As for the other gifts with notes, they were joyfully sent. Philip was spot-on when he noted that the Val Saint Lambert decanter was originally introduced as a vanity/nightstand set. The full set in excellent condition is rarely on market. Now to the Mary Gregory glassware: Months ago in one of the Chateau Diaries videos Stephanie was admiring similar glasses at a street brocante. That triggered some digging and I eventually managed to find two for sale online. I scooped them up and off they went to Lalande. The antique brass musical statues happened to catch my eye and I thought they might sit nicely around the piano...or wherever a hint of the sound of music might be needed. Could that be called--- wait for it Philip --- band aid?
Your taste and generosity are unmatched. I'm filled with anticipation every time Stephanie announces that it's a parcel from Michael. May we all meet at Lalande one day.
I'd love to get to meet Michael somehow through your videos. He sounds like someone who has excellent taste, a lot of cash to splash around and some serious talent with writing. I think I will miss everyone sharing a part of their own life stories along with the gifts they send when Chateau Unwrapped comes to an end. I love to hear the heart warming and sometimes heart breaking stories. It makes the people around the world feel a bit closer.
You could leave a book like that on a coffee table for all of your guests to write notes to you guys, I think that would be so sweet and fun to read. I just got a silky black blouse that has red tulips going down each side to wear for Thanksgiving, your scarf just reminded me of my shirt so much we could be twinning. 👯♀️
Please do tell Michael Petherick about this letter. He got snarky comments on some videos and now seldom releases content. He needs to hear that even of some don't like his videos, others love and need it.
Do not store water in old lead crystal. Its ok to drink out of it, but not to store liquid for long periods of time. I know it's hard to accept, my favorite bed side glass for water was lead crystal. Just use the decanters for decoration.
Always lovely to see your aunt doing gifts with you - she is such a wonderful, generously minded person. I love her. The little dog is such a lovely addition to proceedings too.
Such beautiful, thoughtful gifts from each person and Michael T’s excellent taste, thoughtfulness, and generosity speaks to a very kind soul who delights us all.
Thank you for your Cadeaux series. Your videos keep me smiling while there is no video from Chateaux La Land. You are the only vlog I follow, and funny enough from your portrait mode filmed video no.1 when doing the mighty historical dresses. I am sending warm greetings from Prague. Oldrich 👠 PS. I realised I have the same boy and girl glasses at home only in spring grass green colour. 💚
I don't know if you guys have seen/recognized this, but when Lancelot looks directly face on into the camera, he ACTUALLY looks like he has a tiny little mustache under his nose!! He's such a cute little pup!
Phillip's pun made me squeamish!🤢 The word " uplifted" will never be the same again.😂 Hoping Tonton Stephen's nail will heal. The gifts were all exquisite especially the set of blue glasses.💙
