The videos always seem slightly more with you and Michael..more fun but yet deeper sometimes, more creative in that you seem to spark ideas off one another, and more forward leaning because I'm always excited to see what you will do next. What a jewel of a friendship.

Three words to describe this vlog ..... Beautiful Charming Uplifting There’s something special when you two are together, you seem to bring out the best in each other. You both fizz with excitement!!! Now you have to interview MIchael....

A friend and I are redecorating my bedroom. It is totally Inspired by the chateau and in particular, my favorite room...in the vernacular of north central Indiana...Roger's Room! I will send pictures when its finished, if you would like to see it. Awaiting with love whatever you send out next

Just wonderful! Loved every moment of the interview. I agree with another comment... same questions need to be asked of the Talented Mr. Petherick. :)

Thankyou for sharing, love you Michael! loving your vlogs. Steph I have always had good close male friends and understand. I can see how the nursing home and that upbringing would have had a huge impact. I grew up with a house full of antiques which I feel has given me the love of old things with history and provenance. Thankyou for sharing Michael with us! haha love to you both..love your honesty xo

I would love to see more photos of the chateau before the work you have done... She has a Soul Lalande as do many home, buildings and esp chateaus Steph don't you find that once living in a place your ideas change and get grander with time?

Fascinating. Thank you for having helped me keep sane during this time. Without the joy the videos bring I don't know what state I would be in. I received my card.

Stephanie, I admire how true you are to yourself, knowing that the "usual" family life wasn't for you, and instead creating what you DO want!! I think one of your purposes is showing the world an alternate way to live that is..... SPECTACULAR! Andddd another one of them is, bringing people together to shine your amazing and sparkley light on everybody you meet.

Stephanie you really are so inspiring and I loved hearing your answers to the questions. I especially liked what you said about pessimism stealing the joy from the present moment; it's so true and something I forget easily. I always feel a little discouraged by how easily everyone answers "what is your purpose?"...I have absolutely no idea how I'd answer that question. I need to use all of you at Lalande as motivation to find my purpose in life!!

I believe people come to discover their purpose at different times in life, and it doesn’t matter if you spend most of your life unable to answer the question. I think it’s the seeking of the answer to this question which creates the good in our lives. You will discover it eventually, and you may be surprised to see you have been fulfilling it all along 🥰

I really enjoyed this. I want to tell you what finding your vlog and the ability to be a patron has meant to me~ it’s been a difficult season and you’ve shown not just a different way to live but a different way to be. There’s more to say but it feels a bit emotional. Every time I watch I think I can’t wait to come and help in the gardens or tackle some organizing and help out! Sending lots of love. ❤️

Anonymous

Stephanie, one of the things that you do that is so marvelous, is you step back and let others shine. You are very generous with the limelight. For example the video you made with Oliver when you went to the village Monet painted. You would ask a question then step back and let Oliver talk about something he loved and knew well. That is quite rare and beautiful to see. It is an admiral trait.

Stephanie! What a special, warm, friendly, delightful time with you and Michael. I so appreciate your optimism, I am an optimist as well. I believe so many people are drawn to you because you see the positive and do not look for the negative. Back in the day I was told I was a "Pollyanna" and was wearing "rose coloured glasses" but like you I am thankful that I look for the good and am optimistic. It may not change the outcome, but the journey is so much better. Thank you for your insight and your outlook. You, and your good friend Michael Petherick, are inspirations to so many of us.

Stephanie, I was not sure how you could honestly answer the questions that you created and not have “rehearsed” answers. You proved me wrong. As always, the insight you bring is amazing. You were spot on with the answers you gave. You have kept the childlike vision for life. As in the fairytale, “they lived happily ever after”. That is what your optimism brings. I remember when you returned to LaLande at the beginning of the quarantine, you told everyone about the cancellations but you were not worried about the loss of income, you stated that it would all workout. For me, that was the start of my life changing too. You have inspired so many of us to look for the “silver linings”. Thank you for that. Wishing you and all LaLanders all the best.

I had LaLande Diaries on auto play the other night while sewing and got to the Venice vlogs, and was laughing so hard at the high waters and the guys carrying the ladies! Was too funny! You two make blogging content so fun to watch. Great to hear your perspective on the interview Stephanie.

I appreciate your comments about worry. I am a worrier. I think I started worrying as a child because after bad things happened, and caught me off guard, I would tell myself that I should have seen it coming. I could have done something and it wouldn’t have been so bad. Fast forward 40 years and I am an adult with terrible anxiety. But you are so right, all the worry just sucks the joy out of life. I’ve been trying to embrace a different way of going about things. COVID took everything out of my hands. My mother fighting cancer is out of my hands. I am still concerned of course. But I just try to value and appreciate everything good everyday now. Thanks in large part to seeing the joy you find in everything. Your purpose is not only to make things beautiful but it truly is to bring joy and positivity to so many people. You have so many fans now and I only see that growing. I worry (of course I still do I’m me) you can’t possibly keep your light shining so bright. It is amazing to me how bright it is. Please don’t ever let it fade. Protect it. You are a treasure.

Stephanie......you and michael are the definition of chemistry. Loved seeing you both and it made me think that its a shame that the the people who are not patrons dont have a chance to see these amazing interviews with the people in the chateau. I completely appreciate that this is something special you do for your patrons but id also love to see you share them with your broader youtube audience because they are really warm , uplifting and magical in what are very stressful times in the world...i actually became a patron just so i could see selmars video! I was wondering if you could treat the patron videos as early previews of this content that we get to see first befpre anyone else....so it would still be a very lovely gift for your patrons....but then after a time you can also share them on youtube also...kind of like movies that play in the theater first and then go to tv!. they are too special for us to keep to ourselves permanently!

I think this is just a REALLY lovely idea.... really lovely. I think the interviews. Maybe release them as we reach some sort of poiniont stage?? or milestone? or Christmas? Thanksgiving?

Another lovely interview. Next visit, do Michael! Just switch up the questions to surprise him. It was fun hearing more of your back stories and how you met. It’s been amazing watching his journey too. What lucky chance your life is. My son is like you. So positive and happy, charming and lucky. Of course, he works very hard but I think you and he are kindred spirits. I think life beats the optimism out of people and circumstances change your ability to see the good in anyone without time to really know them. You’re trusting. To me being open and trusting is a frightening thing.

I am so sorry to hear about your mum. It's a hard thing to go through. As a mum, I can tell you, your mum wants you to enjoy every moment you can and to live your life to your fullest and to try to not worry. Again as a mim, I know she would try and take all of your worry from you. I know how crippling anxiety can be so am glad to hear you are working on it. It is a steep mountain so just keep at it. The joke is of course: how do you eat and elephant (not that anyone would eat such a lovely animal just a size metaphor)? one bite at a time😊 Best of luck and big thought hugs to you.

What a wonderful interview! It’s always fun to see you and Michael together- your energies play off one another so well, and that is a beautiful friendship. Stephanie, when you were talking about your purpose, I was also thinking about the community you have created within your home, and how you have expanded that community all over the world! I’m sure I speak for others when I say that we feel like we are a part of your life in so many ways. I get as excited as you are when you discover a beautiful toile or porcelain, and when Isabelle receives her lovely gardening gifts. I imagine visiting your lovely chateau one day and joining you all for tea in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You have made living through this pandemic more tolerable, and for us in the US the pandemic continues indefinitely. I look forward to us being able to travel outside the country again and can visit you. Love to all at La Lande!

Hi Stephanie, maybe this subject has already been brought up but have you considered doing a custom wallpaper in the chambre des oiseaux using the fabric in the bed as a sample? For example rebelwalls makes custom wallpaper and it will surely be less expensive and on the right scale.

And it always leaves me feel happier and positive, which is so very important!

The both of you have such profound ideas. When I was younger I wanted to be an opera singer as well but I never found myself listening to music. I still don’t I’d rather be with my thoughts or listen to books being read aloud. I love how Michael said that the thing you’re meant to do will find you.Stephanie, you’re so right when you say that sometimes it’s hard to know your purpose because you’re in the thick of it. Both of you are such wonderful people thank you for this interview

What a great conversation. Thank you for being so open! Michael was right, your purpose is bringing people together and you do so in such a marvelous way! Thank you for making us a part of your "pride" :)

You mean such a lot to me and my husband in these times especially. I cry sometimes because I love you and Isabelle and the wonderful friends around you. Tears will spring to my eyes when Selmar makes the girls giggle ripping foil in half in the kitchen, and it's because it's been over 200 days in lockdown. You all are our friends, our party! Love to you all! 💋💋💋

Absolutely wonderful interview! Although I've enjoyed watching the Chateau Diaries since the lockdown first began, I've only recently become a patron. It's so interesting to hear the origin story of Stephanie and Lalande and finally be able to make sense of it all! Stephanie, I really like what you said about optimism vs pessimism a lot. I will be incorporating that theory moving forward! Very timely and much appreciated. Also, I agree with Michael that you have the gift of bringing people together and I'm so happy to be part of this community. I feel it's a very positive group. Thank you! :)))
