Another fun cadeaux! I thought I'd pass along this small tip for Lancelot. He may be teething and that's one reason why he's getting a little "bite-y". What we used to do for our pups is to get some of the sort of dish clothes that are made of cotton in a coarse weave, cut them into 2 inch strips and knot them together in twos. Then we'd get them thoroughly wet, squeeze them out and pop them into a ziploc bag and put that in the freezer. When Lancelot's gums are a bit sore and hot you can grab one for him to have a good chew, cooling and massaging his gums with the cloth. When he's finished chewing (it's a good tug of war toy too!) you can toss them into the wash and then freeze them again.
At one point in this video, you mentioned that you all have never met Michael T!!!! I was blown away by that revelation...all this time I thought it was someone you knew, maybe a part owner of the Chateau or a lifelong friend of yours/the family! You simply MUST have him as a guest at some point to the Chateau!!!!! As everyone has said: his "prose" is superb and his gifts to the Chateau and you all are as well!! Michael T has exquisite taste, a fantastic sense of humor and is a very smart guy!!
Great episode today! Stephanie, you have so many talents. One that stands out is your oral reading with such expression. Audio books orator could be a future job.
So nice to find this video in the middle of the night I'm struggling to sleep. Sending love to Stephanie and everyone at Lalande. Alicia from Florida. ❤
Watched this today on the treadmill in the gym and I didn’t even feel my workout 🤣 I was smiling all the way through, my fellow gym bunnies must have been wondering what was so great on the TV ❤️ Thanks for providing such a happy and delightful distraction 🤗❤️🏴
To clarify-the early 1050's through to the 1920's in the U.S. was the height of the cottage industries of women artists as well as a pastime of genteel ladies to decorate fine plain white imported china like Limoge.
What a great Cadeau. Lovely to see Hanny & Wendy & your beautiful aunt. Michael T is so generous & lovely. I’m really going to miss Cadeau when it finishes. I have watched it from the beginning & am blown away by people’s generosity & good humor. It’s wonderful to watch. I hope one day we get to see Mr T. There’s no other channel like Cadeau Love it!❤😊
Just a thought: I always find it insightful and amusing how a bouquet of roses, with its rich colors, delightful fragrance and delicately patterned petals, is seen by some as a thing of beauty to be admired and enjoyed while others see only the thorns. I say, "Open mind, insert joy."
The cuteness overload of dear Sir Lance alot, he should have his over channel of ( The Legendendary foot travels of Sir Lancealot) with a gopro on his harness documenting his view of the world whilst hes growing up at the Chateau. Puppyhood is so short!
The Doily: my grandmothers and great grandmother made many beautiful doilies and the ones that had parts like the roses were soaked in starch or a thicker sugar syrup and the petal parts would be raised up so when they dried they were textured like actual flowers . It’s fairly easy to do but sometimes we had to use toothpicks or wads of tissue paper or plastic to keep them raised up till they dried. They also made some pineapple shaped ones as well. Another winter craft project? Lovely to see this video, it made a fun Friday evening to spend the time watching you all 🥰🙋🏼♀️
Two thoughts. Maybe Travels with my Friend will have a special edition “Traveling with Hannie”. Second, if Michael T is unable to travel to Lalande, perhaps you could travel to him? 🤷🏼♂️
Always have fun and have big smiles watching your videos. Hannie is so quick and humorous, the exitement of you Steph, Phillips quick way with quips, Wendy taking care of cute little Lancelot....just a lot of fun!
A friend was wearing Samurai sword earrings, hand made so that they pierced her ears. The blade attached under the ear. That part disappeared and so my children ran everywhere looking for the back blade at a wedding. They went under tables, just everywhere. As a joke, I said, "Look in your brassiere!", as a joke. A sister used to lose her earrings there, and found one in an ice bucket. It was there!... In the brassiere!
When Davey found that yellow rose that was planted in the courtyard it probably was yellow. I have had yellow & pink rose + pink Hibiscus turn white!. There was a lot of coffee grounds that I threw there. It forever changed the color to white.
I remember several years ago that you did individual interviews during advent. They were great as we got to know the background and lives of many Lalanders and to listen to how they arrived ar the Chateau. it's a form of human curiosity I suppose. Please could you consider these again ? Hanni (excuse spelling) is most fascinating for example and I'm always intrigued to know her more. It helps to understand human journeys which intrigue me whether they are from past centuries or current now.
What a lovely letter from Jess (a fellow aussie hehe). I have been thinking this for a while, but Jess' letter is a great example... Maybe instead of gifts, just letters? I so love hearing all the stories from all around the world x
Oh my … kill me, so totally admire Steffanies ability to constantly admire the unwrapping of totally useless gifts.. the reading of the long length cards… I hang in for something special.. it does happen on occasional… gold star you guys ! You almost convince me that you “ love it “
I’m sooo happy you’re continuing this MAYBE.. Ihave had a package to send out for some time, and now I can send it. maybe it will be opened next year. Even if not on camera I know it’s something everyone will use. Phillip you need to start a channel for Lancelot. Can call it Lancelots Great Adventures, heaven knows he’s already a world traveler.. Could be a, “where’s Lancelot” game. YOU can be HIS wingman. Thanks for doing this video, made my holiday evening more fun.
This is Grandma from Texas. Maybe y’all could suggest people can send items that you can resell in your little shop. Y’all could use proceeds to help fund the Chateau restoration.
A note regarding the Haviland plates: Haviland Limoges was the first company to have artists on site to decorate their plates Many other porcelain companies had their plates sent out for decorating. Haviland artists would sign their plates, sometimes on the front, often on the back. However, signing the plates was not always done and depended on the status or rank of the artist. It also depended on the period in which the plates were produced. For your set of six, it can’t be said with certainty whether the Haviland artist or the plates’ eventual owner signed them though It’s more likely to have been the artist.
Would you please spring for a better microphone system..with Phil behind the camera his voice is dominant and the others are muffled. I'd like to hear Stephanie clearly.
I have been watching for quite some time, but I’m unfamiliar with the two ladies other than your aunt sitting beside you? I always enjoy seeing your aunt and uncle.
Philip, you’re slipping! Stephanie, you have “chandelears” while wearing those earrings! 😂 I just purchased the audiobook version of The Blue Rose. The reader, Karen Cass, is stupendous!
I have had dogs in my life since the day I was born. Many breeds and even four at one time. I have been accused of spoiling my dogs and I have to agree but I do beleive that the woman who said “no dogs” has me beat. I think LaLande has a new Chatelaine, oops I should say Chatelain. Lancelot is so adorable. I am glad I am not there because I might have to make off with him.
Dream is a wonderful thing to help you face all the difficult times and one day you will be able to achieve your dreams. I dream all the time about the things that I want to do and improve in my house and even if I am broke as a church mouse I dream that one day not so far in the future I will be able to achieve my dream.❤

What a great tip, never thought of the gums being sore.❤️
Hanni is hilarious 😅. Her face expressions are worth a TV show 📺. Love to all of you, Brigitte 🌷

Michael T has exquisite taste, a fantastic sense of humor and is a very smart guy!!
Correct me if I am wrong, was it mentioned at some point that Michael T wrote that he was unable to travel anymore?
@brendagraw3729 I believe you are correct, but couldn't absolutely state this for fact. ❤
He's not a real person, that's why.
😊
Wendy is wrestling a mini tiger 🐯. Michael T. Is a legend! How are we going to live without him?
Great episode today! Stephanie, you have so many talents. One that stands out is your oral reading with such expression. Audio books orator could be a future job.
Blue sweater looks great on Hanni
So nice to find this video in the middle of the night I'm struggling to sleep. Sending love to Stephanie and everyone at Lalande. Alicia from Florida. ❤
Me too! Midnight here in Tennessee!
Almost 10 o’clock here in California, not sleeping any time soon 😊❤
@@ginafinch8657Hi Gia I am in CA too, in Fresno. Don’t you just so enjoy LaLande?
Sorry Gina sp
I’m watching in Northern California at 11:30pm
So many beautiful things! It’s so nice seeing Hanni again, she has been missed 😁😁😁
Stephanie I didn't want a dog either...but my husband did...I loved that dog so much. He gave us so much joy.
I do love the unwrapping of the wonderful things sent from all over the globe. It must feel like Christmas every day.😊❤
I love Michael's taste! What beautiful gifts from everyone.
Oh that "groovy baby" lavender crocheted outfit! So cool 😎 ✌️🌼🌺☮️ And Havilland plates!!! Wow!
Thank you about your comment on my disco outfit
Watched this today on the treadmill in the gym and I didn’t even feel my workout 🤣 I was smiling all the way through, my fellow gym bunnies must have been wondering what was so great on the TV ❤️ Thanks for providing such a happy and delightful distraction 🤗❤️🏴
In the USA during the 50s-60s, it was a hobby to buy porcelain and hand paint it as you theorized. My Mother was quite fond of the painting.
To clarify-the early 1050's through to the 1920's in the U.S. was the height of the cottage industries of women artists as well as a pastime of genteel ladies to decorate fine plain white imported china like Limoge.
Sweet Williams are the longest lasting flowers. They last for many weeks in the garden. Xx
God bless Michael T😮😮😮😮😮His gifts are so stunning.
What a great Cadeau. Lovely to see Hanny & Wendy & your beautiful aunt. Michael T is so generous & lovely. I’m really going to miss Cadeau when it finishes.

Typo, his own channel. Sorry.
Wow, we really must meet Michael T. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️
That sweater is definitely Hanni’s color! 🩵💚🩵
I think every woman needs a Michael T in her life. What exquisite taste! ❤
Wendy was such a sweet puppy sitter.
Please don't stop the unwrapping of gifts. It all goes to a good cause. I will miss watching you all😢
So glad to have Honey back. Amazing in that sweater. Slay, slay, Honey.
Such stunning generous gifts. Thankyou for sharing them
Those little felt animals are so cute luv the earrrings.
Beautiful gifts again, thanks for sharing.
Such beautiful gifts
Tante, you dress so beautifully. 😊. The plates are lovely😊
Wendy’s face with the dog. OMG 😂😂😂😂😂 😂
Yes Wendy’s expression was worth watching, i thought she was going to explode a few times! Lancelot certainly stole the show😂😂😂
Beautiful gifts as usual ! So pleased you will do a Christmas Cadeaux! Lots of Love xx
You're dog/ My dog is the joy of having a fur baby.
😂😂❤️🇨🇦
Oh the excitement for Lancelot, smelling the scent from each package. His little nose was working overtime.
Michael T great gifts as always 👏👏👏
The sweaters and blanket are gorgeous! 🩵🩷💛
Thank you about your comment on my knitting
That was so much fun!
I think Wendy has found a new, little friend.🤣
Anyone notice that Lancelot is in absolute heaven? He is enjoying every minute of that soothing head rub. Hugs from Houston ❤
Both Stephanie and Phillip have great voices and I would hear them sing a duet
WOW that pink sweater perfect

Lovely to see this video, it made a fun Friday evening to spend the time watching you all 🥰🙋🏼♀️
Lancelot might need his puzzles or a chew toy during cadeaux! 😂
One of the best channels to watch this Chateau Unwrapped its just so much fun .
What a blessing
I love the chain belt comment from Wendy! I had such a 70's flashback!!!
Two thoughts. Maybe Travels with my Friend will have a special edition “Traveling with Hannie”. Second, if Michael T is unable to travel to Lalande, perhaps you could travel to him? 🤷🏼♂️
I bought little animals for my Christmas tree today. Well. Lancelot is VERY cute and entertaining. Love to you all.
Oof, did philip really invite himself on the girl’s trip to the Maldives? Lol
The dog he thinks he’s a cat to trying to climb on the back of the couch
Everything is lovely ❤
Lancelot acts like a dog that needs a break outside.
Beautiful sweaters luv lavender set
I could see Dana the chef in that purple outfit😊
Always have fun and have big smiles watching your videos. Hannie is so quick and humorous, the exitement of you Steph, Phillips quick way with quips, Wendy taking care of cute little Lancelot....just a lot of fun!

Love that you have. Little bit of Dubai with you in your puzzle 🧩 sending you love health and happiness from Dubai ❤❤❤
Champagne Hanni 🥂🍾🦚🎄🎬
Wendy is such a celebrity to us lol
Same here
Efficiency earnings!! 😂❤
I think Lancelot is desperate to go on to the floor.
I luv Zienias and Sweet William .Zienias in Ontario are annuals . My Sweet William comes up every year.
I love to make Oysters Rockefeller. Yummy. I found my mother's black velvet tapestry coin purse after she had passed away. It is so beautiful. 🙂🇨🇦
Would you please give an update on Percy and your mom please
If someone made a movie with Hanni~I would watch it ! You are just such a wunderful spirit like Steph also
Yes!
My mom woke me with
Get up little birdie
Get out of your nest
You should be up and about with the rest.😅
Beautiful gifts!
When Davey found that yellow rose that was planted in the courtyard it probably was yellow. I have had yellow & pink rose + pink Hibiscus turn white!. There was a lot of coffee grounds that I threw there. It forever changed the color to white.
As always, beautiful and very generous gifts! 🙏❤️

Beau Cadeaux aujourd'hui! Merci beaucoup to your wonderful helpers including Lancelot!!!🤎
Yeah I always says “the early worm gets eaten.” 😆
What a lovely letter from Jess (a fellow aussie hehe).
I have been thinking this for a while, but Jess' letter is a great example... Maybe instead of gifts, just letters? I so love hearing all the stories from all around the world x
I can see Philip working at Limoges.
It's so nice to watch people who love porcelain as much as I do. Have you ever seen RS Prussia porcelain?
Someone needs to find those doggy buttons they can be taught to use for words.
Oh my … kill me, so totally admire Steffanies ability to constantly admire the unwrapping of totally useless gifts.. the reading of the long length cards…
I hang in for something special.. it does happen on occasional… gold star you guys ! You almost convince me that you “ love it “
I skip the lengthy letters... takes up far too much airspace...
@@mariadange06me too
Hey, in all seriousness, if you need me to reach out to your local authorities and report those who are forcing you to watch, just send us a sign!
@@Kels0423 Sad that you think in terms that authority rules your life, thankfully freewill means we can simply press forward on dreary parts.
Love this Cadeau. maybe just do 1 every month or every 6 weeks
Thank you Philip, I'm drinking fire ball . It's very chilly here.
I’m sooo happy you’re continuing this MAYBE.. Ihave had a package to send out for some time, and now I can send it. maybe it will be opened next year.

Could be a, “where’s Lancelot” game. YOU can be HIS wingman. Thanks for doing this video, made my holiday evening more fun.
'Gotta luv' Michael T. Fabulous taste and wit! Or is Michael P?
Thanks love you Guys !!!!!!!!!
Just put 2 1000 piece puzzle together my husband and I.
I think Lancelot & Wendy are fast friends. ❤
Poor Wendy, she looks uncomfortable with the dog.
The little handbag was my mother’s so it is probably about the 1930’s as she would have been in her 20’s after 1933. I don’t think she ever used it
This is Grandma from Texas. Maybe y’all could suggest people can send items that you can resell in your little shop. Y’all could use proceeds to help fund the Chateau restoration.
Stephanie said If they can't use the items, they send the items to the local charity. They don't like to resell. ❤
Lancelot is probably teething if he is biting a bit. He needs chew sticks and toys. I adore him.
I adore him too, I want one just like him
Me too ❤
Philip that made me laugh because the only thing I can say in Danish is I love you so I don't say it very often
Phillip always knows who gets what and where everything should go. Kudos.
A note regarding the Haviland plates: Haviland Limoges was the first company to have artists on site to decorate their plates Many other porcelain companies had their plates sent out for decorating.

Just wondered why Lancelot can not go onto the floor?
He is on the floor a lot upstairs or on the heated floors but not the cold ones.😂
Would you please spring for a better microphone system..with Phil behind the camera his voice is dominant and the others are muffled. I'd like to hear Stephanie clearly.
I have been watching for quite some time, but I’m unfamiliar with the two ladies other than your aunt sitting beside you? I always enjoy seeing your aunt and uncle.
Philip, you’re slipping! Stephanie, you have “chandelears” while wearing those earrings! 😂
I just purchased the audiobook version of The Blue Rose. The reader, Karen Cass, is stupendous!
My way””was written by the late French singer Claude Francois and was titled “” Comme d’Habitude””!
cadeaux couture!
