Sending you some gorgeous fabric tomorrow for the sofa (possibly) !!! hugs xxxx

Yes...the Winter Salon library! I would place that as high priority for guests and proper book storage/use.

Great questions, great answers, great filming, great editing, great Chatelaine, great vlogs and great team at LaLande! As always really appreciate you taking the time to update and answer questions. Much better grouping similar questions together to save you time. Fab job, and so exciting to hear all that is underway and yet to happen at LaLande and with the various plans you have. So pleased you can do what you love doing, have a passion for, and are getting better and better at! It’s lovely to see a dream coming to life every day. Amazing to see how things have progressed since your first vlog! Well done and keep enjoying all that you do. 😁🥂

Stephanie...LaLande needs to have Ryan as a daytrip planner/concierge. He would be amazing. I love his videos and appreciate him very much. He seems like a perfect daytrip guide/host.

Wonderful job with the q&a video! I wonder if next week, or another time, you could interview Dana, she seems like such an interesting person and carries that same effervescence that drew me to you! 🥰

What fun, thank you so much for the updates. For some reason it has seemed over the last few weeks as though everything had stopped or at least arrived at a 'holding pattern'. I am glad to hear that it is moving. I absolutely love the idea of the library. It was exactly that and the paneling that made me decide to become a Patron.

Fab Q&A and courtyard vlog! Thank you Stephanie. It’s great to hear you say you are doing well because that is how it appears. The positivity radiates from you and affects all the Lalanders. In these crazy times it’s a great tonic to watch good people doing good things. X

Thank you so much for the A’s to our Q’s! I always enjoy your input and feedback. I look forward to part 2 & even part 3 I imagine!

So wonderful, Stephanie!!!!❤️ Great stories at the end! I always have too many responses to these videos!! Suffice to say...so happy to hear that you’re well in the parallel universe. I applaud your decisions at the chateau and encourage you to keep following your instincts. Love you so much!

Please give a hug amount of love to Mummy. She has looked so 'down' and unhappy lately. I know that she misses her darling Percy so much, perhaps knowing that we all care and are a little concerned for her will give her the extra support that she needs right now. Many many virtual hugs to you my darling friend.

What a wonderful uplifting Q&A! I thoroughly enjoyed this little behind the scenes glimpse - thank you! I understand your feeling of being in a dream state - so much has changed since I began watching your videos (half of them were still on instagram). You seem to have found a wonderful balance of gratitude and excitement which is so authentic and lovely to watch. I am so happy for you. (onedandylion)

Wonderful answers! I don't know about anyone else but I can't help thinking how LUCKY future generations who own Lalande are going to be if they have access to these videos hundreds of years from now. Imagine if you had videos from Henri's time( or even from the 1930's and forties) and could say "Oh THAT'S how this room got this wallpaper" etc etc. Watching them pick it out, saying why they chose it. What additions and repairs. It's more than entertainment it's a historical record...for somebody. Lucky them.

A library in the Winter Salon...perfection. But oh the china pantry too, that's going to look heavenly🥰

Thank you Stephanie, it feels like we’ve just had a lovely catch up. It’s so inspiring not just to see the wonderful group you have in the house right now, I mean the raking party was fabulous, but to see that you KNOW it and are appreciating it in real time.

Have you ever considered getting all the chimneys working so you can have cozy fires through the cold months in more rooms? I know it would be a huge project but is seems so cold everywhere.

G'day Stephanie! Thanks for your fantastic Q & A Part 1. Such lovely goings on and progress in your chateau. I really hope your heating gets fixed asap as we are now mid Spring and turning ours off! As you're going into the coldest part of the year in Europe being warm is essential for health and wellbeing . And hot water bottles are not really practical unless you're in bed! So looking forward to seeing the courtyard with it's new design and surface of gravel. A great job by all on raking the stones by the way! Until next week, au revoir from down under in Tasmania! xx

Garrie and Cindy Garrison

Please share what you can about Isabelle and Percy? So happy about the China room being on your horizon. Is there something we could all make to separate the places, etc? As you open gorgeous teacups, I always think you should look at the brocante for a delicate wood and glass cabinet with mirror backing and lighting to display some of your favorites! How lovely would that be? Love you, and appreciate all you do! X

Brilliant update! Love right back. I had a little tap on my right shoulder and a tiny small voice told me to seriously save for a trip to France for a stay at Lalande. It's going to take a few years, but as my French improves and my vacation savings account grows, there will be plenty of vlogs to watch to feed my dreams in anticipation. Hugs. C

Jane Nunn

Hello Stephanie, Yes! I loved the advent calendar last year maybe you and Michael could alternate. They don't need to be long, I watch a few other channels and they do excellent 10 minute very satisfying vlogs.. Esp when well edited.. Love to your mummy and all

Jane Nunn

Could Michael do one from home and you do one from Lalande? maybe do the last one together near Xmas?

I thought Frances borders are closed. How did the couple get in from NZ?

My heart exploded with joy to hear you'll be doing another Advent calendar! Thank you for another enjoyable Q & A.

Jane Nunn

Fires? I don't know why people were so worried, I am sure you are very careful with your home? Do you have a fire drill for you and the workaways and staff?

This group are very talented and congenial. I've seen all the vlogs for the beginning and am always amazed at the gifts each of the work away volunteers bring at the right time. There was a young southern man from USA who was particularly funny. I enjoy every personality.

Selmar was very naughty! and I hope Isabelle doesn't see it! He didn't tell him off! Selmar is too soft with him hahaha

Thank you for the great update. Now, I am really worried about Isabel. Is there anything we in the LaLande community can do to help her... ? To help Percy? Everyday seems like a struggle for her now... the separation and worry about Percy seems to have finally taken its toll on her. Wish we could help her....

Stephanie, you are SUCH a ray of sunshine, you more than deserve all the good things that are coming to you!! Please don't work yourself to burn out, we need you for the long term!

Stephanie, you deserve all the joy of living in your parallel universe! I don’t think you quite realise how many of us you have rescued from the extreme emotional effects of the pandemic. Your relentless enthusiasm, creativity and positivity have inspired me in so many ways and kept me from spiralling downwards into a dark place. Thank you,. 💕👏

Stephanie, why do you do ETTC DIY when it limits your control of what you can show and you are not paid for it and you said in the past you had no real benefit from doing it..?

Jane Nunn

Thats very humble of you Steph. I remember Selmar arriving after things were shut down,I remember when you had such a small little channel and actually miss it.. seems like eternity ago and its all exploded, I followed you from the beginning and its crazy how its grown. You are handling the sudden success very well not easy online. I do understand how you must feel as it was quite sudden. Thankyou for your time.. xo

Oh Stephanie what a great Q & A ‼️ 🥰. I remember with you many of the memories you shared as well. I seldom comment on your vlogs these days due to the volume of new commentators. Don’t get me wrong I loooooove reading through all the comments lol but like a pretty curtain framing LaLande’s landscaping from the inside I enjoy silently watching. Looking forward to part 2 😍

It's hard for me to explain how I feel about Chateau Lalande and the people residing there. Since March of this year, it's like going to a happy place whenever I see one of Stephanie's vlogs. I feel privileged to be a small part of it. Stephanie produces some of the most intelligent, informative and entertaining pieces. I think Stephanie has helped so many of us through the last 8 months. Thank you Stephanie 😊 💓 ☺ 💗 💛

This was so wonderful in a way that's hard to describe in a few words. I loved about the sense of being in a parallel universe - all the good things preserved from the past, plus the possibilities that come with the support of so many of us around the world! I feel almost as elated as Stephanie! hahahaha <3

Gosh..I got a little emotional at the end there. You're such a beautiful soul Stephanie. I hope the future is even bigger and better for you and your lovely chateau. Definitely work on storage ! It's important to have a place for all your things. I imagine you'll be overwhelmed before long ! :)

Thank you Stephanie once again for the gift of sharing your life, memories, Hope's and dreams with us, we are so lucky as your patrons. I am concerned though about the heating system and how you are going to manage in the winter months if it keeps breaking down, is it time to think of an upgrade? Isabelle and Percy's separation is also a concern and I hope they are reunited soon. Whilst it would be lovely to see Percy at Lalande, maybe Isabelle going to SA for the heat would be a better option. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you once again ❤❤

Loved the Q&A update! If it wasn’t for the pandemic and travel restrictions I would be applying to come do a work away. I adore organizing and am a quick learner when it comes to renovating furniture :) Someday! I’ll keep watching the videos and dreaming until then. Love to all in the chateau!!

Thank you Stephanie. Your Patreon videos are as lovely as those you produce for your YouTube channels. I know many of us have expressed our deep gratitude to you for providing us the perfect escape from the bizarre and tragic events happening in 2020, but you and the other Lalanders have also given many of us hope, inspiration and motivation. Marie and Isabelle motivated me to plant more flowers in my garden this year; Dan and Selmar are constantly giving me hope that my husband and I can get all the outdoor projects completed with a little creativity and some connections; Gerry and Kat remind me to believe in the healing power of humor, dance and singing, and you are constantly giving me faith that my dreams can come true with ease, joy, determination, patience, and optimism. Even the generosity of our fellow viewers has inspired me to send more gifts and cards to friends and family. I am happy to support all of your endeavors in this magical place. Bonne courage and merci bien.

sooo fun I’m going thrifting tomorrow for pretty glasses to fill with wax, a wick... gold leafe and I’m going to add a bit of essential oils... You saved me and many’s sanity by keeping dreaming alive ... cheers to you all ... air hugs for Isabelle, Gerrald, Percy , Selmar, Desel and all the Ian’s

I so enjoyed all the questions and especially the thought and care you put into every one of your answers. I love everything you are doing and wish I could come and volunteer. My husband and I have been building houses for over 30 years and I would love to build your china pantry. I wish I could send you a picture of my blue and white and yellow kitchen with a blue Aga and liberty of London yellow wallpaper behind all the blue and white Spode and English China. I have a terribly awesome addiction to blue and white China and I am so glad you agree that there can never be too much! Love from Victoria B.C. Canada

Hi Stephanie, thank you once again for the Q & A. What lovely things are happening at LaLande. You have been so lucky with all the lovely people who have visited and of course stayed with you. I can remember them all. It feels like my family as well. So much is happening and it’s so lovely all work is progressing. The lockdown in France and everywhere has had an effect on everyone but watching and listening to you all has made me so aware that we all need people to make us happy. Thank you so much.

Hello Stephanie. Seems to me you should pass your bike test, then perhaps the purchase of a 400 or 600cc red Ducati. Can you imagine how cool that would look in the new courtyard ? You know it makes sense !

My card just arrived this morning-so surprised as I was happily resigned to it taking much longer given how much you do Stephanie and your amazing commitment to handwriting every one -I also hadn’t quite got that the cards are limited editions and different-what a treat-I always appreciate real letters/cards in the post even more so as they get rarer ( I am 56 so of a generation when my friends and I from holidays used to write letters to each other 🤣🤣) AND this card is extra extra special THANK YOU

Hi Stephanie, thank you for the Q&A. I remember you mentioned previously as well that videos allow you to express your creative side. The videos you put out have been marvellous and informative, and I hope that you will be able to take some time for yourself to rest and plan for more fantastic content for years to come. However, at this point, for you to arrange the filming of and for Natty to organise the gifts’ opening does not seem sustainable. I hope that you can consider sending special thank you notes instead to those who sent gifts, and do away with the videos. For others to give back (in light of having ad revenue on those usually given to charities), you can direct your viewers to links set up with charities. Gifts are meant to be enjoyed by the receiver and I’m sure that those who sent gifts will understand and support your need for more time to plan for great content! I hope you can consider the above!

Always love the updates! The heating is absolutely the most important thing right now.

Great video, as always. I think of you and Lalande every morning with my cup of English Breakfast tea. I wouldn’t be opposed to learning more about tea; I guess it’s more of a British tradition (and we here in the States are likely more coffee people) but I would definitely like to see more about why tea is such a gathering event and the delicious looking snacks that accompany it (and the gorgeous tea cups!!). I’m definitely doing to have to break out my elephant tea pot for the colder months ahead!

Me too, I can't wait forever for the china cabinet! I just have my china and curio cabinet which enables me to see and enjoy my plates, cups, and serving platters! There is something special being able to view them arranged and displayed beautifully.

Enjoyed the Q&A. Also I like reading all the comments too. Looking forward to the China Cabinet with display areas. You seem to have your priorities in order and know what is best. The court yard looks wonderful! Please don't fret over the gift opening videos. I for one enjoy them to a point; but, they are gifts. Maybe display them on a table and voice over with a thank you and brief acknowledgment of the sender. I'm more interested in videos of the daily life at the chateau. You really do have a wonderful group in the chateau. Many of your videos I have viewed several times and see how wonderful the outstanding work aways function in making the work even more fun and exciting. Thank you for the genuine love, for sharing your lovely chateau life, and all the amazing infectious laughter! ~k

Hello Stephanie, We watch your channels as a family as my children 15 and 17 years of age are your subscribers. I am also your patron that we can access for more content on Patreon. Yesterday we watched several episodes of cadeaux at the chateau and one thing made me cringe; opening of gin bottles with” oohs and aahs” commenting how you want to make a G&T immediately, how good it smells, giving the brand name etc. Is this kind of behaviour necessary? Do not get me wrong, G&T, glass of wine, a shandy during opening is perfectly fine, drinking responsibly is one of the joys of adult life, but surreptitious advertising is not. My children look up to you as a role model. I understand that appreciating (even boozy) gifts is necessary, but it still remains something that tends to function as advertising whether or not that was purposeful. YouTube videos have become a significant contributor of alcohol marketing and in an era of social media and smartphones, parents are often behind the curve with their children. Please consider taking responsibility of your underaged viewers and not accepting alcohol as a gift in your cadeaux at the chateau channel. Yours sincerely, Harri Raasakka

Stephanie, Thank you so much for always being so cheerful (even when uploading is a chore). I am very interested in what you have planned for a library. My husband and I are creating a small private liabary in our 1905 home in Oregon, USA, and have amassed a lot of ideas on how to display and organize and would love to know what sort of space you are looking into converting, Ours is the old housekeepers quarters, which is small 7 feet (2.13 meters) x 9 feet (2.74 meters), with 2 windows. We want a cozy daybed with shelves.

Harri, I understand your reluctance to profile the alcohol. I personally do not drink, but as they are not promoting getting drunk, it is like chocolates, everything in moderation.

Stephanie, I haven't commented in a while but wanted to congratulate you again on doing such a fantastic job! You juggle so much and keep up wonderfully with a fast pace of videos, and still think of special treats for us patrons. The Behind the Scenes are fun, and your answers to the recent questions very thoughtful. We are all behind you and so many are staying and maintaining their patronage month after month to see the Lalande renovations through! We're at your side with Henri and your artist father! I'm so glad you're doing the Advent Calendar again this year, that you have so many wonderful friends living with you to warm you up for winter, and can't wait to see all the festive vlogs for the holidays. Wish I was there with you all! xxx

Question for future Q&A: why does patreon cap the quantity of patrons at the $100 tier? You'd think they would allow an uncapped limit

Anonymous

Hello Nicole, i don’t think this is a Patreon thing. I believe that creators have an option to limit the number of supporters in a tier as a way of keeping their tier benefits offered, and perhaps the exclusivity of the tier etc., within a reasonable amount of control.

What a lovely video :) Also - I think I speak for others when I say I certainly don't mind fewer present-opening vids in order for you to film your advent calendar videos! I've saved last year's so I can watch them this year and now I'll have twice as many! :-D

Comment regarding numbering the episodes. I noticed that you stopped adding it to the title starting with THE CHATEAU DIARIES: WONDERFUL CHAPEL NEWS!, which would be episode 115. I understand that in the playlist they are in order but I know when I was binge-watching everything months and months ago it was so nice to easily know what episode I stopped at. I would encourage you to consider adding the numbering back in.

I can endorse your position, there is no such thing as too much of something, china or books, if you love it. People try to tell me that I have too many books. Hideous and outrageous blasphemy!

Yes I agree, I filled with tears as well. She's really a rare breed, I'm so thankful I found her and that I'm helping in a small way to contribute to the chateau dreams she has. I'm a new patron and getting caught up on videos, love the lady and all her peeps!!
