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:
/ thechateaudiaries
The bond between Amaury and his dog is incredible and beautiful to see a dog so loved. Thank you Amaury.
Goodbye, Cadeaux. Thank you so much for showing us an example of generosity and how giving precious gifts enriches both the giver and the receiver.
Well said!
Thank you! That is one thing I struggled to express!
Well said !
Thank you all for each and every Cadeaux, I have not missed one and enjoyed them all, the generosity of your viewers and yourselves. SAD to see the end of an era. We await new adventures XXXXX
Farewell to Cadeaux at the Château. It has been a wonderful few years for us and for the charities you have supported. Thanks to all of you who have participated in Cadeaux - those sending the wonderful gifts and those of you who have received the gifts so graciously. There are so many special memories but my favourite was the day that Philip arrived as a new volunteer in the middle of filming Cadeaux all masked up! Who could see into the future and know what would happen with Stephanie and Philip?? Best to all of you in 2024! 💗
I haven't seen that one yet. I Subscribed from Michael's channel when he was a detective & Stephanie, as a Countess called him to unravel a crime that had been committed at her Chateau! I have been binge watching but due to the sheer number of videos, it may take Some Time! I did watch Isabella & Percy's romance & now the two new younger romances! I love that they make us feel like we're part of their lives & it's not "just another TV show"!!! Stephanie has created a new definition for entrepreneur & has set a new vary high bar!❤
@@marshawargo7238 I miss co-operation of Stefanie and Michaels.
A precious moment when Natalie says 'My fiance' as Amoury 2alks in. So sweet.😊
Yeah ❤
Michael Potts, it is ALWAYS a joy to see you on Le Lande VLOGs - also, really lovely to see your mother enjoying this Christmas with you all.
As for the last charity you mentioned you donated to ( September, October & November 2022: 3rd year of the Lalande Fashion Scholarship for a student at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa €6.092), it is so sad the student died before she could graduate.
In what may be the final Cadeaux at the Chateau question, here is the answer for Amaury and others who would like to know if Tiffany’s is still family owned: Tiffany & Co. has had several different owners during its history. The company was purchased in November 1978 by Avon Products, Inc. Avon sold Tiffany & Co. in 1984 to an investor group headed by W. R. Chaney for $135.5 million. Tiffany & Co. is currently owned by LVMH. On November 25, 2019, Tiffany & Co. was purchased by LVMH for a record sale price of $16.2 billion. LVMH stands for Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, a French family-run business empire that owns about 75 different luxury brands. Today it’s not about breakfast at Tiffany’s, it’s about watching your shares rise and fall.
are you "the Michael". If you are, you're a legend
Thank You! Personally, I can never think of questions when asked. But when someone else, like Amaury asks, suddenly I need to know!
It's like the game show contestants on Family Feud,
👏 👏Good 👏👏Answer 👏👏
Loved seeing Amaury loving on Molly…. and Nati, too!
Stephanie I’m amazed at how well you read all the notes cards and letters with such expression. Amazing how you rarely stumble over a word. It never feels like you’re just reading. Well done.
If you really want to give, there are so many people in need all over the world-and many in your own communities. Please consider donating directly. In the USA, the flood of Venezuelan refugees have arrived in Chicago and NYC with no winter clothes. The need is great.
sadly they will never be able to help the world.....
Every Cadeaux £££ has gone to donation to many different charities.
I think that Janet is talking to us, the viewers! Since Cadeaux is stopping it doesn't mean donations need to end! So if we feel sad about it's end because of the fact that there will be no more donations, we can reach out to our choice of local to us, places that need help. Maybe make donations in the LaLond name?❤
Thank you to all that sent the gifts from your hearts, and all at the chateau that received them. You all have made many enjoyable days for me.❤
Yeah ❤ it's wonderful 🎉
How fitting to end the last Cadeaux with gifts from Michael T. He's got such elegant taste and his stories are beautiful. I've enjoyed all the Cadeaux vlogs, people are so generous and it's very apparent you bring joy and happiness to many many people around the world. It's a joy to watch you all.
It makes my day when i get even just a glimpse of Michael Potts in a video.
Michael has a great personality!
Stephanie, your scarf is knitted in cashmere and silk. It will be very cosy for your cold morning walks. Xx
Such a beautiful scarf!!!!! Best wishes for the New YEar.
I applaud your choices for donations in 2023!!!
£70,000 donated to Charities is an amazing achievement so well done everyone who has contributed whether by sending gifts or just watching the channel. Well done Hanny for creating such a wonderful idea that is the essence of LaLande which is “in giving we receive and in receiving we give back” . Like others I shall miss Cadeau very much but at least we have the diaries to watch. So thank you all and a Very Happy and Blessed New Year xx🥂
The bond between Tonton Steven and Tatinette is inspirational. ❤
Thank you to all those who sent in lovely gifts and for all the charitable donations made these past few years. It's been enjoyable. Bye-bye Cadeaux
Thank you for a very successful run of Cadeaux at the Chateau in support of many deserving charities. The generosity of your viewers is overwhelming. 🙏❤️
Thankyou all of you for a wonderful last Cadeaux! My father was a Civil Engineer on the Aswan Project; an International engineering collaboration based in Milan of all places. He described the complications of moving the Statues of Abu Simbel to me as a child. Unforgettable stories. Thankyou
Thank you for Cadeau at the Chateau! Please ask Michael T. To still send stories for Stephanie to read to us!!❤❤❤
Maybe a story time session from time to time perhaps?
Yes I also love Stephanie’s reading she is spectacular at reading it gives us all interest ❤❤❤
Thank you to everyone who has shared not only wonderful gifts but also their stories. I think that's what I'll miss the most. Hearing about everyone around the world who's lives are so different from mine or yours and yet we find a connection with Stephanie and the chateau. You have touched so many people with your joy for life and true love for people and animals (remember Stephanie in the car before going in to get Lancelot!). You were so nervous about getting a dog and it's one of the best things to have happened to you all this year. I will miss cadeaux but we all understand that you have so much going on there and things that are huge projects that you need to focus in on those things. Love you all to the moon and beyond.
Molly tugs at my heart ❤ 💙 i had 2 labs, brother and sister for 15 years.
She's absolutely precious. Such a gentle and loving presence.
Thank you to all who have sent such thoughtful and personal presents that have entertained, forged lasting friendships, and helped so many. May we carry forward similar acts of generosity in our own lives to honor what Hanni started here.
Yeah 🎉❤
I saw he gifts I sent from Australia,South Australia..it was quite surreal to see the bits and pieces I had collected and with special people in mind…thankyou for all the entertainment and love 🎉
I hope you replace this with something else we cal all watch and enjoy xxx
😂😂😂❤
I will miss these Cadeaux at the Chateau vlogs, but mostly i will miss the gifts and writings of Michael T. He is so clever with his poetry and letters that match his gifts. I hope Stephanie will share his letters, etc should he send any in the future. Thank you for sharing for the last 3 years. It has been so pleasurable and exciting to see the goodness that people kindly show and the deep appreciation you show from the very expensive to even the wee smallest of gifts. It was fun, and yes, even a lttle bittersweet to watch today's last episode, but i wouldn't have missed it for the world. Thank you again! See you on the Chateau Diaries!
Yeah ❤
ALL of you - thank you for sharing your time, your company, and your love & laughter with us tonight. And, now nostalgic, thanks to Michael (can't remember his sir name) for all the engaging story times and poetry-reading which have morphed into the fabric of the Le Lande experience. I will miss him. I look forward to the next Chateaux Diaries and supporting you all in your work of repairing and restoring. Stephanie, you truly are at the heart and at the coal face of Le Lande's return to life. Thank you for spreading the joy you feel in this work, and in life, to others, both in the house and round the world.
This was so fun to watch and I loved how Molly sat quietly at Amaury’s feet. She kept looking at him lovingly. All of you are so much fun.
Thank you so much for every single Cadeaux! I'm so sad to see it go, but this one was very special to me! Thank you for opening my book and reading my son's story. It made him very happy to hear it read, and he was grinning from ear to ear at the applause! I hope you all enjoy my novel ❤ It was so great to see you open it and read about it, it did my heart good to hear you all compliment my handwriting too. I've always thought of it as chicken scratch 😅. Also, Molly is the sweetest dog ever, I love to see the bond between her and Amaury. Again, thank you all so much for the videos, they're always a highlight of my days 😊
The Cadeaux has brought us a lot of joy. The generous gifts have been so fun to see. Happy New Year to you all. Keep each other close . You never know what is around the corner. My husband was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Glioblastoma in October while we were away in England visiting family. We took him to the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St.Edmunds. They were absolutely amazing. We came home and he has begun his treatment. We remain positive . Enjoy every day, laugh every day and never take anything for granted. Your clogs have replaced my tears with smiles. We had always hoped to visit your chateau one day. If we are the lucky ones hopefully we can.
Shelley and Bob
I’m sorry at your news and wish you and your dear husband many more days together. ❤️❤️
Cadeaux will be missed. It has been glorious and inspiring to witness the generosity and joy in giving and receiving. Thank you to you all for this precious time. You do good, Steph…..and it is so appreciated. Love to you all ❤
Yeah ❤
Stephanie, you miss nothing...I think we must be related...your Uncle with the squeaky chair...I noticed the noise and you brought it to life...hilarious! I am so glad you're doing daily vlogs now, because I will miss Chateau Unwrapped so much!
😂😂😂
Will miss cadeau! I've watched them all. Michael T is talented and sends the best gifts! Love his poems!
I love your aunt and uncle's relationship. They are so sweet together.
Merci de nous avoir invités à participer au plaisir de découvrir tous ces cadeaux ainsi que la générosité des abonnés amoureux de La Lande .
Absolutely lovely last cadeaux! I smiled, laughed, and cried all in one vlog. I, like all, will miss sharing the joy of opening the gifts of la lande. I hope if you get more stories/letters from Michael that you will share them with us. ❤
Dear Stephanie and Lovely Lalanders, thank you so much for opening my gifts to you at the final Cadeaux at the Chateau. Love, Suibets.
I am so sadden that its over...thank you for sharing all the beautiful gifts with all of us Cateaux at the Chateau will be emensely missed
❤❤❤
I found this way too late! But me and my husband have been enjoying this extra long Christmas special. Thank you for the company on New Year's Eve.
I wish I had known about this chance earlier so I could have sent you a Peacock painting to replace the lovely fox painting. Well, maybe me and my husband will visit and then I WILL "forget" a painting in the room.... 😂❤❤❤❤
I’ll miss the joy and surprise in your faces as you open gifts. Thank you for your support of so many wonderful organizations!
Always fun to view the gifts on this show. It’s nice to know people are generous and ask for nothing in return.
Echo Heron is one of my favorite authors. She was a nurse for over 25 or 30 years, then became an author... I have read every one of her books except this one... I never knew about this one........ I'm going right now to get it.... Thank you..
I have loved watching you all at Chateau' de Lalande. I have watched every video from your 2, 3, 4 channels...( I've lost count, but watch them all). I love them all and will continue to watch....
Happy New Year !!!
What that means 🎉❤
We feel you all are our family too. We're secretly hoping that when you tour Biltmore in Asheville, you'll have time for a meet and greet with your nearby loving "aunts, uncles, and siblings" in North Carolina! We cannot say how much we love supporting your lovely home and for that, getting to know each of you as friends. What a blessing. I'm sorry, yet glad you will end cadeaux. Makes some sense. It has continued long enough, surely, for you to have deep understanding and knowledge of the depth of love and devotion we, the world of La Landers hold for you all. I sent you and Isabelle your first little battery-operated fan for your travels. And some claw gloves for Mummy to use in her jardin. Sending love.
I have a feeling, even though Chateau Unwrapped is sadly ending, channel revenue will continue for years to come as new people discover and enjoy these wonderful videos. 💝
What a journey this has been. With a little sadness but also joy the final episode of cadeau has arrived. It was wonderful to see the amazing personalised gifts and having Stephanie model outfits that usually fitted her to perfection. Phillip with his puns & jokes made it even more a fixture on my "must watch" videos. Thank-you for such a special & entertaining vlog.💗🎁
If Michael T ever sends more poems or fun notes could you read them in the Chateau Diaries? Especially if there during holidays. They're so creative! I'm going to miss them. I hope he comes to the chateau, so we can all meet him!
I will miss the Chateau Unwrapped. The gifts were always generous, many were heartfelt, lots were warm and cozy, some were practical, a few were artistic; but each one whether it arrived in one piece or broken to bits was given with love. 💕 It was humbling to be a part of this. Thank you.
It's nice that Stephanie's generosity included giving a platform & a boost to new artistic businesses!❤ & Michael T. should compile a book of all of his poems!❤
Thank you for this channel and the charities you supported. I hope you keep this channel up so ppl can re-visit their own cadeaux they sent as well as a part of chateau history.
😂😂😂 That amazing ❤
Yes, it would be wonderful for more people to discover and enjoy the channel! And more possibilities for charity donations. 👏🏻👏🏻😍
@@jennifercampbell7698 Cadeaux has come to an end. I meant to keep that channel open so that those who have been sending gifts can walk down memory lane and see the opening of their gifts again.
@@sc0ttishlass Yes, I know. If it’s kept open views will still generate income.
Your auntie is such a fashionable dresser.
Your uncle is a sharp dresser also.
They are darling.
Amazing achievement!!!
Always a joy to watch the Cadeaux! Such generosity and friendship! Much love to all of you!
Love Lancelot still settling in my French Bulldog who has no bark (or bite!) just snuffles,snorts and breaks wind! Best for New Year to all!
Glad that’s all your sweet puppers breaks. 😂 They’re so precious. ❤
Thanks all at LA Lande for dedication and love you give all around the globe 🌎 your charity knows no bounds! For the peacocks, the chickens and sheep to the gorgeous generous Stephanie and Philip, Micheal and elusive Nick to all their families, to the friends of and at La Lande i wish you all much happiness and a prosperous new year
.. i will miss cadeaux...
However will look forward to your further adventures!
Yes i saw the look between Stephanie and Philip for the fund raising ideas with the bookmarks that could include the chapels beautiful windows. This would be epic. 🎉😂 😍 it is farewell not goodbye love to all and very happy new year! 🎉🎉🎉
Your aunt and uncle are standouts!
It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of this channel and seeing all the wonderful gifts 🎁 Have a wonderful New Year Everyone 🪅🎊🪅
❤👏😢
Words fail to express my heart filled with gratitude to all who have shared their stories through the letters and gifts that have been shown on this channel. Thankyou . I hope we all meet someday.🤗
What fun this has been! It’s brought joy and tears! Thank you for using this as funding mechanism for all the the charities that you have supported.God bless you your team.
This video is a fantastic send off. I personally love Molly taking part and I adore Lancelot. I just want to give a shout out to the chickens, the sheep, Ruby.. happy Christmas to all the animals
It’s is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Cadeau 😢❤ It has been such an delightful experience to see the love & generosity of people across the world. The joy it brought to all at LaLande & to us watching. Thank you Stephanie, Philip Nattie & all who made the series so amazing. I held it together until Michael T final box was opened 😭 I do hope he comes to visit you one day, so we can see him. I do hope his name is on one of those golden stars🌟in the chapel of St Joseph. What a wonderful man. Thank you to everyone who made this unique & very special series possible. Much love to you all 🥰❤️🌟😢
You have all given so generously, its been amazing how many organisations and charities you have sponsored. I have watched since Cadeaux first started and wouldn't have missed it for the world. Looking forward to seeing many more Chateau diary episodes and know that many more people will be inspired by you all. All the best for 2024 xx
Thank you for all the generous gifts you have provided to so many worthy causes through Cadeau. It was fun and will be missed.
A great finale to a wonderful channel. It has been like a curio cabinet through covid and beyond. I'm so appreciative of your efforts in sharing the love with donations.
Such beautiful items you all received !! It’s always a joy watching you all opening gifts from all over the world!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!
This has been great fun and a blessing during the past 3 years. So blessed to have had fun with you and those who are generous to you and yours. This has always been so much fun to see what people share with you. Onward to new adventures.
Very amazing ❤
Well I have enjoyed all the Cadeaux at the Chateau and it will be missed,we all have to see what the next journey brings take care everyone and Happy New Year to you all 🎉🥂💕🌼🤗
A pillow sham is actually a decorative cover for a bed pillow. It is not used as a pillowcase, and is removed when the pillow, and case, are to be used for sleep.
I have really loved watching Cadeaux and will miss it. I am so happy my gifts were opened on this very last one. I hope you enjoy them. Thanks!❤ Sherri
Me too❤🎉
This whole experience watching this channel has been an amazing uplifting chapter I appreciate everyone who participated so so much thank you!!!
What a pleasure it's been to share in the good times during all these many, many weeks of Cadeaux at the Chateau. I'm sure we all have many wonderful memories to treasure and carry forward to keep us smiling. It's also knowing that the monetization of the videos has helped deserving charities make a difference in people's lives. Thank you for such a special opportunity to contribute as I was able.
You have sent many incredibly generous gifts over the years but what I have loved most are your writings. Hope you send a few more and Stephanie reads them out. She narrates a very good story.
Lovely. Thank you for sharing all the arts and crafts, beautiful books, and the many talents and expertise of the donors.
I loved the sneaky hand holding. Beautiful. My huband and I end up holding hands during the night.
Me also ❤
The book about Alexander the great is by a the famous Danish sculpter Thorvaldsen. He has a complete museum in the centre of Copenhagen. Lots of love to you all ❤
Thank you for the help you have given the many charities. I will miss watching these.
Stephanie & Philip and the entire family & crew - Thanks so much for all the fun! And I'm sure you all had a wonderful Holiday Season! Wishing all at LaLande a wonderful and most successful 2024!
And a note on the "PILLOW SHAM" you received: in the U.S. we also use the term "pillowcase" just as you do. A "PILLOW SHAM" is a more decorative pillow cover for a made-up bed and comes as a pair that's typically included in a package of a matching set along with maybe two pillowcases, a fitted and flat sheet and a duvet/comforter or bedspread or some variations of this package. The fabric in a pillow sham may be heavier and is not meant to be used to lay your head on very time you sleep on your bed nor laundered as often as you would your regular pillowcase and sheets. A sham usually has a border edge that makes it larger than a pillowcase all around. ❤👍
Sometimes shams are zipped on, or folded on like a pre-folded envelope around a paper letter, because they don’t need to be removed very often.
So much laughter in this cadeaux! Thank you!
We could never thank you enough for all the love you provided to all of us, for all the laughter and for all the stories and outfit changes with each gift that came. For the earring changes and new brooches that appeared and the funny and lovely ornaments that you shared, we thank you. We will miss you all so much because it truly felt like we were there with you enjoying the fire and perhaps a cup of tea while eating a chocolate or biscuit with you. Thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us, you are truly a gift from heaven to all of us. May you continue to fulfill your dreams and we hope we get to see a little snip of it, if only you care to share it. Many blessings to you all. And kisses to Molly and Lancelot🐶🐶
Just wanted to say how proud I am of you all for sharing this gift to us. I think I can say for all of us viewers we have enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much. We will miss this part of your journey but are very thankful for everything else we get to see. Xoxo
I have tears streaming down my face at the revelation that your final donation is to an animal charity.When the announcement was made to end cadeaux I messaged asking if this could be so and have prayed that you would find it in your hearts to help abused and unwanted animals in France and my prayers have just been answered.Thank you,God bless you and Happy New Year to all ❤
I agree. There are so many abandoned animals in France. I give every month to animal web action in France, and I live in the US. It breaks my heart to see so many in need of desperate vet care, food, homes and love....
These stories from Michael T would make lovely books for children. Please if you get more stories from Michael T please read them out to us..
Michael T. , You are an incredible, generous and creative person. 💖
thank you for giving us so much joy with this vlogs, will be truly missed
Thank you Stephanie and Philip for all the work that you have done to share this channel with the world. It has been such a joy to watch. Wishing you health and happiness in the coming year.. 🕊
I have never missed a Cadeaux and have loved every episode. So happy that the charities chosen received donations. Happy New Year to all!! ❤️
I think we should continue with Michael's story time ❤
Oh Eamon, your letter brought tears to my eyes 😢 God bless you and give you the strength to get through the coming time. Sending much love, all the way from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤
I have never missed a single Cadeaux and have enjoyed them all. I look forward to the Chateau Diaries and other projects you and your Chateau friends & family will produce in 2024! Thank you and Happy New Year.
Watching this in New Zealand on New Year's eve... am half way through and there is an hour left of 2023 :) Thanks for all these videos, the sharing and the caring feelz are rampant! Wishes for a happy, fulfilling and prosperous 2024 for us all. 💜
Happy New now! I'm reading this in Ottawa, Canada at 7:45 a.m. ET on December 31st. Every year, we love watching the first celebratory fireworks from your part of the world.
Lovely ❤❤🎉
I'm so happy to see you open the package that my mom and I sent you ❤ today I will miss watching this vlog every day..
Sorry to see this channel end, I’ve enjoyed watching all the videos and marvelling at the creativity of the gifts sent. Happy New Year, enjoy a wonderful 2024 💐💕🇦🇺🎇
Thanks for letting us in and enjoy all your gifts with you and your family and friends. It has been so interesting as if we were there with you. Tonight I just loved watching Amaury and his dog - they are such sops for each other. Nattie has found someone special.
This has been an epic final Cadeaux! So joyful with such beautiful, thoughtful gifts, but bittersweet too with it coming to a close. Looking forward more than ever to the weekly diaries. Don’t know what I’d do without my La Lande cup of joy everyday🥰Thank you so much for all that you do to make our lives a little brighter. All of you are such amazing people. Happy Happy New Years 2024. Blessings to mummy and Percy and only good health too. Merci🥰♥️
Really beautiful ❤🎉
It’s always been a pleasure to watch this vlog. Thank you for sharing it with the world and giving back to the people.
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
So Long, Farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu
Adieu, Adieu, To You and You and You
🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Thank You🌹
What a lovely video to end the Cadeaux at the Chateau! It will be missed. We do have much to look forward to in the New Year.
(I noticed someone was drinking water instead of an adult beverage. hmmm....????)
Happy New Year to everyone! May the new year be filled with Peace, Happiness, Love and Health to all!
That was gin! Hahah
Pillow shams are different from pillowcases. The go over the pillowcase to adorn the bed during the day. Sometimes put on a second pillow that sits on the bed during the day but off the bed at night. Shams are more decorative. 🥰 🛌 🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦
I will be interested in the charities recently donated.
As a side note, pillow shams are considered more of a decorative bedding accessory than a truly functional pillow though they can be used however you wish. They can be used as a backing behind standard pillows or set up in front when the actual sleeping pillows are covered by a duvet. I'm just finding out that in Europe pillow shams (Euro shams) are often square and used as a decorative accessory as a throw pillow would be on a sofa. You may be fashion innovators in Europe with your king size pillow shams!
What a beautiful Goodbye, So looking forward to your 2024 adventures and fun .Thank you all .
Happy New Year to all of you! Thank you for the Joy that you have given us over the years! Cadeaux will be missed but we can understand it has come to an end. Celebrate the new year with “gusto”. 🥂👍🥰
Bravo, Lalanders! That was a fantastic run. I've loved every bit of it. Bringing joy and helping others is its own reward, but it's still a bittersweet end that we've reached.
I'll miss John's clever tales and his generous and thoughtful gifts. I love seeing the utter joy on someone's face when they're opening amazing presents, so John's were especially delightful. It was clear he'd given them so much thought.
Hélas! In future, we'll never know if some exquisite Lalande furnishing came with a clever rhyme or tale.
Over the last few years I've seen so many lovely treasures sent from all over the world in hope of finding a home where they would still be appreciated. I'm confident that most of them have.👍
I've never watched a vlog that elicited such intense emotional responses from me as Cadeaux at the Château. This one had me bawling more than once. That's a hard thing to see end without some sadness.
I'll miss the delight on Stephanie's face even when she opens those less than glamorous trucs.
My only regret of the Cadeaux at the Château vlog was the recurring negativity over the good fortune of the Lalanders. It did become tedious after a while. Personally, the windfall never bothered me. I suspect the gifts will continue to arrive at the Château as they did before Cadeaux. So from my purely selfish perspective, now I'm deprived of witnessing their joy because jealous whiners have to spoil everything they become involved with. Every party needs a pooper...
So I prefer to end on a more positive note, "Thank you", especially to Stephanie, for bringing so many loving and giving people together to benefit their fellowmen. That was no small amount of money that was raised for numerous charities. Thank you for bringing light into the world.
We'll see you in The Château Diaries!
❤ from TX!
