  • This week we visited a frosty bottle dump in search of treasures. We found something that had us quite perplexed but we think we have answer and if so it is a very strange object indeed! Come with us to see what it is and see if you agree with us!

    Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet. A tuffet is a small grassy mound or clump of grass; or alternatively a low seat.

    That picture you found matches that water gun to much to not be one. Maybe a clay pipe maker company made ceramic ones after, since kids liked the metal ones. I would try putting a small water balloon on it and see it squirt! Lol

    The etched glass bubble would make a lovely hot air balloon with attached basket. The lines remind me of the rope netting they used to use to hold the balloon to the basket itself. Also, I cannot believe how thorn-filled that dump is! I am afraid I would be a very impolite sailor of swearing.

    According to my Dictionary, a tuffet is a low stool (or a turf of grass). You might have enough buttons to make a framed display (picture made out of buttons). You could have turned that broken Penny Lick into a free standing pin cushion.

    When you 1st found the 🔫 shaped item, just based on the grooves at the end I thought it could be (part) of a stylized version of a "Dummy" Pacifier for Babies..but then why would you want Baby chewing on a 🔫??😬😉 Great research! BTW I researched ( wondering why a Cardinal was STILL about in Winter); Cardinals don't migrate in Winter, or use Birdhouses, they hang out in Evergreen trees, Shrubs, & overgrown thickets.* The presence of a vibrant red Cardinal is a happy sign that those we have lost will live forever, as long as we keep their memory in our hearts.❤😊

    What a find! I found a tiny lead water pistol a while ago in quite similar design to this, it would have had a rubber ball full of water as the grip. The rubber would have slotted over those two ‘ribbed’ bits near the base.
    Not 100% but I think it could be!

  • @rockreader4298
    @rockreader4298 Год назад +3

    I like the clips of the frosted plants, so very much. The perfect easy, fast way to rescue and up-cycle broken pottery pieces, slag-glass, broken marbles, or any glass bottle stops that are broken in half .... glue fridge magnets onto the flat side. Great way to display your treasures that way is on a found old metal sign. Kate, the round etched bulb you found, would be a wonderful Hot-Air Balloon, with twisted/braided metal as the ropes, as well as a tiny (metal basket?) The pretty brown glass bottle you found, would make a great skirt for a porcelain, lady's head and body, you find sometimes, by cutting the top of the bottle for a good fit.

    Some interesting and historical finds today.Perhaps some local pipe makers ran off a batch of those little guns for the local children after seeing them,either in the papers or on his travels. I should imagine the local shops would not have held a lot of things that the bigger towns and cities did.That could be why you can’t find them.I can imagine the children having so much fun with those . The historical pieces are always interesting !because it’s easy now to chase them up on the internet.it also give a good idea to the things people brought and used at the time of the bottle tip too.Thanks for taking us along ..Love n Light 🥰

Funnily enough, the Northern mudlarks in their latest video found a toy water pistol from a Crackerjack box exactly like yours - except theirs is lead. What a spooky coincidence!!

    Hello lovely ladies and everybody else. I really loved every second of this video . Thank you for keeping on going while you are not exactly in the fullness of health Kate. I loved this video. I have always had a fascination of postal history. I'm sure all the people that I know who work for the post service would love this too. That etched ball would make a lovely small balloon Christmas hanging decoration. As soon as I saw that picture I thought it was a squirt bubble gun. I like your new mudlarking bag Kate. Fleur I love your chain on your glasses. Speaking of the post I have still to send you something. It has flown by since Christmas soon it will be burns night , then valentines day then Easter. There's just never enough time for crafters is there?. I am wondering what you will be doing with your new watercolours. Will you be sketching the scenery on your travels?. I can remember my late grandmother's phone number being five digits, which was always getting mistaken for a taxi rank. We were always getting requests for to use our phone with people offering to put money in the box beside it. Before the advent of mobiles it certainly made life interesting. You have the knack of posting just when I need to watch you when I need to after I have had a bad time or I'm stressed etc . I hope this trend continues. The dragon was an appropriate find with it being the Chinese New year having begun. You were wearing one of my favourite colours when you were mud larking Kate. Your craft station sounds like mine haha totally chaotic. I eagerly await your next post no matter what you do. Stay safe and warm in this bitter cold winter. Xxx
