Wonderful gifts for the chateau!

hi and welcome to this week at the chateau we still have tatina and michael here so very exciting having them with us and we we're all in pink except for tatiana who did not get the pink memories just matching michael yeah yeah and it was without any intention we're just so in sync with each other and we have some gifts oh should we start excellent this is from us tn tennessee there is a note from the bottom of my heart dear stephanie i wanted to send you a small token of my appreciation for all your hard work and for the many many hours of entertainment you've given me i've watched every chateau diaries shadow unwrapped and patron videos about 600 videos together i mailed this package in late november hoping it will be open in time for t-shirt weather i know you don't usually wear t-shirts but i believe that it's because you haven't found your favorite one until now i think you're going to love it the framed needlework is a counted cross stitch piece that i made many years ago it's a 32 count linen cream on cream with some small beads just a little something from my house to yours enjoy much love joy ps i threw in a few recipes michael is interested grape salad oh yeah oh you're already very interested stuffed pepper casserole hello dollies what's a hello dolly it's a musical yeah they're bars i think they must be a little bit like flapjacks which mean different things in different countries because flapjacks are in south africa pancakes or what we would call scottish cakes really so what we call a scotch pancake like the little fat pancake they call flapjacks but for us flapjacks are what the americans call a granola bar yes i think this might be more of a bar because it's butter graham cracker crumbs chocolate chips shredded coconut chopped pecans and you're going to like this a can of sweetened condensed milk he's been known to just drink it from your hands i love it with coffee father christmas used to give me a can of condensed milk oh and you would just drink it oh that is that's a sweet tooth pretty excited about the t-shirt it's true i don't wear um t-shirts very much but that's because i like wearing dresses just because it's so much easier

that her abigail you wrote this the alchemy of loss a young widow's transformation oh my dead husband's clothes closet held me hostage for almost four years in the early years after aaron's death his clothes hung patiently in his closet waiting for his return i'm sure a lot of people can relate to this exactly i would open the closet doors to see his shoes staring me expectantly longing for the warmth of his feet i would stand inside the folding louver doors and cry deep wet tears into his blue cloth bathrobe that still smelled of him i fingered the striped flannel shirt that everyone hated but him his socks were piled impossibly high in a rolling wire mesh basket another level of the basket held his underwear they waited for him as did i i would close the closet doors and fling myself face down onto the bed in dramatic sobs the closet became a litmus test of my grief open door cry closed door past test still grieving repeat in four weeks my brother and aaron's best friend visited for thanksgiving i saw my opportunity to bestow some of aaron's favorite items on the people he loved giving his clothes and shoes to loved ones seemed preferable to hauling garbage bags full of him to goodwill bruce pulled aaron's favorite leather jacket around his torso trying to make the buttons meet the coat which had fallen to aaron's hips reached halfway to bruce's knees it took on a new persona on bruce's body and molded itself instantly to him it no longer resembled anything aaron had ever worn my brother and bruce walked off feigning pleasure at their new acquisitions but really i think they were pleased at having helped me through a difficult process they seemed to understand by the look in my eyes my relief at having purged a little of aaron in a loving way and abigail i remember meeting you here and i would just love to read the description of your book to everybody because yeah it's incredible what you've been through on the morning of september the 11th 2001 abigail carter received an urgent phone call from her husband aaron ab ab there's an emergency i'm in the world trade center and there's been a bomb he never came home abby had it all a full life with a successful career and a loving husband and a beautiful two-year-old son and six-year-old daughter but in a horrifying instant watched by the world it was gone and her family's lives were changed irreparably the alchemy of loss chronicles the tumultuous four years abby spent trying to come to terms with her loss that day honest raw and even humorous this is the book she wished she could have found after aaron died during those challenging years abby came to realize that she had to turn everything she knew upside down in order to learn to live again and that there is no one-size-fits-all path through grief she gradually began to build a new life for herself and to see opportunities in her situation she developed new skills as single parent started dating again and eventually moved across the country for a fresh start in seattle those years were powerfully transformative and abby now likened them to alchemy from them she emerged a new person wiser more independent and more sure of herself a compelling moving memoir and a loving portrait of a marriage the alchemy of loss will prove a comfort for anyone who is dealing with unimaginable loss and serve as an inspiration to us all well abigail i'm so happy to hear that since you were here we were chatting about you hopefully finding a chateau one day that it looks as though it might actually happen and i really hope that it does you've been so incredibly brave and it was wonderful meeting you and i cannot wait to read this so thank you so much i think anyone else going through horrendous loss would benefit greatly from this book abigail carter the alchemy of loss a young widow's transformation i love the idea of being able to find something transformative in in such pain absolutely because there's no that nothing else is possible it's either that or losing yourself completely oh i know oh it was so moving it's hard to uh it's hard to move on oh well we have another gift from us ca california yes oh yes i will need you deficiency i miss antoine what is this hi stephanie and everyone at leonard i'm sending some flower seeds after hearing you say that you like poppies and hollyhocks i really do a short background about these seeds i purchased them to plant a garden for my mother to see from her bed she was bed bound for many years after breaking her leg i took care of both my parents on and off for 22 years my father sadly passed away january 2019 just seven days before my parents 70th wedding anniversary and then my mother passed on february 28 2020 just days before the first lockdown it was sad because my mother felt bad that i had given up my personal and professional life to care for them about a week before she passed she said that i could have my life back soon and that made her happy but the universe had other plans called covid and the subsequent variants but anyway back to the seeds sorry if i ramble i live alone now with my dog lola these seeds were the last part of a large garden i planted for her with most every color you can find in flowers but i haven't been able to find the grays and dark reds my favorites of the hollyhocks are the triple ruffle peaches and cream which is a beautiful peach with two layers of white ruffles and the blackberry ripple a dark red with a ruffle of white streaks there are also grey poppies black peony poppies hungarian blue poppies johnny jump up violets several types of hollyhocks and rainbow beets my favorite to pickle i thought the colors would look nice around the garden and chateau i also included three note cards that my mother loved and collected they have thread tatted flowers on the front i framed several of them and loved the way they look i started watching your vlogs just after she passed and i truly enjoy the escape they provide the magical mix of people you have around you has tapped into a universal flow that people worldwide really are captivated by thank you for sharing a wonderful slice of
