    Hello everyone, just wanted to clarify that obviously Yorkshire is in the North of England… I’m not sure what I was thinking, must have been too tired from the dress making
    Sorry again!

    If you were ever to see me, you would not think in a million years, that I would know about the Brontë sisters or be interested in dolls and such, but one of my all-time favorite stories is Wuthering Heights. And the original black and white movie still haunts me to this day. The fact that you lovely ladies took your doll making skills out to the Wiley windy Moores and commenced to starting that wonderful doll right out in such a historic and phenomenal setting is just FASCINATING! The use of the local Heather and ‘found’ doll parts just took me away to a home I’ve never seen. Oh, thank you so much for this! Just phenomenal! I just Love what you Ladies do!💎❤️💎

    My ancestors lived in Haworth for many generations and are buried in All Saints churchyard , they were there the same time as The Brontës . Their father Rev. Patrick Brontë presided over many of their baptisms, marriages and burials and his signature appears on many of my families old church documents

  • @rockreader4298
    @rockreader4298 2 роки тому +3

    Thank You Lovelies, for this captivating share of the making of Bronte Heather. All her bits seemed uniquely appropriate, at the end of the day. ( : A suggestion for dying fabrics: Gather a variety of leaves, bark, nut shells, berries and flower petals to experiment with. Whether fresh or dry., should do the job. Tip: If you left the heather in the water only briefly, before placing the fabric into it, I feel it would have been more yellow, rather than beige. Tom Burleigh's voice can stir the soul, as well as soothe the savage beasts. Good choice for the reading, adding more complexity to your already wonderful video.

I love the little special touches you give to everything. I lovè the Brontes and I love Beatrix Potter so I hope it is her. The quick picture you showed reminded me of her home. I have never been there but always wished I could have gone. Enjoy every minute with each other. Lots of love from Diane in upstate New York. ♥️

    When I visited the parsonage, I was struck by how small Charlotte’s dress was, and the early very tiny writing was amazing. Imagine the staggering genius that lived in that house! Also, if Charlotte’s husband had not stepped in to preserve everything, we wouldn’t have anything to visit today.

    I love your channels and the fact that you take broken bits and make beautiful dolls and furniture from them. I love the Bronte sisters and Jane Austen and could not wait for my granddaughter to be old enough to read them with her. I too try to save broken, dirty and damaged dolls and try to lovingly clean fix and repair what I can. But I absolutely love them imperfections and all. Saving bits and pieces of history is brilliant. Sadly I was born on the wrong side of the pond. England is beautiful and I love visiting there. Maybe one day having a little place of my own in the countryside. Getting to go mudlarking! Thank you for your channels and the great enjoyment you bring me.

    I visited Haworth over 20 years ago and it looks the same. Beautiful scenery but a forlorn and harsh place to live, constant wind, green but isolated and I understand why they were all sickly. I give you proper credit for trying to do a doll on location! That is way out of the normal comfort zone of UA-cam. You guys really do like a challenge! Thank you for a great video and a beautiful trip in time.

    I love Haworth. Did you see the Apothecary, on the cobbled slope? I spent ages in there, absolutely thrilled with everything I saw...and the book shop further down the slope? 😍 Such a wonderful place. Well, I think Bronte is charming, you dressed her very well and she looks like she's strolled along the moors😊 if her face bothers you too much, you could always make her a bonnet with ribbons for ties and that will cover the sides of her face, either way, I think she's adorable.
