Jeri I find your channel so relaxing and needful in these days of Chaos.

Hope you know how much we love and appreciate your artfully made story videos. We love you for being you😊❤️❤️❤️

I think this is one of my favorite videos. I love the background music, the sounds of all the cooking utensils & ingredients. I prefer watching this instead of any home/cooking channel on TV. The prep leads to the excitement. I wonder, what neat antique,beautiful art, gadget, preserved recipe, background story, instruction, tips, will she give us? These episodes are precious!!! Thank you! P.S. Never heard of “hartshorn”, pretty neat, even the grater for the spices, ya gotta love it!!🥰🌸

I had considered myself a somewhat knowledgeable baker, but had never heard of Hartshorn. This is why I love your videos. They are so beautiful and I am always learning new things. Thank you.

This was a beautiful show, the way that you explain everything and of course the cookies you are indeed a extraordinary woman.

Oh my what a delightful video for Valentines day . The cookie molds and baked cookies are Beautiful , almost to pretty to eat .The Scherenschnitte is Beautiful as well , like a doily delicate and fragile .A lost art for sure .Thank you for such a lovely video on a Special day . Love and hugs to you .

Those cookies are like cameos. So beautiful.

Of course you painted your cookies, I would expect nothing else. Gorgeous!

I remember my 5th grade teacher introducing us to scherenschnitte. I’ve always loved it since then. I drink my coffee with cinnamon too.

Love watching you work with antique tools. Helps to see what the women went through to cook. Just beautiful!

you are a true artist, Jeri!

Thank you, Jeri. You teach us so much in your beautiful videos on ways of appreciating life.

Absolutely awesome, thanks so much for this Shakespearian fairy tale video. Love all your videos, they are authentic jewels.

After watching you beat the eggs, it is so clear that even the simplest tools that our Grandmothers used worked the best. I love my House on the Hill Springerle molds. You have some really nice ones.

I can not stop watching your videos, you just live a slower pace of life, so nice to see in todays fast track world. Thank you for sharing.

My NaNa made theses. Hers were almond flavor because my grandfather liked the flavor. My aunt has her three molds .one has a Lamb an doves .

..........Dear Jerri, I enjoy your post so much. I play your videos on the tv and your voice alone makes the home less lonely. With Co-vid things get very quite and lonely. Your voice and lessons perk the day up so much and I learn too!! Thank you so much~~Mary Ann

Such a wonderful start to a new week and the best surprise any Monday could give. The genius of Jeri. 🙂💓💕

Thank you. I enjoy all your videos. I love antiques, flowers, pretty things, etc. You have them all. I love that you use old kitchen tools and old silver. You set a lovely table always. Thank you again for all your videos. God bless you.

My goodness, what a beautiful video! Happy Valentine's Day, Jeri! ❤️

Your videos are always so calming and peaceful. Thank you.

My favorite KZfaqr!!! When I need peace serenity and calmness this is where i go.....to Hopalong Hollow 🥰🥰🥰 Your Denver fan .....

Thank you so much for this beautiful time with you. I have a friend that learned scherenschnitte . She did them for Christmas and gave me 2 of them. They hang from my light over the table. I also was given one that was a valentine framed. You made them come a live. The little coffee cups remind me of my collection of tiny cups and saucers. I was allowed to drink coffee but had cream more than coffee when I was a child. I have 3 of them and they mean so much to me. I have 2 sets of silver . They are from my Grand fathers cousins , they were all from Denmark. The small silverware was used for a Danish coffee. One set had a fork and a spoon. The others were one side a fork contacted a thicker side for scooping up or cut what ever you needed it for. They have an England stamp on the back. I can barely see it with a magnifying glass. The cookies were a delight. But wow you have to have patience. I loved every minute of this video. I thought about my Grandparents and friends. I have used the silver different times. I keep them in little plastic bags and they don't tarnish in them. Oh I almost forgot. I saw you drop sugar cubs into a bowl. That was a must at Grandma's. Well Happy Valentine's Day Jeri and thank you again for taking the time to show us your beautiful cutting out those tiny hearts and flowers. you have the patience. Joyce

Ooh, I'm so curious about the 24 hour batch! This video was an absolute treat! I've been obsessed with springerle, and sometime around November I sketched out several patterns that I thought I might try to carve on my own. I have experience with linocut, and my own hubris assured me that wood wouldn't be *too* difficult a medium to switch to.😅 Let me just say, it took me 6+ hours to complete only 3/4 of the woven outer border. My roses look a trifle smooshed, but in all honesty, I think it's a good beginning for a first attempt! I ultimately set the project aside for a bit, but only because a new mania consumed me. Speaking of new manias, your stunning Valentines have inspired me...🤔😅thanks again for an amazing video!

This was the perfect treat especially since Valentine’s Day is my birthday.

Happy Valentine's Day,. ❤️ What a wonderful surprise to find your video this evening, a perfect ending to a beautiful day. I learn something new with each and every one. Hello to sweet Alfalfa,🦆

Most of my family came from Switzerland and the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. I like to imagine my ancestors making Springerle. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Your videos are such a gift and a treasure.

Wonderful video Jeri! I still think you should put together a cook book w/ all your wonderful recipes. Of course you would need to sprinkle throughout your amazing art work & photographs of your lovely gardens & beautiful table settings! I know I would snatch up a copy of that book in a heart beat!😊 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY JERI & FRIENDS OF HOPALONG HOLLOW!!!💝💐💌💘❣🏵💗💞🌹💕💖

I love your art and attention to detail. Just gorgeous.....

Thank you for this Valentine video. I really enjoyed it as I do all you’re videos. Happy Valentine’s Day to you.❤️

Such a lovely video Jeri! I so look forward to them and was excited that you posted today. Those are the loveliest cookies that I have ever seen, such intricate detail and I so enjoyed watching you make them. Your paper cutting is exquisite, beautiful detail and so much work to make them, amazing! I loved your coffee time too, those little cups are so adorable ( I collect red transfer-ware) and how wonderful to learn about Anne Hathaway! Thank you for taking the time to make such wonderful videos, you are my favorite!

I very much enjoyed watching you make the cookies. There is something meditative in watching your hands gently working. ❤️ 💕

Bravo another excellent video!!👏 So excited each week to see these! Happy Valentine's Day!💙

Sooooooo needed this today Jeri! Still losing loved ones; just too much. Thank God for prayer....and Jeri's channel.

Hi Jerry! I loved to see you bake our traditional Christmas cookies. My grandma used to make them all the time. They are a traditional german Christmas cookie, which a lot of people do not bake anymore. So wonderful to see you make this historical cookie which descends from the Middle Ages. You explain it all very well. I also adore your Scherenschnitte! You know, we are a bit ahead in time from the USA and I am watching this video on Monday, a day after Valentine`s Day. But it came just in perfect timing. It is like a Liebesbrief arrived from a beloved and kindred spirit, in devine timing. My husband died in 2014 and he was from Switzerland. There is so much love in your videos dear Jerry. Thank you so much. P.S.: I adore Shakespeare

As always--Superb! Thanks Jeri, hope you had a great day!xxx

WOW, what a wonderful and informative video...you put a lot of thought and yourself in your videos and I really appreciate it.

I love all the history lessons.

I know this is an Older video but I’m just now getting to see this upload it’s such a treat for me when I’m not working to find a new one to watch or even re-watch or listen to your old ones. Jeri therapy!! I love it thank you Jeri I appreciate you.🫖

I just love your presentation! Thank you

My grandma used to make these cookies,,, she rolled them out about the same but had a rolling pin w/squares and little figures on it ...then she cut each square out and let them dry a long time (but when you’re a kid anytime you have to wait for a cookie is a long time! Lol) Then she baked them and the smell was heavenly! When they came out of the oven they were little pillow cookies with a pocket of air...! It made them Devine 💖. I loved them! Gma would make each of us grandkids a Christmas Cookie Box (decorated of course) this cookie was one of the selection! Beautiful memories 🙏💖🙏

Super show !!!!🙇🙇🙆🙆🙆💖💖💖💖💖💖👍

Thank you, I enjoyed everything! Thanks for all the research you do, it's so interesting and so appreciated!

Jeri, what a sweet surprise when this video popped up on my cell phone! Both portions of music were absolutely perfect. Thank you for the information for those cookies. They remind me of Easter. Blessings!

You are a wonderful talented artist,so enjoy watching.thank you.

Thank you so much, Jeri. Your video was a treat on such a cold dreary day.❤️

My mother was from PA Dutch stock and born in Berks County, but her family didn't practice this lovely craft. She was a great knitter, crocheter, and especially, cook, so I know she would have enjoyed learning to create these lovely works of art.💜

Thank you so much for sharing your very beautiful video, your Valentine cookies are so very pretty. Thank you again for sharing.

Happy Valentine's Day Jeri! First of all I must say that I'm admiring your flared blouse sleeves, so adorable! I can only imagine what the rest of your blouse looks like! :) Perfect for the day! The Cookies are so detailed and beautiful, they seem like a lot of work and I would hate to clean the wood presses! The Valentine's are lovely and I see exactly why you adore them, with all the flowers and peacocks and all! Nice history lesson on William and Ann, I never knew about her. Your little heart dish is adorable! Thanks for sharing!

Oh your videos make my whole month🤍

Jeri, everything you do and I mean everything is absolute perfection! The cookies are amazing! Happy Valentines Day!

Gorgeous video Jeri, always enjoy watching. The crockery was made by Wyott and sons, and as far as I can gather they were made approximately in the 1950s. My sister in law lives in Warwickshire so I will try and get some more information. We are still on a strict lockdown here in England, so things not so good at the moment. Your video came at the perfect time for me, enjoyed with my cup of coffee 🤗 I have an eighteenth century beautiful museum in the parkland behind my house. I used to belong to the Walker family who were pioneers in iron and steel production in South Yorkshire. It's a stunning house and I often visit ( when out of lockdown) and have a coffee in the quaint coffee shop. It's like going back in time, I love it there. Waffle over lol Take care, stay safe xx

Hi Jeri, my daughter is head gardener at anne hathaways house and shakespeares birthplace house. :) so I enjoyed this so very much. Hanleys , is based in stoke-on-trent, the heart of the potteries in the UK, nearly all tea sets and fine china ornaments were made in stoke. As were the famouse staffordshire flat backs. Sadly not many potteries are left there now, but I do believe Hanleys is still going. I visited there with my mother about 10 years ago. I LOVE the moulds, I also collect moulds, and it was so nice to see yours. I dont think you ever see two the same. Have a wonderful week and thanks for another beautiful vlogg xxxx

The cookie molds made such beautiful cookies. I love them. Your video so coming. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless ok

Lovely as always....you are such an artist!!!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Love love love the cups/saucers 💕

I caught this early on a snowy, icy Kentucky morning. I just sat back with my coffee and completely enjoyed, wishing I had one of those beautiful cookies to dip in my coffee. How beautiful, calming, and relaxing!

You are my favorite utube channel, everything about your life is what i love!!

Such a beautiful video. Very interesting.

I really enjoyed your show today....so many beautiful things to see that you create. Thanking you 🇦🇺

Your cookies look amazing. Love watching you cook . I always learn so much watching your videos. Love how you give the history of everything. Always look forward to seeing a new video from you. Happy Valentine’s Day to you.

The cookies are gorgeous! Tiny masterpieces....I love how you use the antique kitchen utensils, its like going back in time and I find it so peaceful and relaxing to watch rather then using noisy modern electric utensils. Your videos are always a special treat and I look forward to each one. Thanks for sharing

Hi Jeri! !! So beautiful.

Dearest Jeri , Thank you I enjoyed this so very much . You truly are a Earth Angel 💕✨💐✨I look forward to making these lovely Delights . Love and Blessing and more than a sprinkle of gratitude even more than a bushel and a peckXXX ❤️💕✨

Hanley is a town in Stoke on Trent (about 40 mins drive from where I live), which is also known as The Potteries due to the area being a large manufacturer of china ware and pottery back in the day. The area still produces china ware to this day but nowhere near as large a scale as they used to. I expect that is where your plate comes from.

What a beautiful video...will watch it many times over. The Pennsylvania Dutch were a skilled and beautiful people displaying these traits in their food and art. Thank you, Jeri, for showing us how to do both. In a world of hurry, hurry, hurry your quiet demeanor takes us away from the stress of the day to a simpler more rewarding time giving us a pride of accomplishment. Can't wait to try these artful pleasures, and cinnamon in my coffee!

Jeri, what a wonderful, very infomat I've video! Your paper cutting' s are gorgeous. Thank you for this lovely respite from this crazy world we are living in now.

How very beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing EVERYTHING! I love the tiny demitasse cups!💓

Thank you! So beautiful and relaxing to watch.👏💕🙋‍♀️🤗

Oh how I needed this today....Red and white Staffordshire is what I collect and nothing beats coffee with cookies.

Very beautiful and interesting video! Thank you so much for sharing. XX

So beautiful,, amazing,,

I’m watching this again Memorial Day 2022. Just to relax.

Beautiful

So lovely. This is like visiting heaven. Personally I deem coffee the elixir of life.

Thank you. A very nice end to the day. Will want to try these cookies.

Oh this is such a beautiful video Jeri!!! One of my favorites for sure. I have so many favorites !!! You are a treasure indeed ❤️ One more thing, have you seen the movie All Is True? It’s a beautiful movie about Shakespeare and Ann. I absolutely love it. Judy Dench plays Ann. I own it and have watched it so many times. The more I watch it, the more I love it. I see and hear something new each time. I also have the soundtrack...love it too. PS...the movie mentions the “second best bed” 😊 Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️

What a wonderful and educational video. Hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day.

Thank you Jeri! !!💞💞💞👍👍👍👍

You go girl .You almost have 40 thousand subscribers.

I am so glad you made these, and you have given me an idea. I have the old wooden roller that has the pictures on them. I will mode them and use a cookie cutter to cut them out in different shapes This is my absolute favorite thing in the world to eat. My aunt made them for me on special occasions. I would watch her make them it took 2 days. Then you let them sit to dry even more, I thought I'd never get a cookie LOL. I have not made them myself, when she turned 90 she gave me the roller with the pictures and the recipe. I so want to make them now that I've seen you refresh my mind. So thank you very much for doing this video. It made my day.

Your cookies are so cute and lovely And your house is like a fairy tale picture house It's so beautiful Your table baking is all picturesque and beautiful🤍😛🥰

Thank you for this beautiful atmosphere and Shakespeare.

Springerle are my children’s favorite!

Hello, it is quite seldom to see somebody from the US baking Springerle. I am from southern Germany and we still make Springerle. We make them for Christmas. Our recipe calls for: 4 Eggs, 500g powdered sugar, 500g flour, 1 knife point of Hirschhornsalz and Anis. The Springerle should dry over night. The next day you brush the Springerle at the bottom with water, than sprinkle Anis seeds on the waxed baking sheet, put the Springerle on top and bake on low heat. Love your Springerle, they look good and for me it feels like Christmas...

My mother in law maid springerlies. I loved them. Thank you so much!!!

Hi Jeri! Another wonderful episode!! I love how you use the old kitchen utensils! But after 20 minutes on those eggs...wow! My arms hurt for you in sympathy!!!!! I also love all the history you share with us...and introduce us to new things 😍 Thank you 😊 xx

I stumbled upon your channel and absolutely love it. I watch it in bed and it is so soothing. It helps calm my anxiety from the chaotic day.

I like to think (though I know he wasn’t a faithful husband and I’m probably wrong) that “second-best bed” was some kind of private joke between them, so when she read that Anne smiled and said “That’s my Will.”

This was such a lovely video!!!It’s a calming ,peaceful and learning experience . Thank you for that. What Beautiful works of art you have created.

Gosh I wished we still had these types of traditions. Back than things were made with care and pride. They really did live life beautifully. I love your cookies and artwork. Thank-you for the video Jeri and hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day.

OMG, I was just about to say how delicious the dough looked -- I would be eating half of it before even shaping the cookies -- and then you mentioned the ammonia in it! 😳 Well nevermind then! I always enjoy your videos; the cookies came out so beautifully!💕🍪🥀🌼

Beautiful video Jeri! I was so excited to watch it! We are buried in snow at the moment and I’m trying to embrace it! But I just want to start gardening now! Please keep the videos coming, no matter what you make we all seem to love it! It’s a little slice of heaven in each video.

Thank you Jeri! Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️ I have made springerle before and have a few molds, so fun! My recipes called for beating the egg yolks for 10 minutes, lots of drying and very low temp oven, but they turned out great.

Wonderful to have had Valentine's coffee with you, thank you for such a lovely video Jeri.

Beautiful video Jeri, as always 😊. Those cookies are just stunning. I learn something new in each video ☺️. Enjoy your evening!

I'm rewatching your videos and loving them even more !! Entertainment with a history lesson !!

Gorgeous! Beautiful! Love them! I've never seen such beautiful cookies in all my life of shopping at German bakeries!

🦋This is a lovely video and truly brings back the memory of my Grandmother (our family tree goes back to the Alsace-Lorraine region you mentioned) making these cookies. I also recall not being a fan of them! I was very young and thought the cookies were hard as a rock! What I wouldn’t give now to be in her kitchen, enjoying a cookie dunked in a cup of her boiled coffee. Thank you, Jeri 💕
