🧦Don't forget to watch the time Tim had to eat my sock! ruclips.net/video/THUUabgUX1E/видео.htmlsi=p95LFg2dTg5GcI1m 🧦🤮
Some great finds for you both 👍 for some reason I can only comment in replies? Don’t know why but tell Tim he doesn’t have a haggard face, in fact is a very nice face. Well done both of you. 👍
@@cocojo242 that’s a bit strange. At least you can comment here. It’s just banter between me and Tim all good fun 🤩
@@cocojo242 Oh, that would be YT. They are doing it to me, too, on several channels. I'm not even sure you will see THIS comment. They did it to one post this morning where I said, thank you, you take me places I'll never get to see. Gone.
Did the Blue Bottle Stopper fit into the Blue Bottle you found?
@@Objective-Observer sadly not
This was brilliant. The dig, the banter, Nicola’s French & her translation, the fun! I loved the sugar crusher and nut pipe with the branch & leaf - that was beautiful. It is obvious this video took time to edit & create. It is a gem! Thank you Simon!
Aw thanks so much! It certainly did! Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Hello Nicola , Simon. Preservative also means something like protection
Good to see a chap able to sew a fine seam - most people your age don't seem to know how to, so well done keeping the old crafts alive, Si. (Very handy skill when you have to darn holes in your socks, too!) I've made a few of these old Victorian dolls, for a gift shop I used to make crafty things for. Actually, I just made the head, hands and feet from Fimo - i painted the face and hair and varnished to look like old porcelain. The shopkeeper would sell these doll bits as part of a doll making kit, and alongside my sculpted doll pieces, would sell a calico body cut out and ready to sew. But to stop the doll looking too stiff, also part of the kit was a small bag of sawdust or sometimes dried lentils, to stuff the calico body with - that's what they used in Victorian times. You would sew the kit up, stitching the small holes around the neck of the doll, and also the holes on the top of the hands and feet, stitch up the calico body, then pour in the sawdust or lentils through a small opening in the side. It made the doll quite bendy and able to sit up on her own - then the doll maker had all the fun of sewing up a dress for the dolly to wear over her calico body. Your doll has lots of charm and character - but maybe try sawdust or lentils as stuffing, and a simple body made of calico next time. As for a name, why not call her an old Victorian name not much in use anymore - a girl's version of your name, Si - how about Sibella?!
Great stuff Polly!👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Si - have you come across Below the Plains - Tom Askjem and Jake Carriveau. Blokes with a yen for digging up stuff in America. Always amazes me how the stuff we humans produce survive underground!
Your creativity never fails to amaze me. Now add doll maker to your resume. Daisy was jealous of her!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Oddly, the Oxford dictionary is the one that says the French word "preservatif" means condom. Other dictionaries give the actual contemporary use of the word: Preservative. Concentrated lemon juice can preserve food.
Interesting thank you!
@@SifindsPreservatif is an old fashioned word for prophylactic. Prophylactic can be a word for condom but was meant in this case as preventative. As in against disease. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you for them.
Duh 😂
It's interesting because the Russian word for condom is презерватив and is pronounced as preservative
@@DANDIIDAY1111that’s because they have taken this word from French. Заимствованное слово.
You never fail to amaze me with your upcycles! The doll was absolutely beautiful! Watching you sew and mold the pieces was awe inspiring! Thank you for a great video!💖💖💖
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Love how Tim casually wipes a muddy object with an even muddier glove while flipping the bird. 😂 Nice finds Si and Tim. Thanks Nic for elevating the content with your lovely French.
OMG, I am so impressed with your doll making skills. I would have never guessed! Well done you!
Sew was I lol. Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Wow Simon, didn't know you were doll maker, how cool, you are a man of many talents.
@@hildahilpert5018 cheers Hilda👍🏻🐾🧡
“We’re gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we’ll take it higher.”
Eddy Grant 1982
Always #1 ❤
I thought of that too!
"Lug" now that's a new word I've never heard before in this context. Hmmmm. You have many talents but as far as a doll dress designer, Don't quit your day job. I love it all. thanks Si.
lol, did I say that? haha
@@Sifinds Really ? I think Simon's quite talented - I love seeing how all his finds come to life 😮.
I'm pretty sure Daisy called her "Meowllory"...
haha Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
The white bottle with the roses, so pretty. I'd buy it! The orange bottle, I guessing it has hair oil in it. Sweet little doll!
Cheers Chris, yes that or some kind of paint
I've never seen a cobalt blue stopper! Awesome find.
Was gorgeous!
Yeah a bit special that!
I'm the same first one I've seen and I've dug many up.. so cook si
Loved the French speaking by Nic. So lovely. I took French in high school back in the mid 1980s. Made better grades in it than my English class...lol
I'm American. 🇺🇸
Love seeing the cats. Always a great addition to your videos.
So glad you're giving that little doll a second life. She looks like a Penelope to me. 😉
Merci Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
That's a bit of folk art on that doll. Very unique procedure. Love the first green bottle found and the fancy ink
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great episode.. the Victorian dumps are always a good time! Love the sugar crusher and the odd shaped French bottle of essence of lemons. Your doll making skills are brilliant. I love when you up cycle finds. Cheers! ❤️👋🏼🇨🇦
LOL. Nicola did a great job on avoiding the French verb préserver😂👍
All of these years that I thought electric avenue was just a song by Eddie Grant
I am a part time philosopher, and a full time joker. I guess that electric avenue was one of the first streets where you could buy drugs at night without a lantern
First street that was a psychedelic light district
Avenue, I mean to say
Make the head a display platform and don't wreck its abstract qualities
In my town growing up in Canada, we had a Boots Drugstore. Same logo etc. I’ve never seen another. It was only in Canada from 1978-1989 . We also had Reeves paints my whole childhood. It was on the standard school supply lists.
For Nicola: Could what is translated as "condom" actually be "prophylatic", which means intended to prevent disease?
Ah interesting thanks!
I testing thought.Thete are some words that don't translate well.My dad was German.Sometimes he,d say some German saying or whatever and I would ask what he meant.He would explain it,, and would say that some words don't translate very well, they dont always have an English equivalent.
@@hildahilpert5018 exactly 😃
The bottle at 12:00 could be a red pigment for painting maybe?
Good shout!
possibly a colored leather polish
Kit & Caboodlers would be envious of your dollmaking skills. 😁😉 I was certainly impressed. 😍 Also, Craig Lind, of Scottish Mudlarking, would LOVE that 1 oz. Bovril you found. He's been searching for one forever. 😯 Loved seeing Daisy & Nelson, as always. 😽Great video, Simon. See you next time. 😊🤗👌👍👋
Great dig lads !
I think the upcycled doll should be called 'Milli-Piper' lol
I think she is a French mademoiselle called "Pipette" loved tagging along in the mud from my sofa 😉 x
Nice Simon!!!!Cette Terre est tellement riche en trouvailles d'un autre temps;Merci for le partage✍👀👍
Merci à toi 👍
What a neat and pretty doll you have made - i like the Laura Ashley dress - pure vintage. Yes, Simon, me old mukker, we call it a water table. And also yes, it has been raining nearly non-stop this May and now June here. Roll on summer ☀️. Will be happy to have the sun without humidity this year. Lovely to see those finds unearthed. I reckon that is powdered iron, or brick dust inside your 'un-opened bottle. No, im not your old mukker ! Aren't those Reeves paints beautiful ?
If you like the laura Ashley designs just do what I do,I go to my local stores and pretend I can't decide on a design for my home, so I get a selection of decent sized samples of wallpapers and fabrics, and I use them for crafting,I make little owls out of the fabrics and use the papers to make posh greeting cards etc.My local b&ms has a few nice ones in
Thanks Sian! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Happy Sunday Simon and Tim!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I think of all the adventures you and Nicola and friends take us on the Victorian dump excavations are the ones I enjoy the most❤
Thank you, Si❤
Cheers Martha👍🏻🐾🧡
Your upcycling giving the little doll a new life is just charming!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi there Si and Tim. What an unusual but lovely shaped bottle Tim found. That little white bottle seems to have clouds on it. I so enjoy listening to the history you dig up on the items you find. Oh, a cut little bird came to cheer you on. Hmmm, unusual colored bottle, flammable?, or poison? 😂Yes, blame it on the wells. The George or Edward pipe is really nicely detailed. Oh, the doll is so sweet.
Cheers Coni! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Cool finds lads, nice to see Tim again 🙂 Another great upcycle Si. Hi to Daisy and Nellie - and you too of course lol 🐾🐾
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Riding through the desert on a horse with no head 😂😅😂 Absolutely cracked up laughing when you sang that. Another awesome video, thank you.
If you had been a Victorian Father on Christmas morning, your little Daughter would have been over the moon to receive such a lovely doll. Perhaps she would have named her Rose for the blush in her cheeks. Hope you know you're awesome. XO
Great finds in the mud!! That green bottle was amazing!! Such a unique shape. The doll turned out sweet!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thoroughly enjoyed todays lark with Tim, and I'm impressed with your doll making skills. Thank you.
'Sew' was I lol. Cheers Mudlover!
I love your upcycaling. You have a wonderful imagination.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Love it when you and Tim are on a dig. Such a plethora of items dug up ❤🥰😍👌
That melted bottle face looks eerily like one Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.❤ USA loves you, Simon! Tim as well.❤
2:32 that add showing the double spouts gives a clue why the bottles shaped the way it is. so the 2 bottles could sit back to back in the packaging and possibly some kind of holder.
daisy; "i iz prettiah!"
I instantly thought of Hattie for your little lass. She is a doll! Are you a clever chap or not.
Cheers Linda 👍🏻🐾🧡
I thought of Laura for the name of the doll. I had a friend who moved to England from southern California, but unfortunately lost her life too young. This doll face reminds me of her.
When you read the old authors such as Verne and Twain and Dickens et al, you occasionally come across preventative medicine being called a preservative. In the same way they would call a shot of Rum a "Restorative".
Thanks for the great time digging in the Victorian dump. Always interesting and fun with you and Tim.
Hi Si. 26.40ish, lovely Blackcap Warbler singing! Great video M8, cheers, John.
You guys have way to much fun 😂😂😂 keep it up 👍🏻 You really found a lot of great things Si I am never really surprised. The doll worked out wonderfully. I am impressed by the way you put her together. Your creativity is always amazing. Have a wonderful week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Love the imagination and care you put into making the doll.
Gosh, guys! You will go through hell to get to the best finds and, it is worth it! Some wonderful bottle finds there! Can’t believe your still finding one only samples too!!! Who would have thought that from that wee dolls head you’d create that sweet little doll in all her quaint glory!? Dirt, mud and dolls! What a combination! As for the French to English translation, I thought it might be short for “condiment”! And after all that, what a lot of mud from the countryside must be lurking in your laundry rooms now! Lovely episode fellas! Thanks for taking us along🙂
The doll restoration was amazing Simon. 👏👏👏
Love the tiny bottles the most!! That place is a gold mine!!! Good photo bombs from the kitties.
Always love the upcycle segment of your films.. Great job on the doll😊
Great finds Tim is such a lovely man like it when you are both together
Your up'cycle doll is charming! And yes, I speak 'cat' and Daisy is quite put out you didn't fill the doll with catnip. 😻
I was thinking the original French might have said "prophylactic" (against thirst? exhaustion?), which as we know is the more clinical and older word for "condom". Great dig, marvelous finds! omgoodness, that doll! Very clever of you, and the feet/shoes are just so picture perfect. The hands really are too, but the shoes are just so charming.
I can't believe you found a whole sugar crusher. That was beautiful. As for the doll, I don't want to call meant.😂
Hahaha, guys and girls, preservatives - In French, as in German, (Konversierungsmittel) I might add, are additions to products, to give it a longer shelf life. it never fails to crack me up though, even after 30 years living in Britain, to read on products , that they don't contain preservatives, as it also is an old fashioned word in German for, indeed, condom.
I think that your doll should be called Sally. While you were making her, I kept thinking about the Tim Burton movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Sally was the character made by Doctor Finkelstein!
The newspaper clipping is from a Swiss newspaper, hence the French language and German drugstore names, plus the mention of Zurich in the upper right.
I love that you gave that broken doll a new life, she looks very sweet. I think her name should be Millie, since her hands and feet are made of Milliput. I guess most people won’t think that’s very original or clever though lol.
Thanks for the video Sia, some great finds between both of you. Always love the pipes the designs are incredible. The doll should be called Georgina!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧🇺🇦
Great video! I'd be gathering the nettles to dry and make nettle tea -- very healthy. Kudos to Bottle Digger Tim too; he knows his bottles.
Thinking of America’s song “Horse With No Name”, I could only think watching your cat, Daisy & Jane came to mind, as in Daisy Jane. Another great song by America. lol BTW - you sew a terrific seam!😀
Quite a plethora of finds! So much fun to see. It’s a good thing I wasn’t born in Victorian England, I would have starved to death! Potted tongue 😫
Those blue bottles are treasures. Lovely. I have a few that I found years ago.
I LOVE THE COBALT BLUE BOTTLE AND BOTTLE STOPPER!!!
The fitting would have likely been a wrapped and twisted wire, holding down a cork with an anchorpoint of some sort above, such as in a stamped metal cap, pressing down over the cork.
I love the Bovril bottles, all the different sizes. My favourites are the earthenware or ceramic pots and miniature bottles.
That doll ended up looking extremely uncomfortable😂, although I really enjoyed watching the making of it! Awesome video! Thanks!
I'm making some jam today, and I will use a few drops of lemon juice to condom it
I found a very clean good condition alley gobb on my fave field last week, and that was just after a little walk around, found some cool stuff! Haven't done it for about 4 years but was inspired to get back out after watching simon's video's and glad i did! I love alley gobbs i have lots of blue and white ones too.
I think the lemon juice ad is using 'preservatif' in the sense of protection/prophylactic against the heat, ie. refreshing when mixed with water.
That doll is hilarious 😂
I think Hillary suits her perfectly !!
Great video lads, bottle digging vids are always the best. A little biased as i'm a digger too lol Love the green bottle - never dug one. Nice of Nicola to join in the fun. For your reference Si, you referenced Horse with No Name sung by my favourite band America who were actually found in North London in 1970 and last played in the UK in 2019 @ London Palladium and as a Spurs fan i know you are you will please to know Glenn Hoddle attended seen singing his heart out along with his wife... anyway great video and keep making more digging ones 😄👏👏👏
awsome finds great up cycle as usual thanks great video
Thanks so much guys!!
So great to see you and Tim hunting for treasures again, loved the video ❤️👍🇺🇸
Great finds. Love the doll. I bet little Millicent would want her back. (I had to name the little girl)
Oh Si you have some amazing friends!👍🏻 Great finds yet again, thank you ☺️
Brilliant adventure as always... and great job on the dolly... love the cats ...
Si, you still sound clagged up, poor bugger. Take time to recover. Love your adveture with Tim today, Hi, Tim. Maybe name Dolly, Robyn, after the little bird im assuming was a Robin. She is very cute.
the doll is quite cute.. she has a Victorian geisha look about her.. my favorite find was the blue bottle - I'm wondering if the blue stopper fit in it? my next favorite was the partial pot at
18:09ish - I thought, that'd be cute with an led tea light sitting on it. thanks for taking us along with Tim and yourself! I luv the sound of French - thanks to Nicola for the translation and explanation!! having 3 sons(I believe I've mentioned that.. =) ?) along with the pleasure of the company of the 2 oldest sons' childhood friend, many conversations usually cause some sniggering, more often than not, if I'm totally honest! some perpetrated by this older "lady". thanks and cheers!!
Si you never cease to amaze me with your creativity!!!
I love this dig and all the others. Thank you Si. Cheers.
Maybe the term condom, if that's what it meant in the 1800s / early 1900s, implied it was protective and helped you on your travels if you were lacking 'whatever'. Not literally. State the obvious, but condoms protect from harm.
Nice idea Anthony👍🏻🐾🧡
What a wonderful intricate up cycle Si 👍
Great lark at the swampy dump, great finds Si, 👍
Cheers Dave! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Hi si just got into bottle digging myself and was wondering it you had any bottle cleaning tips ? Cleaning solutions and equipment etc ? Love the videos 👍🏻
YEAHHHHH! Another bottle dump episode! My favourite! Did you guys work out what that bright orange bottle with the glass stopper was used for??
Luvely Jubbly Beautiful Bottles! 🥰 Did the blue stopper fit that blue bottle? 💙 New life for an old doll~ she reminded me of my Aunt Rainy (Lorraine) 🙂 All hail the Craft King👑 Tim's King George pipe and green bottle~ excellent 👍Nicola loves the opportunity to speak French ⚜😊 Later, mudgator! 🐊😁🥰
Fantastic finds. Brilliant upcycle.
Awesome video with great finds and an up cycle. Thanks for sharing 👏🙏❤️
Lovely doll up cycle!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Wow! Fabulous fins today. Love your “Dolly”.. I think that’s her name.
A man who can sew! Love you Sci!
My Dad taught me to sew -he was born in 1898, and could turn his hand to most things through necessity. I still have his Singer sewing machine.
Awesome triangle 🔺️ bottle...wow what a cute doll adorable.
Really enjoyed watching the beautiful video
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ❤
Simon... Great dig... Did you see the mallet bottles found in the US this week? They were found in the cellar of George Washington's home, Mt. Vernon, during a remodel... They pulled up the flagstones in the cellar and found 16 bottles full of berries, 12 bottles full of cherries, and 1 bottle of mixed berries and cherries... All bottles from the mid 1700's!! They were amazing!!
@@michelleflippin1808 wow! I will check that out thanks Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Si, I see faces in things, too. Along the shore of Lake Michigan, USA, I see faces in rocks and pieces of drift wood! I have quite a growing collection!
That's a great face you found!!
It's a common gift some of us have haha. Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
@@Sifinds I agree! Not everyone has this gift!! Cheers!
@@Sifindsit's called pareidolia...
Fantastic vid. thank you Simon.
The first female figure you found would make a precious toilet roll lady cover! As always a joy to watch, a reminder of grannies old kitchen waste dump, that was used well before them, some crafting/ up cycling,a kitty spotting, many fragments and whole momentous of the past and the haunting wonder of who held them before their debut on you tube, and finally but not least a lot of mud from which awesomeness lays beneath, who could ask for more? Well me as I can’t wait for what your next adventure has in store!
Best wishes to you all from Camden Town x
Nice haul, you two are great fun to watch. Loved the doll, such talent you have Si, your recycles are amazing too ! Thank you for another entertaining video, love your channel ! Hugs 🥰🥰 xx
@@susanroller6905 cheers Susan! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I wonder if the lemon concentrate was more a guarantee for health and safety in terms of scurvy prevention since it named all those modes of travel and adventur.
what a great job you do of up cycling your finds. i love the doll. my dad use to cut old bottles and make glasses with them
Such an interesting video and your doll making is extraordinary ! Great job !
Cheers Elaine! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Good finds Si !! 👏
