Wow, your comment just came full circle to me today. I've just had legitimately one of the HARDEST weeks in my life...and just when I thought it couldn't get ANY WORSE, it did😢. And rn I'm in tears reading your comment, because I'm missing my mama too rn, and I don't know if you've ever read: Alexander and the Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day~ but my mom used to read that book to me & it was 1 of my sons fave books & I read it to him as a little boy. Your comment just reminded me of those memories; so Thank You❤

Grolsch is a Dutch light beer, you could get in Oregon some years ago, before they had some kind of trouble's with distribution. We still have the bottle's from the few we bought, as they make perfect containers for our homemade vanilla, which we make using vanilla beans and high grade vodka. Their lovely resealing bottle top with rubber seal makes it perfect for reuse. I thought your charms were simply charming, and it was a delight as usual to see the treasures you found and how you used them. I adore the golden periwinkles and wish we had them here too. They are so sweet and like little golden drops of sunshine. The history you discover is so very interesting. It is amazing what can be found from such tiny objects. Thank you so much for going to the effort to bring us these nuggets of history. It really broadens our understanding, and makes the pieces that much more interesting.

Alex, I’m just amazed by your talents…to do so many different things, and so well!!! The silver casting and other techniques that you use with making jewelry, the way you skillfully made the little ink pot from a lump of clay that you found on the bank of the creek, setting the blue glass in silver, I could just go on and on! Not to mention the video filming and editing that you do for the channel. You’re absolutely amazing!! Of course, you have such a wondrously gifted mother…a true artist! So, yes…Claire! Where do I start? Glass working, making beads, setting treasures in jewelry, making the little Northern Mudlarks brick from a piece of the same little lump that you helped Alex grab! And those antler carvings!!! They literally made me gasp! They’re stunning!!! The two of you are incredible! I have the tools gathered, and set up to start learning how to solder metals for setting cabs for jewelry! So excited about learning a new art skill as an artist. I’m a watercolorist. I’m not a professional, but I am trying and learning! Would you mind if I try to paint Scotland…using some of the images in your videos for subject matter? Please let me know! 😃 I’ve wanted to see Scotland, I’m sure I had ancestors there (my maiden name is Kennedy). I can’t go, but I’m getting to see it through your videos! What a blessing! Thank you, to the two of you, for inspiring me to go further! And thank you for sharing these beautiful videos with us all! Blessings, Jacqui ❤️

I'm not sure why I enjoy the making part at the end of the videos so much, but I really do. They are very similar, but that's somehow relaxing and comforting. If they are making a silver-wrapped pendant, for example, I start to anticipate which sounds are coming next because I've gotten so used to the process. Seeing the end result is more satisfying as well when you've watched the work and artistry that went into creating it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'd love to have a tenth of the talent that both you and Alex have. Both your personalities are wholesome with just the right bit of cheeky mixed in.
