Molly has been such a good girl this year.
Can she have her Christmas presents on film please.
Greetings from England
Maria is so, so talented and efficient!! A real gem. Those flower arrangements are beautiful!
colorful for christmas.
Stephanie you need to purchase two back lift belts for the guys to prevent their backs!!!!!!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
Prevent their backs 😮???
Love seeing Curtis and his husband at lalande with all you beautiful people. Love all your energy and excitement. It's wonderful to feel part of it watching everyday I love it.
with curfews, is he going to be stranded there. lol
I have a great idea for the green wooden Christmas tree that was in mummy’s bathroom last year 2021. Screw in small hooks at the end of each branch and then you can hang baubles/ornaments from each little hook. It will bring new life! Perhaps a woodland creature tree or squirrels and hedgehogs! 😉
I know why Stephanie's favorite spot in the whole castle is that narrow passage in the attic with mirrors on either side, she feels exactly like a Chanel model in the 1960's with Mademoiselle Chanel puffing on her cigarettes at the top of the stairs....
Good to see Curtis and Fillipo, just a merry time. Decorations I love. Stephanie and Phillip you have some good help there. Natie and Amuary, Marie, lovely video.
The new bath looks great, you should put LED lights above each shelf in the niches. Then light can showcase what ever you put the shelf plus it could serve as a night light. Cheers Kirk
Realy Stephanie, you should put a walk through closet where the door is ... for the real Narnia feel :-)
As an Italian living abroad I almost cried when I saw the Esselunga boxes :) ragazzi siete stupendi ❤️
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋👋👋
Esselunga rules
So glad they’re here Such great cooks and so kind and generous
Trees around the fountain! 😻
I fully understand Stephanie’s excitement about storage! There is nothing better than being organised 😊
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
When you put the lights away after Christmas, you should wrap the various sets around parts of the lids of all of the boxes you get in Cadeaux, then put them in rows back in that trunk or somewhere in Narnia.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋👋
I use rectangles of cardboard with notches on the edge to wrap lights. Saves lots of time. Would love a Narnia attic to help with organization
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
In true Italian fashion he bring all the goods for an Italian feast .
Oh the Aloysius book... I purchased the book last year and read it for our Thanksgiving guests this year. I enjoy telling everybody I know about the Chateau Diaries and all the cast of characters.
I too purchased the Aloysius book last year! Keep it right next to my area of the Living Room that I enjoy best of all, and do show guests and also tell them about Lalande. It is great having a part of LaLande with you, I feel. It is the best I can do, and not maybe too much but I feel closer to everyone just having it here.
WOW!! WELL DONE! APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE. adore the wardrobes!
Hello how are you doing ?
15 years ago I say crochet snowflakes on Ebay. I think it was a Canadian lady. I ended up buying about 250 of them. They make a beautiful christmas tree. I combine then all the time with white and clear baubles or wit green ones, on theur owns with garland of tiny snowballs. And best of all they all fit in one shoebox!
Amury is always so helpful!!, and so handsome….. did I mention handsome??
Love Curtis, he is such a dramatic, cheeky, wonderful, interesting addition.
Amaury's innuendos, classic.
Amoury does a perfect 7 year old boy in trouble face when questioned then calls out for backup from Dan! You guys absolutely make my day with each episode!
I love that Amaury also appreciates beauty and has a creative eye along with his many talents.
I was wondering yesterday about a radiator update? For the holiday guests.
The whole system needs a reboot so instead of doing patches they will be doing the whole thing from scratch in the new year.
Saw your lights when you take them down wrap around large piece of card
Hmm. I'm envisioning Narnian wallpaper all around the walls in the attic! Fauns and little woodland animals, and a white witch on a sleigh!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Ah, dogs complete everything! I love the bedroom and tree so much, and the bouquets Maria created are beautiful!! ♥️
That attic can hold a lot more armorers
It's beginning to feel like Christmas 🎄
Hello how are you doing ?
Lovely to see Curtis and Fillipo! I love to see how you celebrate the holidays.
If you wrap the lights around a piece of card, they don't tangle and are easy to use next time, plus, they store better like your trims do, flat! Someone gave me the idea and now I'm passing that on as you have the same problem as I once had :0)... Oh bum, just as I wrote this Stehanie said same lol lol x
Curtis and Filippo are an amazing couple, I love them, so sweet and generous. Their room was done beautifully and the flowers were fabulous. You are a great chautelain Stephanie!!! La Lande is a festive and joyous place always but the holidays are over the top magical!!!!❤
Aaaahh, now that there are dogs at La Lande I feel like it is complete. I'm a dog mumma and I just love their presence, wherever possible. A beautiful joyful episode, once again. Every second of it!
Kirsti is so cute. The boys tell a good story
Hello how are you doing ?
Its lovely to have your guests arrive.
What fun to have the Christmas guest arrive.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
@@bryanjaon2550 yes we are fine here in NC. Covid is low and we are venturing out more
@@1231ms54 Hi from Charlotte.😁🍭❤🌺🌹
@@1231ms54 Where are you from if I may ask?
You're happy day came through to me. Thank you.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
You could also do shelves with clear plastic tubs that are labeled until you get the rest of the wardrobes in!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there 😁🙏😐👋
Love seeing Ryan Woodstock as I also love his vlogs from Tuscany he is sooo interesting and handsome
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋🙏
Dan: "I'm never ever coming here again."
You get roped into so much more than gardening! Hope you're paid on spec, and not by the hour.
Yes he is a consultant. Oops Contractor.🤣❤
How exciting to see all the new arrivals and all the treats... and believe you still have trees to do, can’t wait to see them all finished.......oh bye the way I’m WATCHING Yes my eyes are positive they spied something..........Donna in Toronto
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe?
All I want to do is gush and praise!! So fun and beautiful! Thank you!
I hate to make more work for Dan :) but I think the mirrored wardrobes should be in the more open area so that people have space to look at themselves when trying on pieces from the costume cupboards.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe??
After the holidays you will have to wind the lights around some stiff board ready for next year to make things easier. So many wardrobes. Love all the trimmings
A busy exciting day for you all, so many wonderful goodies from Italy.
Love Amory’s attitude with completing “Narnia,” and of course there’s Dan being Dan lol!
thought you were in a "hall of mirrors" when you where first in the attic lol. When you pack the lights away, use a coat hanger to wrap the lights around, it keeps them in order. Its all looking lovely
Hello how are you doing ?
Love Narnia! A little concerned about the weight on the floor! Lol
Same, but I think Amaury would see, if it was a risk.
Ian reinforced the floor and put insulation in the main part of the attic this year. They can put a whole apartment up there some day in the new cleared out space.😁🍭❤🌺🌹🥂
So wonderful to see that Curtis and Fillipo are joining everyone at LaLande. Their room looks so festive and inviting!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
Cheers to Stephanies wall of wardrobes!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
So much wonderfulness at Lalande!!!🎄🎄🎄🥂
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ?
Time to create the Christmas story of the Robin in the Wardrobe 🎄
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
You need to get large long strips of cardboard to wrap the lights around so they don't tangle up like that.
Oh yay! My fave crossover of 2021! So great to see ye there Curtis and Filippo!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
ooooooooOOOooo.. saw a glimpse of the courtyard... looking interesting?
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
It's getting very exciting..!!
Oh, there are trees in the front yard. Very nice❤️
Okay so my extra suggestions for the full narnia effect if you want to do the victorian lamp post etc... you need to turn the old bathroom into a secret dressing room (for people trying out fancy dress options) with a small heater and winter forest wallpaper, but hide the doorway to it inside a wardrobe full of fur coats with the back removed.... and you need to find a way to sneak in a painting of an old ship in a storm somewhere in the big room hehe
On a practical note while you still have space, can I suggest putting an old table and chairs up there somewhere so you all have a surface to rest boxes on or pile up the things you need to take downstairs without putting it all on the floor or always crouching down?
I love this idea!
another great vlog
@@bryanjaon2550 we were safe with our moat up but now they are letting the mainlander’s into our little Isle, we already have 3 infections again! Which isn’t much compared to the rest of the world but we had none.
@@bryanjaon2550 Tasmania. I live on a farm at Pipers River. It's a lovely place, but alas not a chateau in sight!! Just cows and sheep and vineyards!!
@@bryanjaon2550 wow you have moved around. I too have Irish ancestry. My grandmother was a Flanagan and her mother an Irwin. My daughter recently had to do some ancestry tracing for a history assignment at school and we discovered that her x7 removed grandmother is buried up the road in the Pipers River burial yard!! This is so weird because we only moved here to Pipers River 15years from Newcastle NSW. It really is a small world.
@@bryanjaon2550 one can never have too many friends in this world, How would you like to do this?
I love Curtis! He has the definitive quote: "If you do not know who Stephanie Jarvis is, you have not done the pandemic right!" I borrow that line often..😊
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
you have a pantry , we haven't seen the room of requirement !
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there🙏🙏🙏🙏
Narnia is wonderful.
Loved watching as normal, Nice to see the Chateau filling up for Noel x
So festive each day!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ?
Have you considered finding a place to plant your own Christmas trees to save some money? Close to a road for easy access.
All the wardrobes in the attic ( Narnia ) seems more like wardrobegate, but that really is an impressive collection of wardrobes magical.
I love your narnia. It's like a , 'Walk in Wardrobe of Wardrobes x
I store my Christmas lights by wrapping them around pieces of cardboard and taping the ends. That way they don’t get all tangled.
I had a permanent smile on my face watching you all this morning. I always watch your videos first thing in the morning as I prep breakfast for the family and prepping my children’s pack lunches for school. How I wish we were there with you all!
Did anyone else notice all the ORBS on top of the stairs, aka attic? (4:30 on) You really have a full house of guests... Sending prayers and blessings! God bless you all!
Omg as a paranormal enthusiast I'm intrigued, that's alot of orbs or insects???😱🤔
@@Karime70 I am so glad that I wasn't the only one thinking that! they look like orbs to me! (lol) Stef knows the chateau is haunted already, They must be fun loving spirits too!
I was thinking someone should really do a good dust! 😂
“It’s actually easy to tell if your house is haunted or not. It isn’t.” _Jimmy Carr_
Curtis and Fillipo yay! All the wonderful gifts from Italy ! Their adorable pup! Amaury is such a calm , positive person ! Looking forward to meeting his parents . Another great vlog!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
omg!! one can not have too many wardrobes- I loved them all.

WOW! They walked in with boxes of groceries! Just put any of my Hostess Gifts to shame.
What great guests you get ,with all the gifts 🎁 x love Narnia
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
Loved seeing your gracious guests arriving with their beautiful pups. Y'all have a wonderful Christmas! ⛄🎄
I love, love Narnia de Lalande!!
Enjoyed all the festive preparations. Where are all of your Christmas aprons? Everyone working in the kitchen should be wearing one. 😊❤️🎄
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋👋
I needed this today! Living on an island near Canada and the power goes out what do you do...you watch The Chateau Diaries!!
A ton of orbs while discussing how move the wardrobe upstairs…👻
I love 💕 the vases on the fire places. And, the 💐 are 🤩.
Love the tree Philip decorated. Love tacos too. Blessings.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋😐
I love all of the wardrobes there fabulous and I’m thinking you can never have enough of them lol 😂 excesses is best
Stephanie I have to say im going to revamp my chandelier shades and put my own fabric on them and the fabric is yellow and a dark blue lol I got the idea from when you and Philip did the lampshades there so thank you both 🥰
Grumpy Dan in action 🤣😎🤣 i loved the cosy get together on the sofa with gin tonics😍😍😍
You can get good corn tortillas in Europe that are vacuum packed. Then you could have a great taco night!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Enjoyed. Love all the wardrobes! Fun video! Nice to see friends return to LaLande. Love to all ❤
So funny, one Italian in the house and it turns into a chaos!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it.
Love your Father Christmas ear rings, and your friends lovely cats jumper, it is stunning. Her flower arrangements are beautiful too.
Wow! Fiesta seasoning....all the way from Texas!!!!!!!! I use nothing but! Very impressed!
I feel like I'm part of this group. I wait all day for these. Thank you Lalanders!
It’s a real community feeling. I think Stephanie’s ability to see so much beauty and joy in life is contagious
After Christmas wrap all your lights around a piece of cardboard no more tangling
I’ve been binge watching Curtis’ channel! He is amazing! He makes a wonderful gingerbread! I feel like him being at the Chateau for Christmas is a secret Santa gift for me! Thank you all so much
The flowers look lovely. Remember to store them in water until they go in plenty of water, in their respective bouquets, so they last longer.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there😐😐👋
A new expression: "to wardrobe an attic". Really good carpet in Bonne Mamam!
I saw the carpet as well. It was beautiful.
I hope the attic floor and beams are strong enough to hold all the weight of those filled wardrobes, especially when the china is put in them.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋😐😐
Just wrap around a old magazine to store lights
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there?
Ohhh, and perhaps one of those handy dandy gentleman around you could install some track lighting above the wardrobe areas. 😉
I have just finished binge watching every episode of Chateau Diaries. I absolutely love Stephanie and all who inhabit LaLande. Thank you for sharing your lives with us all. All I want now is to come and visit to immerse myself in all things LaLande. Oh no! No more multiple daily episodes to watch. Thank god for the Advent Calendar.
I just realize Aumury looks like Isabelle ❤️
His parents are coming for Christmas so we will see if his mother looks like Isabelle
😁❤🍭🌹🌺
im coming there one day. Hope it can be at Christmas time. Im looking forward to Christmas with you at Narnia.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe ??
It's like Christmas every day at the Chateau! I wish I was there. Those chocolates, yum. I've never heard Stephanie so hyper! Lovely visitors. I second wanting to meet Amaury!
