Ohh how lovely! Those platters are gorgeous! My day to day plates are a pink set of Johnson Brothers for Laura Ashley petite fleur pattern mixed with a bunch of Dansk cafe blanc as well. Since it's just me, I'm not fussy about things matching. Hubs picked up the Johnson Bros. set at a yard sale for $25 incomplete. I've certainly gotten my use out of them. Recently I picked up a small stack of vintage Fiesta ware accent plates...they're clear glass with stripes painted in different colors on the bottom...I think they'll make nice summer dishes. Not dishwasher safe but since I'm the dishwasher, no biggie. I've got some bits of Spode, but picked them up at thrifts & auctions years ago, some even before the advent of YouTube. 😉
My every day Is now discontinued. It is white...Athena by Johnson Brothers My weekend, dinner, entertaining, special occasion is Greenwich by Minton. Also discontinued. I was surprised to see it some time ago in an ad for Downton Abbey....in a dining table setting! Probably will start using it for everyday. Why own it, and not use it?!

i have the feeling among all the chateauvloggers there is no real friendship..they only use eachother...for their own profit..sad really..
how can there be any friendship when they only just met in person recently in Italy with the snorter? SJ said she got to know Curtis on the internet or whatever. By the way, I am a Greektologist as I love the place, know a lot about it and worked as a courier there in the Ionian Islands for two seasons. So, I am not a film maker, but a film watcher and a Greektologist. So there!! :p :p

Are these the sets you refer to?

Gossip is Gossip...but discussing money is just uncouth (in my humble opinion). Even digging in her cousin's past business dealings was a little creepy. If you have to talk about it, you don't have it. Besides, I'm sure she pays her employees a decent salary.
I don't think discussing money is uncouth but I agree with the second statement. I personally feel uncomfortable when people get so invested in things that they start digging stuff about "private" people. It somehow feels a bit violating. I would get it if Amoury would have his own vlog where he begs/trics money from people and uses it on shady purposes but he isn't doing that. Yes, he is playing role in her vlogs but how willingly, I would question that 💁‍♀️ BUT when people do that, I can simply decide not to take part in it..

"If you have to talk about it, you don't have it. " This is simply not true. It is just way to keep middle class people shush about their salaries so that the masses don't realize how unfairly they are treated and demand more. Taboo can be a powerful tool. Also, that statement implies that there should be shame about being poor and that is simply not true.

edit: just saw responses where YOU were talking about the money... so hilarious LMAO :LOL:

I think Manor and Maker is a straightforward vlog of their new life in France. They are a rather dull couple but seem pleasant enough. I understand them getting stick a while back as they tried to generate interest in upcoming events at a chateau they didn't even own yet (shades of the unicorns), and for putting up critiques of local restaurants when they had only just moved into the area. But they seem willing to take criticism on board, and I'll give them a bit of rope until they start down the begging line. Sara doesn't profess to be anything but an amateur 'sewist' who is showing her learning progress online. I get the impression their making workshops were for mutual support, rather than either of them proclaiming to be expert tutors. But I do admit to fast-forwarding through the vlogs and may have missed some shady behaviour.

Don't be fooled. That's the narrative they are spinning...

They know each other. That is for sure. Isabelle and Percy attended/via zoom, his wedding.

While the snorting Squirrel Cameltoe is enjoying his not so deserved holiday in South Africa, his home country The Netherlands is in turmoil. The Dutch version of "The Voice" (the original concept that started the worldwide talent shows) has been suspended pending an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations, cover ups and gross abuse of power. I haven’t been following the revelations lately, but can sort of paint the picture without knowing it all.

I seriously think SJ’s situation is not much different from the accused Dutch orchestra leader (apart from the fact that he admitted guilt and resigned): she has been warned for sexually inappropriate behavior with employees/volunteers before (and was kicked out as a host in the workaway program for it) yet just kept going as if nothing had happened. She was worried, she claimed, about the age difference between them and how that would be publicly perceived, but stayed completely silent about the unequal distribution of power in her relationship to the Cameltoe of Cameltoes. I believe however there is no room for interpretation: legally everyone at her HMN must be able to work in complete safety. She has proven time and time again she has no regard what so ever for appropriate behavior. Her patrons know this, but apparently it doesn't scare them off. Yet.

Found in my (somewhat) local FB Marketplace.
Shall we take up a collection to buy them for our special lady?
What did she pay? These are $360 USD.
That is part of the same set my neighbor gave me, though I also have an arm chair and a settee as well.

Come come now, we shouldn’t shy away from talking money. Naturally, discussions should be based on factual figures, but our Don Jarvis isn’t afraid to tell us how much she’s donating to charities in a roundabout way in exchange for presents sent to herself. I think it’s only right to question where Don Jarvis’s expenditure from Patreon goes, after all, it is now a charitable concern, maybe less so for the CD YouTube as she earned that. You see SJ seems to be highly motivated by money, ill-gotten or otherwise, I think it’s integral to question her at every turn. Refraining from doing so - then what’s the point in expressing any grievances with SJ’s behaviour - she’ll have got away with her misdemeanors?

I disagree with the discussing of money meaning you don’t have any. It’s a cultural barrier you’re alluding to and not one that I relate to. Free yourself from the shackles of middle class propriety - SJ has. From what I gather most people’s interest with Don Jarvis’s payroll is whether she’s following the French tax system & employment laws and less so how much each employee is receiving. Previously, it was stated how the Jarvis family abused the WorkAway scheme and it’s volunteers for a profit making business, alongside sexual misconduct. As you maybe aware, SJ is a master of pulling the wool over her superchat militia, but here we like to question. However, should you wish to turn a blind eye that is your prerogative.
Superchat militia!!! Love it!

When it comes to SJ and company she lies about money all of the time. She deserves to be called out for her antics. Her patreons support her lifestyle. The reason why she can't keep staff on for very long is because people get sick of it. Why on earth anybody would want to volunteer there and give her their free time is beyond me.

Thank you, @Green Fairy, for providing this information re: "When in France" vlog on Emmaus! I've been supporting Emmaus for many years, (donating to, and buying from! :love:) , it really is an amazing organization.
Interesting discussion in the comments! "She who must be obeyed"....tsktsk Wendyhouse....;)
I've got some real steals over the years at Emmaus. Pre covid, our local one used to do a twice yearly sale of jewellery that was donated I've picked up some stunning silver pieces for under a euro. Used to go every Wednesday afternoon (first day open to the public each week). I've also donated loads too! Haven't been to our local one in nearly 2 years now, don't fancy being stuck in there with loads of people at this present time though.

Did you check out the latest video of "It's a wonderful Life" ? They had to go to the vet in a cat emercency case. Cat ok. But they came back with a 15 year old dog that was brought to the vet the day earlier to be put down. The previous owner, an old lady, had to go to the hospital. The dog had had a stroke and is "lopsided" as Anna called it. The vet didn't have the heart to put the dog down, because he wanted to live, seemed to be ok. And neither Anna nor Peter could go past it. So they took him home on a one week's trial basis to see if he was ok with all their cats.
They have my respect for such a kind offer. I'm not sure if I could have done it - having four cats, too.
My kind of people😍And the selfish sj can't even provide a safe warm home for one poor cat.

Wash your mouth this instant! Watching cadeaux.... no....nooooo.....noooooo
I confess – I’ve been tracking the Christmas Cadeaux episodes - I know, boring - but my interest was piqued, so I took one for the team. There have been 8 Christmas Cadeaux episodes, totaling 6.2 viewing hours and to date they've opened a total of 71 boxes and received 427 gifts.

The total number of gifts is a very close approximation, because 1 gift box can include multiple items, although I've tried to identify each item separately as much as is possible, and maintained a detailed breakdown of each Cadeaux via excel spreadsheet. (ex: vlog dates, sent by who, from where, patron status, description of gift, designated receiptient, any interesting side note)

At this rate Lalanders will receive thousands of gifts during the year. It’s all excessive, vulgar and a huge waste of money, time and resources. The value of gifts received far outweighs the monthly charity donations. Not to mention the cost of packaging & postage. Clearly there are a lot of people who are lonely, and their loneliness has been exacerbated by Covid. As much as some people may derive pleasure from watching the Chateau vlogs and wish to thank SJ and gang, this gifting nonsense is simply grotesque and escalated out of control.

SJ should stop Cadeaux and instead ask people to donate their items, money and time to local charities. SJ could lead by example and begin doing local charity work in her own area. Sadly, I don’t think she will because she’s addicted to the gifts and adoration.
