I don't think I realized until now - Chateau Diaries and this channel is therapy. It's a way to feel connected in a very unconnected world. Thank you to those that bare their hearts and lives, to remind us all just how precious life is and how we are never alone. So much love.
It is no accident that Greg and Elizabeth and Anouk sent you those very touching notes. The community of Lalande is truly global, uplifting and special. It does you all honor.
Greg's story was sad, moving and uplifting in equal parts. Thank you so much for sharing that personal story. Sometimes you have a bad day then you hear that and realise everything happens for a reason.🤗
Let’s especially never forget that it takes work and commitment to produce these videos that generate the thousands of euros for charity. Stephanie has always been the engine that runs this machine. Her enthusiasm for this channel is inspiring. Let’s all continue to support Stephanie and her works.
So super proud of the money raised for charity. ** "I would like to offer a suggestion plz." Set up a yearly Christmas charity funding Mummy & Percy's yearly buckets of essentials. Maybe to offset two or three people to help, shop & distribute. Watching them the last two years with their own generosity has been so incredibly heartwarming. I would love to see a percentage $$ to be set aside each month, if possible to go toward "Christmasbuckets". Much love to all!
I cannot say how thrilled I am that your November donation went to building homes in Cordoba, Argentina! I lived/ volunteered there for 4 weeks during my gap year at a foster home for girls and absolutely fell in love with the people and the city. They are so incredibly deserving of the donation!
23K Euros for charity! This is just incredible! Thank you to those who shared their poignant stories. I hope that in their sharing and gift giving that the burden is lessened a little bit for you all, especially as these thoughtful and beautiful gifts then get magnified around the whole world! That is magical to me! I am so happy to be a tiny little part of it. (The lemons / lemonade quote was very personal to me. That was my late partner's mantra.)
This gift opening was a little different and more thought provoking than others. So many touching and open letters that just go to show us all that we all have our struggles and our losses but somehow we find the will to carry on and keep hoping for a new joy and peace. I wish that for everyone.
Ah Greg, thank you for sharing your story with us all. It’s been so hard for you, but you have just kept pressing on- you’re an inspiration. Just keep planning for that trip to LaLande- you’ll be there before you know it!👍🏻
Thank you for bringing such heartfelt authenticity to the world of the internet. I love you guys so much for providing a loving alternative to any entertainment out there.
Such a tribute to you Stephenie; and all the La Landers. THAT all your followers feel as I do that you are family to us ALL. They're able to open up to you. What a place of comfort and joy you bring us all. LOVE you guy's! ❤
I am not sure if you realize Stephanie and all the LaLanders how you have affected so many lives in such a positive way. How at the end of the day one can come here to our community of château LaLande and find comfort and peace. Having recently been through my own tragedies I have a heartfelt feeling of compassion for the people whom sent you letters . Kindness is always found here🙏🏻🌺
Antoinne is such a lovely boy.His parents should be very very proud.Really enjoy when Marie is present , she has a great energy, very calm and kind.Love all la lands, wish you all the best .
Gosh, I love these videos! @ Stephanie Jarvis I truly don’t believe you know how much these vlogs mean to all of us watching. You have touched all our lives differently and brought so much joy to us. 2022 I feel you will be even further blessed, and those of us watching are here for the ride to see your blessings! Hugs from NY.
Well done everyone for all the money collected for charities. Thanks to the people who shared their life stories for reminding us to count our blessings and make every day count. And thanks to Stephanie and Co for making it all possible xxx.
The charitable donations are what happiness is all about. The joy of giving and the joy of receiving and changing lives. I know some people have been cynical, to me they have never understood the meaning behind true charity, whether it be big or small. Stephanie you have allowed the joy of giving that the gift givers appreciate, you exemplify the joy of receiving with your gracious gratitude and you have passed this along to those in need and who will in turn, have the same feelings which are at the core of this endeavor. Keep up the wonderful work and including us 'The viewers'.
This had me in tears! I lost my Dad & Mum 4 months apart! It’s very hard! Miss them so much. But brilliant on the charity side! So glad we can help by watching adverts! ❤️
I always love cadeaux it always makes me feel happy. I can't wait for the Valentine's day party. This year it will definitely be filled with life, LOVE & Laughter.🙏❤️🏰
Thank you Stephanie and La Landers, through you, we see life, hear the stories of people around the world. The fact they choose to share theirs with you is an honour. I wish you and all your followers the very best in 2022! Truly grateful I found your channel. Stay blessed!
Fabulous gifts! Very thoughtful and very tasteful of your viewers. No doubt they know you well. I am new here but I am not going anywhere. Look forward to next gift opening. I really appreciate those letters and their personal experiences. Stay well.
So impressive with this channel bringing in 23K for various charities. Most "influencers" would have kept the 23K for their work on the channel and for personal income. Says a lot about Stephanie, etc. making this a charity channel. "Play / Pay it Forward"
Gosh this was a heart touching episode. Had a few tears as you read a couple of those letters. And I could see you all were touched also. Love to you all💛
Hope all are well . Hello from snowy Columbus Ohio. Thanks for all you do to keep the videos coming the really make my day. You really make us feel like we are right there beside u for all the wonderful things going on a La lande. Please continue to share.
Quel bilan extraordinaire ! Donations pertinentes et généreuses ! Des cadeaux sublimes ! Des lettres émouvantes et toujours autant de bienveillance et de bonne humeur. Merci Stéphanie and co 😊 ! À bientôt !! 🌸🌸🌸
When looking for another charity ..please consider Bethesda the only Hospice in the Outer Hebrides of mainland Scotland 🏴 ..it has to self fund and needs £40O,000 a year to survive ..it needs all the help it can get !
"The Lalande Cadeaux Fund" is truly amazing and helping so many. Add in all the very special gifts with the beautiful backdrop and it still feels like Christmas... And I hope there's lots of "love and laughter" going on in South Africa! 😊
Well done for everyone paying for the charities. So many people helped. Such a varied collection of gifts. The stories are heartbreaking but real. Thankyou
Your charity donations for 2021 is fantastic. Such lovely gifts. I shedded a few tears for some of the stories shared of hardships and recovery ❤️🩹 you come out of tragedy different that’s for sure. Your vlog brings a wonderful distraction from life’s unpleasant parts. Happy new year 🎆🎊
Wow! Greg’s note made me cry. What an optimistic and positive person. The Spode was gorgeous but I absolutely loved the Australian themed wrapping paper the most!!! If you see this comment Greg Hello from Texas!!!
I would love to join you for holidays next years holiday. It I am 68 years old only have one uncle and his family. You all are so fun to watch. Have great fun this year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you amazing people @ the Chateau. Hope 2022 brings you much happiness, success, and continued joy and laughter. Light and Love from our family to yours
Stephanie, I had a bad fall last night (66)me with osteoporosis plus . Anyway my good news is I am now a Great Grandmother, yes I love this and always thought not me no way but She is so beautiful, so tiny you forget how small babies are. January was is so wonderful 2022 . Can not think of another way to start a year…. I hope you have a wonderful blessed holiday for 2022 and give mummy and Percy big hugs… On your return I am hoping you start the bread oven kitchen Please 💖🇦🇺
I enjoy gift opening anytime of the year. How smart and thoughtful of you to film ahead of time, because we would all be having withdrawal symptoms by now.
Yes Philip you did pronounce Echidna correctly, Well done. ekidna. Also, in Australia, the bilby is sometimes used as an alternative to our Easter bunny.
I am in tears 😢 😭. This segment is very emotional, from 2 of wonderful gifters, Greg from Australia and Elizabeth from Belgium ❣❣ Oh, my! Elizabeth is sooo artistic 😀 👌 😍
This unwrapping hit me too. We have all in some way had trials these last two years but so.e more than others. I'm always amazing at the strength that is shown through all of this.
Wow, powerful stories. Even though I am crying I feel very uplifted for being shared with. I hope they can be ...lighter some how for the telling. Thank you for being brave.🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜💜
When everyone on the sofa went, "oooooooh!" at the big Spode box, all I could think of was the little aliens from Toy Story lol Another great Cadeaux, as always!
I think when we have a rough patch and lose beloved people we come through fractured with bits of ourselves mourning or in pain, but because we made it through.. (was there a choice?) people see us as stronger. I think we have all the strength we ever had but our poor hearts and souls are tender and bruised and hurting. But we wake up every morning and do what ever our life needs.
@@barbaraoshea8639 thanks loss is something I have seen in 63 years and every time I feel like less of myself as I go through it , I think i have used the phrase "this is what's left of me ...."
@@patriciajamieson9020 yes, I can understand completely. We walk in the same footsteps. You have a wonderful way with words. I tell friends that grief does not go away, it eventually turns into a close friend you check in with regularly.
Enjoyed. Such beautiful gifts ! The letters are so heart touching but in their way encouraging, We do survive and go forward no matter how difficult life can be. God bless everyone. Love to all ❤
The "larger" tea cozy could be a "casserole or soup cozy but remember to use with its lid on - lol keeps other goodies warm besides teapots....so cozy"
Missed you all again work called But sitting here watching with a slice of homemade banana loaf fresh strawberry jam with a cup of herb tea perfect for Cadeaux❤️😘Awwww those gifts with the heart wrenching stories life is but an afternoon visit Live life to the full gratitude compassion everyday ❤️🥰Have a fabulous time my loves in SA much love to Percy and Isabelle and a huge hug to Gerald Abiento😘😘❤️❤️🍸🍸💫✨💕
Just a suggestion. I used to have a beautiful kimono that I hung on the wall with a rod through the shoulders as an art piece. Even though you aren’t Asian themed it would work well in a small bedroom or even in your small hall blue room.
Maaike you are such a kind person, so nice to see you at la lande. it is easy to see why Philip see you as his best friend, hi is lucky. ( Just love the color of your hair ) Hope you All get the most amazing year. 🤗
A few years from now, you could put on an exhibit of greeting cards for all seasons from everywhere in the world in the community center, perhaps in combination with a card making workshop for the hollidays? You're aquiring quite a collection! The letters will stay with me for some time. The heartbreaking loss, hardships, disasters both intimate, national and global, the relationships, care, love, and the incredible strength to keep going and keep hope alive despite everything is food for the mind and very humbling. The silks and spode and gifts were wonderful and generous, and it made me happy to see Antoine has a "fairy godmother" who treated him to something special. The charity work is fantastic and I think it's marvelous you are contributing to the villeage center! The connection to the local community is very important in restoring the Chateau which once had great impact on the villeage with shared history, and although Lalande is famously loved by the international community it's just as important to build a good and lasting relationship with the descendants of the locals that have seen the Chateau throughout history and your closest neighbors. I'm sure with time you'll also discover there are interesting stories to be told by villagers about past days. Stay well everyone❣️ Love /Jo

Anton is such a lovely boy! He try’s to stay in the background quietly accepting and grateful that he is included. 🥰

I just love the fact that you have given so much in the last year to different charities. What a wonderful way to use TH-cam to help others in need.

Nothing picks me up more than an episode of Chateau Unwrapped!
Thank you for the video! Have a gala day!
Greg from Australia, wow thank you for sharing your story and for reminding me to keep on going at quite a tough time, love to you and your family x
That was such a lovely letter.
Watching this now to help ease a panic attack. Thanks to all who contribute to such an uplifting, positive community! ❤️
The letters and stories had me in tears. Sending bear hugs to all who needs one. X

I was very moved by the beautiful personal stories of loss and hope. May the sun shine brightly upon all of you
What incredible gifts everyone contributed, whether it was donating or simply allowing the ads to run. Well done, Lalanders!

I love so much about this but one thing I noticed is the care Antione took to carefully fold up the colorful scarf. He was very thoughtful.

Another great Cadeaux, as always!
The letter from Australia is amazing in that my partner and I were together for 56 1/2 years and he also left me on January 26th, 2020.
I think when we have a rough patch and lose beloved people we come through fractured with bits of ourselves mourning or in pain, but because we made it through.. (was there a choice?) people see us as stronger. I think we have all the strength we ever had but our poor hearts and souls are tender and bruised and hurting.

What amazing stories of inspiriation. Thank you to those who wrote notes and their stories. Today you have given me hope.

Lovely things for a lovely lady with a loving and charitable heart
Great job you lovely people

Can't wait to go back to the future next week.

Hope you All get the most amazing year.

I like the dress and cardigan maiike is wearing.:- So beautiful with her long red hair and complexion.
A few years from now, you could put on an exhibit of greeting cards for all seasons from everywhere in the world in the community center, perhaps in combination with a card making workshop for the hollidays? You're aquiring quite a collection!
The letters will stay with me for some time. The heartbreaking loss, hardships, disasters both intimate, national and global, the relationships, care, love, and the incredible strength to keep going and keep hope alive despite everything is food for the mind and very humbling.
The silks and spode and gifts were wonderful and generous, and it made me happy to see Antoine has a "fairy godmother" who treated him to something special.
The charity work is fantastic and I think it's marvelous you are contributing to the villeage center! The connection to the local community is very important in restoring the Chateau which once had great impact on the villeage with shared history, and although Lalande is famously loved by the international community it's just as important to build a good and lasting relationship with the descendants of the locals that have seen the Chateau throughout history and your closest neighbors. I'm sure with time you'll also discover there are interesting stories to be told by villagers about past days.
Stay well everyone❣️

Hello from sunny Florida have a great vacation in SA.
That was so moving, I hope you keep the lovely cards and letters. Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from South Africa
