Love the more Steph-centric we've had lately, this felt a bit like Sundays at the Chateau used to feel, like Stephanie is going to teach us a little bit about her world and that's fun! Love seeing Stephanie, Marie, Davey, and Dan lately. Such a likeable bunch of people! Honestly that could be the entire show and it would be extremely pleasant.
yes and stephanie looked as happy as she used to do and was having fun. Bring back the original Stephanie and in dresses not trousers.
@@JuSutton Oh I think she can wear what she wishes, I'm not one to police people's bodies or fashion choices.
When you said "" I have my loved ones on my hand all the time "" it made me smile ... When we were young and so in love my fiancee and I bought the first part of a beautiful wedding set made up of 3 rings ,,,the engagement ring , the wedding ring and a third I affectionately call the suffeRING because it has no designated purpose so the suffeRING it is ....I wore that sign of our love proudly and when we married we purchased the wedding band . Then along came 2 boys , one income and the inability to afford the third ring of the set .....it was identical to the wedding band with 3 small diamonds .....low and behold when the boys were 7 and 10 they presented me with the third ring on Mothers Day ,,, they had had the jeweler exchange the 3 diamonds with the birth stones of each of them , the 2 boys and my beloved . So one day when I pass away my oldest will inherit my engagement ring and the youngest will inherit my wedding band and as for the third , it will remain on my finger to be buried with me so I will have my family with me through eternity ! Sentimentality has become such a thing of the past , so I was all smiles to see you adoring your gifted treasures ! You are such a sweet thing Stephanie , you and Philip are very lucky to have one another ..We will celebrate 46 years in September and still like each other , we love each other dearly but more importantly , we are best friends ! That my dear is the secret !!! cheers Cherryl from Canada
This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
@@blakehahn-atlantaga8510 You are so very welcome ! It was lovely to reminisce , to think about a special time in my life that I had set aside for just a moment in my busy daily life , , but not forgotten , , memories that are triggered by a word or gesture or some such , , that evoke a time or place or event . .... I thank God for the ability to still recall and to share ! Cheers Cherryl from Canada
🥰
…aah…that ring, can’t feed and clothe 1000 people in need; dig a well for clean water in a third world country…buy books for kids in a poor and disenfranchised part of the world. But sure, make a difference in the world with your ring, by burying it where only the worms will keep it company. Come on - use your common sense.
Acido!😢
YOU LOOKED ABSOLUTELY RADIANT IN THAT ORANGE CARDIGAN!
If you love to wear dresses, wear them! You always look so pretty.
very true & well said.
Why is a French fundraiser in London? Thanks for taking us shopping!
The colour of that sweater was invented for you, Stephanie. Hope you’re feeling better.
Marie did a great job narrating the doings at Lelande! Well done! 🌈
The keynote speaker at the fundraiser had such passion - particularly about training and keeping skilled tradespeople (aka artisans) in France (and sharing their expertise with the world). Fantastique!
That's Stéphane Bern. He hosts a history program on French TV called Secrets d'Histoire. And yes, he's a big advocate for heritage preservation.
He is restoring himself an old royal military school in Thiron-Gardais in Western France. He is passionate and does a wonderful job
Stephanie, the orange jumper makes you glow!!! Its a beautiful color on you.
Beautiful footage and voiceover by Marie. Her contributions are a wonderful addition to the vlogs
Love watching Sir Lancelot out walking with his friends.
The rainbow trousers looked so lovely with the bright orange cardigan. The cardigan will look awesome with the black velvet pants you bought. The gentleman that was giving the speech about the importance of restoring the architecture of France was great. He spoke so passionately about his favourite subject. Lovely to see you home Philip, together again on your way back to LaLande. X Anna
Keep wearing dresses Stephanie. It’s a feature not a bug. ❤
Dresses match Stephanie's character and are always such fun. Don't be dragged down to wearing trousers.
You should have got the trousers at the charity shop and had the pockets removed. They looked Dietrich-esque but in a 2020s way!
Marie did a wonderful job filming her portion of the video, especially her foraging. Lancelot's liveliness brings me joy! S.
I so agree with Marie. Butter does make it better! I'm from a Minnesota dairy farm, met and spoke with Julia Child, who signed my book from her, lovely lady. You go Marie!
I’ve just bought a Kindle cookbook: Butter, a Celebration 😀
Fellow Minnesotan here and totally jealous you met Julia child!! Wow! Used to watch her on TV all the time when I was a kid!
Those are phenomenal prices for designer items at a thrift shop. Wow. Oooo no the kitchen chaise longue 😢 why not a window seat then?
Darling, you sew! Those sweet rainbow stripped pants... sew the pocket opening closed and cut off the pocket. I do it all the time on light weight fabric pants & skirts as I agree, I don't like seeing the pocket piece through the fabric.
What a fabulous area your flat is in.
I LOVE second hand /charity shops!! Everytime I flew to England I carried a big sport bag inside my suitcase, because I knew I would come back with a bag full of clothes and they will not fit in the suitcase. London is such a wonderful city, so many things to see, so many places to explore and discover! Thank you for taking us there! I miss London so much!
Does Lancelot tail ever stop wagging? What a happy pup!
Ahhh my London, I cant wait to return myself. Loved the shopping but gasp at charity shop prices regardless of who the designer is. Loved Marie's run around the walled garden and the forest. Marie has clearly claimed the kitchen hasn't she lol. I hope the fundraiser really helps the beautiful and historic building in France, it would be awful to lose them,
You are the only other person I know who adds BUTTER to their porridge.
I am fond of Stéphane Bern. He is devoted to French heritage and does a wonderful job, unpaid. He bought and is beautifully restoring an old royal military school in Western France in Thiron-Gardais
The orange cardigan with your jeans looks amazing on you. We don’t often get to see full body shots of your lovely figure. The speech on the importance of renovating French architecture was great. Thanks for a wonderful video.
Growing up at the Angel with all the shops and local markets was the best ever, I miss the fashion that we had back then. Thank you so much. 💕🇦🇺
When I lived in London thee number 19 bus was also my favorite along with the 52. One day a friend and I decided to go to Brick Lane market really really early so we got on a bus that went there at around 5 am and of course fell asleep. We awoke in the bus depot hours later and then went for a hearty breakfast.
😂
Love your orange cardigan. It is gorgeous and looks lovely on you.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy these vlogs. They just cheer me up.
Found you through Dan, and the two of you together are hilarious. I learned you can't travel anywhere quickly in London by bus, so you may as well sit on the top deck, and take advantage of the time to appreciate the architecture instead. I love your walled garden... one has dreams... sigh...
Lancelot is such a happy dog, it’s so cute 💕 It’s lovely to see Marie out collecting flowers; you’re a bit ahead of us in New England and I always think it’s nice to watch your vlogs in the spring and be reminded of what lovely things are just around the corner.
As always, thanks for taking us along with you on your travels.
What a haul of flowers Marie, as for your walking companions, they would be my choice😂
Stephanie that engagement is just stunning!
London looked wonderful!! ❤🇬🇧
You had me at charity shops ❤😊👍
Those rainbow striped trousers were lovely, I would've cut off the pockets and made them faux pockets!
You always look stunning, Stephanie, and can wear just about anything with style. I have always thought black velvet elegant with blouses and sweaters, I am sure you will find matches in your closet.
I wish I had wonderful charity shops like yours near me! Thanks for taking us along.
NYC also has charity shops like that on the east side.
That porridge looks delicious!❤😂😊
Some years ago I was introduced to Stephane and we pretended to have known each other for years hugging and remembering nightclubs we went to MUCH to the surprise of the designers I was with that day, he is a 'good egg' !
I hope you're feeling better! Take care!
Maria -your peaceful vibe is a pleasure, thank you, sometimes the extroverts wear me out a bit ha haha
I think your orange cardigan will go nicely with your black velvet trousers x
🍊🍃🦊. You look great in orange!🍃. Maybe orange is the new yellow ?!🍃🍊
I'm so happy that the lounge chair is gone from the kitchen! My OCD was screaming.
Me too, soooo unhygenic and cumbersome. Just keep the area clutter free as any professional chef/cook would tell you.
I loved those rainbow striped trousers on you. When you said you weren't getting them, I was like 'noooooooo'
Neat! We went all over the place! From London, to La Lande, to London and learning about French heritage and finally exhausted from all the travels, to sleep! What a learning experience!
Nous espérons que vous irez mieux. Votre santé doit être votre priorité. Vous avez beaucoup gâté vos abonnés aux cours des derniers mois en aventures de toutes sortes. ❤
Have to say, no one should tell anyone else what to wear. You should wear what makes you feel good. You always look lovely 😊
Keep to your own original style with so many amazing dresses - it was superb. We are not in the Stepford Wives era.
I always find something wonderful in the charity shops of St Johns Wood. I used to live right on the high street so it's a lovely mix of nostalgia & shopping. Thank you for taking us with you!
Always fun to trip along with Stephanie, shopping, helping charity, peaking at her lovely rings, finding more treasures in London, and who doesn't love seeing the cute spirited doggies daily, along with a fresh morning tasty porridge adorned by Marie! Life is good and spring is even better to enjoy! the moments!
Black goes very well with Red or Pink or Gold, etc. so matching blacks not necessarily a worry. :)
After a few days of hard work i finally caught up with the last video. ❤️ I must say I somehow saw dark clouds over the chateau for a little bit, but now you and Philipp look so much happier again. I think it’s good for you to just do what you like the most. Spending time with Mr. John and his partner really brightened Philip up ☀️ and just strolling and shopping is what makes you glow from the inside. The smile on Philip‘s face was so priceless after the thrifting tour, he was swaggering like a beautiful peacock. 🦚
I hope you are feeling better today, Stephanie. Have you ever slept on bamboo sheets? They are by far the most comfortable sheets IMO. I highly recommend you get a set and try them. You will never want to sleep on cotton sheets again.
Oooh Stephane Bern! It would be an enormous coup if you managed to get him to come to Lalande with his partner!
So jealous of the charity shops in Europe!
I love going to charity shops! The ones in London look fabulous! I’m going to London in August and so plan to go to some. 🤗🇨🇦
Marie, in her element.
I was born & raised in Islington, the Angel & Chapel Market were my local shopping areas & I lived just off of Pentonville Road it’s a lovely area but after 29 years I moved to Kent when I got married as it got to expensive to live there. ❤️🇬🇧
Charity shops are one of the great joys of living in London. I shall go to St John’s Wood, as I had never checked those out! It’s a shame that unlike France, you never find nice antique objects or furniture here: as soon as something nice comes in, they call the antiques dealer or a staff member snatches it up.
They been doing that for years,and some charity shop managers in uk some themselves have antique shops and syphon off the best stuff..
Lovely rhubard, I managed to grow a clump.😊
How exciting that you love the # 19 bus! 🚌 When I studied abroad I lived in Clerkenwell just south of Angel and I would take 19 or 38 to school. I was always late so I have many memories of hopping on the bus when it was stopped in traffic. This was the old open red buses and they were changing them to the new enclosed style when I lived then. You brought back happy memories 😊
Butter is my favorite food group and it does make everything better 🥰
Mine too.
Steph, YOU NEED THOSE RAINBOW STRIPES!!! just trim the pockets 😊
Stephane Bern est un homme passionné et passionnant. Ses émissions (secret d'histoire) nous apprennent beaucoup sur notre histoire. Il est un merveilleux conteur.
Stephanie, of course, separates can be so much fun to mix and match. You never have to wear the same outfit twice, but where it makes you feel good. I can’t stand a tight something or rather around my waist, it makes me cranky
I was really interested why there was a fundraiser for French heritage in London.
So good to see Davy! I like how you quickly said the Neverlands to Philip, knowing you just came back from Japan. lol Yes that was weird to not see the chair in the kitchen anymore. But it does open up that area more. Liking the no curtains on the windows. But looking forward to see what you guys decide to do. Hope you all are doing well!
I love orange.🧡
I love charity shop shopping ..everytime we pop over to uk to see family the first place we gwad is the charity shops..not the ones with prices like in London thankfully.. so here we are back in Devon with 6 lovely short sleeved shirts for my husband, wonderful brands too, in perfect condition, 2 jumpers for me, trousers and two gorgeous scarves plus 2 long summer dresses..perfect..still have just 8ver 2 weeks to go so I am sure that tally will rise..
Love watching Maries foraging. Very peaceful. And she has such a calming voice
Maybe someone could build a pretty window seat into that little space in the kitchen where the chaise was? Would take up less room in the area and cushion could be covered in a pretty toile. Just a thought.
Love all your purchases 🌟
And love that you have poured your heart into the Chapel of Saint Joseph 🥰
Hope you are feeling better ❤
I’d love to go thrift shopping with you Stephanie , it’s so much fun and you’re right , you really can find great treasures in there.
I have a three tiered little Royal Albert cake stand on my table in front of me for afternoon tea I purchased for 5euro in the charity shop. ❤
Marie will you need lighting at your work bench? Stephanie you could have had the pockets removed from those lovely pants. Lovely Video and best wishes.
Thank you for taking us along
I think what Phillip is referring to is called a capsule wardrobe, where you have separates that are easy to mix and match. Mm personal styling on you tube explains it really well.
Love MM I’ve learned so much from her!👏🇨🇦👏
Those thrift shops had some really fancy things in them. That sweater is beautiful. Lancelot is having fun with Marie and his friends. ❤
There nothing like finding treasures at scond hand shops ❤ u go in empty handed and come out with something. ❤
Your London bus trips had me just a tad nostalgic - I've been in Oz for 40+ yrs now
Oh marvelous charity shops.❤
Loved the shops in London!❤
I hope you are feeling better!
Your videos always lift my spirits . Thank you. 😊❤
Wow those are some shops. I would love looking in them all. 🦋
You can remove the pockets from pants (I've done this before and it changes everything!). Just make sure to stitch the opening together.
Wow. Awesome shopping!
What a great day for shopping, I love charity shops so many treasures to find 🤗
In the past I have removed pockets from slightly see=through or bulky trouser lines, they looked so good on you with the cardigan!
BUTTER MAKES LIFE BETTER! Love that statement Marie, how true. Lots of Love from London, Pam
Stephanie, great episode. I am coming to London and definitely will put a bit of charity shopping on my list.
Hi Marie, I really enjoyed your foraging for flowers walking with the dogs! That is my idea of heaven!
What a lovely trip to London! You certainly were busy and still managed to look lovely. The charity shops are amazing. Thank you for the tour. ❤
Have the talented and handsome Amoury (sp?) build a removable window seat/bench where the chaise used to be. Stephanie can sew a big thick comfy cushion to put on top. It can slide in and out for access to the pipes when needed. Lancelot can lay there and it should be deep enough and wide enough to enjoy a book and a cup of tea.
Hope you are feeling better Stephanie!
All the puppies❤❤❤
So excited for you❤
I love seeing what kind of things you can thrift!
SUPERB reportage. thank you 💖💖🙏🙏
Thank you for the video!
Those strawberry shoes were fabulous. Love the cardigan you purchased!
😃 Smashing that vavoom gorgeous orange cardigan Miss Stephanie...stepping lively now🥰. Just love it. 🧡 💯 xx
