Well, all you Tattle trolls, hags, and witches…one more week until Halloween! I would like to propose reviving the custom of updating our Avatars with a picture our “favorite” chateauverse character for Halloween! Mine is Teabag!
Mine is Amaury from two years ago, arriving at the chateau with a gleam in his eyes, thinking he's here to renovate the grand salon!

I haven’t been able to confirm it, but it looks as if the company evolved into Borgeaud Bibliothèques, which closed this past January. I’ve searched a number of auction and sales reporting sites with no luck.
I'm thinking that just because they say they bought it at auction, doesn't mean they actually did.

While Nic and Cam were working, I noticed the pile of mattresses had been removed from the barn but the sofa remains.

There’s no telling when they bought it either, the way they burn up the internet. The next delivery I expect is $28,000+ of antique Fortuny custom drapes listed in Chairish.

The hair, the eyebrows and the beard.
Dan is starting to remind me of Mr Twit.
He needs some serious grooming.

And the same goes for Shrek.
Looking at him side on . . . his hair is too long.
It's almost to his shoulders and the slicked down hair around his head, just awful in profile.

I've decided to dress up as one of the dirty 'discarded but not discarded' mattresses.
I might fashion a spring poking out of my belly button area as well and I'll be covered in stains ofcourse, with the odd tear here and there.
(forgive if I'm doing this wrong, we don't really do this dressing-up for Halloween stuff in NZ but I'll readily accept any chocolate)

Watching Manor and Maker discuss how to approach their wallpapering.
Man . . . I am riveted by their messy disorganised cupboards . . . I want to get in there and do some organising . . . I like tidy cupboards.

You need to up those acting skills Steve.

So Fanny said that Snorts reminded her of a gay man who made a pass at her straight father? Let that sink in..... Also Fanny doesn't have a clue what is going on in her own house, she is just the cash cow.... Pay those bills with other peoples money girl....between chapel restoration and clipping bird wings. To just about anything. Clueless

I've chosen Isabelle as my Halloween avatar because, like this old timey picture, she's an OLD BAT!

You know what I've been carefully absorbing. Philip and Marie are getting to chummy and cosy. Is it just me but something tells me they're having an affair!!!!!

They probably moved them back inside

Stephanie apparently loves long disgusting hair on men

What a bloody boring CD that was and yet ...... old Fanny will get $$ for it !
Why did we not See the Chapel restorers ?
Oh, they do not want to be photographed and I guess if she pisses them off ..... they will not return!
So...... lay your bets Hags......... do you think the chickens will get a new fenced off patch like Pavlina would like ??? Nuh !
Lucky their road is not busy as there would be Chicken Road Kill a plenty!

I think we have all missed the latest miracle at the shittoo. I’m sure that there are no longer acrow props holding up the ceiling in the big room. Difficult to be certain as there is so much crap in there but can’t see any yellow props anymore.
Mummy dears eyes, Fraudy Fanny’s hip and now a ceiling that was in imminent danger of collapsing magically mended.
And the blossoming friendship between FRK and smugmug is a deliberate ploy to get us tartlets and everyone else talking about it, thus covering up something else that is going on. What devious deeds are we not meant to be seeing.

I took a picture and ran through Google and this is what I came up with, after digging through all of the pics that popped up that didn't look anything like the one she has. I've also Googled all manner of cartonnier - painted, reproduction, etc. and can't come up with something that looks like hers. But I did find the real thing from 1825 that is very similar in style to hers.

I couldn't figure out what the heck she called it in French, since her French is so god awful, I looked through the comments and a kind soul spelled it out. I've looked online and don't see a thing that is reproduction, as hers is.

It is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack, so I don't know how much more time I want to spend on it. It sounded like Philip bought it from a person clearing out their house. I know, I know, he lies all the time.....but if this is true, it may be impossible to find. He could have gotten it from Facebook Marketplace or any sort of online, local selling place. One reason I feel he may be telling the truth is that he seemed unaware of the broken leg as well as the fact that there was no key. Any reputable place would have noted both issues, like the listing on 1st dibs does - it mentions that it is in locking order. Also, the fact that there were items inside could mean the person he bought from didn't know it was a filing cabinet....they could have called it something else entirely. The fact that someone left some papers of vendors in the cabinet doesn't mean the item is from that particular vendor. I have a drawer in one of my chest of drawers that I just went through the other day and found receipts for all manner of antique items, some of which I no longer own (plus, a receipt for a refrigerator I bought 20 years ago)!

At the end of the day, yet another vlog with her flaunting her purchases - shameful. I can't stand this woman.

Has Dan fallen out with Nick, wasn't he supposed to be working with him for two weeks.

You don't think that Dan has timey-wimey issues, like Stephanie does?
I don't trust either one of them to be presenting vlogs that are correct, time-wise.
