As a women of colored from South Africa we thank you for your love and kindness 🇿🇦🇿🇦 sending you all hugs of comfirt and support to you and her family ❤❤❤

[@katierobertsart5658]

How touched I was to see the flowers appear again in Cadeaux today! I was thinking of you so much the last couple of days and looking out for the video as I knew it would be a sign of how you are going... I could almost feel you trying to pull the strength together to do it, and the feeling of breaking down into despair as well. So much strength and love to you all. It will feel good to have done this again I am sure, as there is comfort and strength to be found in returning to the routine and normality of life, even know it is simultaneously heartbreaking to do so. So much love Xx

[@maryschlotter108]

You are all very kind and strong to have continued with Cadeaux. In times of deep sorrow there is nothing more difficult then to carry on. I lost my beloved mother this past year and when I had to eulogize her there was nothing more painful then to write one and then stand up before all those people and speak. But I did it out of love for her, I summoned the strength . This is what all of you did, out love and respect for a beautiful life gone too soon.

[@thewhiteschoolhouse]

Much love to you all ❤ I will be sure to pass on your message for Marie. She is working really hard as a wedding florist in Oslo, still creating stunning florals. I know she misses you all a lot. ❤ Big hugs from Gunnvei ( Marie’s Mum )

[@TheDoozer52]

Give her our love please, she is a beautiful young lady and we miss her at La Lande, but I also follow her on her channel xxx Doreen , Australia

Stephanie and Phillip, the brooch that holds a flower was always worn by Pirot (played by David Suchet) He played a very dandy, smartly dressed, meticulous detective in Agatha Christie's "Pirot". I have watched every episode, loved him playing the part, it was set in the Art Nouveau area and style. Love you all, xxx Doreen, Australia

[@kathleensmith8365]

I loved Suchet's portrayal of Poirot!

[@elizabethsteven9797]

I think he found it in a charity shop and thought it would be right for the character of Poriot. Something so tiny but very impactful

[@kevincherry3116]

I believe these pieces of jewelry are called Tussy -Mussies

[@mindakahn9964]

Took the words out of my head. It’s definitely a Hercule Poirot brooch. Sweet Posy Brooch, there’s a story behind it in the Mystery of the Chocolate Box, but I don’t remember what it is.

[@donnamcmillan6950]

​@@mindakahn9964 Yes David always wears it in the P. episodes. I saw the episode where he is given it by a woman he admired.

[@ntakovacj3644]

I am moved to say -- something -- and for once, I have trouble expressing my -- appreciation -- for the kindness and light you extend share here.

[@allymayful]

Same here. For once, l had a shot at expressing those feelings. Hope it might express some of yours as well. 😊

[@Shelley_H]

Know how hard this is but so grateful you have decided to come back to us. We'll do our best to help lift you up.

[@maryjanekolesar8325]

Having learned to live with life changing grief for the past 25 years and to have it renewed in 2020 and 2021, it is natural and the way of things for Life to keep knocking at your door, even though your loss is still fresh, it's not disrespectful to renew the gift opening and as Nati said, presenters are eager for your joy. XO

[@figencebe9287]

Much much love to you Stephanie ❤ and to all La Landers ❤ you don’t know most of us, but we see you Stephanie & Philipp and all of you as our friends … you don’t even need to say that you are sad, we see it very clearly … and we don’t want to see you sad even if it is also part of life … you’ve been cheering us all during difficult times for some time now … so it is our turn to do so … warm hugs & kisses ❤

[@katiemoody3282]

My one year old daughter and I watched this together at breakfast (the high chair is the only thing that keeps her still enough to watch a video). She thought it was FaceTime and spent the whole video chatting back to you and commenting on the gifts. Glad to see you back ❤

[@anaisbloem8205]

How sweet ❤

[@theartyswan]

That’s beautiful ❤

[@isabelmonday]

If you caught that on camera it would have been priceless lololol we need more warm heart moments like this .Life is so hard for so many going through stuff and what a moment of Joy your comment brought, like a blast of sunshine across a dark thundery sky. Your baby is soooo cute x God bless

[@rhondathomas7952]

It was the Spode video Stephanie that turned me onto your channel. My daughter sent it to me because I collect blue and white China and she thought that it would be the exact right video to make me want to watch your channel. She started watching it at the very beginning.

[@mikemike2683]

Hi Rhonda How are you today? 🌹

[@annettesharrock1236]

Thankyou so much at this time for you all. 😘 The gifts were beautiful as always. Loved watching Stephanie and the gang of Lalande😘

[@lizstevenson7801]

You all did so well under the heavy cloud of sadness, thank you Stephanie and Lalande family members. Spring is here for you so enjoy the new things popping up in and around you. Please remember you give so much joy to many people who like you are maybe going through difficult times at the moment, stay strong. With much love to you all 💕🇦🇺

Hi Liz 😊 How are you today? 🌹🌿

[@heidi.a.thomson]

How about creating a little garden on behalf of the beautiful and talented young lady the world has just lost? I feel doing something like that will help with healing and to keep her creative spirit alive. XO

[@sandicarpenter2658]

that was mentioned in the last video....a memory garden in the woods x

[@jillshanahan3979]

Thank you for all your honesty. I also, love Pavlovia

[@katelanxner6483]

What a great episode. Thank you for coming back. It lifted my spirits. The jewelry is so my taste so I am very envious! The blue of the cufflinks-- how gorgeous.

[@caronich]

Just catching up on your vlogs and sad to hear about the passing of Mmakhotso. So glad to hear about the contributions going directly to her family. Currently over 33,000 ZAR have been raised which is over $1,846 US dollars including the $1,000 from Laland. Honestly, I am a big gift giver, giving can make me as happy if not moreso than receiving. I think this is why I enjoy watching the Cadeaux so much🤗🎁

[@marciadynes7628]

The broches can be lovley in shadow box lined with black velvet to display and still take them out as you wear them but you can enjoy all time instead being in jewlery case just a thought to enjoy everyday

[@johncunningham1098]

Be strong and stand firm. You have been so gracious and kind to so many. I’ve always been impressed with you. You are not threatened by the success of others and you have always reached out to include others who may be perceived as competitors. Keep going and don’t lose sight of your vision. When you are down, take the long view down the road. It’s going to be wonderful!

[@lindsueconcepcion6790]

Sorry I am late but I am so happy you received my package opened and read at the end of this video. Coincidentally, the icons does resembles your father’s lovely arts and how I wish I could send more but I was running out of time. I just love everything you do and all La Landers…Much love and respect

[@joseebellemare7535]

I am so happy to see your smiling faces again!!!! I hope you all feel a lot better. Xx

[@TdotTwiFic]

I feel like the jewellery, especially brooches, can be displayed onto a very plain wall tapestry in Narnia attic so that they can be on view and stored at the same time. Reminds me of the blankets of pins for all the collectors. Make a scene of the brooches or organized by colour, just dreamy.

[@embartrum8036]

Sending gratitude to you all.

[@anniehalbert5848]

A message forJared, if there are too many broaches in the Chateau you might want to consider using your amazing artistic talents to make a broach bouquet or a wreath. You might even find a vase not in use or an undecorated door in which you can place the handmade beauty. Check with the Chatelaine to see if she can part with any of the broaches first!! Fingers crossed you take my suggestion!!

[@DougLund-uj6nw]

Stephanie, last Thursday you showed Nick and Cameron cutting down some of your big trees, you mentioned making memorial gardens in your woods, you should have Nick and Cameron cut the big big tree stumps into chairs and set the big stumps upright for tables that you could put flower pots on

Its OK to not be OK, your care and compassion for her family show the sort of people that you are, remember you helped her achieve her dreams and I am sure she would want you to continue helping others. It is hard and we all grieve in different ways and we all take different amounts of time to be able to function again, there is no right or wrong way,take as much time as you need and remember you are loved and respected all around the world and we will wait until you are ready to be you again.

I’m so glad you made the video. This is true life. True life isn’t always great and the tuff times will come and go. You all are being transparent for filming during the tough times too.

[@christinevr7698]

Mkhotso (sp) was full of light and joy. Yes you must express and process your grief in as much time as you need but I also think she wouldn’t want you to be too sad for long. I believe the love you had for each other will remain long after the sadness. So glad you found solace in the kindness and beauty of the gifts given to you today. Thinking of all of you. 💖 Also how lovely that you are arranging a fund for Gogo. I love this community so much.

[@darlenechandler2403]

So sad that lovely woman passed. She was so happy to receive that scholarship and her grandmother too. She must have been so overwhelmed. It is so sad that she could not have been helped more, but at least her grandmother will be looked after and helped with anything she will need.

She wasn’t even able to attend school any longer due to financial difficulties and transportation.

[@alaska53]

Hi Philip the collar stud may also be a tie tack. Does the round part come apart? The bar at the end of the chain usually goes into the buttonhole behind the tie and there may be a small tack to pierce the center of the tie. I hope this makes sense but Google tie tack with chain for a better explanation 😊

The Tea Towels are amazing, the size is perfect, In the US, particularly the southern states, are in high demand. They are unusually expensive & highly desirable. You are so Luckey to have received. In additions, the work to personalize them is amazing.

[@LynnaeaEmber]

The tea in the first gift are my favorites, Earl Grey, Green with Jasmine, and English Breakfast all good choices. I am never without them in my pantry. The card with the Goldfinches on the cover is lovely. They are also called Wild Canaries by some people; although they don't sing like domestic canaries they are pretty.,

You’re modeling how coming together in community can lift everyone’s spirits. Thank you for again providing the link to the fund raiser. It’s simple to use, and if you wish they’ll send updates.

[@OliviaPlummer]

Holding you and Mkoto's family in my heart these days. There is no rhyme or reason why some things happen oe when it does. A lot of beautiful people are taken too soon by violence or disease, or mistake. I read that it only takes 1 person to affect change by meditating on compassion and peace within the vicinity of 8.000 people and make a poignant shift will occur. It has been documented. I know by the videos of Mkoto that she was an authentic woman. She will be remembered. I hope to contribute to the go fund me fundraiser too. I will take a moment each day for the rest of my life to feel real compassion for myself, and everyone who bothers me, plus those who greatly inspire me and I hope to see a change in leadership and a focus on climate elevation, good will towards elephants and the freedom for all people, earth, and animals especially our gentle giants the whales, dolphins, beluga's and all aquatic life too. We need harmony in this world, right now. It's the best possible outcome. R.I.P Mkoto.

I saw on B’s fb that Stef was in Dubai last weekend. So this vlog must have been recorded for the previous weeks Cadeux but they didn’t release it.

[@kl5621]

@@jkdw Brenda Gibbons. Chateau employee or volunteer. I think she’s one of this channels admins and deletes comments she doesn’t like. They did the vlog last week but said they were to sad to do the vlog, but just didn’t release it because of the backlash re duty of care to the young lady who passed. The incident has caused a lot of questions globally. A lot of followers are have picked up that she was o/s last weekend, deceptive behaviour, did this vlog last week therefore disingenuous behaviour.

I can tell how hard this was on all of you and that your emotions were high even as you tried to smile. Sometimes that is what you have to do in order to get through the worst of times, pretend that you are okay or as some say, fake it till you make it. Much love to you all.

Going forward instead of people sending gifts, why don't you have a list of charities people can donate to instead, surely you don't need anymore stuff?

Good afternoon from the SF Bay Area! Glad to have you back at the Cadeaux at the Chateau.
