EASTER GIFTS AT THE CHATEAU!!!

[@Marykguise]

The mouse stole the show!! Incredible! And so incredible to see how touched Philip was. Precious 💗

[@ellengordon2933]

OMG! This Chateau Unwrapped was one of the funniest yet. Philip and his Dutch mouse were making me laugh so hard that I was crying! So sweet, so innocent, so lovely. Thank you!

[@juliehinkel608]

The mouse with an entire backstory. Priceless.

[@snoopybluejeans]

I was totally enthralled. :-)

[@jayshreeoram2746]

the look in Philip's eyes.....he moves.....lol

[@roywirick9854]

OMG the look on philip’s face when he opened that mini suitcase! priceless! that was a very clever and personal gift to create! wendy has such talent! 🦩🐇🦔🐀 (can someone create a mouse emoji for the ipad?)

[@susandewolfe4876]

The birds on the Salt Water Taffy are actually puffins which are the funniest birds on the planet especially when they are taking off

[@taitweigel64]

Stephanie and Phillip you are still darling children at heart. I love the mouse with tiny accessories too. So nice you are home again. Andy's watercolours are charming. She is a lovely woman.

[@christinetonkins4183]

Really enjoyable watch love the banter between Nati and Phillip 😀👌

[@moonlighteternal8024]

Phillip really suits the Chateau and it's era. He looks like he is from a time gone by. Beautiful skin too. Loved all the lovely gifts- your fans are SO very talented. You are all absolutely wonderful! Thanks for the pure Joy of allowing us to step into your world! xx

[@Eric-kf6dy]

So many incredibly talented artists & artisans are attracted to the Chateau and Stephanies orbit, it's becoming a bit of a collective.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

God bless WENDY! A little mouse with clogs on... well I declare going clip cllipity clip on the stair. I absolutely bloody love it 🤣😆🥳👏👏👏

[@wendygrimwood5202]

Thanks brought me joy to make !

[@johncunningham1098]

Dear Stephanie. It does my heart so much good to see you so happy and energetic. I wish for you all the best that life has to offer and all the blessings of God that’s He alone can bestow. Happy Easter. May a new life and a new dawn be yours. Love, from John in New Jersey.

[@chrismont5475]

The lady that did the Mouse & Rabbit send you WONDERFUL gifts, she is very talented. Cheers from Calgary,Canada

[@aleta5873]

I LOVE to see Stephanie laugh so much when Phillip is falling in love with a little hand-made rabbit...or woodland creature. omgosh

[@mychristmasemporium5927]

I think the little felt rabbit and little mouse should keep each other company! I love the turquoise stand with the flowers on!

[@wendygrimwood5202]

Thank you for the nice comments it was sad saying goodbye to Peterken but I'm glad he arrived safely as he nearly got stuck in customs, luckily Nati came to the rescue. I hope to see them all in August and find out how he is getting on . Sorry Nati about the chillies , as I was packing it up I was thinking ' Someone doesn't like chillies I think ,I hope it isn't Nati !'

[@miriamtaylor7518]

You stole the show with your talent Wendy, and created so much joy for EVERYONE! Thank you!

[@nancycowan6109]

Wendy, you give us all happiness with your gifts to Lalande. ❤️

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Massive hug Wendy... creating joy whilst you made them....then massive joy in the delivery of them. Be blessed and happy m'dear. xxxx

[@kellylaliberte548]

I very much appreciate Philip's joy over small woodland creatures. His whole face lights up.

[@elewysoffinchingefeld3066]

The troll needs to be named Herbert...or Herb. He needs a great last name, too. Brambleberry or something.

[@autumnwaters574]

That is an amazing name....

[@NingasKugon09]

Perfect, I was also thinking Herman for the name...

[@janisgriffith2919]

Perfect!

[@BigBirdy100]

Funny, I thought Herb or Herbal.

[@anonymoussource3664]

Every video truly joyous & fulfilling to watch. May the Abundance of Easter and HIS Blessings be upon all of you at the Chateau and all watching.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

Andie is back!! Yay. Her art inspired me and I created some sketches. I can’t wait to see her Easter art. That’s a beautiful rabbit runner.

[@margaretwarner5227]

You are looking much better Stephanie

[@maryoperschall5709]

Wendy you are amazing along with all the other gift givers...

[@wendygrimwood5202]

Thank you

[@hatshepsut8329]

What is more adorable than a mouse with wooden clogs and a laptop! She is a very talented lady as is Andy! Andy’s artwork is fabulous and I particularly like the one of the chateau. And as usual, ALL of the gifts were splendid and the best part of all, they are given with so much love! ♥️

[@carlottadix]

Mattie is breathtaking and stunning this very.day. She is the elegant version of what all women hope to.be. The green jacket with her hair refreshed my heart for happy times in 2021. Thank you.

[@karensotiriou4759]

Thanks. Lots of joy in watching this. The blue and white runner with bunnies would look lovely on the warm honey-coloured wood of the kitchen table over the Easter weekend (between meals?)

[@robinchurch5658]

This episode is a perfect example of why I love Chateau Diaries gift opening so much. It’s not only filled with kind, creative, humorous and loving individuals, whether residents or guests, but the gift givers and their presents are amazing! As a mouse lover, Peterkin and his little treasure filled traveling case just did me in and lucky Philip gets to carry him in his pocket. How sweet is that?

[@piperlilythrifts]

That was very egg-citing to watch! Happy Easter to all at La Lande!

[@tulipwindmill]

OMG, that little mouse is adorable x

[@lydiaschicklin5978]

Hello lovely lalanders ! As Always...so great ! Peter the mouse is priceless 😘! All the gifts are thoughtful ! Thank You for sharing ! Take care and bisous from Alsace ! 😘❤️💝🎊🎉💐🌹🍀❤️😍😍😍

[@donnanancekivell9430]

Omg I can’t get over the mouse and rabbit.......how talented is she and this was her first attempt.......so nice to see Andi again and what a talented women her paintings are fabulous ..........that was really a fun vlog....good to see you feeling better Stephanie..........take care Donna in Toronto

[@karolcrawford2501]

I’m thinking that there needs to be an episode where the mouse is secretly placed in each scene. ☺️🐭

[@hollyssimplelife1634]

Great idea

[@darylpenner5763]

Definitely

[@cathybouzas96]

Like the elf in the shelve ,but the mousy editing ...cheers from Mexico .

[@valeriejohnson5283]

Oh yes, like the wonderful book by Richard Scarry titled " Cars and Trucks and things that go!" where you look for goldbug in the picture! I taught my grandson to name all the equipment, ie...back hoe, ambulance, heavy equipment, buses, cars, etc looking for goldbug. It was so much fun to read to him and to engage his beautiful mind! 🥀🥀

[@wendygrimwood5202]

Yes Mischief Mouse ! I’m hoping to create books around some of my woodland creatures I ‘ve made .

[@Julie-bq6iz]

I want to come play with Peterkin too! I love all things miniature and/or adorable. I love how he arrives with his story and all his little possessions. Happy Easter to you all! You all give us so much joy! 🌷🐀🐇🐥🦋

[@simonejulee1111]

Love love love Philip! he is such a delight and I wish him to stay at La Lande forever! Blessings to all the wonderful people who send the gifts, it is such a joy to see Stephanie light up from the beautiful generosity ✨♥️

[@suzannagarlington7967]

If you scanned the magazine covers and adverts then printed them out, theyd look lovely on the wall when the costume closet portion of the attic is finished

[@wendygrimwood5202]

I initially bought them to put on the wall of the French Linen boutique (Yves Delorme) that I managed , sadly my branch closed down last year.

[@trickshotters1577]

Absolutely brilliant idea! I was thinking to frame and hang but where? You have a great idea!

[@trishradloff8817]

I’m so excited right now. I currently live in Texas, but I’m from Maine! When I saw the box of Saltwater Taffy It took me home again. When I was younger we would eat warm Taffy, cut right off the Taffy pulling machine in Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts. You just made my day! XO

[@judithvandijk817]

I think that in the Peterkin - letter Wendy is referring to an old song about ‘een muis in de molen in oud Amsterdam’. I think it was sung by Rudi Carell in the sixties. (A mouse in the mill in old Amsterdam)

[@wendygrimwood5202]

You are right !

[@marjoleint3592]

Just lovely. Amazing Chateua Unwrapped. Everytime I watch I think it can't get better and then it does:). Such talented and giving people.

[@wendy-moore]

Those prints are wonderful - ... and Peterkins!

[@jaynekregting2024]

Putting the strop wafel on top of a cup of tea warms up the syrup and it’s delicious 😋

[@judithschatunowski6273]

Oh goodness, Peterkins is just gorgeous! Some wonderful Easter gifts to enjoy! I hope you all have a great Bridgestone Easter and look forward to seeing the vlog!

oh my gosh! dying for Wendy's gifts!! can she please sell her fabulous felt friends??? the book is hysterical and so very clever!!

[@lauriecalery8801]

Andie's paintings are so beautiful! And Wendy's creations spread joy. Blessings to all.

[@MrsBmfVR]

So happy the goodies we sent arrived there safely! Aren't the tea sticks genious? Love them! The chocolate square is a Maine Needham. VERY popular here in Maine. It is made with mashed potato and coconut... odd I know but delicious.

[@paulineholder2072]

As An American I guffawed when they decided to save the Fritos, Cheetos, and Funyuns for Easter!

[@gailcraig4495]

The bag of funyums are potato-based crunches with some onion flavor to mimic the actual/real onion rings. If you ever get the chance to have them, real onion rings are delish! Am sure Marie could make them.👌

[@rileyb7352]

I hope we get to meet Wendy one day, she's truly talented!

[@janineduclos9774]

Andies watercolours are amazing!

Such an enjoyable episode. Peter Mousekin and Buster Bunny grabbed the starring roles, IMHO.

Absolutely hilarious watching Stephanie's reaction to everyday American treats. "Strawberry twists" hahaha Twizzlers! It's red licorice!

[@judithlalande2773]

The BUNNY RUNNER on the kitchen table...😇 blue +white 😇 Perhaps, perhaps perhaps ? 🌷🐇🐣🐥🐤🐇🌷

the felted animals are just stupendously wonderful. Wilber the bunny and Timothy the troll

[@ccmarcum]

I just received my March/April issue of "'My French Country Home,'' which is a luxury magazine published in France but available by mail or in bigger magazine shops. The editor is an American woman married to a Frenchman and is full of beautiful chateaux, villages, décor, food, and travel articles. There is very little advertising, with plenty of room for bios, interiors, books, and stylish treasures. This time the Périgord region was featured and several places Stephanie has recently had in her vlogs are reviewed: Sarlat, Les Jardins de Marqueyssac, and there is even one of the chateaux from ''Escape to the Chateau DIY.'' They have a website--any Francophile will love it--a feast for the senses.

[@vilmacarande-kulis7769]

That's great! You leave us wanting more! So much fun! Editing Peterkin is adorable! Can't wait for the second part.

[@lynnewillis249]

Love the prints also Wow!!!!!!!

[@shannonvans]

The best way to eat a peep (they come in bunny shapes also and many flavors) is to toast them over the low coals of a fire, the sugar on the outside caramelizes and the inside gets soft, it is so good that way!

[@lornamiles-baum7035]

mice love chocolate and will chew through heavy foil to get it. I returned from holliday to find a collection of cholocate that I had as a gift ft my sisters birthday shredded into confetti. The funniest thing was that A couple of days after the removal, the mouse went into chocolate withdrawal and went crazy ..dashing all over my apartment in a frenzy. Take care and lock up.

[@lianegordon971]

That is so funny. I can just imagine this crazy mouse zooming in and out across the floor.

I have used your channel for many shopping ideas. I am going to check out the toblerone cookbook. Looks amazing! Happy Almost Easter to all at Lalande.
