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.
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😉👍🏻
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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. ❤️🦋🐾
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 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.
Congrats, Philip! You did it! And you did well! Please use this channel to do what you want to do... I hope it to become an outlet for your creativity and not a burden in your life. Good luck!
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
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.
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
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 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!
Philip. I always enjoy seeing you on the vlogs. If I may offer one suggestion. Please slow down. As a storyteller, I have learned each piece of the story is an integral part of the whole. Showing us the squirrel place card holders is just as important as folding the napkins or choosing the flatware. Don't hurry the process. I for one am quite happy to spend more time with you. God bless and Happy Thanksgiving.
Dear Philip, you and Steph are the champions of yr field; hands are super steady and you are both so knowledgeable in many fields. We love you muchly. Give it all you got. God bless!
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.
Hi Philip, great first video. I love to see a dinner table beautifully set, I also agree you don't have to spend a fortune to get the look. Most surprising for me, I really love the amber glasses as they not my usual style...the one thing I gave up long ago is the table cloth, I have beautiful large place mats... better than having a white cloth trashed 10 minutes into dinner! Like you, I have many fabulous eBay and etsy finds... Looking forward to more videos! 🦘
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.
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.
Amazing first vlog, Philip! Well done!!! I've subscribed AND hit that notification bell to be notified of future vlogs and I encourage everyone to do that to help you grow your fantastic channel! Teresa (Nashville, TN)
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! 🦔🦔🦔
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.
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
Please show us close ups of all the cutlery at LeLande, I would like to see all the variety of sets that you have, one video on each. Also would like to see just videos of the various patterns of dishes and what you would put together for a place setting. Ideas for tablescapes
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!
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
So good to see your own video’s! I love your innate retention of trivia, and your quirky and elegant taste. You embody both. Hopefully your videos are you being yourself, vs too much Laplander crossover. Hope you filmed some of your last adventure, travel and theatre experience et al. Here is an idea for a video: you doing your own woodland crèche/ nativity scene using all your animals and natural gleaned materials. There must be some large wooden or metal boxes, containers that can be used , turned on their side. Placement? Perhaps the rear terrace, the chapel entrance…. The chicken area..
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.
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.
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!
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.
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👏
I enjoyed your video and the table is lovely. I have used the aluminum foil on the base of the candle trick for many years. Works beautifully. May I suggest just one hint. Watch the nervous laughter. Once you got into the video you settled down into the matter at hand and you didn’t do it as much. I admire your cultured nature and good taste. Good luck with your channel.
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.
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
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 🍁🍃🌻
Brilliant vlog Phillip ……… especially love the foil at bottom of candle ……. Cud u do more vlogs on handy tips around the kitchen …… looking forward to many more WELL DONE Phillip👍👍👍👍🌺
Fabulous! I love your creativity and eye for design. I like how you blend traditional styles with contemporary, to create a perfect setting. Really excited about your You Tube channel. Good luck!
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!
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
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 🦃🍁!
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
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.
Hi Philip, You certainly have a flare for table settings, and so many other talents. You were talking a little fast at the beginning. Glad to see that you relaxed a bit as the vlog went on. What you are doing is very interesting so relax and share your passion with all of us, So looking forward to more.
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
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 😊
My favourite colours and time of year too. I've been following you at the Chateau since the beginning but for those who are new it's natural to want to know more about the presenter. You are Dutch but people might be asking, 'how come he speaks such wonderful English?' So why not do a video giving people a little more insight into your background and of that wonderful relationship with your grandparents who clearly were a fundamental part of your growing up and are part of the reason you are where you are now. Good luck Phillip
Congratulations on your first video, loved it! I'm always looking out for new decorating ideas - only wished I had the fabulous second-hand shops in Hobart, Australia as you do in France - they are next level! Nonetheless, my favourite thing to look at when I go 'op-shopping' as we say, are the nick nacky homewares - beautiful bowls, cutlery, candle holders, glassware etc.
The table is lovely. Now if only I could get you all to come to the USA and help me out this coming Thanksgiving. It could be worth the trip, as I may be ready to part with a set of Adams Calyx ware, maybe some Minton, perhaps?
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!!
@@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 Philip... So happy for your channel. I have always loved your artistic talents and your eclectic eye for everything you do. I I do Love autumn, could live in it always. Beautifully done table. Looking forward too more of your vlogs Happy Thanksgiving , Phillip and too everyone at Lalonde .
The table is lovely and the tips are great! The critters are such a nice touch and show your sweet personality. Would it be possible to see or hear about your rehearsal/ play experiences? I would love that.
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 on the new channel! I enjoyed that you used many thrifted objects plus added your own personal style. It makes it so much more attainable for people who normally would feel daunted about setting a large, beautiful table on an important day. I and many others can feel encouraged to replicate something similar to the tables you all set a Lalande, and on any budget. I also really enjoy any table setting videos that are produced here because it reminds me of my Nana, who tried to teach me how to set a lovely table when I was a kid, and always had the most beautiful antiques and objects in her home. How-to videos and videos containing a mix of styles, occasions, and themes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed your blog. You have a natural talent for speaking and presenting. Loved your tips and look forward to many more beautiful blogs. Congratulations 😊
Phillip the table is beautiful and yes more videos- you are a natural!!!
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!!!!

Excellent video Phillip. Just keep being you and we will enjoy it all. I enjoy anything that gives us more views in to life at LaLande.
Oh Philip you are such a doll. I'm glad Stephanie has you. Great video. Thank you.

Philip. I am so glad that you have released your first video on your passion project. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing.
You’re a natural, Philip. I look forward to more videos from you. The table looks wonderful 👌

Great advice!
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.
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.

Blessings to all at LaLande.

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
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

Happy Thanksgiving to Lalande from South Carolina
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!! 👏👏👏
Fabulous! I love your creativity and eye for design. I like how you blend traditional styles with contemporary, to create a perfect setting. Really excited about your You Tube channel. Good luck!
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!
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
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 🦃🍁!
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
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.
Absolutely beautiful!
Hi Philip, You certainly have a flare for table settings, and so many other talents. You were talking a little fast at the beginning. Glad to see that you relaxed a bit as the vlog went on. What you are doing is very interesting so relax and share your passion with all of us, So looking forward to more.
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
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 😊
My favourite colours and time of year too. I've been following you at the Chateau since the beginning but for those who are new it's natural to want to know more about the presenter. You are Dutch but people might be asking, 'how come he speaks such wonderful English?' So why not do a video giving people a little more insight into your background and of that wonderful relationship with your grandparents who clearly were a fundamental part of your growing up and are part of the reason you are where you are now. Good luck Phillip
Oh that is such a great video idea,would Love to know more about him and his family background .
Would also like to know about his educational background, ? Art, textiles, china…
Oh, it is a beautiful table setting. You have splendid taste. I am looking forward to seeing your future videos.
Love it, Phillip. Some great ideas for the Christmas table decoration too. Thanks and welcome 🤗
Just lovely…. Good luck with your channel Philip. Thank you for the inspiration 🦔 🐿 🎃
Congratulations on your first video, loved it! I'm always looking out for new decorating ideas - only wished I had the fabulous second-hand shops in Hobart, Australia as you do in France - they are next level! Nonetheless, my favourite thing to look at when I go 'op-shopping' as we say, are the nick nacky homewares - beautiful bowls, cutlery, candle holders, glassware etc.
The table is lovely. Now if only I could get you all to come to the USA and help me out this coming Thanksgiving. It could be worth the trip, as I may be ready to part with a set of Adams Calyx ware, maybe some Minton, perhaps?
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!!
Beautiful perfect table setting! Great! 👍
Beautiful but not enough close ups of your completed work!! Well done!! 👌🙏
I was thinking the same thing.
Yes, would love more details as you set up. Like I noticed you had multiple layers of tablecloths.
@@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)
Well done Philip, keep them coming. Yvonne from Australia
Congratulations Philip...
So happy for your channel. I have always loved your artistic talents and your eclectic eye for everything you do. I I do Love autumn, could live in it always. Beautifully done table. Looking forward too more of your vlogs Happy Thanksgiving , Phillip and too everyone at Lalonde .
The table is lovely and the tips are great! The critters are such a nice touch and show your sweet personality. Would it be possible to see or hear about your rehearsal/ play experiences? I would love that.
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!
Ditto!
Agree-just being thankful is important!
As an American I totally agree.
Wow, I guess you don’t realize that Canada has thanksgiving as well. In October by the way.
@@krogers815 I do realize that......and as a Canadian, I'm sure you don't mind other countries and cultures celebrating a day of gratitude too.
Just wonderful, Phillip, thank you. More videos, please :D 😀
Wonderful! I look forward to your future videos!!
Adorable and very well done Phillip
Congratulations on the new channel! I enjoyed that you used many thrifted objects plus added your own personal style. It makes it so much more attainable for people who normally would feel daunted about setting a large, beautiful table on an important day. I and many others can feel encouraged to replicate something similar to the tables you all set a Lalande, and on any budget. I also really enjoy any table setting videos that are produced here because it reminds me of my Nana, who tried to teach me how to set a lovely table when I was a kid, and always had the most beautiful antiques and objects in her home. How-to videos and videos containing a mix of styles, occasions, and themes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed your blog. You have a natural talent for speaking and presenting. Loved your tips and look forward to many more beautiful blogs.
Congratulations 😊
