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 💖💖💖

Fred Hollows was a wonderful man saving eye sight in less advantaged people and his legacy lives on in his Foundation. Thank you for your donation.
You can now reuse all the bubble wrap and boxes from cadeau for the shop! Then people will be able to take their treasures home safely.
May I just say that I adore Nati? I watched a CZcams interview many months ago, hosted by Marie. Nati’s resilience, her wisdom, her warmth and her spirit of adventure are all such admirable qualities. She seems to just radiate joy. (And, btw, she looks especially ravishing on this video.)
being an Aussie its great to see the Fred Hollow's Foundation being recipients of Cadeaux funds......the amount you sent should restore the sight to approx. 140 lucky people. Thank you!
PHILIP IS TOO CLOSE TO THE MICROPHONE
Thank you for the donation to the Fred Hollows Foundation he was the most amazing person and now his wife is carrying on with the work.
Philip, I am 64 years old and had those cards with the mouse and an umbrella as a little girl! There were I think 4 designs in the pack and they were some of the first stationary I owned (in a computerless world were all correspondence was sent in the mail.) Nati, that necklace is stunning on you!
Elisabeth has commented that we have not seen Nathalies apartment, please give us a tour. It would be lovely to see how it turned out.
Hi! I am Ingrid my sister is Lauren who was just there visiting! I am so happy to see you both loved the earrings I made!! They are actually made with polymer clay if anyone ever asks you what they are made of☺️
Bless you for donating to the Fred Hollows Foundation. I got goosebumps when you announced it as the beneficiary. Fred was an angel and an inspirational man. So glad his foundation and work continues. Thankyou Stephanie. 🙏❤
Those earrings were from my wife’s shop! Thanks so much for the kind words, she’s gushing over your complements :)
Here you go! You were right Stephanie! ...."An owlet is a young baby owl, typically a recently hatched bird that has not yet developed its full mature plumage and is still dependent on its parents for feeding, care, and security." Gifts for everyone sent with such love - so heartwarming ❤️
How fun! I know Christine. She is part of our costuming community, and she and her husband join us every year for Costume College, a 3-day costume seminar, near Los Angeles, CA, although they don't live in our state. Her costumes are amazing!
Thanks for following up on the Fred Hollows Foundation charity. Although Fred passed away many years ago, he was and still is a national treasure to Australia and to all those worldwide who have benefited from his exceptional talent and generous spirit. The Fred Hollows Foundations is truly a worthy cause. x
Natalie, your beauty attracts so much positivity. You and Amary make the most beautiful couple. You deserve every gift and enjoyment. I wish and pray you blessed future together.
Thank you for choosing the Fred Hollows Foundation for your March charity donation. I have been a long time supporter of this charity. Years ago our family dog went blind from cataracts and it was going to cost $3000 Australian dollars to rectify. Our lovely Border Collie was already 12 years old and coming near the end of her life. We found out that just $25 could cure a person in a third world country of cataracts and knew that it would be wrong to spend such a huge amount of money on a dog even tho much loved, when that amount of money could do so much for people. Anyway we donated the amount to the Fred Hollows foundation and now feel so happy that we’ve been able to help so many people. Your donation will be much appreciated I’m sure.
Nat looks so beautiful in red …The happiness shows on all of you …Pure love …♥️
I love how you paint a picture of every gift, how and where it could be used. Brings so much fun and interest to Cadeaux. Loving your nail polish Phillip. It's good and fun to do something different xx😍
Fabulous to hear that you have donated to such a wonderful charity. Fred Hollows Foundation do amazing work. Thank you from a fellow Aussie.
What a wonderful end to my day, you have no idea how your channel cheers me up. Thank you Steph, you are a beautiful caring soul 💖
