Hi Diane, I learned from Pamela that they are silk cigarette cards (1900-1936). I saw in London's antique markets so much lovely ephemera but mostly not very cheap.

Also,I must ask about that map,it’s amazing,and what do all of those little cats with the numbers on them represent?

Oh, you found you way to my channel, how awesome ! Great to have you here. I think the 1591 pottery piece was my best find from this trip.

The London Cat Map, Londoners, along with the rest of the UK, love their cats.The designers of this tea towel have picked out some of their favourite quirky cats of London to illustrate and create the purr-fest plan (cat related stories, works of art and historical anecdotes).

Ok I sort of understand this tea towel now,but not completely,and that’s ok,as cats are the funny mystery,they always have been,they always will be. A simple meow can mean sooo much!

Last year,in 2023,I found an incredible vein of sherds. I found 4 tiny bits of those ,ah,I want to call them intaglios,but no. The little Bartmann seals,ahh what are they called?? Anyway,it was a very good day on the foreshore,north side.

I love the research afterwards. The Thames seems to be an endless treasure box. They have changed the rules to get the permits and it means that after next three years my mudlarking will find its end. No further permits for foreigners. I hope you are doing well and enjoy the autumn rains!

@@FindsByPirjo oh what a shame that you can’t continue. Are there many mudlarkers who use it? Are there any other locations you have been to? Let’s hope you are able to find somewhere else Pirjo. xx

@@marybarratt2649 PLO (Port of London Authority) gives the permit for 4000 mudlarkers and from now on only for one year. I still have my three year permit, I was lucky to prolong just on time before the new regulations. After that one year you have to apply a new one through a waiting list (waiting list is long 6000 people of more) so it means you will not get the next one in many years. I'm going to try on the Rhein foreshore and maybe Netherlands next year.

Hello Mary, I was so glad I had enough time to really walk through these markets and I had lovely chats with the vendors too. Next time I would love to visit a Sunday antique market in Wimbledon. What are you looking for when you are visiting the markets?

@@FindsByPirjo I like all sorts of things. Last week I got some lace, old ephemera, a hand warmer (metal box with holes in that you put live charcoals inside) Victorian I think, a vintage sewing basket, an old black baby doll from the forties, an old picture of an oriental girl, very sweet. I’m drawn to social history, I like objects that show how we used to live. I got an old flat iron too on a metal stand. I should video my hauls really but I’ve lost interest.

@@marybarratt2649 I know the video making is not my favourite thing either. But in case you find a day with lots of fun to make a video please show your finds! Have a lovely weekend!

Thank you. Autumn is the time to cool down and that's the time I enjoy the woods and crafting. Have a great week!

I have had the opportunity to visit Nicola's studio and also ones mudlarker with her. Because of her (her RUclips video) I started the mudlarking in the first place.Thank you for watching!

Thank you! I did have lot of fun and only sunny weather (except one afternoon) and also visited Putney twice!

Thank you Kimberly! I have even used these found letterheads for stamping in my junk journals and they work well. Quality from the past. Have a lovely day!

Thank you Pamela! Autumn time brings me often to the woods, just came back with lots of boletus in my bag. I found that suspender from an antique market here in Germany.

It was the first Halloween theme journal I have ever created. Thank you so much for watching and in case you are interested in to purchase it pls let me know as it is still available. Happy Crafting!

Thank you for the details about the silk pieces, I didn't know at all, also the vendor didn't know. Would love to see photos of yours!

@@FindsByPirjo Your so welcome! I’ll try to remember to show them in a video soon … put it on my to do list! ❤

I saw two foxes in London during my night larking. That's why I wanted to put a fox on this cover. Wishing you a wonderful week!

​@@FindsByPirjo lucky you! I love foxes. They are not treated well in my country😕

Thank you Sandra! Have a lovely week!

Thank you so much Brenda! Autumn colors are near my heart. Have a great crafty week !

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year and therefore autumn journals are near my heart. Thank you!

Thank you Gail!

Thank you so much Carol! It's always a pleasure to have you here visiting. Enjoy the day!

Thank you for your lovely words, it means a world to me. Both kits inspired me and that makes good results. Thank you again for creating these wonderful papers!

Thank you Melinda! Happy Autumn days to you!

I was very pleased with my finds. Now back to journals, next video uploaded today. Have a lovely day!

Thank you Cornelia! We don't have that kind of cigarette-cards here in Germany so I'm always looking for those when in London. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Brenda, it is always so exiting to visit foreign markets and find items you can't find around your home. Have a wonderful autumn weekend, I'm just getting ready with my autumn style journal this weekend.

Thank you so much. Have a wonderful dump weekend!

Thank you Carol. I do like London quite a bit. Have a great weekend my friend!

Thank you Anneli! Have a wonderful crafty weekend!

Weiter untersuchen und Teil von Scherben mit Dremel bearbeiten (Knöpfe machen, Anhänger). Metall Stücke Deko für Terrasse und für Journal covers. Teil liegt in Vitrine und ist einfach schön.

@@FindsByPirjo ja der Winter wird wieder lang!!! Hab viel Freude!!! Sind tolle Schätze!!!

Hallo Hans, ich hab es noch nicht bis Rhein geschafft. Hier laufe ich neben die Felder und ab und zu finde einen Knopf oder Scherbe (nur mit Augen). Ich würde ja gern Metal Detektor probieren aber es ist ja nicht so einfach hierzulande einen Kurs zu bekommen. Grüße aus Steinau an der Straße!

Dear Brenda, thank you for stopping by to my other hobby. Have a wonderful day!

Hello Pamela, I'm going to make a pendant out of the dog piece. I got a Dremel last Christmas and love to use it. Thank you for your lovely comment. Hugs!

Hi Pam, Mudlarking is partly like beach combing, only that you do need good wellies on the foreshore. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for stopping by Gail.

Thank you Suzanne. I do enjoy traveling and I try to go with open eyes through the adventures that are waiting for me.

Thank you for stopping by Ian&Louise! I have the channel mostly to show my junk journals, but now and then I do other videos too. Lovely to have you here!

To collect those pins on the foreshore is so relaxing. It took me quite sometime before I found the first one, but then you see them all.

It's funny, but I always seem to find a German piece from my first lark in London, as this time this Bellarmine piece.

Thank you Angel!

Hi Pam, London had only sunny days for me. I will make a video about some mudlarking finds and antique market finds soon. The journal is very special as Penelope is one of my long time RUclips friends like you Pam.

Your beautiful journal is a very special joy for me. I will start with the plant plans for next spring and follow the summer time as it comes. Thank you for being there Pene!

Your most welcome, enjoy!​@@FindsByPirjo

Hello Brenda, thank you for stopping by. As said in the video this will be my next years garden journal. Enjoy the month of October! Hugs

Thank you Anneli! Have a lovely autumn day my friend!

@@FindsByPirjo Thank you, i took my sketchbook, and Nico, and sat by the river painting today.😄🫶🏻👍🏻

Sorry for late reply but I was in London for 10 days and didn't find the time to check. Yes, this was my very first Halloween style journal, it was fun to make. Have a good days to come! We are getting the autumn weather here.

Thank you so much for your lovely words Pamela! I'm just packing my luggage and will fly tomorrow to London for 10 days, no crafting only mudlarking on the Thames foreshore.

Thank you. Yes indeed the temperature is down quite a lot (11 degrees Celsius in the afternoon).

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much!

P.S love the card from your stash with the raven and the cat! The look on the cats face! 😂

The Tower of London is only about 5 minutes from my hotel so visiting is no problem. I love those black big birds and cats. Halloween is not my thing but it was fun to try to work with b/w this time.

I think it is adorable too.

Hello Christa! I can't read the old German writing either and there are not many here who can. The picture in my bathroom is from our home in Finland when I was young. I always loved to look at it and was happy to get it with me to Germany. I think my parents bought it from Paris during their honeymoon trip long time ago. I'm looking forward to meet the Ravens and visit the Tower. No crafting for ten days from 13th.

Vielen lieben Dank!
