The lady who was doing sheep sheering is an animal healer! Is she didn’t know that yet that it’s the high time she knows. The way she was with sheep was so beautiful and full of love - the sheep just relaxed in her arms and let her do whatever she wanted. She is a beautiful Soul and I would love to get to know her. Stephanie - you are a truly lucky to have this lady around.
Dan is working with classic permaculture principles! Plants with symbiotic relationships make all the plants stronger, enhance the soil and over time require less water and fertilizer and are more productive.
Yes!!! This! Exactly, so pleased to see such lovely support for Dan’s plans. Gardeners need to think outside the box, ( or in this case, inside the Box) 😂 especially considering the extremes in climate we are experiencing these days. Go Dan!
A vote from a patron - don't aim to make your chateau super-elegant. The fact that you inherited wallpapers and kept them contributes to the charming eclecticism of your home. The chateaux you have recently visited are working hotels, remember, and it's appropriate that they might choose to be over-the-top. My opinion is that one could not live long-term in those rooms. Some of the other vlogs about ETTCDIY participants, on the other hand, show rooms which seem quite unfinished. Your rooms are neither OTT nor unfinished. Stick with that balance, Goldilocks, and your rooms will be "just right".
The Stephanie we love has in her personality the urge to improve, improve and perfect, perfect. She's an amazing woman but luckily she has more practical and down to earth people around her. It will all work out 🙏🏻💜🏰✨
La lands is very special , bohemian may be but so full of fun, love and laughter. Don’t try and be too much like the chateau you stayed at last week as lovely as it was it is not you. At the same time it is nice to see you are getting organised with the help of all your friends. Love you all.
I totally agree. Stephanie's decorating style is perfect for her and it is nice to be different than everyone else. I love the free spirit of her decor. It is beautiful.
Lalande is of the arts, creativity, the individual. Other venues seem quite slick and corporate; just what some of our mega American companies are looking for to have conferences, all about the "team" not the individual.
Dear Stephanie , the joy of having a new video to watch from the chateau it is incredibly wonderful . Full of happy nice , kind and loving peoples. Wow ! They all say the same thing to you , but you are a little sunshine in my life with all those that live with you are so specials , as your gardener said Stephanie is so lucky , but you all are because you are,togethere . Thankyou especialy to the sweet lady that did the sheeps with so much love . And Philip that share his love of the wild life , and Cat dearest Cat just being herself and our darling Naty coming back . Younhave all become my expanding family, we just need the scott man and Mammy and Percy and it will be complete happiness . THANKYOU Stephanie without your dream it would not be possible
@@kathleensmith8365 slick and corporate... The very words I felt when touring Romania, the Airbnb ''castle-like'' buildings we stayed were gutted and turned into a travelling businessman hotel room. 💔 I understand the pros of easily cleaning/sterilisation and upkeep but the original magic was near non-existent.
The sheep shearing music was great. My favorite comment “ How many onesies do you have? A LOT of onesies, they are critical.” I love life at LaLande. Pumpkins in the roses. The native Americans in our area taught the Pilgrims the “Three Sisters “. method of planting. First a fish for fertilizer, then the corn. When the corn is 12 inches tall plant the pole beans, they will use the corn to climb. A week later plant small leaf squash (pumpkin is a squash but may be to vigorous). The leaves of the squash will help in weed prevention. Dan is innovative using a rose bed I’ll be so interested to see it working.
I also learned visiting colonial Williamsburg that the roots of the corn give off a substance that is critical to the growth of the beans and vice versa! Makes them perfect garden companions!
I love Dan's free style of gardening. And actually using veggies in the landscape is not uncommon in the states. Laura from Garden Answers often pops in pumpkins in her beds as space filler. Great idea!!
I couldn’t help thinking how nice the Burmese fabrics would look in a South African home! The new fabric storage system is brilliant. Thanks for the Tuesday woodland animal show, Philip!
I cannot and will not believe DanTheGardener has done anything wrong ... just not possible. He is an absolute treasure. Hope we get an update on poor ole Spud. Perhaps his attack will bring 'Chickenopolis' higher up the 'to do list'. Looking forward to tonights (and every nights) episode
The Burmese fabrics might be gorgeous as decoration/ in around /the future pool & poolhouse. I realize that is some time in the future but what’s another year or two before they would gloriously decorate a summery poolside area? The colours are gorgeous!
@@nelsonfamily8578: she might be able to find a bale of cedar chips (used as pet bedding/litter) and just fill some ankle socks or knee highs.....then just hang them from a ribbon, or slip them inside the drawers
Mothballs are pretty much only effective in sealed storage containers like sterelite (plastic) tubs. Cedar oil can be toxic to moths/larvae but it needs to be in high quantities and the wood must be refreshed by periodic sanding, and it eventually dries out. Best course of action in terms of prevention and mitigation is to thoroughly inspect and vacuum/scrub the furniture, and to wash the clothes and fabric (which they appear to be doing w/ the clothes at least, which is great because any kind of sweat/skin oils/stains attracts the pest). Periodic emptying and vacuuming out inside and under/behind the wardrobes afterwards will also help. I recently dealt with an uptick in carpet beetles in my closet and dresser. It was gross, but dismantling the dresser and wiping down every inch is what did it for me. I washed everything inside. And i sprayed the carpet at my baseboards and the corners/edges/nail holes of the dresser with pesticide after cleaning for peace of mind. I think I’ll use lavender sachets in my drawers and closet because some pests are repelled by strong smelling herbs. And even if carpet beetles and clothes moths aren’t one of them, it will make my clothes smell great!
Oh my. I can only think of one thing that makes me “smile” about moth balls and it’s a dirty little joke about them. I loathe the smell of them. Cedar panel lined cabinets are very good… lavender… bay leaves… line shelf with scented drier sheets… anything other than the balls 😳 would do 😉 You can never really get the smell out of any fabric that is stored with them. But very good idea to do something to keep out the moths and such out 👍
I love the woodland watch too...I think a narrative from Phillip would be brilliant. I'm sure he knows lots of stories to tell about his little forest friends ;-)
I think the pumpkin idea is brilliant! You won’t see them down low…and the dual purpose of ground cover is brilliant! Dueling gardeners..Dan and Davey! You guys are awesome!
Watching this late. Could the size of the material be written on the piece of cardboard it is being wrapped around,? Love the idea of storing them on their side!
We used to do exactly that for certain fabrics at the little town fabric shop I used to work at when I was about 15. For the lighter and smaller rolls we could just count the layers and figure how much was left. (this was in the US in the mid-80's so we were working in inches and yards.. which seems so weird now that I've lived abroad since 1988.
I do the same sort of thing but fold mine around my 24”x8” acrylic ruler. Then I slide the ruler out fold the “bolt” in half and stack. I might worry a bit about oils in the cardboard leaking into the fabrics. The most important part is consistency of size as then everything stacks together well.
I love how Dan does gardening. He is so good and very practical at what he does. And I love the pond.... but if you bury it so the ground is almost level with the rim.... you will have frogs in there in no time... brilliant for the garden. x
I always like when the sheep get sheered but the accompanying music this year was hilarious! And Nick’s plan worked so well! Kirsty was amazing with them although there was that part when Aloysius looked like he was gonna head butt her but thankfully didn’t 😆. Can’t wait to see Dan’s plan come together. The grounds look gorgeous and so manicured. The courtyard is amazing - especially those purple pom poms around the fountain. La Lande is so vibrant and alive when there are lots of people around!
That one darling ewe looked like she’d fallen asleep in Kirstie’s arms as if after having a massage! Remarkable. I always look forward to sheep wrangling day- it cracks me up! Much more organized this year- no laps around the chateau! Perhaps they knew a spa treatment was coming. 🐏🐑
Dan The Gardener is epic, SO funny, and I’m absolutely loving his vlog. It’s great to see he’s now showing his humor in these videos as well. The return of Woodland Wildlife! It doesn’t get any better than that! It’s 2:30 AM here and I truly am LOL. Thank you Philip, and thanks to you Stephanie for also shining the spotlight on the inhabitants of Lelande.
How's progress on the downstairs Loo? Haven't seen Selmar in awhile. Loved the Nati love fest !! so happy she is back in the fold. Sheep sheering went so much smoother than in the past. A nice water pond in the garden with perhaps some Koi fish would be splendid ...
Organizing your fabrics is my favorite part, though the lovely pieces Davy brought are quite exciting. Progress is being made by all of you. The shepardess did such a good job and gentle with your sheep. They behaved better.
Stephanie, I stored my daughter’s Play Mobile home just like yours in an area similar to what you are doing. The heat in the area where it was stored yellowed every white piece in the set and I discovered they were no longer replaceable. Put some fans in the space to run during the summers to keep it cool up there if you are not installing air conditioners. I don’t want you to lose your as we did. Please....
Love Dan's experiments. Depending on how big a root system those roses have, it could work well if the pumpkins have space to put down roots, and the roses don't suck out all the moisture.
A wonderful, happy-making video!! Dan, as always, brings laughter!! Sarah & Cat together in an organizing frenzy!! (so happy Cat is home!!). And, finally, Davy, a gracious and sweet man, bearing precious gifts from his parents and grandparents!! Stephanie, you are one blessed girl!!! USA
Oh, how I giggle! I'm so happy watching everyone working throughout the chateau but a little sad when it's over. I look forward to seeing what Devilish Dan comes up with next or what Cat organizes and who will show up on the woodland forest show. I think I shall watch it all again and smile some more!!
Way to go Dan with your gardening tactics! I love what you're doing with the organization in the attic...great idea using cardboard to keep fabrics in place! Welcome back Cat and Nati! All is well with the world at La Lande!
Love, love, loved this vlog. I had a smile on my dial the whole time watching the industry of these beautiful souls. Sarah and Cat brilliant job on the material storage! Makes a lot of sense to wrap them and store vertically 🧡 Steve! lifting the sheep over the pen 💪 and they were so sweet ambling away in a line. See you all next time. 🥰🕊
Kirsty was brilliant with the sheep. Of course Dan did a fabulous job with the wild area. I loved what Sarah & Cat did with the fabrics-I think use all of those rolls of wallpaper or whatever they were in the through out pile under the fabrics. Marie’s meal looked scrumptious! I suppose Steve was behind the scenes working hard as usual? Davey of course is so pleasant, courteous & generous, as always & never feels the need to be the centre of attention. There hasn’t been many vlogs with Selmar & Desial lately; however that’s why I really like Selmar-he doesn’t need to be in the limelight all the time to make an impact; he’s quite happy being himself & undertaking things out with of Laland. Can’t wait to see the Ian’s all together again doing what they do best!😊
STEPHANIE; I'm watching Romantique French Life 6/9/21 about their visit to your Chateau. The video framed your Chateau in such a beautiful light. The uniqueness of your chateau is that your decorated it with LOVE. It shows. Please don't compared with other Chateaus that have been antique dealers for 40 yrs. Your HOME is build with love as everyone who watches can see. Just food for thought as you begin redecorating. Much Love from Ohio. Hugs
It's so nice to see all the ladies together again! Stephanie, the fabrics! I would be in fabric heaven! I worked for Pierre Deux French Country here in the states. and have a small collection of beautiful French fabrics. I've used some of them over the years and I'll never part with them. And I'm now reminded I also need to organize a bit better!
The wash basin & jug was made for that bathroom, it looked perfect there. I love the footage of the animals, and the closing of the curtains, LOVE IT !!
"I put Isabelle in your room. I hung Isabelle in your room. She's been framed. Anyway, she's on the mantelpiece." (27:55) That casual comment from Philipp had me in stitches!! I'm dying of laughter!! Well done, Philipp! King of puns!
What a wonderful crew of Lalanders. Dan is a true treasure and David and Phillip are amazing. I am thrilled that Kat is back!!! What a great idea for fabric storage. Wonderful episode. Thank you, thank you!
I'm adoring the organization content. Its so fun to see all the stuff that has been collected and then see them be neatly put away (not including the mystery undies).
**I need to add to the fabric organizing.... as a costumer in film.... SUPER handy to have a little tag on the bolt that says how many yards/ meters there are of the fabric. Then you know how much you have for curtains or upholstering etc.**
Oh what a treat to see the great wardrobe organization! 🥰 Tell Dan I am using pumpkins & beans as a ground cover, for the SoCal heat that's coming, in my corn patch.🌞🥵
Wow! Sheep shearing looks easy when done that way! How wonderful that Davey's great-grandparents wash set has found a home with at Lalande. A wonderful statement of bringing the family you are born to, to the family you build. Bright blessings.
Oh the sheep shearing went very smoothly compared to the last time!! Love Dan's attitude to gardening. So good that the attic is getting such a clear out. Love Davey, how exciting are the treasures from his family. Great vlog.
Lovely to see the work being done and the hidden gifts in the garden for those that slow down and enjoy the view. Lovely items at the end that were truly treasure by the family. Surprised that there are no baby lambs
About putting pins to hold the fabric panels: look out for rust that can appear with time, it would be a shame for any damage to occur. Also any printing ink on the cardboard could seep over into the fabric (over time). It will depend on the levels of humidity throughout the year
Ingenious fabric storage. The sheep were so cute in the arms of the lady doing thw sheering. So calm. The organization is going so well, and is oddly satisfying to watch.
I love Dan’s creativity in the garden! I congratulate him on trying new things! His sidekick did a really wonderful job with the sheep…they all looked so calm with her, even you know who! Sarah’s fabric storage system is one that I am going to adopt as it is brilliant! Thanks Phillip for the woodland animals segment which I really enjoy! 🐿
Would it be a train smash to swop the clip in your introduction of the entrance courtyard to a new one showing the fountain working surrounded by a growing garden and lovely stone ?
Hope you make yarn out of the woll from the sheeps. You can knit a lot of warm clothes for the winther. Can can also coloring it with all the lovly plants and Therese around the la lan🧶👍
Pumpkins will add a lot of good nutrients into the rose gardens, lets see what happens. Love the sheep shearing, the woman who did the shearing has an incredible way with them. loved the critter vids.
What a delightful vlog. Every new task was so fun to watch. I laughed and laughed watching sheep round-up, and the FABRIC ORGANIZING. Sigh.....the purple sky at the end of the day, and your forest friends busy when you finally rest. Good Day La Lande friends & Dan! Ha-Ha!
Yes- she really suits that style!! Her joy at organizing the fabrics was so infectious; it’s a great system she has put in place! People have been commenting that cardboard isn’t good for the fabrics but perhaps in the short term it’s not so bad. Ideally it would be great if thin cedar planks were used but these days that would be cost prohibitive. Anyway these fabrics have been jumbled up in piles for ages; I think this will be a huge improvement. And they will be used!
The fabrics shouldn’t be stored with pins! If there is moisture, humidity, etc. the pins could destroy the fabric if the metal corrodes. The fabric will get stained and sometimes the pins don’t come out of the fabric … get stuck. Ask me how I know! Cardboard is also bad. You should fold around something the same size and then take it out with the shape formed. Be careful how long you store directly touching wood. There are archival paper and boxes that are good for preserving fabric.
Stephanie, did you ever dream you would have such a delightful group of people that have found their way to the chateaux.? You are all such a delight to watch. You have set the chateaux bar quite high.
Yay! Woodland Watch! Always wonderful! Dan's work and sense of humor are always entertaining. 😄 l love his daily vlogs. 😊 Cat's and Steve's wife (?) organizational skills are really handy. That's going to be a really big job! Exciting things to look forward to! Always so many fun giggles!
What a great picture of the chateau at the first! Love the organization! Great job Dan! The pumpkin idea in the roses is hilarious. We will see if it works. I worry a teeny tiny bit that the box ink will transfer to the white and blue toile.

AGREED! I so appreciated her gentle kindness to them. I think that's Dan's wife?
@@christinal.suarez1838 It’s not Dan’s wife, it’s Kirsty the assistant gardener x
I believe she is Annalise 's best friend from the neighborhood.
@@jennistevenson796 Thank you! She's adorable!
I agree, her way of handling the sheep was amazing - it seems the sheep really loved the treatment!
Dan is working with classic permaculture principles! Plants with symbiotic relationships make all the plants stronger, enhance the soil and over time require less water and fertilizer and are more productive.
Yes! It's similar to edible forest
Yes!!
I am not a gardener, but seems these are modern methods and similar to Prince Charles's principles?
Yes!!! This! Exactly, so pleased to see such lovely support for Dan’s plans. Gardeners need to think outside the box, ( or in this case, inside the Box) 😂 especially considering the extremes in climate we are experiencing these days. Go Dan!

A vote from a patron - don't aim to make your chateau super-elegant. The fact that you inherited wallpapers and kept them contributes to the charming eclecticism of your home.

Laura is amazing.
Where do you live? I live in Ohio and grew up here, and it is not common.
Pumpkins in the rose beds is a fab idea. So much better than the tendrils running over the lawns, and the leaves are excellent as suppressing weeds.

Also maybe some in the Moroccan genie cinema room that Stephanie mentioned wanting in the attic with lots of throw pillows 🤔
Stephanie do not forget to put mothballs or cedar chips in the fabric and costume closets.
cedar, for sure! All sorts of cedar products are available to be purchased.
Oh gosh! No moth balls...toxic and very smelly! LOL!!! best with cedar balls or chips or little planks!

Oh, how I giggle! I'm so happy watching everyone working throughout the chateau but a little sad when it's over. I look forward to seeing what Devilish Dan comes up with next or what Cat organizes and who will show up on the woodland forest show. I think I shall watch it all again and smile some more!!
Way to go Dan with your gardening tactics! I love what you're doing with the organization in the attic...great idea using cardboard to keep fabrics in place! Welcome back Cat and Nati! All is well with the world at La Lande!
Love, love, loved this vlog. I had a smile on my dial the whole time watching the industry of these beautiful souls. Sarah and Cat brilliant job on the material storage! Makes a lot of sense to wrap them and store vertically 🧡 Steve! lifting the sheep over the pen 💪 and they were so sweet ambling away in a line. See you all next time. 🥰🕊
Kirsty was brilliant with the sheep. Of course Dan did a fabulous job with the wild area. I loved what Sarah & Cat did with the fabrics-I think use all of those rolls of wallpaper or whatever they were in the through out pile under the fabrics. Marie’s meal looked scrumptious! I suppose Steve was behind the scenes working hard as usual? Davey of course is so pleasant, courteous & generous, as always & never feels the need to be the centre of attention. There hasn’t been many vlogs with Selmar & Desial lately; however that’s why I really like Selmar-he doesn’t need to be in the limelight all the time to make an impact; he’s quite happy being himself & undertaking things out with of Laland. Can’t wait to see the Ian’s all together again doing what they do best!😊
STEPHANIE; I'm watching Romantique French Life 6/9/21 about their visit to your Chateau. The video framed your Chateau in such a beautiful light. The uniqueness of your chateau is that your decorated it with LOVE. It shows. Please don't compared with other Chateaus that have been antique dealers for 40 yrs. Your HOME is build with love as everyone who watches can see. Just food for thought as you begin redecorating. Much Love from Ohio. Hugs
Every chateau in France should have pumpkins among the roses...a fairy tale come to life!
I agree. Cinderella did.
It's so nice to see all the ladies together again! Stephanie, the fabrics! I would be in fabric heaven! I worked for Pierre Deux French Country here in the states. and have a small collection of beautiful French fabrics. I've used some of them over the years and I'll never part with them. And I'm now reminded I also need to organize a bit better!
The wash basin & jug was made for that bathroom, it looked perfect there. I love the footage of the animals, and the closing of the curtains, LOVE IT !!
I like Dan's pumpkin ground cover idea!
I love “moving sheep day” that is always a lot of fun 🤣
I just love this bunch. Philip “ from the uk?”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I adore Dan…just an adorable man! He’s so good at everything he does and a wonderful sense of humor as well. Always happy to see him in the vlogs.
"I put Isabelle in your room. I hung Isabelle in your room. She's been framed. Anyway, she's on the mantelpiece." (27:55) That casual comment from Philipp had me in stitches!! I'm dying of laughter!! Well done, Philipp! King of puns!
I dearly loved the music choice accompanying the sheep shearing. Perfect!
What a wonderful crew of Lalanders. Dan is a true treasure and David and Phillip are amazing. I am thrilled that Kat is back!!! What a great idea for fabric storage. Wonderful episode. Thank you, thank you!
OMG, chasing the sheep never get's old..So funny😂
I'm adoring the organization content. Its so fun to see all the stuff that has been collected and then see them be neatly put away (not including the mystery undies).
Oh wow Kirstie was amazing with the sheep. They seem to really love her!
**I need to add to the fabric organizing.... as a costumer in film.... SUPER handy to have a little tag on the bolt that says how many yards/ meters there are of the fabric. Then you know how much you have for curtains or upholstering etc.**
Oh that bermezzise (I know that’s not spelt right lol)fabric would make beautiful cushions for the outside furniture on the terrace..
That is by far the best fabric storing system! Excellent Sarah. Also love Phillip's woodland watch!
Ooooh, we have those in my Swedish summer house!! Huge water jug and a basin
Oh what a treat to see the great wardrobe organization! 🥰 Tell Dan I am using pumpkins & beans as a ground cover, for the SoCal heat that's coming, in my corn patch.🌞🥵
Wow! Sheep shearing looks easy when done that way! How wonderful that Davey's great-grandparents wash set has found a home with at Lalande. A wonderful statement of bringing the family you are born to, to the family you build. Bright blessings.
Oh the sheep shearing went very smoothly compared to the last time!! Love Dan's attitude to gardening. So good that the attic is getting such a clear out. Love Davey, how exciting are the treasures from his family. Great vlog.
Lovely to see the work being done and the hidden gifts in the garden for those that slow down and enjoy the view.
Lovely items at the end that were truly treasure by the family.
Surprised that there are no baby lambs
Lovely to see Kat back, nothing nicer than being organised, get way to store your fabrics card xxx well done Stephane xxx
About putting pins to hold the fabric panels: look out for rust that can appear with time, it would be a shame for any damage to occur. Also any printing ink on the cardboard could seep over into the fabric (over time). It will depend on the levels of humidity throughout the year
Another superb evening. Dan is just too darn good 😊
Happy Tuesday....it’s Lalande 💕
So much today at Laland, I bet it feels good to have things in order... GREAT JOB guys!
LOVE from Chicago
I just love the new system with cardboard and fabric. Sarah is a genius! A funny genius! 😄🤩
Ingenious fabric storage. The sheep were so cute in the arms of the lady doing thw sheering. So calm. The organization is going so well, and is oddly satisfying to watch.
I love Dan’s creativity in the garden! I congratulate him on trying new things! His sidekick did a really wonderful job with the sheep…they all looked so calm with her, even you know who! Sarah’s fabric storage system is one that I am going to adopt as it is brilliant! Thanks Phillip for the woodland animals segment which I really enjoy! 🐿
Would it be a train smash to swop the clip in your introduction of the entrance courtyard to a new one showing the fountain working surrounded by a growing garden and lovely stone ?
What a fun vlog this was today, every bit of it. Joyous.
Dan's mimicking Stephanie is hilarious! Go Dan!
Aww - the framed painting of Isabel actually made me teary-eyed. (Loved the whole vlog as usual, but this was unexpectedly lovely and moving for me.)
Hope you make yarn out of the woll from the sheeps. You can knit a lot of warm clothes for the winther. Can can also coloring it with all the lovly plants and Therese around the la lan🧶👍
Pumpkins will add a lot of good nutrients into the rose gardens, lets see what happens. Love the sheep shearing, the woman who did the shearing has an incredible way with them. loved the critter vids.
What a delightful vlog. Every new task was so fun to watch. I laughed and laughed watching sheep round-up, and the FABRIC ORGANIZING. Sigh.....the purple sky at the end of the day, and your forest friends busy when you finally rest. Good Day La Lande friends & Dan! Ha-Ha!
super fun . great work getting done . great plan sarah and looking forward to seeing how the pumpkin saga unfolds
Dan is an absolute treasure, Mummy's favorite after all.🌷🌿
Love Sarah's hair with the curls!😍
Yes- she really suits that style!! Her joy at organizing the fabrics was so infectious; it’s a great system she has put in place! People have been commenting that cardboard isn’t good for the fabrics but perhaps in the short term it’s not so bad. Ideally it would be great if thin cedar planks were used but these days that would be cost prohibitive. Anyway these fabrics have been jumbled up in piles for ages; I think this will be a huge improvement. And they will be used!
The fabrics shouldn’t be stored with pins! If there is moisture, humidity, etc. the pins could destroy the fabric if the metal corrodes. The fabric will get stained and sometimes the pins don’t come out of the fabric … get stuck. Ask me how I know! Cardboard is also bad. You should fold around something the same size and then take it out with the shape formed. Be careful how long you store directly touching wood. There are archival paper and boxes that are good for preserving fabric.
Love the vids, from the high life to the wildlife!
Stephanie, did you ever dream you would have such a delightful group of people that have found their way to the chateaux.? You are all such a delight to watch. You have set the chateaux bar quite high.
Yay! Woodland Watch! Always wonderful! Dan's work and sense of humor are always entertaining. 😄 l love his daily vlogs. 😊 Cat's and Steve's wife (?) organizational skills are really handy. That's going to be a really big job! Exciting things to look forward to! Always so many fun giggles!
Steve’s wife is Sara.
Dan is the man of the Chateau Land. Thanks for sharing so many smiles.
Brilliant sorting System! I would recommend to write the mesurements on the cardboard too
Another brilliant episode, and can I just say that Sarah looked amazing today!
What a great picture of the chateau at the first! Love the organization! Great job Dan! The pumpkin idea in the roses is hilarious. We will see if it works. I worry a teeny tiny bit that the box ink will transfer to the white and blue toile.
Also cardboard is an acid. Love the organization but if left on too long, fabric will deteriorate.
I love all of the sheep montages. 🐑 such a good laugh and sweet too.
