Absolutely Gorgeous!!!! I am an Interior Designer from the US. Great use of color, which made the room come to life. Loved the pumpkins, the tips and The Squirrels!!!! BRAVO, PHILIP! I can't wait to see more videoes!!!!
The Dutch have given America a part of Thanksgiving tradition I remember as a child... most who were kids in 50's and 60's sang a song in school around Thanksgiving that originally was from the Netherlands! It's known as The Thanksgiving Prayer . We Gather Together is a Christian hymn from the Netherlands believed to have been written by Adrianus Valerius in 1597. It first appeared in a Dutch hymnal in 1626. The hymn was written to celebrate the Dutch victory over Spanish military forces in the Battle of Turnhout. In the United States this traditional hymn is associated with Thanksgiving Day.
Phillip you are so blessed with a beautiful talent! All of you, your speech and mannerisms, clothes and ideas speak of such elegance and inner peace. You are truly a gentleman in every way. I am happy to know you. God bless you and keep you.
Sharing your tableware & silver that is special to you to make beautiful table settings is a lovely way to express your creativity Phillip. Adding beloved woodland creatures here and there on the table or in one of the rooms is the cherry on top. I’m sorry I am late congratulating you on your own video debut. We have a new grandson and this lucky grandma has been taking advantage of giving my daughter a break to take a much needed nap or do things on her To Do list. He is 6 weeks old today! My Family’s Century farm has 200 acres of woods with a lot of red, gray and a few black squirrels running around, chittering, but no 🦔 hedgehogs in the wild here in Missouri USA. Small black bears have made their way back in the area and fortunately I have not ran into one yet. The joke is you don’t have to out run a bear, just run faster than your walking partner! Well, I am the SLOW ONE in every scenario so 🤞🤞any wild creature with teeth and a grumpy attitude will be as afraid as me and we will go in opposite directions . A very enjoyable first of many Phillip, congratulations.
You are natural vlogger/presenter Philip. Just keep being you and remember to always enjoy your work. You have a lot of talent to share with others so this is a wonderful avenue for you. Happy Thanksgiving!
There is nothing more I love than setting the table! For me it represents laying the way for gathering. It’s a form of anticipation. Hope! Wonder! It’s my way of welcoming others into what I expect to be a wonderful time. 🥂 It’s lovely to see a kindred spirit in the art of table-scaping. I encourage you, Philip, to keeping blessing others in the craft of building beautiful get-togethers! 🦔🦔🦔
Excellent job and you are a natural at this. One idea for a future vlog-----you men all looked spectacular dressed up for the ball at Versailles. Maybe make a before/after of the LaLande men in their everyday clothes and then stepping into one of the chateau's rooms or gardens dressed in the historic clothes. It would surely be a hit. If you made a calendar I am sure it would sell. And your comments are always entertaining!
Philip! Welcome and I’m so happy you opened up your channel with a Thanksgiving tribute. I am at 17 wife mother grandmother and great grandmother. Yes like many people I discovered Stephanie over Lock down. My family is the muse because I referred to step in as my friend, but that’s how she makes me feel and she has addressed her TH-cam audience as so . I am so glad Stephanie and you how do you build your relationship no surprise. I hope people respect your privacy. So looking forward and good luck with your channel😉👍🏻
What a wonderful surprise!!! The only tip I can offer you is to make videos to suit yourself. Everyone will throw so many ideas at you, each contradicting the other! For example, I will get my fangs into the background music. I never like it and prefer videos without. Other will dramatically complain if there is no music in the video. You cannot please eveyone so you should please yourself! Welcome to TH-cam Philip!
Absolutely loved it! Would have even loved more closeups of all the little friends you tucked amid the gourds and the table setting. The whole video is gorgeous and a real pleasure to watch. Thank you, Phillip!
I like your video very much. Please continue with the place settings and I remember your woodland videos with fondness. Can not wait to see what you want to show us in the future. Good luck.
I never comment on videos and only came over because of the Chateau Diaries but I will stay because you did really, really well. You presented clearly, you were entertaining and genuine. You seem like such a lovely young man. Congratulations. You did a great job!
You are such a pleasure to watch on all the videos. I would like to suggest you begin a whole series on table scapping and settings. Nothing ridiculous like that HGTV series, just classic and elegant and traditional settings expressing all that is European. You are a natural on camera and very enjoyable to watch interacting with all the LeLanders. Best of health and happiness to you and Stephanie.
Wow Philip, this video is so good and very well made. Can't wait to see more! It is very organic and feels like you have done hundreds of video already! I would love to see your hedgehogs collection, all your favorite porcelain and cutlery and why they are your favorites, how to shop for vintage pieces: what to look for, different brands, ect, you know so many things about design throughout the centuries I would love to learn more. Oh and bring back Woodland Watch please haha :) Can't wait to see your channel flourish!
A great alternative to the aluminum or wax to stabilize candles is MOSS! it looks great to have the green moss at the base of each candle!… especially for those SUMMER GARDEN PARTIES!
Hi what an absolutely delightful idea! Moss! I love it, thanks for that idea! I have used very skinny weather stripping as well. Found some at charity shop that has lasted for about 15 years. It works to stabilize the candle with the added benefit of being sticky so it stays put on the candle. I Congratulations Philip on your TH-cam endeavor! This is going to be SO MUCH fun & will hopefully be a treasure trove of ideas from YOU as well as your adoring fans. We all love you Philip, thank you for loving our Stephanie & being her Prince. You are the perfect addition to an already magical Fairy Tale! With love & gratitude from the Northern California Coast xo April 🍁🍃🌻
As an American, I have no problem with other countries and cultures enjoying Thanksgiving. Being grateful for the blessings in our lives should be universal anyway! Happy Thanksgiving!
Congratulations Philip on a wonderful start to what will become a great vlog. I thoroughly enjoy your presentation and your personality, you're charming! Greetings from Miami and can't wait for the next one...Lot's of love
I'm American, but feel we should all feel thankful 🙏 after getting through the many lock-downs of these COVID times...We are able to celebrate again and be with friendsand family.
Keep doing these videos, Philip, I love it! You should advertise your channel on the Chateau Diaries more often, so people can find you! I found this channel, because the lady, Vivian, who set your table for your guests while you and Stephanie were gone on vacation, said that you had this channel (talking about the napkins) and I came to check it out. Please do more videos of things that you do around the chateau….especially now that you go on walks and do things with your new puppy, Lancelot. ❤️🦋🐾
Philip. I have watched the Chateau Diaries from the beginning. I think you are great, talented, kind and thoughtful. I absolutely love you and Steph together and the table is stunning! I get very inspired with ideas from the chateau. Xx
Congratulations! Elegant and warm table setting. I love to see you visiting the brocantes and then showing what you’ve done with your finds, great eye. You are a classy gentleman, always be yourself.
Thanks for using my placecards!! I got so excited in seeing them used, I neglected to tell you how beautiful your table is. Congratulations on your new vlog !Heidi
Philip-BRAVO! Excellent effort, you are so creative and very natural in front of the camera. I’m certain laying this lovely table led to a beautiful evening 🦃🍁!
Aw Philip, what a treat! So beautifully produced; the light, the narration, the setting itself, all very professionally done and utterly engaging. Thank you, congratulations and I look forward to many more👏
That was lovely! I can imagine lots of DIY/crafty ideas for Christmas - advent calendars, crackers, Christmas table, ways to wrap gifts... The list is endless! Can't wait to see more of your videos x
Phillip... greetings from Nashville Tn. USA to you and everyone at LaLande .Congratulations on your new channel. Your table settings are works of art. I look forward to more.
@@moegirl76 the first one in this case its probably a simple white table cloth because the fancy one was clearly not big enough plus it has open embroidery and then you better lay another table cloth under the fancy one. We always lay a thick flanel on the table to protect the table against spills and then the real table cloth.
So pleased you've started your own channel Philip. Would love a close up of the place setting for a minute or so when it's completed with cutlery /glassware /china that you decided upon. You're so good at the details we want to see ❤🥰
@@nicolethijs5428 My parents have the same type of table and they put a thick 'fleece' (molleton?) under the tablecloth, not only it protects the table from stains and heat, but also it protects guests from the rough angles of the wood extensions (I'm sorry I don't know all the words in English :D)
Congratulations, i follow Chateau Diaries religiously and always enjoy the comments from you, your puns are to die for and also so are your beautiful table settings, it was very fitting to start your new vlogs with a beautiful table setting for a very special time in American history. Even though i am not American i still give thanks.
Philip you are an asset to the chateau! The table settings are very lovely and the natural ornamentals make it all come together so nicely. I am sure all had a good time at the table. The ambiance from the candles just top it off perfectly. Nice sharing your ideas with all the viewers. Kind regards E
Nicely done! Loved it. I can hardly wait for future uploads. The helpful hints and techniques were a lovely addition, ie. remedy for candle stick not fitting, pumpkin candle holders
Just found your channel Philip, love your table settings, always beautiful. Really makes a meal an event. We don't celebrate Thanks giving in Australia, unless there's an American around and would do it for them. It's Spring at that time here anyway, lol. Just a note in Australia we solve the aluminium pronunciation problem by calling it Al- foil. Happy Days and all the best, hope you will upload more.
Philip your table is exquisite. I’m so honored that many other countries love doing the Thanksgiving with their loved ones. Is as it should be. Having dinner with our loved ones and being thankful for are blessings. Philip I’m so excited to see more of your vlogs, you are so talented and have a good eye for color. Your English is fantastic 🍁🦃 Happy Thanksgiving
Yeah!! Philip has his own channel. I can not wait to see all you do. You are a talented and artistic man. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I love watching decorating videos. And with Christmas coming soon I think you will have plenty to film. I love the idea of many Christmas trees with different themes. Good luck and God bless you my dear.
Excited that you are venturing out to a new channel in addition to all you do for Lalande. Thanks for all the ideas and I love all the woodland animals.
I am a naturalized American and my family have spent decades working out the purpose/meaning of the Thanksgiving celebration, finally settling on the idea of just being grateful for kind people in our world. We all take turns at our table giving a thanks and cheers to whomever deserves the shout out. Every Tday I make a special effort to acknowledge the Native Americans who basically sacrificed themselves in saving the entirely unprepared Pilgrims that arrived on their shores. BTW, I love how you decorated your Tday table with gourds that you later turned into soup. One tip I may share is I line my hollowed out little gourds with aluminium foil before I place a candle tea light in so they glow. Also, if they are edible, the foil protects them from the melting wax.
🍁🍁🍁🌾Well very fun first video, and to tackle Thanksgiving too!! As an American it’s my favorite holiday, and your table is fantastic 😉. Great colors, textures, gourds!
Love the candle tin foil tip its a perfect solution and I have candelabras just like that I will be using so thank you. Would love to see you cover a chair and how you measure and cut the fabric etc congrats on the new channel am looking forward to seeing what you do with it
Such a lovely video!! I'm so happy you've started your own channel. I would love to see you do a Christmas table too, or maybe a challenge video where you go to emmaous and have a set budget to do a table for :)
@@sidselboyepetersen6541 Yes good idea! Also a video on preparing crockery, cutlery and glassware for the table. For example how to polish everything. Also the table layout for crockery, cutlery and glassware, napkin folding and flower centrepiece arranging and music selection. Also a video on wine selection and cocktail preparation. Also how to add visual interest to a table and room surrounds. And finally how to set tables for different services - French, English, Russian and American service. Also setups for buffet service, a la carte and table d’hôte.( ex hospitality lecturer😉)
Love to watch you do something you soo love doing! Beautiful. You can also use aluminum bonbon cups from your local candy reseller or order them online. If you need to double them up, they fit together and leave a nice finished edge. You can also put a dab of museum putty in the candle holder to keep the candle upright. Also purchased online. Blessing for the coming holidays to you, the other Lelanders both on site and scattered to the winds. We love you all.
Congratulations darling Philip. Your table is stunning. This grandmother learned quite a few lovely tips. You are in your element here & I look forward to seeing many more creative videos. Keep up the good work. Hugs & kisses from Georgia.
Literally because of you and Stephanie I have been scouring the local antique stores, charity shops etc to find items for our dining room and house. Oddly, in Kentucky.. we don't get "formal" for anything really, except horse racing, which is weird since we have giant dining rooms that typically get used once or twice a year. This Thanksgiving will be the first in our 25+ years of actually breaking out the China, the goblets and decorating! Thank you for inspiring me to bring a little Fabulousness to our everyday life!
Me too✅ I think that’s been so amazing to learn from Stephanie & Phillip! I do use our China on holidays, but many times, just foam divided section plates. 😜
Just my Mom and me for the holiday today but I still foraged outside to make a centerpiece (no mean feat in November in Maine) and used my great grandmother's china. The La Lande effect!
@@elisabeth6108 it was just me, my husband and my mother-in-law. It seemed odd in the dining room that in past years was overflowing, but we were grateful for good food and loving family to share it with.
The fool in the candlestick holder is brilliant! I’ve broken two antique glass candlestick holders trying to get the wax out. Even in clear glass, I think that the foil would look attractive. ♥️
Who buys a dinner set for a 12 year old? That is so unusual but kind of cool. It kind of set you on the path to be someone to appreciate nice things. The table is beautiful.
I've been waiting for a channel from you! Your style and overall aesthetic sensibility is exquisite, this first post with the table, on a budget, at Lalande, is beautiful, inspiring, love the humor, and the care put into it transmitted across to San Francisco. Congrats!!! It would be wonderful to see more décor, fashion, antiquing, all your likes! Cheers to many more to come! 🍽🥂
Great job on your video Phillip. Good presentation, excellent camera work, and easy to hear you. You are very natural on camera. Loved the table decorations too!
Really really loved this. My motto is “why use 6 pots when 20 will do”! I have as much fun setting the table as eating the meal …. & I use foil in the candles like you …there’s hope for me yet! Xx
Hiya Phillp soo exited for you yay! Enjoyed the tips &tricks as I call them always love to learn something new. Oh yes love the idea of frugal anything, it’s a win win for all,charity shops, brocantes, etc recycling repurposed etc. I feel you did fabulous for your first video, looking forward to watching more & of course subscribed straight away Lol blessings Luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝
Fantastic Philip! I’m very excited to see what you create on your channel. I’d love to see more about table settings, cutlery and dinner service things etc. How to spot quality old table ware and table cloths when out second hand shopping etc. looking forward to more 😊
Love the table you set up for Thanksgiving and also I love how you embrace our traditions, thank you. I do enjoy watching your videos and Stephanie's, I look forward to them and I watch the older videos a lot. I've gotten a lot of ideas from watching, makes me want to be there with you all
I love that you all are having Thanksgiving! Its wonderful to spread the joy and to be Thankful for the things we have in our lives. Can't wait for more videos!!
Philip…great tip about the foil for candelabra! The table looked beautiful, can’t wait for your next. For so long we have watched you create stunning tables for so many events at Lalande and would have loved more detail or close-ups…👏👏👏👏👏
Phillip the table is beautiful and yes more videos- you are a natural!!!

You’re a natural, Philip. I look forward to more videos from you. The table looks wonderful 👌
Love the glassware. Everything looked lovely. Thank you for celebrating with us. 🇺🇸❤
Love the table , the story behind all the items🥰 The backdrop of the gorgeous wallpaper and lamps pulls it all together beautifully
Oh Philip you are such a doll. I'm glad Stephanie has you. Great video. Thank you.

Yep I love the music! Haha
I hate loud discordant music that assaults my hearing aids. Yours was fine.
I do not like the music either. I usually land up not listening to the video if there is too much or too loud whatever.
I love a quiet music in the back ground or in clips that make it come alive.
Phillip you are so talented! I really admire your affinity towards the wildlife!
Absolutely loved it! Would have even loved more closeups of all the little friends you tucked amid the gourds and the table setting. The whole video is gorgeous and a real pleasure to watch. Thank you, Phillip!

What a beautiful table! For not being American, you truly captured the essence of Thanksgiving! Bravo and well done! 👏🏼👏🏼

🍁🍁🍁🌾Well very fun first video, and to tackle Thanksgiving too!! As an American it’s my favorite holiday, and your table is fantastic 😉. Great colors, textures, gourds!
Love the candle tin foil tip its a perfect solution and I have candelabras just like that I will be using so thank you. Would love to see you cover a chair and how you measure and cut the fabric etc congrats on the new channel am looking forward to seeing what you do with it
Beautifully done, Philip! Practical, economical, and gorgeous! Happy Thanksgiving!
Philip. I am so glad that you have released your first video on your passion project. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing.
Well done. Great ideas and done on a budget which is always a plus. Looking forward to more vids
Philip, it looks amazing. Fabulous table :) Looking forward to the next one.
Wonderful! I look forward to your future videos!!
Such a lovely video!! I'm so happy you've started your own channel. I would love to see you do a Christmas table too, or maybe a challenge video where you go to emmaous and have a set budget to do a table for :)
And also how you repair porcelain and other practical tips ☀️🎉Congrats with your new channel!
@@sidselboyepetersen6541 Yes good idea! Also a video on preparing crockery, cutlery and glassware for the table. For example how to polish everything.
Also the table layout for crockery, cutlery and glassware, napkin folding and flower centrepiece arranging and music selection.
Also a video on wine selection and cocktail preparation.
Also how to add visual interest to a table and room surrounds.
And finally how to set tables for different services - French, English, Russian and American service. Also setups for buffet service, a la carte and table d’hôte.( ex hospitality lecturer😉)
Love to watch you do something you soo love doing! Beautiful. You can also use aluminum bonbon cups from your local candy reseller or order them online. If you need to double them up, they fit together and leave a nice finished edge. You can also put a dab of museum putty in the candle holder to keep the candle upright. Also purchased online.
Blessing for the coming holidays to you, the other Lelanders both on site and scattered to the winds. We love you all.
Just wonderful, Phillip, thank you. More videos, please :D 😀
Love it, Phillip. Some great ideas for the Christmas table decoration too. Thanks and welcome 🤗
Congratulations darling Philip. Your table is stunning. This grandmother learned quite a few lovely tips. You are in your element here & I look forward to seeing many more creative videos. Keep up the good work. Hugs & kisses from Georgia.
I couldn’t subscribe fast enough! Loved the video. Philip is such a kind and generous man. So glad Stephanie and Philip are together❤️
L💜VE this! Thank you for smile you gave me this afternoon. 🤗 Your laugh is contagious. Happy Thanksgiving.
Well done Philip, thats great advice with the tin foil around the end of the candle, everything looks fabulous 🥰🐝🦋🌻
Literally because of you and Stephanie I have been scouring the local antique stores, charity shops etc to find items for our dining room and house. Oddly, in Kentucky.. we don't get "formal" for anything really, except horse racing, which is weird since we have giant dining rooms that typically get used once or twice a year. This Thanksgiving will be the first in our 25+ years of actually breaking out the China, the goblets and decorating! Thank you for inspiring me to bring a little Fabulousness to our everyday life!
Me too✅
I think that’s been so amazing to learn from Stephanie & Phillip!
I do use our China on holidays, but many times, just foam divided section plates. 😜
That made me really happy
Just my Mom and me for the holiday today but I still foraged outside to make a centerpiece (no mean feat in November in Maine) and used my great grandmother's china. The La Lande effect!
@@elisabeth6108 it was just me, my husband and my mother-in-law. It seemed odd in the dining room that in past years was overflowing, but we were grateful for good food and loving family to share it with.
So great!
The fool in the candlestick holder is brilliant! I’ve broken two antique glass candlestick holders trying to get the wax out. Even in clear glass, I think that the foil would look attractive. ♥️
Fabulous Phillip! Loved this! You’re very creative and engaging. Looking forward to more 😊x
Who buys a dinner set for a 12 year old? That is so unusual but kind of cool. It kind of set you on the path to be someone to appreciate nice things. The table is beautiful.
I've been waiting for a channel from you! Your style and overall aesthetic sensibility is exquisite, this first post with the table, on a budget, at Lalande, is beautiful, inspiring, love the humor, and the care put into it transmitted across to San Francisco. Congrats!!! It would be wonderful to see more décor, fashion, antiquing, all your likes!
Cheers to many more to come! 🍽🥂
Great job on your video Phillip. Good presentation, excellent camera work, and easy to hear you. You are very natural on camera. Loved the table decorations too!
Really really loved this. My motto is “why use 6 pots when 20 will do”! I have as much fun setting the table as eating the meal …. & I use foil in the candles like you …there’s hope for me yet! Xx
Hiya Phillp soo exited for you yay! Enjoyed the tips &tricks as I call them always love to learn something new. Oh yes love the idea of frugal anything, it’s a win win for all,charity shops, brocantes, etc recycling repurposed etc. I feel you did fabulous for your first video, looking forward to watching more & of course subscribed straight away Lol blessings Luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝
Fantastic Philip! I’m very excited to see what you create on your channel. I’d love to see more about table settings, cutlery and dinner service things etc. How to spot quality old table ware and table cloths when out second hand shopping etc. looking forward to more 😊
Oh, it is a beautiful table setting. You have splendid taste. I am looking forward to seeing your future videos.
Love the table you set up for Thanksgiving and also I love how you embrace our traditions, thank you. I do enjoy watching your videos and Stephanie's, I look forward to them and I watch the older videos a lot. I've gotten a lot of ideas from watching, makes me want to be there with you all
If there were cards for us on the table, would have hopped over for the night🤣🤣❤️❤️
And you tell us that now?!!!
Now Percy…. That would have been the icing on the cake 💕
I love that you all are having Thanksgiving! Its wonderful to spread the joy and to be Thankful for the things we have in our lives.
Can't wait for more videos!!
Philip…great tip about the foil for candelabra! The table looked beautiful, can’t wait for your next. For so long we have watched you create stunning tables for so many events at Lalande and would have loved more detail or close-ups…👏👏👏👏👏
Lovely Phillip-thank you-beautiful setting! 🦃❤️🦃
Also. I liked how you used the squash/pumpkins randomly across the table. Very nice Phillip-look forward to more creations you do!! 👏👏👏
