    If your ever feeling down in the dumps, just watch these two ladies and their overflowing excitement and enthusiasm for things you and I may not even notice. On the Scottish waste heap! The things they get into raptures about, with a view to making jewellery or magical creations at some later date! I always come away smiling, because of excitement in finding a marble, also known as “cod marbles!” A broken off dolls ear! Etc etc! You will come away smiling with a different outlook on life! Well done ladies! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋‍♀️😘😘💐💕

    Sooooo glad to hear you referring to the reclaimed tile and pottery garden path project. I SO want to see that project and I think you'll be surprised how easy it is to do it in increments. No need to put the project off, thinking of it as daunting and you have to accomplish it in entirety. Start at your doorstep, so every day crossing your threshold, the beauty of it will be inspiration to do another segment.😉 Happy Easter ladies!

    33:59 I think the "1 ATM" on the dial relates to 1 Atmosphere, so it may have registered pressure, possibly in a working steam boiler in a toy. I am told that the children in the U.K. also took the marbles out of the bottles and used them in their slingshots/catapults to shoot at ducks.

    Have you considered making a paving stone with bottle stoppers. Based on videos I have seen, you would put the bottle stoppers upside down in a mold and pour concrete over them. I imagine it would also work with the flat bases of broken bottles. It would be a nice way to use all those beautiful broken colored bottles. Lovely video, as usual. Cheers Ladies.

    Such lovely little finds! Thank you for sharing, and caring about the history. By the by, my husband suggests that the wee boar with his hole-y bum could be part of a clay pipe smoking kit. Perhaps part of a tamp, a cleaner or ream. He recalls a bit of his great uncle’s pipe smoking habits and seems sure that could be what it is, albeit a poor man’s version probably.
