Marie is such a hero,her talents are endless. Cooking for all your guests must be very daunting and her smile never disappears. From flowers to gourmet food she’s a rare find!

[@Motherhubbard170]

My admiration for Marie is through the roof;I cannot believe she pulled this together with one sous chef

[@aleta5873]

The lunch was amazing !

[@nancyhelgeson9934]

Here's another Nancy wanting to say that Marie is am amazing woman! The spread for lunch was incredible, and so were her flowers. Did she get any sleep? I do know she had some assistance, thank goodness, so they both need to receive kudos!!

[@hahna77]

​@nancyhelgeson9934 agreed. The unsung assistants seems to be left out of all the praise. Beautiful spread and kudos to all who participated.

[@anjoma9746]

She is the best.❤

[@KG-ui7ji]

Gosh Marie has worked hard to cater that lunch virtually single handed...with just one person to help her. I used to have a catering company I know what hard work it is. Her food and her flowers are wounderful. You are very, very, very lucky to have her. I hope she is well rewarded. Kudos to you Marie to do all that with a smile still on your face.

[@Sparrowdean]

From the snippets we saw of the kitchen, Julie was also working very hard and is deserving of some credit, as is Pavlina, who also helped with some of the flowers before she left.

[@KarieChant]

The ending with the little boy was so enduring, what a lovely day!

I know it takes long hours to pull this off but Marie imo has the most stressful job of all. She has come a long way since she first left a couple of years ago. She had not found her place yet but wow did she ever come back as excellent cook and flower designer. I hope she gets paid A LOT! Love you all.

[@malina1239]

I agree!! After this she deserve a serious pay raise also. She’s the one keeping all together . She’s unique , that’s for sure❤

You’re not joking when you say that Foreo mask thingy is an investment! Outrageously expensive!

[@mireillelefevre6092]

Same with the other little round thingy that Stephanie usually uses for face masks treatments! Over 300€ for the "tool" and each patch (for 1use) costs 10€ or more..utterly ridiculous but i am happy if Stephanie was gifted hers and enjoys using them

[@johngraham8794]

And to be honest I couldn't see any difference after she had used it

[@kathleenyates-mu1iq]

Can't speak for those two devices in particular because I don't own them, but those that I have tried were pricey for sure, but worth it in the end. We invest in so much stuff daily, so why should we compromise on things that bring us joy and relaxation? That's my philosophy anyway

What a lovely lovely Patreon day!!!💐🎉 So much fun, joy and laughter. Oh we wish we were there too. But we are now on a family holiday in Crete (a surprise engagement of my son as well as me and my husband's birthday celebrations). We miss this incredible day. Every year since Stephanie started the Patreon day event has a different ambience. We're lucky to attend 2 times of the Patreon day and I can say that each year is getting better and better. You would not believe how the Lalanders get on and crack on with all the preparations to be able to give us Patreons a good time and wonderful memories. But yesss Marie's culinary and floral skills exceed my expectations. Well done Marie and Jenny also with the help of Pavlinna. It's a pity that she can't stay that day. Everyone contributes to make this event a success. And this is only one day. Two more days to go!!! OMG so happy to see the first day and can't wait to see all the days of the Patreon Stephanie on your next vlogs..Cheers 💋💛🤗
