CHRISTMAS DIARIES DAY 22: CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS!

After a very dramatic night, we settle down to make this year's Christmas Stockings for everyone in the chateau!
It's that time of year again - CHRISTMAS AT THE CHATEAU has begun! Happy Advent!
Here is the twentieth video in our daily Advent Calendar series. Each day will bring a different surprise - but you can expect a mixture of exuberant decorations, seasonal florals, delicious food, gift ideas, musical treats and even a little Christmas carpentry...
**To see more of Miss Havisham's glorious cups:**

***To see more of the stunning robes or to buy one to luxuriate in yourself, please go to***: onehundredstar...
***To download this year's Lalande wrapping paper designs, based on my father's medieval paintings, the link to the shop is***:

They are available at €5 per image, or €10 for five colours.
I had hoped to have the papers printed in order to sell them ready-made, but with all of the Covid postal delays that's proved impossible. I had mine printed by Zazzle, and scaled the pattern up online so that I have both regular and large scale versions here for Christmas. You're all welcome to do the same in order to have large rolls made, or to simply print them on your home printers for very small parcels! But please only use them for private (not commercial) use.

Philip has a heart of gold, Stephanie’s right or left hand. He is always there to help, even spending the night in a cold car. That to me says a lot about a person. You are awesome! Merry Christmas to you all!!

You can tell the true measure of a person when things aren’t going well. Stephanie: spends night in the emergency room with an infection, home to the Chateau where the boiler is down, goes downstairs to fix the boiler, goes back upstairs to make all the stockings for her friends. Philip: spends the night in the cold car outside the hospital, stops by for groceries on the way home, helps Stephanie with the stockings and videoing. You are both beyond amazing😄 Praying for Stephanie to feel better soon and Cat to get home safely🙏

Hi Stephanie! Your Father’s artwork is so amazing and to turn it into wrapping paper and tissue is brilliant. Have you ever considered selling them? I really think they would sell. They are unique and beautiful and I’m kind of a present snob. I am always looking for unique, pretty papers and ribbons to make gifts extra special! Also, I know your Dad’s art is special to you, but have you ever thought of selling prints of his work? I just think people would enjoy your Dad’s artwork. Those papers are so stunning it was pure genius of you to think to print them into wrapping papers. I’m sorry I’m rambling on. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Tell Phillip my husband and I also love woodland animals and animals in general. Our dog is a Australian Shepherd and loves to try and herd animals. It doesn’t matter what kind. We shout “Squirrel,” and he’s off. He also tries to herd our chickens! Phillip’s sense of humor is absolutely great! Those tea cups.....😜! Hope you feel better soon Stephanie. Love to you all!
