In this weeks video I once again find a broken something really unusual and don`t know till I come home and Kate looks at it in the round up (I may need better glasses) There is also a mudlarking dolls house miniature craft, some doll restringing and a spot of Spring Cleaning. We also have a lot of thank yous to give!
Come with us and explore a local woods and small bottle dump :)

#CRAFTING #MUDLARKING
The bottle you put the Dettol cap on is embossed with St George, (no Dragon) and is a Meggeson bottle dated late 1930's to mid 1940's Lovely video as always.
Thank you so much for that you are correct :)
Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers and w d
I love your films, Fleur and Kate. I have made things all my life (66 yrs) but never had the pleasure of Mum or daughter bonding. My mum died when I was 10, and I never had a daughter to share the simple shared pleasures that your relationship brings you. I love to see it, genuinely it makes me happy. Joyful, even.
Thank you so much Stephe! I am very lucky that Kate shares my interests but I am very sorry to hear you lost your mother at such a young age x
Stephen G, we share the same age!
Your videos remind me that lovely places, and beautiful people still exist! The violets in the beginning , I could smell them! I was emotional seeing them as we had them in our yard as a child! Thank you!!
“I think it’s just a fractured jar” NOOOOOO don’t leave it behind that’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen...I’ll pay good money for it if you can find it again!!! So sad I can’t go and retrieve it. Also, if you enjoy getting creeped out a bit, you might try listening to your own voices at the slowest playback speed (I used it to get a good look at the jar.) It’s...indescribable, you to experience it.
I spied Wonky Bear in the cradle, whilst the spring cleaning was going on. Wonderful visiting the new dump--appears to have possibilities. The whistle find was a blast. 100 years since anyone blew it. Amazing treasure! Loved visiting Bitsy's house again, and seeing the new additions as they were added. Your videos, for me, are like the Secret Garden. I don't look for magic, but never fails. Stay safe and for goodness sakes, Kate when you swung under the tree limb, I was afraid you would fall into a leaf covered bottle digger hole. xx
Thankyou so much for the absolute humble beings you are. I can not say enough about your lovely selves . We have so much in common . Beads mushrooms ... crafts . Your a breath of fresh air. I have a painting for you of a meadow you visited . I'm in California but my heart is definitely with you every mudlarking adventure.As there simply is nothing of sorts remotely resembling the historic places you go. Thankyou for your history and I look forward everynight seeing you every night. ❤ your soul sister in the u.k.
Hello there ladies, my dad who was a wonderful cabinet maker. He made my sister a replica of Tara from Gone With the Wind, it had a lovely fireplace that he put scrunched up red cellophane with a small torch bulb it looked like a real fire. My grandchildren now have it. My eldest daughter when in her 50's did it up and found some wonderful furniture, the children now playing with it are my youngest daughter's children.
I love doll houses, I always have and always will. That is so nice that the dolls house is being passed down the generations :)
Watching you wash your finds in the kitchen sink is just so relaxing. I feel like I’m 12 again & watching my mom. Hugs
Kate your face when you blew the whistle was pure delight. You both are the most genuine ladies. Thank you for taking us on your mudlark with you.
Happy Spring !! 🥰🌼
😊 thank you
Thank you for putting the sharp ends of bottles etc into the soil. The other day I was cringing when watching another mudlarker’s video, as they left several broken bottles sticking up out of the mud in a river. I could just imagine someone or some creature standing on them! Several years ago I found a sharp knife poking blade up in the shallows of a local beach, probably dropped by a fisherman, and gave it to the nearby cafe to dispose of. Back in the shallows and only a little further along I found 3 pound notes - a reward from Neptune perhaps?!
I was walking in a river with my sister and someone put broken bottles straight up not a good day
We always try to put them face down.It makes me cringe to think otherwise! :)
your reaction to the whistle sound was really cute Kate
Lovely film, ladies, as always. Thank you for sharing your excitement, your creativity and your talents.
Another brilliant adventure. You really are such a splendid pair and the noble oscar of course. You make life considerably happier for many people around the world, quite an achievement.
Thank you so much Paddy, your support is everything :)
Such beauty and happiness you bring to our lives. I hope you know how much we all love watching you find your treasures and then turning them into even more wonderful treasures.
Totally agree
You are so kind thank you! :)
Such a lovely walk through the woods! Your finds were great, but it was the walk you took together that made the video for me. I used to take walks with my daughters ( who are now grown and mothers themselves) in a very wonderful park just down the street from our apartment. We always took note of the native plants and wildflowers, learning their Latin names and even harvesting wild onions and tubers from Spring Beauties to eat! We were very excited to spot black capped chickadees, opossums and even a fox once! That time spent together was very special. So glad you have the opportunity to do the same! By the way, that whistle was an exceptional find!
That sounds really lovely and a very special memory of your time with your daughters :)
What a special find. I can just imagine the mill children laughing and playing, and blowing their clay whistle. What a find. Xx
The sound brought the past to us for sure! :)
I could hear the lovely birds singing you find loads of things thanks for another great video
Why can't the world be like this.
Totally agree
Wouldn’t it be great
Because its too busy being corrupt and greedy...and its so sad because these simple things make me so happy ...when i was a kid i loved to go out in the growed up weeds i called it and just find me a place and lay down and enjoy the birds and bugs and being at peace and one with nature and simplicity the music made me almost cry ...how good life could be .
@@tammywhalen3297 I hope it gets like that again.
If only....
I absolutely love your channel!! How you lovingly bring each item back to life. Your channel tugs at the viewers heart🧡💛. Thank you both and Oscar and Sonny🐱for opening your hearts💛🧡and taking us on a Lovely Mudlark.
Thank you so much Penny! :) x
I agree completely
A special thank you for entertaining me the past 12 us months.you are such wonderful lovely talented people.you treat the world and everything in it with such respect.
Dont ever change or get to big for your wellies.x
Ah thank you :) x
I love the little doll in the tub. Wonderful crafting workbench. Beautiful gifts from your viewers. What a lovely world you live in. There is so much wonder in nature and it's nice to see folage starting to bloom. Cupie dolls are so endearing. Goodnight 😴💤💤
Thank you so much 🤗
Perfect little purple violets! Always placed on top of little May Day cups!
Love the sound of the birds chirping welcoming to the dump! Very nice finds and crafting as always!
Wonderful finds and the glass covered garnets you made is precious. And please pick up all the glass bottle stoppers you find , sell them in your shop people like me that never finds anything would love to purchase them. I would put them in my perfume bottles they are so pretty. I've watched y'all grow , you are getting so wonderful and your trips are exciting plus your camera shots are just beautiful. Keep it up I enjoy watching your videos very much . Stay safe and healthy ; ) Oh I am st forgot I'm in love be with your kitchen, the farmhouse sink and butcher block counter top are gorgeous! ❤️
I don't think I'd ever get to a point where I didn't pick up bottle stoppers 😀
Totally agree
Thank you! We have recently redecorated our kitchen :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers it is gorgeous you did a wonderful job. I'm envious.
How lovely all the spring flowers are looking already.That new dump has given you some nice treasures,but it’s hard to get to them.I hope you find a good one that’s more accessible later this year Loved the whistle,really cool,but I remember as a child we got plastic whistles with chickens one other animals on them in crackers and shops too.I guess they were made along the lines of those .Children always love whistles and anything else that makes a racket lol..Love &Light 🥰
Whistles seem to have always been popular :)
Blessings of the ages to you! What a lovely film (again!) 😍😻
Hey, we was repairing dolls when I was younger and we did use rubberbands, then you can get arms and legs as tight as you like. It is more difficault with wire. Love your videos.
Greetings from Norway at a rainy day.
What an amazing video, I remember picking Violets and primroses in the hedgerows and taking them proudly back for my mum. The finds you found are beautiful LOVE the whistle and hearing it’s sound from 100 years ago and the bottles are stunning as well as the toys and crafting. God bless and stay safe and well and have a great but careful return to normal life and being able to finally get out of the house 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🌻🌻🌻🌻
Thank you so much! We were very excited about the sound of the whistle :)
Absolutely love the signs of spring in England.
Spring is always a welcome sight especially after the winter we have been through :)
I’m so glad you still have wild places to explore! Lovely episode as always.
Absolutely love the music. So relaxing and peaceful. You two are just beautiful. Love all of your videos.
Thank you so much! :)
The knight makes me think of King Arthur flour. ☺️love the specimens under the bell jars for the Dollhouse!
because you both craft with broken pieces you were rewarded with a whistle
no-one else would have bothered to pick up something broken. what a treat
Thank you! We pick up lots of broken things to rebuild :)
Kate you are so adorable. Loved watching you blow that little whistle. LOL...🙂
I remember the little shaped bottles in the children’s toy shops full of little coloured sweets
I thought it was just me that turned the broken glass down towards the earth for safety. So glad I'm not alone in my thinking.🙂❤️
I love Fluer's nail polish/ varnish, it is a very pretty color! You both always have different colors and always take care of your nails!
Thank you! We have to look after our hands because of the time we put them through. Lots of hand cream :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I know all to well about hand creams and lotions, they are a must and it kinda tells your hands your sorry for putting them through nails hell!!😂 I worked for our local humane
society and I was a vet tech so I had to was my hands constantly! I started volunteering at 18 years old and then they hired me shortly after. I had also worked for a veternarian and it was pretty much the same. I constantly washed my hands between each animal I had contact with not to mention the hundreds of dishes because we had mostly dogs and cats but we also had horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits and goats dishes with bleach and sterilizing cleaners. I also put my hands through the
ringer and they still look decent, well I made sure I put vaseline on them every night before bed, cuz My skin was that dry! Both of you have healthy looking hands tho, so whatever you are using is working just fine!
Loved the video. The little sheer top bottle would look good with a Victorian cut out of flowers in the indented rectangle (For Fleur). I enjoyed looking at the stuff in the dollhouse and even on the work station. Right now most of my dolls are in boxes or drawers, since I have quite a few to fix. The worst part is when I get them fixed I want to keep them instead of selling them. I have been building up some broken doll parts, arms & legs & necks with Milliput to make my own "Dump Dolls", even though they didn't come from a dump, but an auction.
Wow that is amazing! We would love to see the finished Dump Doll! :)
This video made my day. It is wonderful and beautiful and interesting. I love everything about it.
Loved toys out of Cracker Jacks, but this v one is old
Love it!!!! You will find one, one day 🍀🍀🍀👍
Fingers crossed! :)
The bird song is sooo beautiful in the background!
I am really loving your channel and look forward to every post I can find to watch. I also make doll houses out of bits and pieces of things I find and just about anything I think would become something tiny and whimsical. My name is Holly, I'm from Missouri, so your accents I find so adorable!!! Keep up the amazing job of the tiny world your creating. It's amazing and I'm getting many ideas from your site! Can't wait for more ladies!!🥰
great finds ... you can use pearls in the bathtub to look like bath bubbles cindy :)
That is a cute idea :)
So enjoyable! Your crafting space looks very inspiring. Thank you so much for the lovely mention :) x
You are more than welcome your work is beautiful :) x
Love all the dainty little bottles, and glad you found a new place with possibilities for new finds. I love spring time, it's like a breath of fresh air, a rebirth. The gifts you received are amazing, so many talented people, and all with so much kindness. Loved your little projects, and repurposing, you have ideas in your head, and it always turns out great.
Thank you! 😊
Thanking for dumping out that button jar for your mini craft-great to see and hear the sounds of sorting through buttons, finding just the right one, and then putting them all back in the jar. A lovely video, all the way to the end.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Glad you were able to find some great items. So impressed over the projects you come up with!!.
Some lovely finds there. Your dolls house always makes me smile. It reminds me of the old “Bagpuss” shop where things that were lost and found were fixed up again by the toys. The little aqua shear top bottle is the same as one that I have in my kitchen, but sadly I bought mine. I often wonder what it contained though.
If you need any crafting materials by the way, please don’t hesitate to contact me as I have a little Etsy craft shop too and although I’m not in a position to donate money or join Patreon, I will happily donate some crafting materials to you. Thank you for another wonderful film and take care.
Thank you so much that is very very kind :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers you’re very welcome as your videos make me feel happier on tough days. If there’s anything I can help you with, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Loved ❤❤the video 😊.
When you mentioned turning glass upside down so nothing stepped on it; I thought wow, I'm not the only one to do that; That's awesome 👍☺ thank you for sharing, loved everything ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Safety first, well done.
Wonderful finds. Seeing your videos always make my day better. Thank you.
I love watching you two. Delightful
I love all of your miniatures. I have a doll house my Dad made for me and I still love collecting the little bitty things for it and my display shelf.
A joyful whistle! Congratulations on your tiny bottle finds! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Thank you! 🤗
The marble would be cute in your doll house garden on top of a small round piece of metal as a gazing ball.
I think the bottle had st George on it. a super video ..stay safe..V..
I think you are right. Quite a lot of companies have him as trademark strangely :)
Hi lovely ladies😀 you found some cute finds today. I don’t think I have ever seen an HP bottle that small. I love HP sauce, I put it on everything, so my husband tells me!😂😂 I loved that black marble. I used to find those opalescent ones in all colours in our garden when I was a kid growing up on the Isle of Wight. They would emerge from amongst the brambles when my Dad was digging. My friends used to try and swap them for regular cats eye ones. But to me they were more common than mine! That was in the sixties. Thank you for another great video😂😂😂
Yes we had never seen an hp sauce that small! I wonder how all those beautiful marbles ended up in your garden? :)
Where was Oscar? He should be climbing over trees for you, the rascal! I'm so glad someone else is being kind by turning broken shards downward to avoid the ouches! I think it is wonderful that you are bringing these dolls back to life. The whistle sound gave be chills. WOW. I love mudlarking and dump scavenging. I really wish I could find a old bottle dump here where I live. Cheers from North Carolina ladies. It was a lovely video with a lot of exciting things. Take care and glad you'll be able to get out again.
Oscar was having a rest on a tree haha! The whistle gave us chills tooo!! :)
Can you do a tour of your dollhouse with all your finds? It looks great!
We are hopefully doing the top room soon so we shall show a tour then :)
Your videos make me feel like I’m there with you, I sure would like that!
It makes us happy that you feel like you are with us! It makes it worthwhile :) x
What an idyllic new location on your doorstep and some truly luscious finds - love that gorgeous wee bottle, fit for a fairy fair. How utterly amazing to discover the pair of legs was actually a whistle - toot, toot. Such gorgeous and thoughtful gifts from friends far and wide. Such a heart warming and lifting ray of light to charm a delightful chuckle of glee. XxX
We were very excited about the whistle and the tiny bottles :)
My dog stared at the phone when you were blowing the whistle
Enjoy this video very much my sister and I have started a doll house and she is trying to use all her funds to furnish it you really have to be creative and she isWe consider y’all our relatives in London that we’ve never met but we love much love from Alabama Becky
Dolls house things can be very expensive! We are lucky we have been sent some lovely things for the house as well as finding and crafting things.It is so fun! :)
I love to watch you crafting so inspiring and yet relaxing at the same time xx
It would be nice to craft the dolls with some colourful bloons
I'd take some of the broken glass home to recycle ♻️
It is a bit dangerous to be carrying the broken glass around to be honest.
How amazing that the whistle still works!
That tiny bottle is amazing! I love little bottles.
Thank you so very much🫶😊
Beautiful video lovely area to find treasures well done all fantastic and enjoyable.
Thanks for another wonderful video.
Fabulous film, thank you. You should send those paste pots to the Mudpies. I hear they love them!
I`m not sure they do haha! :)
Delightfully magically wonderful once again thank you both for everything you do.
Fleur, I can relate to lockdown taking a toll on one's fitness! When we finally get back to having class visits, which start with a one hour walking tour outside, I am going to feel it! Our spring is a bit behind yours so I enjoyed the preview, good as medicine for the winter weary!
I am so unfit it is quite scary! Luckily Kate is young and can spring about going places I can`t haha :)
Great thinking Kate putting broken pieces upside down super
Thoughtful 😻😻👍🌷
You could glue some perls in the tub for bubbles
Great video guys 👍.. I like be mudlarking and searching ancient places for lost history. Brilliant
Forster was my mom's maiden name. Loved the little face & all the little bottles
You do take us to some beautiful places😊. Such precious finds, the miniature perfumes are beautiful and more crafts for us to feast our eyes on😁🧡💛🤎
Thank you so much Charlotte, we are lucky to live walking distance to such lovely countryside🤗
You really need to get one of those glass bottle cutters. They keep popping up on the internet for sale. You would be able to cut down some of those lovely damaged bottles. That HP bottle was definitely picnic sized. Some of your scenes almost looked like the Cottingham faeries photos ( or is it Cottington?) - so pretty.
We probably should invest, we just have so many other projects to do too haha :)
Your bottle findings in this video are just wonderful!!!
Thank you! We love little bottles, easier to display :)
Thank you, a really enjoyable video, so peaceful and so interesting all the sights and sounds. Great treasures and informative. Glad you will be out of lockdown soon. Take care ❤️🇦🇺xxx
So lovely to see (and hear!) the spring when it'll bw November after midnight tonight! Enjoyable vid as ever. X
Dear Fleur and Katie as always an awesome video,love all the little bottles and that marble and of course there’s inspector Sunny, great craft. Stay safe and healthy ❤️from Ontario Canada 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Nancy :)
great whistle find on a dump just keep people away from your pitch! lovely.
Thank you a whistle was a very unexpected find and to hear it work was amazing!
I love your sites and crafts so much. Your videos really are the best. 💟
Thank you so much Shanna that is a lovely thing to say :)
Such a beautiful video and lovely scenery with a robin singing in the background. You had some nice finds there, with the bottles and marble. It was so relaxing watching you crafting and repairing the little dolls. Thank you and have a great week.
Thank you Tony we find it relaxing making the crafts so we are really happy that it translate as relaxing for you as a viewer too :) x
At our local Flea market, I found several boxes of baby doll heads, arms, legs, bodies! They are bisque fired. I got a 7 1/2 inch head with painted eyes and teeth. Then found a baggie with a disjointed baby. All that was needed was it to be strung. The lady that made them died right after her husband. They were making replica porcelain dolls. I thought of you and bought the baby and one socket head. I will craft a soft body for the 7 1/2 inch head and make a diaper for the crying faced baby. Oh, the baby is only 3 inches long!
Yay new dolls from old, our favourites.We would love to see them complete :)
My dogs were quite interested in that sound from the past. How exciting! So happy that after losing your favorite dump, that you were able to find interesting finds at a different place. It almost seems this dump was trying to impress you to keep coming back. Thank you for taking us along. I wish my house was furnished as beautifully as Norma's!
Yes it seems lots of dogs were quite interested in the whistle haha :)
Wow ! Love that bottle with the knight.
So relaxing. And lots of love. Fantastic content 👌. And lovely sound's of the nice weather to come. Please stay safe 🙏. From pontefract Steven.
Thank you so much 🤗
Nice finds. I personally love the small bottles most of all.
We love the tiny ones too,easier to display :)
Forster jars and kilner jars were used for preserving, hmm interesting because mason jars is the dominant brand in the US. Makes you wonder.
The whistle is amazing, especially with it still working! And glad the dolls have such a lovely house to live in.
Thank you, we shall hopefully be making some new dolls house dolls soon :)
I have a tiny little doll ( baby ) like the one you were sent. It’s little legs were connected by wire. Given to me by my Grandmother Davis. It was hers when she was a child. I Love it ( girl doll ) !!
just love your videos and love the mother and daughter relationship. you had some lovely gifts but i especially liked the bird made from vintage ties....if Jodie would make a video of how she made it ....or sold the pattern I would love to try and make it
We will have to ask her :)
What a sweet springtime video. Love all of your finds and the doll house craft. The dollhouse is amazing. Thank you for sharing. Watching from Pennsylvania, USA. ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Браво!!!!!!
Thank you for another great video! I loved seeing Sunny cat. Sadly I had to put down my Beans kitty on Thursday. I loved seeing the dolls house again, it’s looking great.
Oh no I am so so sorry! I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet xx
You have some of the most interesting things. I really enjoy your channel 💕 keep doing what you do !
