You are so fortunate to be able to keep going with your digging all winter. Here l sit looking out at 2 ft of snow, have not seen bare earth for several months.
Hi Cynthia - yeah, that sounds tough. We don't get snow like that very often here. Actually, Sarah and I were just lamenting the poor show of snow this and last year. It's funny that people tend to want what they haven't got at the time! Hopefully the snow will melt soon and you can get out digging up your own absolute belters! Willie :)
OMG Sarah you are amazing. That came out fabulous. Your right that ink was as true today as it was over a hundred years ago. Thanks for sharing that with us. Perhaps making another with same ink but pulling in that lovely teal color of the bottle. Then return it to sender...lol
Thank you so much!! It as an absolute privilege to be able to use that ink after so many years. I'm so grateful to Tom for sending it to us :) I hope he likes the painting as much as you. I agree - the colour of the aqua glass is amazing. I would love to try and capture that too! Sarah x
Exceptional video today, such good quality content…productive tip dig, fun gift unboxing, and very unique ink artwork. Impressive finds Willie, my favorite is the cream pot. The “ash tray” spittoon is a brilliant piece, a respectable antique. Sweet to see you guys together, photobomb Jack so very curious! Amazed at the original ink used to immortalize its own bottle, very clever and well done. Good work Willie, Sarah, and Jack.
Thanks Greg - this video was a huge amount of work, I'll be honest. However, when we receive comment like yours, it makes all the hours worthwhile. And thrilled you like Sarah's artwork. It blew me away, not only in the quality of her work, but also using a medium that she's never even contemplated using before and making it that good! All the best - Willie, Sarah and Jack :)
Hi Andrea - thanks for commenting! The blue poison is stunning. Such a crazy invention too. And thanks - the cleaning part is probably my least favourite part of the whole process, but its important that I do it properly, so I do take my time. The pyramid ink is a special find too. Willie :)
Love the wee bottle! So tiny! The pyamid ink is lovely. The blue ink is the true belter. Sarah, that ink is so lustrus. I love your art! You have a very good eye!
I really love old enamel signs and I love tea! I'd be buzzing to find that. Could be mounted on a board and the missing sections painted onto the backboard. I'll add more as I watch through the video 😂 I also like the St Andrews bottle! Those mudpies gifts are definite belters and so is that ink drawing by Sarah at the end!
Thanks Richard. That's a really clever idea with the sign! I may see if Sarah would be up for doing that! Definitely very chuffed with the kind gifts from the Mudpies! And I agree - Sarah's ink painting is the perfect use for the ink. She did a tremendous job! Willie :)
Hi Jeanne - half of my family is from Edinburgh too. You never know, our relatives may have been drinking together in a saloon in the old town many centuries ago! Willie :)
Hey Will, I don’t remember anyone having done a video on the different types of glass and bottles (such as drippy-lippies, screw-tops, pressed glass, etc.). Care to do something like that for us? You could include other items you’d like to explain or that you find interesting. Stay well and enjoy your awesome finds! My favorites are the little printed cream pots and the coffee drink bottles. That wee little crock was adorable! 🥰
Hi Kellie - no I haven't done this yet. I keep meaning to do it, but then I find other items that I want to restore/film, write a new piece of music, or Sarah paints something that I want to feature in a video. So, I will get round to doing it in a future video, just not sure exactly when right now, but it will happen. You stay well too. Willie :)
This might be the best episode yet! I can't believe belters alley! What a haul! I loved the spitoon though. What a treat to picture the men who may have used it!
Thanks Linda - always encouraging to hear very positive feedback on the latest episode! I love the spittoon too. A bit gross, but fascinating as you say. I should imagine that some of these men went to fight in WW1. Willie
While I thought the rare U.S. poison bottle was stunning and unique, I think my favorite better is the spitoon because I have never seen anyone else find one! Also it was in almost perfect condition! Thanks for taking us with you, Willie! Hi Sarah and Jack Spaniels!
Wonderful gifts, I love that you build great friendships while sharing the love of hunting for small treasures of times gone by. You both bring such happiness to my Sundays when late at night, I turn off the lights and totally engage in your magnificent videos. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
Thanks Tom - Sarah's crazy good at art! We're both really pleased that you'll receive the original soon. It's on its way! Thanks for thinking of us to send the ink to. Willie :)
Hi, the US blue poison bottle's patent date is a few days after my Nanna was born 7th June 1895. Lovely finds and great video, no wonder you were worn out with all those absolute belters!! Sarah's ink drawing is a masterpiece. Thank you both and of course your sweet doggie xxxx
This is an absolute BELTER of a video, one of the best yet. Those gifts from the Mud Pies are beautiful and your ink drawing Sarah was awesome, thank you so very much for sharing all your finds, gifts and the painting 👍👍👏👏❤️❤️🥳
Wow .. oodles of really great finds on this adventure! I'm having a hard time picking a favorite. I think my top favorites are the printed cream pot, the spittoon and the blue poison. Thanks for taking us along. Greetings to Sarah and Jack Spaniels I was remissed in mentioning the lovely gifts from Josie and Andy, so I had to come back and say I think it's amazing the way the mudlarking community supports each other. Sarah your artwork is top notch!!
Sure have been lucky recently. I think it's to do with the shallow part of the tip being the oldest part - a fortuitous discovery! The middle part is too waterlogged to dig in the winter. Willie :)
Great video. I'm torn between the cream pot and the cool looking ink well. Oh and Sara's channel is such a joy to watch. She is amazingly talented. Those beautiful walks she goes on and all those awesome treasures you dig up, have me wanting to visit Scotland.
Thanks Anna - glad you could join us on another adventure! Sarah's painting skills never cease to amaze me! You should visit Scotland - it's a unique and stunning place. We both do realise how lucky we are to live here. Willie :)
Thank you Willie, you get us so engaged in your excitement with your belters. I just love it! Great finds, I pray one day you have plenty belters to a point where you will sell some of them. I like that you had exceptional bottles that we hadn't seen before. I do love the cream colored cream pots. I have purchased some lovely items from you and I just treasure them. Greetings from Arizona, USA. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
Hey Guadalupe - great to hear from you! Very happy that you're enjoying the videos so much! It's great fun to make them! I'm pretty sure that some of the best finds will make their way into our Etsy store eventually. Once I have two of each item, I will sell any more that I find. Thanks so much for making your purchases - I can't tell you how much that helps us make these videos! Greetings from (very rainy) Fife! Willie :)
A great dig. I can’t imagine actually holding a piece of Roman pottery. Amazing community of friends you have. I loved this video. Sarah your art is incredible. Thank you both.
Thanks - another fun adventure! And yeah - feels pretty epic to hold a piece of Roman! Can't imagine holding a whole item! Loving the community vibes - great to be a small part of it! Agreed on Sarah's work! A pleasure to share! Willie :)
Thanks Karla - Completely agree - Sarah's artwork is amazing! As are all of her works - such a talent! We're both big fans of Tom's channel - was so kind of him to send us the ink! A pleasure to share! Willie :)
Amazing finds, Willie! I was blown away by the gifts you opened. I love watching Josie and Andy playing in the mud, but I have not yet seen Tom’s channel. I will go check it out tomorrow. Really nice ink drawing, Sarah.
Wow wow wow I love Sarah's painting!!! So real looking with the old ink after all those years getting a new lease of live in the shape of a bottle never new you could paint with ink like that 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing finds, Willie! Since I'm from the US, it's nice to see the blue bottle from here😊. So great to see the mail from The Mudpies. They have a terrific channel too. Sarah, your ink bottle painting was FABULOUS!! Cheers to you both, and Jack as well🥂🥂❤❤
Thanks Darren. Some digs are even more tiring because I find nothing worth making a video from! They're the most tiring ones. :) That said, the dancing comes a close second to the digging most of the time! Willie :)
Amazing items you found. Love the spittoon and it cleaned up so nice. Wow, beautiful poison bottle. I love Sarah’s channel and your videography is awesome. I love the interactions with you and the others. Love the Mudpies, Kit and Caboodles and Alex and Gail. You are all great people to watch. Oh and Manchester Mudlarks.
Good video. Always the best finds. Nice gift exchange with the Mudpies. Your gifts to them were nice too especially Sarah's painting. Thanks. Suzy AZ USA
Thanks Suzy. Glad you enjoyed the video and seeing the finds. Was lovely to be able to do a gift swap with Andy and Josie - we're big fans of theirs! Willie :)
Thanks guys! I hadn't heard of the Derby ink, so that was a real surprise to find out they're a rare ink! Agree with you completely - Sarah is such a talent! Willie :) xx
Some absolute belter finds there Willie, loved the blue poison bottle but the printed cream jar is great too. Sarah I would never have known you hadn't painted with ink before, the ink bottle painting is just amazing, definitely have a talent for this. Jack you are just too cute, thank you for taking care of that nasty package wrapping 😂
Wow! Amazing dig! The Vapo-Cresil...Vapo-Cresoline...that blue bottle! How on Earth did it end up there?! Sarah, you are an amazing artist! That had to be so cool using that ink. Bottle Digger Tom knew exactly where that ink needed to end up, he gave a very thoughtful gift. The Mudpies gift was WoW! I could see the three of you paying them a visit, I think y'all would be great in mud pattons. Well, maybe not Sir Jack. Speaking of which, Sir Jack Spaniels and my pup must be related, chicken is definitely part of their language! Have a beautiful week you three! Thank you for a lovely video!
Hi Julianne - thanks - glad you could join us! The Vapo Cresolene was a surprise - especially when I googled it and found out what it was and where it came from! This tip is just packed with surprises! And I agree - Sarah is an amazing talent! Also, very kind of Tom to send us the ink. The original painting is on his way to him. Andy and Josie were very generous - we love the treasures they sent us! You never know... a proper collaboration video might well be on the cards this year..! Jack is fluent in all types of meat based food names! Great to hear you have a pup with similar interests! Hope you have a great week too. Always a pleasure to share these videos, when we receive lovely comments like yours! Willie :)
Its a spitoon at 19:14. I've seen these types before on Antiques Road Show! That's a gross but cool find. Look at the bottom for a makers mark or factory! Could be a real great find. That blue poison is for a lamp fuel. It was like kerosene. I hope that Bottle Digger Tom watches the video of Sarah painting the inkbottle. So beautiful and the ink is still going strong!
Thanks Mary - unfortunately the spittoon doesn't have a maker's mark - it's still great though. I think I'll repair the small area of damage in a future video. I think Tom is also going to feature the painting in his next video. Willie :)
Another exhausting dig...all that dancing! ;-) The cream pot was my favorite but I loved your other "belters" as well, and of course I love the tiny bottle and pot too (must be a girl thing). It was fun getting to see your gifts from the Mudpies as I watched them open your gifts as well. You got some beauties from them. Watching Sarah paint is always amazing but this time doing it with ink instead of watercolors and all monotone was just amazing. I can't believe how it looked just like the bottle when she was done. What talent! Thank you for the fun video. :-D
Thanks for watching! And - yeah - plenty boogying! Always exciting, finding these belters! Glad you enjoyed all the elements of the video. Sarah's ink painting is amazing - as you said! Thanks for tuning in and for commenting! Willie :)
Hi. Glad Willie is better, covid is no fun, it’s surprising how long the effects can hang on. Hopefully Sarah stays ok. Anything you buy secondhand always seems to have problems but you’re doing a great job with the boat, just hang in there. Richard is a gem. Great job with the vlogs. Best wishes Jenny and Dave
Great dig today, love the Belters, the tiny bottle, tiny stoneware and the Snow Drops (they don't grow here in Florida, I have tried). I had a brass spittoon on my my fireplace hearth for years with kindling in it, everybody thought it cool till they learned what it was, then they said GROSS! Josie and Andy are Legends!! Beautiful ink bottle painting Sarah. I off to watch "She walks, she paints" Thanks so much.
Thank you Debbie!! I hope you enjoy my video from this week :) If you like snowdrops - keep an eye out on She Walks She Paints in the coming weeks....there may be some more on the way...Thanks for your lovely comment. We will keep you all posted on how we use the spittoon (definitely not for its original purpose..!) Sarah, Willie & Jack x
😻 Hello Willie brilliant dig and video, my favourite belter of a find has to be the blue poison bottle 👍 I love how all the mudlarkers are very supportive of each other,it's lovely to see 👍😍 Sarah has again shown us how exceptionally talented she is👍👍😻 xx wonderful
Thanks Lizzy - glad you enjoyed all the elements of the video. Makes it all worthwhile! And you're right - it's a fantastic wee community! Sarah's an amazing talent - agreed! It's a very busy and creative home here. We both sneak into each other's studio to take a peek at whatever is being created at the time! Willie :)
Best video yet! That blue bottle is the belter of all belters! Loved watching Jack tearing up the paper, he must be so much fun at Christmas lol. Sarah's painting with the old ink is stunning, BDT is a lucky man to get that! Also, loving the new dance moves! 😃💗 x
I am fascinated by the pyramid ink bottle but my heart goes to cobalt blue. Great finds today. The snow drops are beautiful. Then I wonder how many bulbs you dug up making your hole. 🤔. I think I'd be taking some of those treasures home, or at least replanting in the hole. I'll have snow cover for at least a couple more months so seeing spring flowers already just seems amazing. Sarah's art is fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
Hello Willie, I bet you were tired with all that dancing and you still had to dig and refill. That's a beauty of a spittoon. The Vapo Cresolene is stunning, they also come in a few colors. I've seen cobalt, corn field blue, light green, aqua, clear and amethyst which was clear before, but the maganese in the glass it turned amethyst. They also come in a smaller size. I have 4 colors. Congrats for digging all those belters. Take care and be safe. ✌
Either the sender’s or receiver’s address was shown when Sarah was opening the little box at the desk. Might want to “fuzz” that out. I have a soft spot for blue glass, so that poison bottle had to be a fave today. Glad you had such an awesome dig-day, Willie! You’re going to have start charging for dancing lessons, because we’re all learning some cool moves on your channel!😉👍 I’m glad that Sarah’s channel is doing well…👏🤩
Wooow Sarah,sorry Willie,Sarah first tonight,beautiful bit off art with the ink,you done a fantastic drawing off the ink bottle,lovely.Haha Willie,Sarah caught you out with the ginger beer,😂😂what is it,you looked at her as if to say,eh, it’s a ginger beer,naw doppy,it’s a belter,😂😂good one Sarah.It’s a wonder you never hear me all the way from Dumbarton shouting at you,it’s a spittoon Willie,Willie it’s a spittoon,anyway,a cracking dig again,definitely the blue poison the best this week,everything was good.Take care people untill next time.👍👍
Hi Robert, I completely agree! Definitely Sarah deserves first address this week! Like most weeks, actually. The ink painting is ace! And yup - I totally missed that one with the ginger! The spittoon is such a bizarre find! I love it! You take care too! See you next time! W :)
Here I am, nose pressed against the glass, looking in at the wonderful mudlarking/bottle digging community from the outside. Poor me. :'( Just kidding!! LOL Exceptional dig this time, plus the goodies sent by The Mudpies. Jack almost stole the show with his cameo appearances, eh? LOL Good times. And, of course, Sarah's ink drawing was sublime. Tom will be happy with it, I'm sure. I'm not going to pick a favourite, just because I don't have to. I love it all.
Hey Noralee - glad you enjoyed seeing the finds and watching the video! Just finishing up the editing for this week! See you then! You take care too. Willie :)
I so want a small blue or green not to be taken bottle or even better both! My dream bottles!!! Love watching all your fantastic adventures and your most wonderful finds, as always!💜
HI Lisa - I understand completely - they're also my favourites! You never know - we may list some on Etsy in the future. When my wee collection is getting too much for my shelves, there won't be any other option! Very happy that you enjoy watching the videos and the finds! Willie :)
Hi Cynthia. I'll let you in to a secret... We just went to a local beauty spot that is completely shrouded in snowdrops! We made a video for Sarah's channel there, which is going to be stunning! I hope you'll tune in when it's released! Willie :)
Very nice cream(exceptional) and that lovely blue poison-wow! How nice of the Mudpies, you mudlarkers are so generous with each other. Good video, jealous that that you have spring starting up. I'm in the US NORTHWEST. Thank you.
Thanks Shannon - glad you enjoyed it! I'm just in the process of finishing this week's edit! The primroses are already starting to open now too - everything is early this year in Scotland. And agreed - it's a great wee community! Cheers, Willie :)
Willie just found your channel. I have watched 17 videos in 2 days. Big fan of you and Sarah. Find more Belters please. Also getting something from your etsy store!
Love the cobalt blue bottles, in general but the rare bumpy bottle is the best belter. You are tired because of all the belter dancing you are having to do. Wonderful tip you have found.
That's a nice change from a Bovril. Finds a Bovril. 😁😁😂😂 Would love to have that Johnnie Walker bottle. A Scotch whiskey bottle from Scotland would be really cool to me. 👍
Ha! Yup - I thought that was pretty amusing too, so stuck it in the video. It was literally the next find too! Don't think we'd got any whisky bottles up on the Etsy right now, but I'll get some up there. Willie :)
It's cool, right?! I think it divides opinions, a spittoon - can't imagine why... And yeah - when you told me about the Derby ink, I'd already dug it. We're a few videos filmed in advance (just in case we get stuck in the house, for reasons I won't go into..!). I didn't realise it was a good ink at the time, until you told me it was. That's why it made it into the thumbnail photo..! :)
Excellent stuff I like the Johnnie Walker bottle, Kilmarnock was my dad's home town his sister my aunt Is a told me that they had a flock of geese patrolling around the distillery perimeter fence to deter any would be thieves but I've never found out if this was true or if she was just hosting me.All the best
Enjoyed the video as always, you are a lovely couple. Both very blessed. Stay well and thanks for sharing your adventures. Give Jack a pet for me. Al, NJ, USA

It's certainly a very friendly community! Lovely to be a small part if it! Willie :)

Jack is so cute! He needs his own presents to unbox for us! 🐕🦺
Agreed! He gets plenty of gifts from us. We may have to start filming his unique 'unboxing' technique! Willie :)
Sarah, another masterpiece!!
Thank you Debbie!!

Thanks Jill - glad you could join us on another adventure! Willie :)
Absolute belter of a video. Love seeing you both together
Thanks Barbara! Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah's coming for her 4th ever dig next week! Hopefully get it uploaded fairly soon. All the best, Willie :)
The blue poison was my favorite belter. You do a wonderful job of cleaning the bottles to show us. The pyramid ink comes in second.
Hi Andrea - thanks for commenting! The blue poison is stunning. Such a crazy invention too. And thanks - the cleaning part is probably my least favourite part of the whole process, but its important that I do it properly, so I do take my time.
The pyramid ink is a special find too. Willie :)

@@dirtysecretsofscotland I'm biased again, but yeah...Sarah could definitely save that sign. I'm a true believer 😊
Sorry I forgot to say love your art Sarah ....your very talented
Thank you!!
Hello Willie my Moms' family is from Edinburgh, Campbells by name..anyway have fun!! Blessings
Hi Jeanne - half of my family is from Edinburgh too. You never know, our relatives may have been drinking together in a saloon in the old town many centuries ago! Willie :)
Thank you for such a fun video! I love that little Valentine bottle.
Thanks Sara - glad you enjoyed it - it was such fun to make!
Willie :)

Just gets better, thanks again.
Thanks Bryce - that's a really encouraging comment. Willie :)
Wonderful gifts, I love that you build great friendships while sharing the love of hunting for small treasures of times gone by. You both bring such happiness to my Sundays when late at night, I turn off the lights and totally engage in your magnificent videos. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
💜 As fun as it is to watch you dig, I could watch Sarah paint for hours.
Thank you Kelly! It is a very relaxing activity 😊
That painting is fantastic!!! me and steph just sat watching Sarah painting it in bed fantastic!!
Thanks Tom - Sarah's crazy good at art! We're both really pleased that you'll receive the original soon. It's on its way! Thanks for thinking of us to send the ink to. Willie :)
Thanks Tom! Hope you like the painting when it gets to you 😊

Absolute belters ...lol and some sweet stuff from mudpies ...
Indeed! And yeah - so kind of Andy and Josie! Willie :)
Wow .. oodles of really great finds on this adventure! I'm having a hard time picking a favorite. I think my top favorites are the printed cream pot, the spittoon and the blue poison.
Thanks for taking us along.
Greetings to Sarah and Jack Spaniels
I was remissed in mentioning the lovely gifts from Josie and Andy, so I had to come back and say I think it's amazing the way the mudlarking community supports each other.
Sarah your artwork is top notch!!
These winter digs just keep getting better and better.
Sure have been lucky recently. I think it's to do with the shallow part of the tip being the oldest part - a fortuitous discovery! The middle part is too waterlogged to dig in the winter. Willie :)
Great video. I'm torn between the cream pot and the cool looking ink well. Oh and Sara's channel is such a joy to watch. She is amazingly talented. Those beautiful walks she goes on and all those awesome treasures you dig up, have me wanting to visit Scotland.
Thanks Anna - glad you could join us on another adventure! Sarah's painting skills never cease to amaze me! You should visit Scotland - it's a unique and stunning place. We both do realise how lucky we are to live here. Willie :)
Thank you Willie, you get us so engaged in your excitement with your belters. I just love it! Great finds, I pray one day you have plenty belters to a point where you will sell some of them. I like that you had exceptional bottles that we hadn't seen before. I do love the cream colored cream pots. I have purchased some lovely items from you and I just treasure them. Greetings from Arizona, USA. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
Hey Guadalupe - great to hear from you!
Very happy that you're enjoying the videos so much! It's great fun to make them! I'm pretty sure that some of the best finds will make their way into our Etsy store eventually. Once I have two of each item, I will sell any more that I find.
Thanks so much for making your purchases - I can't tell you how much that helps us make these videos!
Greetings from (very rainy) Fife! Willie :)
A great dig. I can’t imagine actually holding a piece of Roman pottery. Amazing community of friends you have. I loved this video. Sarah your art is incredible. Thank you both.
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks - another fun adventure! And yeah - feels pretty epic to hold a piece of Roman! Can't imagine holding a whole item!
Loving the community vibes - great to be a small part of it! Agreed on Sarah's work! A pleasure to share! Willie :)
❤❤❤ beautiful drawing with the ink. I watched Tom dig up the bottle. Really enjoyed the dig and the treasures found. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Thanks Karla - Completely agree - Sarah's artwork is amazing! As are all of her works - such a talent!
We're both big fans of Tom's channel - was so kind of him to send us the ink! A pleasure to share! Willie :)
Amazing finds, Willie! I was blown away by the gifts you opened. I love watching Josie and Andy playing in the mud, but I have not yet seen Tom’s channel. I will go check it out tomorrow. Really nice ink drawing, Sarah.
I just cannot help but smile every time you get a belter!! What a fun adventure!
I love how you send gifts to each other from your areas. How fun!!!!
Wow wow wow I love Sarah's painting!!! So real looking with the old ink after all those years getting a new lease of live in the shape of a bottle never new you could paint with ink like that 🥰🥰🥰
Amazing finds, Willie! Since I'm from the US, it's nice to see the blue bottle from here😊. So great to see the mail from The Mudpies. They have a terrific channel too. Sarah, your ink bottle painting was FABULOUS!! Cheers to you both, and Jack as well🥂🥂❤❤
Thank you Kimberly - I’m just glad it turned out well!! 😊 Sarah x
Once again....AMAZING! Both the dig and the art work.
Thanks Sadie - always a pleasure to share when we receive comments like yours! Willie :)
Great find again Willie, I was wondering what's more tiring the digging or the celebratory dances 🕺
Thanks Darren. Some digs are even more tiring because I find nothing worth making a video from! They're the most tiring ones. :)
That said, the dancing comes a close second to the digging most of the time! Willie :)
Amazing items you found. Love the spittoon and it cleaned up so nice. Wow, beautiful poison bottle. I love Sarah’s channel and your videography is awesome. I love the interactions with you and the others. Love the Mudpies, Kit and Caboodles and Alex and Gail. You are all great people to watch. Oh and Manchester Mudlarks.
Thank you Carol! Glad you are enjoying both our channels 😊Sarah x
Thanks Carol - glad you're enjoying both of our channels. The mudlarking Community is great! So nice to be a small part of it.
Willie :)
It is always interesting to see what you find. Especially the belter ones! I enjoy your dance and music. Keep in going Willie.
Absolutely amazing video! Love all the little bottles too! Such amazing finds! Sarah you are so talented. I love watching your paintings come to life.
Thank you Jana! 😊
Good video. Always the best finds. Nice gift exchange with the Mudpies. Your gifts to them were nice too especially Sarah's painting. Thanks. Suzy AZ USA
Thanks Suzy. Glad you enjoyed the video and seeing the finds. Was lovely to be able to do a gift swap with Andy and Josie - we're big fans of theirs! Willie :)
Love that blue poison and also the Derby ink! Sarah, your paining is lovely! xx
Thanks guys! I hadn't heard of the Derby ink, so that was a real surprise to find out they're a rare ink! Agree with you completely - Sarah is such a talent! Willie :) xx
Sorry for all the comments😅 One more: awesome gifts from the Mudpies! Looking forward to their video this week, too. 😊
Thanks Kellie - hope you enjoyed their video also! Willie :)
Awesome for you to get to use this ink. How rare. Love the drawing. As usual a fabulous drawing.
Some absolute belter finds there Willie, loved the blue poison bottle but the printed cream jar is great too. Sarah I would never have known you hadn't painted with ink before, the ink bottle painting is just amazing, definitely have a talent for this. Jack you are just too cute, thank you for taking care of that nasty package wrapping 😂
Wow! Amazing dig! The Vapo-Cresil...Vapo-Cresoline...that blue bottle! How on Earth did it end up there?! Sarah, you are an amazing artist! That had to be so cool using that ink. Bottle Digger Tom knew exactly where that ink needed to end up, he gave a very thoughtful gift. The Mudpies gift was WoW! I could see the three of you paying them a visit, I think y'all would be great in mud pattons. Well, maybe not Sir Jack. Speaking of which, Sir Jack Spaniels and my pup must be related, chicken is definitely part of their language! Have a beautiful week you three! Thank you for a lovely video!
Hi Julianne - thanks - glad you could join us!
The Vapo Cresolene was a surprise - especially when I googled it and found out what it was and where it came from! This tip is just packed with surprises!
And I agree - Sarah is an amazing talent! Also, very kind of Tom to send us the ink. The original painting is on his way to him.
Andy and Josie were very generous - we love the treasures they sent us!
You never know... a proper collaboration video might well be on the cards this year..!
Jack is fluent in all types of meat based food names! Great to hear you have a pup with similar interests!
Hope you have a great week too. Always a pleasure to share these videos, when we receive lovely comments like yours! Willie :)
LOVE LOVE all your finds!!!!! Keep them coming Willie!!!
Thanks Jewel! Just had another great dig with Sarah! Video coming really soon! Willie :)
Wow, what amazing and historic finds. Way to go. Dance your feet off.👍💃
Thanks Wendy! Some more groovy finds in tonight's episode, with a few surprises thrown in..! Willie :)
Its a spitoon at 19:14. I've seen these types before on Antiques Road Show! That's a gross but cool find. Look at the bottom for a makers mark or factory! Could be a real great find. That blue poison is for a lamp fuel. It was like kerosene. I hope that Bottle Digger Tom watches the video of Sarah painting the inkbottle. So beautiful and the ink is still going strong!
Thanks Mary - unfortunately the spittoon doesn't have a maker's mark - it's still great though. I think I'll repair the small area of damage in a future video. I think Tom is also going to feature the painting in his next video. Willie :)
Terrific finds. So many beautiful bottles and the cream pot.
Another exhausting dig...all that dancing! ;-) The cream pot was my favorite but I loved your other "belters" as well, and of course I love the tiny bottle and pot too (must be a girl thing). It was fun getting to see your gifts from the Mudpies as I watched them open your gifts as well. You got some beauties from them. Watching Sarah paint is always amazing but this time doing it with ink instead of watercolors and all monotone was just amazing. I can't believe how it looked just like the bottle when she was done. What talent! Thank you for the fun video. :-D
Thanks for watching! And - yeah - plenty boogying! Always exciting, finding these belters!
Glad you enjoyed all the elements of the video. Sarah's ink painting is amazing - as you said! Thanks for tuning in and for commenting! Willie :)
Hi. Glad Willie is better, covid is no fun, it’s surprising how long the effects can hang on. Hopefully Sarah stays ok.
Anything you buy secondhand always seems to have problems but you’re doing a great job with the boat, just hang in there. Richard is a gem. Great job with the vlogs. Best wishes Jenny and Dave
Fabulous video and super great finds. Love the ink bottles. Thank you for sharing.
Great dig today, love the Belters, the tiny bottle, tiny stoneware and the Snow Drops (they don't grow here in Florida, I have tried). I had a brass spittoon on my my fireplace hearth for years with kindling in it, everybody thought it cool till they learned what it was, then they said GROSS! Josie and Andy are Legends!! Beautiful ink bottle painting Sarah. I off to watch "She walks, she paints" Thanks so much.
Thank you Debbie!! I hope you enjoy my video from this week :) If you like snowdrops - keep an eye out on She Walks She Paints in the coming weeks....there may be some more on the way...Thanks for your lovely comment. We will keep you all posted on how we use the spittoon (definitely not for its original purpose..!) Sarah, Willie & Jack x
@@dirtysecretsofscotland 🤣
😻 Hello Willie brilliant dig and video, my favourite belter of a find has to be the blue poison bottle 👍
I love how all the mudlarkers are very supportive of each other,it's lovely to see 👍😍 Sarah has again shown us how exceptionally talented she is👍👍😻 xx wonderful
Thanks Lizzy - glad you enjoyed all the elements of the video. Makes it all worthwhile! And you're right - it's a fantastic wee community!
Sarah's an amazing talent - agreed! It's a very busy and creative home here. We both sneak into each other's studio to take a peek at whatever is being created at the time! Willie :)
Great find,beautiful things the brown thingy is a spittoon ,the ink was gorgeous. Blessings
I like the blue poison bottle and the green local beer bottle. The ink bottle drawing was fantastic Sarah!
Hi Penny - I agree - it was a lucky dig! And - agreed! Sarah's artwork never ceases to amaze me! Willie :)
Het is weer een schat aan vondsten, de ink is mijn nummer 1.
Dank je wel , liefs RINI.
Best video yet! That blue bottle is the belter of all belters! Loved watching Jack tearing up the paper, he must be so much fun at Christmas lol. Sarah's painting with the old ink is stunning, BDT is a lucky man to get that! Also, loving the new dance moves! 😃💗 x
Im always so excited to see what you dig up!!
Day's gone by, Lovely art, Sarah.💜
Thank you Pam! 😊Sarah x
Our pup loves to "rip and tear" paper too. She often helps at Christmas.
Wonderful sketching at the end.
Fabulous dig this week..Sarah your ink pot is amazing.. 100 year old ink too.. 🥰
Thank you! I’m so glad it turned out well 😊
Another you tube page Scotland, he has found lots of rubies and the beach near him, I thought that they would be good for Sarah's painting etc
Sarah your art is just beautiful!!!!
I agree! Sarah said thanks (she's sitting next to me! Willie :)
What a supreme drawing
I am fascinated by the pyramid ink bottle but my heart goes to cobalt blue.
Great finds today.
The snow drops are beautiful. Then I wonder how many bulbs you dug up making your hole. 🤔. I think I'd be taking some of those treasures home, or at least replanting in the hole. I'll have snow cover for at least a couple more months so seeing spring flowers already just seems amazing.
Sarah's art is fabulous! Thanks for sharing.
The cream pot was beautiful my favourite.
Hello Willie, I bet you were tired with all that dancing and you still had to dig and refill. That's a beauty of a spittoon. The Vapo Cresolene is stunning, they also come in a few colors. I've seen cobalt, corn field blue, light green, aqua, clear and amethyst which was clear before, but the maganese in the glass it turned amethyst. They also come in a smaller size. I have 4 colors. Congrats for digging all those belters. Take care and be safe. ✌
Beautiful drawing by Sarah, bless you honey
Thank you Gloria! Sarah x
Either the sender’s or receiver’s address was shown when Sarah was opening the little box at the desk. Might want to “fuzz” that out.
I have a soft spot for blue glass, so that poison bottle had to be a fave today. Glad you had such an awesome dig-day, Willie! You’re going to have start charging for dancing lessons, because we’re all learning some cool moves on your channel!😉👍 I’m glad that Sarah’s channel is doing well…👏🤩
Thanks for flagging this! We've since fuzzed the address out. Glad you enjoyed another episode! Willie :)
Lots of dancing 🕺 in this video as there should be for all those amazing finds
Thanks Ruth! All a bit of fun! Can't disguise the excitement, so might as well embrace it! Glad you enjoyed the video! Willie :)
Awesome findings, really enjoyed the whole video , along with gifts 🎁 and the ink painting 🖼.
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥ 🙏 🤝
Thanks - glad you're enjoying our work! Willie :)
Wooow Sarah,sorry Willie,Sarah first tonight,beautiful bit off art with the ink,you done a fantastic drawing off the ink bottle,lovely.Haha Willie,Sarah caught you out with the ginger beer,😂😂what is it,you looked at her as if to say,eh, it’s a ginger beer,naw doppy,it’s a belter,😂😂good one Sarah.It’s a wonder you never hear me all the way from Dumbarton shouting at you,it’s a spittoon Willie,Willie it’s a spittoon,anyway,a cracking dig again,definitely the blue poison the best this week,everything was good.Take care people untill next time.👍👍
Hi Robert, I completely agree! Definitely Sarah deserves first address this week! Like most weeks, actually.
The ink painting is ace!
And yup - I totally missed that one with the ginger!
The spittoon is such a bizarre find! I love it! You take care too! See you next time! W :)
Beautiful painting.
Here I am, nose pressed against the glass, looking in at the wonderful mudlarking/bottle digging community from the outside. Poor me. :'( Just kidding!! LOL Exceptional dig this time, plus the goodies sent by The Mudpies. Jack almost stole the show with his cameo appearances, eh? LOL Good times. And, of course, Sarah's ink drawing was sublime. Tom will be happy with it, I'm sure. I'm not going to pick a favourite, just because I don't have to. I love it all.
Hey Noralee - glad you enjoyed seeing the finds and watching the video! Just finishing up the editing for this week! See you then! You take care too. Willie :)
Ooh, fab finds. I have the Vapo in aqua, lovely bottle. Get back to that spot soon! 👌👌👍
I so want a small blue or green not to be taken bottle or even better both!
My dream bottles!!!
Love watching all your fantastic adventures and your most wonderful finds, as always!💜
HI Lisa - I understand completely - they're also my favourites! You never know - we may list some on Etsy in the future. When my wee collection is getting too much for my shelves, there won't be any other option!
Very happy that you enjoy watching the videos and the finds! Willie :)
Thanks for the reply 😊 I'll definitely keep an eye out!
You are killing me…snowdrops! They are lovely. I can’t even see my flower beds. That’s a spittoon Willie, not an ash tray
Hi Cynthia. I'll let you in to a secret... We just went to a local beauty spot that is completely shrouded in snowdrops! We made a video for Sarah's channel there, which is going to be stunning! I hope you'll tune in when it's released! Willie :)
Very nice cream(exceptional) and that lovely blue poison-wow! How nice of the Mudpies, you mudlarkers are so generous with each other. Good video, jealous that that you have spring starting up. I'm in the US NORTHWEST. Thank you.
Thanks Shannon - glad you enjoyed it! I'm just in the process of finishing this week's edit! The primroses are already starting to open now too - everything is early this year in Scotland.
And agreed - it's a great wee community! Cheers, Willie :)
Exhausted from all the belters!!!!
Willie just found your channel. I have watched 17 videos in 2 days. Big fan of you and Sarah. Find more Belters please. Also getting something from your etsy store!
Amazing video and finds spittoon is my favorite actually loved them all thanks Willie 😊
awesome dig.. very cool mail call. love the ink drawing,, saw it on toms.. wow
Brilliant video Guys. Thank you.
Thanks John - a pleasure to share! Willie :)
theres nothing quite like having a lunch sandwich next to your tip and looking at your bottles!
Absolutely! A moment to recharge and enjoy the finds before getting stuck in again! A hot cup of tea makes it extra special. Willie :)
Love the cobalt blue bottles, in general but the rare bumpy bottle is the best belter. You are tired because of all the belter dancing you are having to do. Wonderful tip you have found.
Ha, I don't know what's worse...an ashtray or spittoon!! Enjoying Sarah's channel btw.
Thanks Nadine!
That's a nice change from a Bovril. Finds a Bovril. 😁😁😂😂
Would love to have that Johnnie Walker bottle. A Scotch whiskey bottle from Scotland would be really cool to me. 👍
Ha! Yup - I thought that was pretty amusing too, so stuck it in the video. It was literally the next find too! Don't think we'd got any whisky bottles up on the Etsy right now, but I'll get some up there. Willie :)
Jack,
This whole episode was amazing, but Sarah's Ink-Inkwell was the "Belter"!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thanks Rik!!
Lovely spittoon
Can't believe you dug a Derby all brittish I was telling you about one of those a couple of weeks ago lol
It's cool, right?! I think it divides opinions, a spittoon - can't imagine why...
And yeah - when you told me about the Derby ink, I'd already dug it. We're a few videos filmed in advance (just in case we get stuck in the house, for reasons I won't go into..!).
I didn't realise it was a good ink at the time, until you told me it was. That's why it made it into the thumbnail photo..! :)
@@dirtysecretsofscotland they come in all sorts of colours aswell I think Amber is the rarest but the colbolt blue ones are stunning
Beautiful artwork Sarah!!
Thank you Denise! Glad you liked it 😊Sarah x
Amazing finds as usual mate! so many belters haha! Sarah is so talented, always a masterpiece 👌
Thanks Ed! I’m so glad it turned out well - no pressure right..?!
What an awesome job hugs to you
Excellent stuff I like the Johnnie Walker bottle, Kilmarnock was my dad's home town his sister my aunt Is a told me that they had a flock of geese patrolling around the distillery perimeter fence to deter any would be thieves but I've never found out if this was true or if she was just hosting me.All the best
“Jack is fascinated by the Romans” 😂
Enjoyed the video as always, you are a lovely couple. Both very blessed. Stay well and thanks for sharing your adventures. Give Jack a pet for me.
Al, NJ, USA
Thanks Al, very kind words.
Jack has had a cuddle for you!
Glad you’re enjoying our adventures! Willie 😊
Super video!)
