28:23 The Scottish Origins of Frozen Charlotte
We revisit Envy Beach! Last time, Nicole found a small ceramic piece that she did not want to say a lot about until we returned here. That is because that piece turned out to be a lovely wee piece of a frozen Charlotte, and we hoped that we might find more pieces today! Well, Charlotte gave us the slip today, but Envy Beach (aka Levenmouth) was generous with the blues today! We also find more shards of Victorian dripping jars, and Nicole finds an amazing glass stopper with just a wee chip on it!
Back home, Nicole has Five Fun Facts about Frozen Charlottes to share with you and Craig looks back to the Scottish Origins of the Frozen Charlotte Story and gives an insight into the political, moral and religious periodical publications that were once common in the UK and US.
Envy Beach is turning out to be a favourite location... We're sure to return and hope you can come with us when we do.
Thank you all so much for watching and helping us to keep doing what we do!
Update on Scotland's restrictions:
Today's video was filmed on the isolated and empty shores of Levenmouth - aka, Envy Beach.
We continue to follow restrictions so that we can work safely, responsibly, and legally.
We are permitted to travel within our local authority boundaries to reach a location of safety and isolation. We remain committed working as close to home as possible, and we will not meet with anyone from another household, despite being permitted to do so. We remain entirely committed to maintaining social distancing for the safety of others and ourselves.
Our policies:
- Since March 2020, we have met with no one at all - and we continued to isolate even when restrictions were relaxed.
- We never film in a busy location - aside from maintaining isolation, we could not make restful, calming, or relaxing content in a busy area.
- Since March 2020 we have restricted our travel to distances that allow us to get to our location, film our content, and return home, without ever visiting local amenities, entering any buildings etc. This gives us a reasonable window to work in while also maintaining that we are not out for very long.
- We only film once a week, and we always do that mid-week. If we arrive in an area and people are present, we leave without getting out of the car.
Our policies are simple and entirely concerned with maintaining social distancing so that we can be safe and so that we can ensure the safety of others. We will continue to follow these policies fully, and we will cease outdoor filming altogether should government guidance change.

😌(sigh)!!! I've absolutely fallen in love with the " Beach of Envy"!!! What an amazing shoreline 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! So chalked full of treasures 😊. I think I counted 10 pieces of blue glass, ranging from light blue, aqua, all the way to cobalt... how marvelous for you guys 🙌🏻👍🏻!!! I'm not sure I've seen anyone else find that much blue in one larking 🤔...EVER!!! So cool🙌🏻!!! Also I've NEVER seen a Bovril bottle so sea worn. Usually they've been dug up and are whole or partial. I really love the look after they've been buffed around by sea, sand and rocks for years👍🏻👍🏻. Glass washboards you say🤔...never seen one. Definitely something NOT for the children to mess around with 😳😬😉🤭. Really happy, Nicole that your prior ceramic find was a Frozen Charlotte find🙌🏻🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️!!! I've seen your shadow box display over your shoulder in early videos. FABULOUS way to display a part of your collection 🥰. 😳😮 Whoa, those "penny dolls" were alittle spooky looking😉. Your so right, Craig... Samuel Warren's story was abit sad, gruesome and stern. But, a medical man and definitely the times played largely into his story 🤷🏼‍♀️. I do like Elizabeth's story better 👍🏻. Alittle more easy on the ears and mind, although still a warning against vanity. Thanks for including Gilbert's picture "All is Vanity", I really have always been drawn to that picture...even have a dressing table like in the picture 🤷🏼‍♀️. Thanks for this amazing video at "The Beach of Envy"(should have an echo in there🤣🤭). 😉🤗🤭😘

Its such a great place! And usually very quiet, so the perfect location! We were so nearly there again today! haha! Instead we went around a mile further on down the road... It was a fantastic day for the blues! Usually, we're happy if we find one piece, so it was a real treat to find these wee breadcrumb trails! Its almost unimaginable that we'd find a whole Bovril bottle, it would be such a lovely thing if we found a whole one, but nicely buffed by the waves! :D Funnily enough, Craig was allowed to play around with a glass washing board when he was wee - perhaps not the best idea, but thankfully, no injuries! It was amazing to see the wee hints that it was a frozen Charlotte! The shadow box is a great way to make sure these wee dolls don't stay couped up and hidden away! We entirely agree about which Charlotte story we'd rather revisit - Warren's story is too steeped in harsh judgement, Elizabeth's is almost romantic in its tragedy. As you say, very much of their time - Craig didn't want to get into too much detail regards the publishers - it was very politically aimed! All is Vanity is one of those pictures that sticks with you when you first see it - illusions and double images are fantastic, this is a favourite! :D Haha! You know... the next time we visit Envy Beach... it might just have an echo! :D Our very best wishes, thanks so much for giving us a wee lift in spirits with these words today! :D xo

Interesting to note that vanity is still a problem among (mostly) young, unmarried women. However, the pendulum of condemnation in the 19th century has swung fully to the opposite side apex of commodification & manipulation of women's desire for beauty. What would men do, I wonder, if women just stopped worrying about what they think or want... ;)

Oh! Patriarchy, consumerism and gender! Its a very tricky set of inseparable subjects - thankfully we can question and critique these ideas in a way that was not possible back then! It would be nice if people weren't made to feel so inadequate by glossy and unrealistic photo-shopped reflections of an unobtainable 'perfection'...

The real story of Charlotte wasn't about porcelain dolls the real story of Charlotte was about a girl who was in love with a guy named Charlie and they were going to a ball and her mother told her to wear a sweater and she was in the carriage about the time the carriage got to the ball she had frozen to death and Charles was broken hearted and he died soon after All happened in 1840

@scottishmudlarking Жыл бұрын

Indeed, the dolls take their name from an old story, that actually originates in Edinburgh, Scotland! We cover this in detail in this video and provide references so you can read the original version written by the Edinburgh Physician, Samuel Warren. Warren's original story - Death at the Toilet - was published in Blackwoods Magazine (available online). Blackwoods was a conservative Edinburgh periodical. Warren republished this and other stories in, 'Diary of a Late Physician' - you can also find that online. Two years after Warren's story about Charlotte, the New York Observer retold his story, this is where the idea that it really happened comes from... Some time later, Elizabeth Oakes Smith published a version of the story under her husband’s name - this version, told as a poem, is the first to have Charlotte freeze to death... In the previous versions, she dies in front of her mirror, dreaming of the ball she is planning to attend. Oakes-Smith's poem was written far later than the original tale, and there is also a folk song telling the same story, which predates her version. It is a very interesting history of this morally condemning narrative, and most people only focus on the romantic poem, by Oakes Smith. Many thanks!
