An EXTRA LONG Gift Opening: porcelain, jewellery, art & more

[@majorfrost8206]

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.

[@margielynch7196]

What a great tip, never thought of the gums being sore.❤️

[@anitaatwell8287]

Wendy is wrestling a mini tiger 🐯. Michael T. Is a legend! How are we going to live without him?

[@brislingerland3742]

Hanni is hilarious 😅. Her face expressions are worth a TV show 📺. Love to all of you, Brigitte 🌷

[@lisamcbarron6047]

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!!

[@brendagraw3729]

Correct me if I am wrong, was it mentioned at some point that Michael T wrote that he was unable to travel anymore?

[@garnetj69]

​@brendagraw3729 I believe you are correct, but couldn't absolutely state this for fact. ❤

[@EdwardTrunk-jg3wn]

He's not a real person, that's why.

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.

Stephanie I didn't want a dog either...but my husband did...I loved that dog so much. He gave us so much joy.

[@elizabetha.morgan1869]

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!

[@elizabetha.morgan1869]

Typo, his own channel. Sorry.

Oh that "groovy baby" lavender crocheted outfit! So cool 😎 ✌️🌼🌺☮️ And Havilland plates!!! Wow!

[@karena4183]

Thank you about your comment on my disco outfit

[@susans707]

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.

[@calgram]

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.

[@annemackenzie7295]

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 🤗❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love Michael's taste! What beautiful gifts from everyone.

[@paulinedixon3490]

Wendy’s face with the dog. OMG 😂😂😂😂😂 😂

[@smoothsilk47]

Yes Wendy’s expression was worth watching, i thought she was going to explode a few times! Lancelot certainly stole the show😂😂😂

[@annquirke4008]

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!❤😊

[@JustSaralius]

Lancelot might need his puzzles or a chew toy during cadeaux! 😂

Sweet Williams are the longest lasting flowers. They last for many weeks in the garden. Xx

Please don't stop the unwrapping of gifts. It all goes to a good cause. I will miss watching you all😢

[@jeanieallison4899]

That was so much fun! I think Wendy has found a new, little friend.🤣

[@michaelt8727]

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."

[@scarabvoodoo]

I think every woman needs a Michael T in her life. What exquisite taste! ❤

Beautiful gifts as usual ! So pleased you will do a Christmas Cadeaux! Lots of Love xx

[@dalewest4967]

I think Lancelot is desperate to go on to the floor.

[@jillipepper5353]

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 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

[@jeanettesantarelli1795]

Would you please give an update on Percy and your mom please

[@CorkyParker1]

Oh the excitement for Lancelot, smelling the scent from each package. His little nose was working overtime.

[@gillianwills9618]

Just wondered why Lancelot can not go onto the floor?

[@carolinegooder7091]

He is on the floor a lot upstairs or on the heated floors but not the cold ones.😂

[@1231ms54]

Beautiful gifts again, thanks for sharing.

[@melaniewest3947]

Such stunning generous gifts. Thankyou for sharing them

[@lollygee172]

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? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MarialiceOHara-e1r]

Both Stephanie and Phillip have great voices and I would hear them sing a duet

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.

[@kaydonahue]

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.

[@karentodd4910]

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.
