Thanks to @Pyke for pointing us to the Facebook page for Ardmore.

I love how it says " Rich textures, earthy tones, dramatic details, and safari-inspired styling come together to create one unforgettable table spectacle."

Yeah....that's what it is! It's A SPECTACLE alright! And I don't mean Philip, sitting there with that stupid grin on his face next to his two grannies!

Why does Stephanie wear that stupid scarf around her neck all the time?

IMHO, we can all agree to disagree, but I do not believe that the gruesome twosome got the Ardwhore table travesty for 40,000 euros or retail price. They may have received a small discount but I do not believe that money hungry Fee would take on such an enormous project with such crazy, pain in the ass people without being paid the normal fee that she would charge any person commissioning a private project. I believe they paid up to or exceeding €100,000 or more for the table parade.

Fee is not really getting anything out of this relationship. A few views? She doesn’t need them. The CD audience aren’t the ones who will be purchasing any of her products in any substantial or meaningful way. Fee has received more disparaging comments and commentary from CD viewers about her product, than glowing reviews .

The gruesome twosome had previously grifted thousands of euros in free crap from Fee even prior to the table safari debacle. They have become an annoying pain in her side for the past few years. They show up constantly in London or South Africa, grifting for freebies, a free stay at the South African premises, etc. Fee will throw a couple of grifted Ardwhore scarves and crap to the gruesome twosome but I do not believe that she would have an enormous project comprised of 30 to 50+ Ardwhore pieces that took well over a year to design and make at retail cost.Fee is all about the money.
I can say with certainty that the tablescape is a one off for the chateau, I have been told first hand.
fan called a it a collaboration not a commission.
Only part of that sentence can be the truth.

Old Ladies show their age in Neck area..and when I see the pic it only make me think she is troubled, and that she cannot hide the truth.. Camera's never lie..She looks old and tired..
On one of her many 5* holidays she took a book entitled’ 100 ways to tie a scarf’ , she is in page two by the looks of her current MO.
Scarves hide her underclothes so she can be in pjs or three day old dresses too.

Imagine if Philip hits some particularly deep potholes while driving back to the Chateau. Imagine that "Table Parade" shattering into a "Table of Shards". Then again, his kidney stone might dislodge at that very moment. A win/win scenario!

Has Philip said where the table animals will be set up in the chateau? Wouldn’t there be a risk having them permanently on the wibbly wobbly dining table? And given Stephanie is rarely st the chateau or out of bed would she even see it? If it’s on permanent display I anticipate some breakages.

Does anyone remember what she paid for the Ardmore vase and other pieces including table clothes and napkins? I’m imagining she has already spent €100K with Ardmore before the ‘out of Africa’ set.

From my personal experience with retail, after running a (Scandinavian) design shop myself. If the retail price is between 100.000 and 150.000 euros or dollars… Snorts side of the bill is probably between 20.000-25.000 and 40.000-45.000 euros or dollars which is the retailers price.

I don’t think they are sharing the costs, I don’t see Fee desperate enough to share with Snorts half of retailers price. No way.

how did I get this number?

Regular mass produced items usually have a recommended retail price between three to four times the price given to the retailer by the manufacturer of those items. Prices to retailers can vary as those very large retailers, who sell gigantic amounts of items, get greater discounts and in consequence sell the items “cheaper” than smaller shops.

But, in general, pricing for mass produced high end design pieces work the same way everywhere. The recommended selling price for consumers is 300% to 400% over the retailers price. For example… An item a retailer bought for $10, will be sold to consumers for $30, to $40,. The producer always send a list with the minimum retail price for the items they sell, to avoid market chaos.

Handmade items, like “Ardwhore“ because of its small artisan made production and exclusive profile should, in theory, have higher profit margin because they have small production but, very often, the result for small retailers is the opposite. Handmade artisan pieces very often bring less money than expected because it takes longer time to sell or it has to be sold for a fixed given price. No discounts allowed. That’s why they are sold in galleries or by the artist or the artist sponsor, i.e. Fee.

Fee is certainly giving Snorts retailers price, with delivery and customs costs included. So, she is making the same money as she would have if selling to a retailer shop.

SO, if the final retail price of the entire selection of pieces that make that (horrific) table scape is between $100k and $200k dollars, the price for the retailer, the price Snorts and Skidz are paying is between 25% to 30% of that total…

The production cost is certainly much less than that, but I don’t think Ardwhore’s owner charged loser Snorts production costs, she charged retail prices. Production costs means she would be paying a good share of the items.

For an illustration:

Nordic Nest sells Scandinavian goods like Royal Copenhagen, Arabia, Marimekko, IITTALA etc… and fan’s beloved Spode. All “mass produced goods”, meaning, produced in large quantities in industrial factories. Not handmade. Machine made.

This 👇🏼 is the selection of Spode currently available at Nordic Nest. Even if they are offering some discount up to 45%, they still make money because they certainly have their prices at 300% to 400% over the retailers price they paid the manufacturer.


Ex. Nordic Nest, the retailer, paid at between 150kr 200kr for the Spode cup, originally sold at 756kr. When they offer it with 27% discount on the recommended sales price, at 554kr, they are still making good money.

My question is, in which country will they declare the related custom taxes?

The receipt of the sale will be made to JJ online shop? Do they have a VAT number?
What kind of documentation do they need to show at customs when they cross border with France?
That makes sense; I just couldn't imagine SJ forking out 100k for anything that didn't benefit her in some way and even then, that's a lot of money that she probably doesn't have just sitting there. She spends all that comes in I reckon - doesn't save anything for the future.

some Ardwhore grifts/purchases👇👇👇👇
June 10, 2022 post
The Ardmore satinette sable tablecloth is $366.00 on the Ardmore site. The matching napkins are $68.00 each. Phillip had 6 napkins. Total $774.00 plus taxes and shipping.

The Ardmore face masks are approx $17 each. fan and her mother each wore one and fan gifted two of them the recipient of the fashion scholarship. Who knows how many of these she purchased,

fan also purchased an Ardmore dinner platter that she gave to Larkin at Christmas. She spoke about it in a video when she was on vacation at an inn. I cannot recall where it was. The Ardmore platters on average run $1100 to $1500+ per platter.

Snorts did not get gifted with a $6,000 ceramic mouse from Ardmore. Liars all of them. Just like the perpetual flow of upgrades and freebies.

You know that Potts most likely received something from Ardmore for Christmas if Larkin did. Potts is a greedy little grifter himself. And you know greedy Isabelle received Ardmore works from fan. How much do you think she is hiding?

The Ardmore pieces are very expensive and can be in the thousands for the large vases, but they’re about half price when purchased directly at Ardmore’s home in Kea Zulu Natal. I don’t know how much Nic and Marie’s vase was. The tablecloth I bought for my mother was about $250, so that was a big outlay. Some people thought my mother’s bracelet made of Nespresso capsules in the last video was $350, but the price tag was in ZAR - it was about $18

The gruesome twosome are reading here nonstop. Only a couple hours after their latest shopping spree is detailed here, Stephane “races” to post crap, smoke and mirrors, and misinformation to cover up backlash over her excessive spending. I don’t believe one second that Ardmore discounts its products by 50% on site, and they then bundle them up and ship some back to your home. ALL LIES. ( if the Ardmore house evidently has a daily 50% off fire sale, Stephanie would’ve mentioned it when she bought her $7000 Ardmore vase that caused so many difficulties with viewers last year. She would’ve advertise this as a selling point for Ardmore. She never did so because it’s untrue.)

She never mentioned that the thousands of dollars she spent on Ardmore plates for Pottie and Baghead in the past were discounted 50%. Weird, because NOT $3500+ is such a reasonable price for an weird vase.... NOT. fan is sooooo thrifty . She denies buy an Ardmore vase for the Bagheads and says she doesn't know the price of the vase? bull.

Just off the top of my head, a few thoughts about the little orphan princess and her miraculous discounts and alleged gifts bestowed upon her by merchants, hotels, Percy, etc.
  • Just like 50% discount Ratso?
  • An abundance of free Ardmore napkins gifted to them by Ardmore? How do they stay iin business! Denying that she would have purchased an Ardmore vase for the Bagheads when she has purchased thousands of dollars on Ardmore items for them in the past? LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES.
  • Just like the “ upgraded“ top floor suite in Venice earlier this month! And the amount of time they spent in Venice (not just a long weekend, more like a couple of weeks)
  • Just like the many €50 auction buys at the hotel Bauer auction which were proven to be untrue ( and cost much more, usually 3 times more) and lies by Stephanie Jarvis?
  • Just like the "second hand" Dolce and Gabanna clown outfit (retails $4000+ new)?
  • Just like the lie about the "gifted” Vienna trip "from" her auntie and uncle?(which she wavers back and forth.... it was a gifted trip.....no, they asked us to go on vacation with them but it wasn't a gift....... I took my aunt and uncle on a trip to Venice...... Lie. ( what about the expensive Barbour jacket, they allegedly purchased for their darling niece Stephanie prior to her trip to Scotland, which was supposed to be her Christmas present?
  • Just like the lies about the length of the Venice trip?
  • Just like she "forgot" to mention that the London New Year's Eve celebration meals cost up to $1,000 per person at the luxury bistro?
  • Just like she forgot to mention that she purchased her new luxury bedding at Harrods, which she featured on video while sporting a new garnet Lilysilk nightgown retailing for $189.00.
    Yves Delormes Athena Pierre white pillowcases with piping 105 pounds x 2
    flat sheet over 209 pounds, couldn’t find exact price for her size of bed,
    Fitted sheet 175 pounds
    Duvet 319 pounds
    2 pillowcases 95 pounds each
    TOTAL BEFORE TAXES 1,103 pounds $ 1383.87 OR APPROXIMATELY 28 4 pointed chapel stars
  • Ratso’s heavily discounted bargain buy Louis Vuitton dog carrier?
  • the $1,000+ of LilySilk items she has been wearing the past few months? Did she receive a 50% discount on those items also?
  • The half lampshades that the shopaholic duo purchased from the mystery discount store on fortuny fabrics usually runs about $150.00 or so per shade ( without taxes, shipping, etc ) So if they don’t tell the truth and show a receipt, they usually are lying. So 8 half lampshades x the average price $150.00 is $1200 for 8 unnecessary, weird half lamp shades for a farmhouse dining room. She refused to say the true price of the items, so you can assume there was no discount in

I believe that Loser Herbert Philip ARDWHORE Ripley purchased the white Ardwhore bowl featuring a pangolin at the Ardmore private store at the luxury safari game reserve where the Dump crew enjoyed a safari last year and likely this year. Remember how he begged and bragged about the bowl and said he was gonna use it to eat yogurt out of every day. He used it once and it was never seen again. Stephanfraudie filmed himshopping at the store.
2. Phinda Forest Lodge Gallery

He was all about pangolins. The pangolin is in the exact same style as Ardmore. Was the bowl $850 or more? Such a grifting ARDWHORE. One bowl, several tablecloths, and dozens of napkins are not enough, the greedy jackass wants a “ table parade” of tens of thousands of dollars of custom created ARDWHORE CERAMICS paid for with grifted e begged funds collected with lies and scams on the elderly.

He has the audacity to write a fake comment in the CD comment section with the suggestion that perhaps Ardmore could come out with a collection with the dump crew that was more affordable for viewers?

Look like Fee Halsted doesn’t want the ashes of the abused Ratso 1.0. to be tossed down the heating unit hole by the Dump chapel either. She presented the gruesome twosome with a box/urn that could hold the ashes of the dog that they cruelly abused and caused his premature death.

Fee should get a head start on making a box/ urn for moneymaker 2.0. FRK never watches the dog properly outdoors.The dog was running towards the gates to the road, just like Ratso 1.0.

ARDWHORE fan DROPPED A FEW THOUSAND $$$$$$$ at Ardmore, as usual. It was somewhat gratifying that hapless Baghead broke his previous Ardmore pIece. She dropped $1232 on napkins for Mummy alone (16 x $77 for each napkin.).

Here are a couple of items she grifted from Fee in London last year :

I can’t stand them are they not embarrassed about their shopping addiction, they’re always making excuses about needing to buy stuff. And that bloody coat she bought it was awful. People were staring at her and not in a good way, was it cut like coattails, I didn’t mind the material but it was...

The ARDWHORES ARE BACK! $600 ArdWhore tablecloth. And they are begging for money………disgusting! I am sure he purchased at least 8 napkins at $77 each. $616.00 plus the expensive porcelain. Over $1200 on tablecloth and napkins alone. What a bunch of con artists!

I believe that the new sofa cushions may also come from Ardmore. $155+ per cushion. can anyone locate them? Scalamandre? Liberty uk? Etsy? What a bunch of scammers.

The Ardmore napkins are $74 each ( no tax or shipping included). Snorts complained that they only had 6 napkins so he brought them to Mummy. $444.00 in napkins to be gifted to Mummy and Percy. I bet Snorts purchased a dozen Ard more napkins to use at the Dumo.

Their grill is on the narrowest side of the deck, less than 10 feet from the cows, shoved up against the trailer that could catch fire or melt instead of being father away on the larger end deck. A few bricks shy of a load, those two. 🙄
In my area, its against fire code to put a grill on a wood deck much less that close to the house.

Dan did an image rendering of what the library might look like. Amazingly, he didn’t haul up manky chairs, tattered curtains to use for upholstery or boxes of dusty ass books for a “display”. Go figure. 🤷🏼‍♀️😉

He’s going to be using parquet de Versailles for the flooring.

Well well well and there cmhf5776 speaks the truth.

Sadly I wonder how much this person has coughed up, never to see any of it put to fruition. I so hope there will be more who finally see this charade for what it is.

When I think of the well meaning people who have showered her with gifts during gift and beyond, she has absolutely no humility or gratitude. Spoiled as a child, spoiled and now selfish as an adult. Along with him in tow, they are a truely repulsive couple.
I’d bet my
Last dollar they are still sending her gifts!
