I attend a recovery group (recovery from anything -- substances, people, emotional issues) -- and we have used the story of Kintsugi to show that people who once were whole, and have been broken -- can be patched back together, and we can even be proud of the scars and repairs, and be stronger for going through it all. Great to see you recovering these great artifacts -- and not hiding the repairs in some cases, but showing the care you have for restoring broken things....
Hello Gail and Alex. We had such a wonderful time on our mudlarking adventure with you lovely ladies. I had had a rough, long night at work, and this video was just what I needed to relax. Gail, how lucky were you to come across all the broken pieces of that plate, and Alex, you did an amazing job on the kintsugi repair with the gold leaf. The plate is my vote for the windowsill of wonders this week, along with the chatelaine's tool, I'm so glad you're not melting it down. Thanks as always for your wonderfully upbeat personalities and the informative stories behind some of your finds. I never knew about breast pumps being around since, well, almost forever. Truly a wonderful haul this week. Greetings and good wishes to you both from your friend in North Carolina. Take care until next time. The swans in the background are so pretty and peaceful.
HI GUYS!! I LIKE THE MAY FLOWER PLATE YOU REPAIRED, LOVE THE GOLD YOU PUT ON THE CRACKS. THIS DESERVES A SPOT IN THE WINDOW OF WONDERS. ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND LOVED HOW YOU REPAIRED THE PLATE. THANKS FOR SHARING AND STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY ❤️ 🙏❤️🙏
Ladies, you really outdid yourselves this week! WOW 🫶 The poison bottles are AMAZING, and that chatelaine set! Chatelaines chains were the “mom purses” of their day, weren’t they? “Scissors, nail cleaner, magnifying glass… no problem! I’ve got you!” Also - Betty White at 26:16 #awww! #StayGoldenGirls ✨
Awesome finds I love all the beautiful bottles and love the silver thing that was said it was part of a tool thing ladies had hanging from there dress.
Love love love that Gail found all the pieces of a broken plate! That's in my top 5 favorite Northern Mudlarks moments. And the repair that Alex did is stunning.
The beautiful plate. The Chatelaine was special. As a needle worker ( cross stitch, needle painting and satin work) I love the ability to keep my tools right on my person. So special.
Full of amazing finds , love my potion bottle I though I would have to guess , I had made a list ! Lol thanks for the shout out . Really like the mix of finds info and craft mixed up keeps you watching for more x
It’s the chatelaine pieces for me, so much history surrounds them. They make such practical sense especially for crafters. I can think of lots of useful bits and pieces to carry with me, the bonus being never having to say “now where did I put that down?” Your lovely plate restoration was a very close second.
Stiff & Sons made salt glazed stoneware insulators from at least the 1870s... lovely little pot. Those tiles are absolutely beautiful! Such strong colours. That little silver multi tool is fab! Alex did an amazing job of that gorgeous plate!
I think the side of the riverbed is the best place for you ladies to find the amazing treasures! So much to see and love the stories of the research about those items that you both find. Stay safe and well gals!
The reconstructed plate.. its especially amazing as you found all the broken bits & looks fab with the golden over lay.. grand job Gail.. my choice for the window display.
The dish with the kinsugi treatment is an absolute treasure. So beautiful. Preserving history in such a lovely artful way. Thank you for sharing with us.
Alex you have one of the most amazing and beautiful eye for cinematography I have ever seen. That is what first drew me to continue watching your channel from the first time I saw one of your videos. I had never seen any mudlarking videos before yours and thanks to your creative and exquisite skills with a camera I am now not only addicted but enthralled by it. I have always dreamed of living the life you and your wonderful mother seem to live. In an old house in the country living simply and peacefully with your animals. I've never been out of the US and have always wished to go to the UK. I still hope to go one day and you both have reinvigorated my dream of one day being able to go. I recently found out I have distant relatives still living in Scotland and Ireland. So again thank you for all you do to keep everyone entertained. ❤️
I’m in love with the concept of repairing a cherished piece with gold. It makes it more precious ❣️ For the wall of wonder, I nominate the repaired dish and the small blue poison bottle. Whatever makes it to the WOW will be just right❣️
I found your channel through a collberation you did with Kit and Caboodlers. You and your Mum are as delightful as Fleaur and Kate. Your enthusiasm is just as infectious. I have subscribed and rung your bell. I watch mudlarking videos while doing my hand sewing on history specific clothes for my vintage dolls . the lovely music and soft english voices are such a sweet background.
I love all the poison bottles and the tiny pixie head, but my choice for the window of wonders is the broken dish made whole again and enhanced with gold along its fault lines. A lovely up-cycling.
Once again, you’ve managed to clean and polish up some lovely treasures! Please consider a video sharing the secrets to cleaning and making beautiful all the bottles and metal items! Shine on, ladies!! This Texas gal can hardly wait to go mudlarking someday!
Love the chatelaine piece! And the fact that you did not throw it in melting pot but took the time to discover what it was. It deserves a window spot ❤️
I think that this episode of mud lurking for you has to be the best in variety and quality! Love watching everyone of your postings. Your jewelry your bottle digging your mud Larkin all of it and the nature that you include in them is very relaxing
oh what gorgeous finds. Chatelaine pieces for the window. I have to say I love the pixie head, hope you do make a silver pixie head. Stay safe and take care. 😊
Thank you for such an enjoyable film. Awesome.

Favorite thing this week is the little imp head🍀😊💚
Love to watch you two lovely ladies! I live in the Southern part of USA! I am a big fan!
I love you put gold on the cracks, instead of trying to hide them! Like accepting wrinkles, it’s part of life and history ❤️
And gray hair♥️I love mine😂
I love the gold touch too
That's the essence of Kintsugi....

Another beautiful evening watching you lovely ladies! I like everything you found, the black and white basket weave pipe bowls maybe for the window!❤
Love the blue poison bottle and the sponge print sherd.
Yours, mine and ours. Sharing is wonderful between you two!
The plate repair in the Japanese style is simply divine! I love how you create art from the found items!

The chatelaine would look stunning on a long silver chain ❤️❤️❤️love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have used copper foil tape and soldiered the pieces together. Love your way also.
It’s the chatelaine pieces for me, so much history surrounds them. They make such practical sense especially for crafters. I can think of lots of useful bits and pieces to carry with me, the bonus being never having to say “now where did I put that down?” Your lovely plate restoration was a very close second.
I agree. These were my choice as well.
Wonderful finds, I vote for the silver tools and the smallest cobalt blue poison to go in the window :-)
Exceptional finds!
Mix a little mica powder with the glue for your kintsugi, amazing video as always,always so beautifully done with amazing finds,thank you.
Gorgeous Alex…thank you!!!
Stiff & Sons made salt glazed stoneware insulators from at least the 1870s... lovely little pot. Those tiles are absolutely beautiful! Such strong colours. That little silver multi tool is fab! Alex did an amazing job of that gorgeous plate!

So much to see and love the stories of the research about those items that you both find. Stay safe and well gals!
I vote for the tiny pixie head! Adorable! What great finds!
I'd love to watch more crafts and casting..or beads
I love the Chatelaine piece for the window of wonders or a poison bottle for the wonderful history you gave us. Thanks!
The little pixie head would be so lovely cast in silver for a necklace or charm
The chatelaine would look great on a long silver chain ❤️❤️❤️❤️love it well spotted 🥰🥰😍😍
I love watching and learning about the things you find
A gold coin one day, and now a gold saucer😀

What a wonderful day of finds. I say the pin holder of silver in the window and the brown poison bottle.
I’m in love with the concept of repairing a cherished piece with gold. It makes it more precious ❣️
For the wall of wonder, I nominate the repaired dish and the small blue poison bottle. Whatever makes it to the WOW will be just right❣️
Excellent kintsugi repair to that little forgotten dish. Beautiful work, as usual.
What a variety of treasures you found this week.
I found your channel through a collberation you did with Kit and Caboodlers. You and your Mum are as delightful as Fleaur and Kate. Your enthusiasm is just as infectious. I have subscribed and rung your bell. I watch mudlarking videos while doing my hand sewing on history specific clothes for my vintage dolls . the lovely music and soft english voices are such a sweet background.
Beautiful poison bottles. Just love them. Lot of other cool finds. Love your videos. Can't wait till the next one. Keep mud larking.
To many to choose from,the plate that Alex fixed is probably my best treasure of this video.
Brilliant finds Ladies!
Loved this episode of treasures. The silver tools are my choice for the window of wonder. But they are all worthy.
I like the little Pixie head it'll go great with your clay pipe mushrooms. I was thinking icicle for the melted thermomotor.
Love the chatalaine piece and have to admit I like the black pipe and pixie head very much. Thanks for the fun trip.
I love all the poison bottles and the tiny pixie head, but my choice for the window of wonders is the broken dish made whole again and enhanced with gold along its fault lines. A lovely up-cycling.
i am so happy that y'all brought home that funky stone...that has GREAT energy...no idea what it is but it is so cool.
Once again, you’ve managed to clean and polish up some lovely treasures! Please consider a video sharing the secrets to cleaning and making beautiful all the bottles and metal items! Shine on, ladies!! This Texas gal can hardly wait to go mudlarking someday!
I absolutely love the tiny poison bottles! Good job, ladies!
What a wonderful episode, yet again you make me dream of faraway places. One day, I will find my way over there. Have a wonderful day. Take Care Dee
Love the chatelaine piece! And the fact that you did not throw it in melting pot but took the time to discover what it was. It deserves a window spot ❤️
I agree
Excelente program today, learn lots. Thank you ladies.💕
The shatalein tool for the window of wonders 🥰🥰👍🏴
Great finds, I vote for the silver Victorian tool
So many beautiful things it is hard to choose. I like the repaired dish with the gold.
That silver tool holder would be good for the window. I'm glad your not going to melt it.
Love the plate repair!!
That came out beautiful! I’ve learned so much from you ladies!
Thanks for the needed fix lovely finds 👌🌟🧡
I think that this episode of mud lurking for you has to be the best in variety and quality! Love watching everyone of your postings. Your jewelry your bottle digging your mud Larkin all of it and the nature that you include in them is very relaxing
Such lovely ladies😊
I do hope that you understand how much joy you bring to viewers!
So kind of you to say - and thank you so much for your generosity, it's so kind on you! xx
gold leaf added to the cracks was a very cleaver touch. It made the plate look like it was a work of art and meant to be that way.
I originally thought the chatelaine, but then the octagonal blue bottle was so beautiful, it would just shine in the window!
Great finds! So many intact poison bottles! And the chatelaine is a true treasure. I vote for it to be in the window of wonders.
What an absolutely amazing lark!!!!Lark!!!!! Too many goodies to be able to pick a favorite! ❤
The chatelaine piece should go in the window . What an amazing piece of history!
oh what gorgeous finds. Chatelaine pieces for the window. I have to say I love the pixie head, hope you do make a silver pixie head. Stay safe and take care. 😊
Love your bottles, girls and pixie heads and all the other finds you found
Thank you for the information and history! Great job!
The hexagonal ink with the 'W' on it was a Waterman's ink. Great finds and the cobalt poisons are a treat.
Wee bit luck checking in😂 thanks guys❤️
Your repair of that broken plate is beautiful!
The wonderful repair of the old plate was my absolute favorite to think it was forgotten for so long but now a thing of beauty xxx
I love this program.Iam a history but too.all those relics.it makes me think how someone enjoyed them at one time
Some amazing finds..last one blew me away
What an amazing lark! So many great finds. I would say the plate that was restored Japanese style should go in the window. 🌟
I absolutely love the pixie head! I can’t wait to see him in silver!😀
What an amazing treasure hunt. So many beautiful pieces.
Beautiful finds as always xx
