- This week we returned to Mudlark along the Thames foreshore. We have not visited for over 9 months but this week we go back to the glorious mud of the Thames! It did not disappoint as we both found something unexpected and amazing! Come with us as we wander the banks of the foreshore looking for treasure and crafting materials and at the end I (Fleur) craft with some of the very things we found :)

I agree with others that the layered glass
Seems to be old mica . Perhaps it was a
Very early craftman's attempt to create glass type containers or windows with
Mica bits connected like stained glass
windows . Also seems to me that the
Sepia like shades of the glass layers might
be caused by deliberate fire craftworking or
by there having been an accidental fire
damage to the piece . Just so it is quite
beautiful and unique . It would make a lovely pin or pendant piece . Thanks for
sharing this interesting Mudlark , Ladies .

Carpe Diem !
I think you are correct lots of people have said the same. Thank you for helping us solve the mystery :)
There are honestly not enough words to express how much happiness you bring to my heart when I hear how happy, excited, and how grateful you are when you find things! The world can be a negative place sometimes and when it all get to much for me I go to your channel!!! Thank you!!!!
Wendy, I agree with you whole heartily, Kate is just so infectious, I love the way her and Mom get so excited, They certainly always put a smile on my face after a long day ❤️🇨🇦
Nicely said Wendy!🥀
I agree, the joy they have in small finds and the joy I have in watching them - people laugh at me for beachcombing but it really does make my week. x
Ahh thank you so so much for your lovely comment! It really does mean so much xx
Its lovely to see how little things give you enjoyment whennothersvdont appreciate anything keep your kind heart and soul your wonderful
You know what i loved the most in this video? The relationship between your mum and daughter. BEAUTIFUL
😊 thank you
Kate, on the round up you looked like a heroine from a Jane Austin novel with your hair up and the style of top/dress you had on. Great finds from the Thames and I love the tea light you made Fleur.
I thought the same...just so lovely
We both love Jane Austen so that is a great compliment :)
I also had this thought. Lovely!
Oh please don’t apologize for getting excited. We as viewers felt the excitement of the find. It lets us know your real and not just doing all this for views. We can tell when someone is being genuine and YOU are. Thank you!
Thank you that is so kind, that means a lot to us :)
I cried when you found the rose farthing, Fleur! Great job!😀
Ahh thank you :)
Amber and ancient glass. What a perfect day.
I love all the finds, history, Thames etc, but I have to say I was very happy to watch the lovely girl with her hair up at the end. Those lovely dark eyes! Whooo!
Kate you look stunning dressed like that with your hair done up like that. Congratulations on your beautiful tea light holder Fleur and your bucket list finds each one is awesome. Please don’t hold back on your excitement it gets me excited along with you, never hold back joyfullness expressions we need some joy in the world. Thank you for sharing and stay safe and well 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
Thank you so much for that. Our excitement has been a little criticised in the past but in all honesty sometimes we just can not help it. It bubbles out uncontrolled haha :)
I think I was as excited on the train trip in as you were! What a marvelous trip to the Thames -- you were well rewarded for your time away. A ROSE FARTHING AND A VENETIAN TRADE BEAD -- I admit to squealing with glee over both of them. So nice to see you back on the Foreshore and can hardly wait for you to visit there again!
We have missed the Thames so much! We are thinking about going to stay for a couple of nights so we can mudlark over and over again haha :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I would agree! All the better to visit more of the River! What fun.
This candle holder with the iridescent glass is absolutely perfect. It looks like something out of a fairy house. Enchanting! Something about it draws you in by its beauty. I like the coin and the bald but artwork is the icon on the cake! Stay safe! ❤
Icing not icon darn automatic spell check.
Thank you I am so happy you like the tea light. I had been meaning to make it for so long haha :)
:) :) :)
Now my week is complete !! Haven’t even watched it, yet I know it’s going to be fantastic....thanks ladies. 🌼🥰
Well said, I agree.
Hope you enjoyed it! :)
Yes. I can watch them for hours -ummm I have!
wow what fantastic finds,
and such a marvellous episode, I'm no expert but can I just say that your filmography is such a pleasure, the colours, framing , narration and editing are natural and uncontrived.
this style obviously stems from the simple loving family you are, and it warms my heart to see it, what a pure breath of fresh air you are :)
Oh my goodness those are all lovely things to say! It means so much to us, thank you :)
Wow Wow Wow what a day for you two . Your piece of layered glass reminds me of mica which was used in windows or lampshades,etc.
A few people have said the same about it being Mica so we are leaning towards that as an answer :)
Kate must be the best and most priceless treasure on the Thames banks 😍😍🤩
Well done on finding the rose farthing and beautiful bead. You both looked right at home on the foreshore. Xxxx
Thank you we have missed it very much :)
Wonderful just wonderful, thank you. Love and Light 😊
Another lovely smile inducing video! Well done on finding the Rose farthing and the trade bead! Always makes me feel uneasy about trade beads but as Kate says, we need to remember those parts of history. Hope you both are happy and well and I love the tealight!
Thank you! 😊
Awesome bucket list finds and the glass pieces are beautiful explosions of colour . Glad you are back on the Thames . Enjoy.
Thank you! It was so lovely to be back!
Wonderful objects but even better is the relationship between you two. Its obvious you're much more than mother and daughter but also best friends who.have discovered a common hobby you both enjoy. Cherish that above anything you find.
So glad I stayed to watch the craft. Thanks! Great video!
The trade bead was amazing! Good day all round!😀
I always get so excited when you find something.Such a pretty candle holder
Thank you :)
Nice finds this week...just live the glass...good idea for craft.....
Well worth the extra day's wait for this wonderful video. Thank you ladies.
Beautiful glass and craft fLeur 🐱🐱👍
Wow, some great finds. What I love about your videos are the history lessons. I have learned so much since I watched the films. The candle holder looks like a beautiful water lily.
Thank you so much Beate, we love the history too. We hope you are well :)
Hello Kit and Caboodlers , I was signposted to watch you by the Northern Mudlarks and Mudpies and this is the first of your videos I have watched. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back for more!!
Welcome! We really hope you enjoy our videos :)
Lovely rose farthing. Nice condition. Great find.
Hello from Northern California what an exciting video I enjoy watching to see what wonderful finds you discover and the history behind them and your creativity. Can not wait for your next video
Thank you very much! :)
You both look so beautiful and happy to be on the Thames again! Your finds where superb! I was so happy that Fleur, found a hammy! She looked so lovely, happily proud! You both had some amazing finds! I love to watch your Thames films but I really enjoy your Films from your local areas! Thank you for sharing this amazing opportunity, you have given the people like me, who will probably never see the Thames with my own two eyes. You really don't realise what an amazing gift you have given me. I would love to be able to go there one day. It is a fascinating historic place!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! We are hoping to make some films about the Thames and London in more depth. With more history and a look at some of the amazing places there are in the near future :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers sounds amazing and I can't wait! I really love the culture and the people seem so nice and down to earth.
Fascinating treasures .... The bead! The coin! The pottery and glass! Loved this video and the tea light was brilliant! Thank you.
History is our future, and what we gather from the present guides us on a better to a better path for life! and understanding!
Beautiful :)
Love the opening birds ❤️
You two have gotten so professional in your videos. Your round up conversations look like you have been doing them forever! So personable and well done. Donna/Indiana, USA
Ahh thank you! :)
BTW VERY WELL DONE and CONGRATS Fleur on your Rose Farthing find!
Thank you!! 😁
You girls are so great! This is the second time I watched this video and I am just as excited for you about the bead and the coin as I was the first time. I read, crochet, flower garden a bit, feed my wild birds as well as try to keep house, laundry and meals up. BUT I look so forward to watching your videos as well as Northern Mudlarkers videos. It just isn't a really good week without my Mudlarkers! Stay safe! Covid is gearing back up! ❤❤
Thank you for another great episode!
Imagine who held that coin,that’s just amazing wow.congratulations
I know it is crazy!
Thank you girls enjoyed very much the candel holder was just lovely
I love the tea lights! Great video too!
You were on one of my favourite stretches of foreshore 🙂
Glad that you found so many beautiful finds -that bead is STUNNING!
We love that part too! :)
Amazing finds. The tiny thing you said looked electrical is a hypodermic needle. I find a lot of those in my local 1930-1940s dump, here in Canada. The mystery item like a micro Fanta bottle might be a bit of tropical coral, common in ship's ballast. The pipes appear to be 1700s and 1600s.
Yes we disposed of the syringe safely, coral has been mentioned about the tiny fanta bottle :)
Great finds, love when you are on the Thames, would be a dream place to lark!!! Congrats on all the amazing history found!
Hope you get there one day, it is amazing! :)
Congrats on your bucket list finds what a wonderful day you had and the tea light turned out beautiful.Thanks Ladies.
Thanks so much :)
Your craft light is stunning! What a wonderful vlog you both produced this week. Thoroughly delighted wth it!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful finds.I really do love your relationship n how excited you both get with each others finds.
That beach you've aptly named Treasure Beach just keeps on giving. I love the gems and the roman pot remnant. Nice one ladies xx
Theses ladies are the cutest ever . I adore them. I would love for them to find me in the mud !!!!
Wow, what wonderful finds!! Congrats to both of you. You mentioned the ruckus you caused on the foreshore when you found your coin. Imagine the din from all 10,000 of your subscribers as we squealed along with you. I had to laugh thinking about 10,000 people trying to huddle around to see what you found. It's a good thing it's virtual! The candle holder is beautiful Fleur. :-D
Hahaha I have that image in my head now too! :)
Love it. So much enthusiasm. What a lovely and interesting family you all are. Thank you.
The object you found with the small bumps on could be a broken fossil sea urchin spine
Yes i also think so..
I wondered - I have seen something similar in rock but it is so thick - amazing!
That would be amazing! :)
Oh good! Another video. No early night for me… I love the pin finds too. I wonder who used them to pin their clothes, what their lives were like, how their pins ended up in the Thames… they got blunt? Fell out? The millefiore bead is gorgeous. I have a whole string that my Great Uncle brought my Grandmother back from his travels in Europe after WW1. They are mostly dark blue glass with red and yellow. I treasure them.
The farthing - you wonder how folk stored them. You could easily lose that. And they obviously did.
We love the pins, something so simple but with so much personal history. How they ever kept hold of a farthing I have no idea they are so tiny :)
Ooh, hello you two! Right, I'm off to grab a coffee and watch the excitement!
Hope you enjoyed it :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I loved it! The bucket list finds were absolutely breathtaking! I was so happy for you both :)
What beautiful finds. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day Fleur and Kate.
Hi..what a fantastic history lessons. Why don't this go on TV.. it makes very good education for all who loves this. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos..stay safe Stay alive. From are Steven. From South Elmsall/pontefract. ❤🖤🤍
thank you both for a wonderful and lovely video! i treasure every second of your videos because they are crafted with so much love, and we all need that! congratulations on your rare finds!
I think there have been a couple of mudlarking related programs in the past :)
I literally got goosebumps when the hammered coin was found. Amazing finds!
I could hardly believe myself haha :)
Always good to see a new vid-- then POW!!! Crazy-cool glass-light-art! Thanks for the Thames and the glow ; )
You are more than welcome :)
My Dad had an old letterpress printing press when I was a kid. He did letterhead and party invites for extra cash. He still has the press, and trays of letters.
I imagine they are lovely :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers they are beautiful. I don't keep in touch with my Dad now, but know he didn't want to sell it, so guess he still has it. Its a big machine! Xx
Real traesures today. Wow👍

Mudlarking has definitely made me appreciate the simpler things for sure :)
Lovely tea light holder.
I really look forward to your videos there is so much history everywhere on the Thames.
Such a wonderful hammered coin, Fleur. In such great condition, too. The excitement of finding one. Remarkable bead, Kate. The design and color are beautiful the Thousand Flower bead gorgeous despite the awful history it carries. So agreed that we must remember. I must edit and add that your tea light is so pretty.
Thank you so so much :)
Your excitement is so fun to watch. So happy you both found bucket list items.
One of the pipebowls looks like the Egyptian queen Nefertete!
Awesome finds, lovely moments, beautiful craft, and the video's quality is even better than before... Wow!
Thank you so much :)
Oh what a great lark. Ao many exciting things. It must be sohard to drag yourself away. This was one of thames that was very interesting. Thank you for taking us with you. It was marvelus.
Great job ladies I jumped for joy for you both. Loved the video made my day. 🇺🇸
What a delightful pair.
My favorites were the same as the both of you, beautiful finds. I would not be embarrassed at showing joy over the farthing, happy is a good thing. Happy to see your back at the Thames, I like that area, happy hunting there. Loved the little tea light craft Fleur, nice to see there are things to be made from the finds.
Thank you that means a lot! :)
Congrats on the coin . I found a lovely bead today but not as epic as that one. stay safe...V...
Congrats on a bead find! I have yet to find one :-)
@@nadinetasmania Hope you find one soon good luck..V...
All beads are epic haha :)
I hope you find one soon :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers This one was only a bit epic. he he..
I work with kids and we talk about how we process/compute differently. 24 is one less than 25, 8 25s is 200 - 8 = 192. Thanks for letting me geek, it happens rarely.
We are totally rubbish at maths haha :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers You are not Rubbish at computing! 🤣 You are a learner!
I love your refurbishing of the dollhouse this is this is your best video ever 💜💜

Thank you for taking me to the water. It’s so peaceful! I’d love to buy one of your pendants .
brilliant video, great finds. I love your craft project. You are a lovely mum and daughter team, I'm in awe xx yeah!!! xx
Perfect finds for you ladies. Rose Farthing is priceless. The Venetian Trade Bead, at first I thought it was a glass bead shaped like a fish. When you held it a certain way, I saw a fish with opened mouth, and two eyes. Can’t wait for your return trip to this magical shore.
I think a few people also saw a fish :)
Such excitement a rose farthing amazing loved this lark from Cape Town South Africa
Yay!!!! So happy you both got bucket list items. I got so excited with both of them. Thank you for sharing the history on the items you find. This Oklahoma girl is learning so much from your videos.
Thank you so much :)
I swear the bead looks like a fish, 2 eyes and open mouth. Great finds
Fish head on both ends. Wow.

Another wonderful adventure. I loved all the finds and was covetting the beautiful glass candle. The places your hearts and minds take you is so enjoyable for so so many. Smiling in Oklahoma, Barb
Great finds. Love the hammered. 😍

The hawk-eyed Goddesses do it again. Some incredible finds. The Farthing and trade bead have to be my favourites. The tea light holder looked amazing.
Ahh thank you! We like the expression Hawk-eyed Goddesses haha :)
