I also agree 100% with Stephanie's comment, "Seeing the chairs in their full glory for the first time with a properly laid table....that is exquisite." Followed by sharing Tatinette's birthday celebration. Happy daze to all.

The bunnies look wonderful with the herbs in them - they could actually be there all the time with herbs planted in them to use for cooking on a regular basis. Happy Birthday Chantel!

Excellent idea... but perhaps in the window sills where they would get more light, and moving them to the table for occasional decor.

🎄🎄🎄 The herb bouquets were perfect as they didn’t detract from all the “bunnyness”, as flowers would have. And they keep well in water…very handy for cooking and you don’t have to run outside in the winter! Don’t underestimate your flower(herb) arranging talents, Stephanie!🎄🎄

Well said @patrciamorris670 I wish before people post any negative type of questions or negative comments that they consider the time and effort in creating daily videos for the worlds enjoyment. I also wonder if they consider how they would feel being on the receiving end of such comments . I also wish they would consider the kindness that Stephanie Jarvis and the Lalonders show and share with all individuals, animals and it’s flora before suggesting any lack of care or suggesting how things SHOULD be done. Perhaps if the critics begin sharing their daily life with the world they can be afforded the same platform to say how it should be done. Until then I suggest we maintain the wonderful peace that Lalonde affords us because of the care of the Lalonders.
