This box could not have landed with a better custodian. Michael will respect it and keep it safe. Perhaps Beatrix destined that it be yours all along. Good to see you posting again, Michael, and congratulations! We need an update on the kitchen project!!!!
So… in order for Beatrix to be your grandmother’s cousin, your grandmother would have to have been the daughter of a brother or sister to Beatrix’s parents, Helen and Rupert. Correct?
I learned from a gardening book a phrase about perennial growth. “First year planted they sleep. The second year they creep then the third year they leap.” 🌸
Goodness, the universe is practically shouting at you, Michael. Kismet, serendipity, Fate, or fortuity, it doesn't really matter. You have been blessed with a most fitting gift. Sweetie, you just need to get on with it. Your beautiful heart has so many lovely stories to tell. Thank goodness pictures are worth at least a thousand words. Hopefully we won't have to wait long. It's so very wonderful to see you posting on your own channel again. Please don't give any time or attention to the nonsensical commentary this time around. You're an ENFJ, Michael. The show must go on. Cheers!!! 🥂😘❤️💕
Wonderful to have you back Michael, I and thousands of others missed you. I think your idea for the greenhouse/art studio is absolutely fantastic! Perfect solution to the low light in the cottage. The box you bought on eBay is the purchase of the century and it couldn’t have found a better custodian than you Michael. You are excellent at creating vlogs, thanks Michael and carry on! 🙏❤️
I believe that something led you to buy the box. Maybe Beatrix herself, because you of all people would treasure it. Be careful with your rabbit & the box because rabbits do chew wood, I know from experience. Glad you are the new owner of such a treasure. Love your videos, maybe because you make everything so much more interesting.
Obviously you've had a long interest in Beatrix Potter, Michael. Acquiring this writing slope box must seem like a dream come true. How wonderful for you. Thank you for sharing your treasure.
How interesting! I had one of Beatrix Potter's great nieces as a patient over here in America. She had several first editions of her books she said. She also played the piano beautifully at the nursing home. This has been 25 years ago, now, but as you love all things Beatrix, I thought I'd share.
Happy to see your return Michael. Millions of children (and many of us adults) have loved Beatrix Potter and know most of her story. What a find and to know you do your work...that makes the writing box even more special. Bravo!
I wondered what happened to you! So glad to see you back on YT. I am 81 yrs young, & have been a Beatrix Potter fan, since I was 7 yrs. old. I decorated our spare bedroom, for our great granddaughter, in all Beatrix Potter books and memorabilia! She & I had so much fun reading Beatrix’s books. What I find, with that gorgeous writing/painting box! Welcome back, Michael! 👍🏻💕🇺🇸
Hello from Johannesburg in Soith Africa I'm a 77 year old retired lady living in a retirement village and its my way of staying my morning. Being winter one does not want to get up to early so thank you and plse keep making these vedios
It´s amazing that YOU got it. You are probably the biggest Beatrix Potter Fan on the Planet and the Universe decided that it has to end up in your hands.
Michael, so happy to see you back. Your love of all things Beatrix Potter has manifested this beautiful writing desk. If you had not done the research on her techniques you would not have been looking for a writing box. All things led you to it. It was meant for you - of that I am convinced. That little box could not be more treasured by anyone as much as you will treasure it. So happy for you x
Love all the roses and other flowers in the garden and growing up the cottage. It looks gorgeous. The writing box is a stunning find. All your knowledge about Beatrix Potter prepared you to know what box to buy.
Michael, could you tell us the varieties and names of your gorgeous roses!! ? I'm presuming they're climbing roses. Are some of them David Austin Roses?
Michael, the garden outside the greenhouse is beautiful, can't wait to see how you finish the inside. The color is perfect. I know it is alot of work and we will always stick around whenever you do post but, please show us the finished product when done. We never did get to see the finished project of your bedroom upstairs, the last we saw it, you were still putting up insulation and drywall. Hopefully, the horses will not eat your blueberries in passing to the stalls. The box is beautiful, I find it so cool that it came to you a very special fan of Beatrix Potter. Your bunny is adorable and so calm.
So happy to see you back Michael. I was mesmerised by the Beatrix Potter writing slope and the wonderful story of how you obtained it. You are right that it was meant to be and I am so glad that it is now where it will be cherished.
Michael- Yay! What a pleasure to have you back. So excited for the content to come. Such an exciting and magical story of Beatrix Potter’s box finding its way to you darlin Michael, you deserve this. Looking forward to you putting it to use and the magnificent creations you’ll produce.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💛🙏🏼💛⭐️💯💪🏼🥰 Much love from NYC 💛💛💛
I’m glad to finally have an update on the greenhouse work. I really believe that you have a connection to Beatrix Potter, and this box proves it! I’m glad you are keeping it.
I am so glad you are back. You and Stephanie started me in my obsession with chateau channels. Welcome back. Love your idea of using the greenhouse in part as a winter art studio. Perfect.
So happy I came across this video. I love Beatrix Potter. I have a copy of Peter Rabbit sitting on my drafting table right now. I remember my mother reading it to me as a preschooler. I‘m also a watercolorist and greatly admire her work. What a lovely find. 💕
Well Michael, that was just a beautiful video. No one loves Beatrix Potter more than you do, so it’s a blessing that it’s now yours, so you should keep it. Best wishes!
The box is stunning. Unused/gently used it is extremely valuable. Perhaps a box that allows freedom of expression, fully accepting of all accidents, mishaps, mishandling, with little to no consequences would let you be you, however that manifests. Please, Michael, think about it. That is an amazing piece you have discovered. Yes, the world would love to share in your awe.
We are so fortunate that Michael is bringing us his videos. He’s a gifted artist , and seems to be very kind, I certainly hope the sad trolls leave him alone. I can’t even imagine how scary it must be to put your heart and soul into a video just to have haters ruin it. Good luck Michael ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a fabulous find! I'd like to believe that it was indeed Beatrix Potter's belongings. Good luck finding the trail of the writing box. Welcome back!! We missed you.
Back in action! I too am glad. I've been waiting for this kitchen project since I began watching your channel. I'm so excited to see it nearly on the verge of completion! The transformation is truly stunning! Soon you'll be able to start filming Downton Abbey 3 where the Crawley family gets to know their French "relations" quite a bit better.❤
Ah!! I was so uplifted and smiled when all of a sudden I saw your familiar face on my feed and was reminded of my temporarily forgotten favorite chateau! I am very happy to be reminded of your lighthearted calming lovely videos and I'm so excited to watch what I've missed and what you release again going forward :)))
So glad to have you back, Michael! Knowing and loving your channel is how I started watching The Pethericks. The studio idea is inspired, wonderful for the winter. Please don’t question your art. Beatrix Potter was great, but your art is wonderful too! I enjoy the print I bought of the greenhouse every day.
I am a big fan of Beatrix Potter illustrations and stories. You're so fortunate to have found that writing box on ebay which belonged to someone you truly admire.
What a wonderful discovery of the writing box!!!!! You most certainly were meant to have it!!! Please keep it!!!!!!😊♥️ Your flower garden is magnificent!! I will be waiting and watching for your new painter’s nook in the green house…😊♥️
Thank you, Michael you may never fully know how much I appreciate your content and your being so vulnerable while expressing a slice of your life with all of us. Your content and production values are so eclectic and very calming to me. Cheers from Ocala, Florida.
Michael- the box is gorgeous and you are the proper custodian! Amazing! I cannot wait to see the beautiful art you create using the box! The greenhouse looks beautiful! So glad you’re back!
Oh Michael, so wonderful to see you back. Loved this video! The box is stunning, but it's no accident you ended up with one of Beatrix's treasured possessions. You were meant to have it. Next time you feel discouraged or frustrated just remember, someone is looking out for you! ❤️
Michael, You are such a gifted story teller. It was your channel that introduced me to all the other chateau channels. Your talents are many. The box is incredible. Exciting about the Beatrix Potter connection for your collection. I hope there is not an offer you can’t refuse so you can justify keeping.
Your videos have the aura of watercolors. So much rich and varied colors. I'm so glad you are back producing videos. Your telling of the story of the writing box was so fascinating, like a treasure hunt for the provenance of the beautiful box. I do hope you can ultimately find the proof that it belonged to Ms. Potter.
Your flowers, and the box are both lovely. That box is just amazingly beautiful and I'm glad it's in the hands of someone who will love and appreciate it.
Welcome back Michael ! The greenhouse is looking great , good idea to use it as an artist's studio. The box is beautiful and i don't blame you for keeping it . I now have four of your prints ( including Bertram bunny ) and they are gorgeous, everyone asks me about them when they see them !
Michael, what a beautiful box. As an artist myself I understand about doubting your work but do not, your artwork is really great! Beatrix would be proud of your work, and I think that box found its way into the right hands. Enjoy working on it, I hope it inspires you to keep creating new pieces. And Bertram bunny is absolutely adorable. Happy Painting!☺
Absolutely delighted that you found and purchased the beautiful box belonging to Beatrix Potter. It certainly should remain in your hands and be cherished by you, as I know it will be. A priceless item to own. 💕💞💕. Michael, it is so good to see you back and picking up where you left off !!
My heart fluttered when Billie announced you had uploaded a new video. I feel In love with your family through your channel several years ago and have missed you this year as you took a break from filming. Welcome back! I imagine Beatrix Potter guiding that writing box into your hands as a little gift of thanks for keeping her passions alive. You are so talented and blessed! ❤️
Great to see you looking so well and happy Michael! Thrilled that you’re producing videos again. You are a natural story teller and videographer as well as an accomplished artist. Congratulations on your lucky find and I hope it gives you years of pleasure using it. Looking forward to more visits with you, but please don’t feel pressured making them. Personally I’d be happy with just a monthly video from you if that is your preference. As long as it gives your joy producing them. Loved meeting Bertrand and the farmyard animals. Hope your plans for the greenhouse and all your plants and trees blossom. Your cottage garden is gorgeous.👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Absolutely this was not a coincidence. The universe provided. Amazing Michael I believe you manifested this and Beatrice must be extremely happy. Bravo 👏
Omg!! The art box is FABULOUS! You deserved this box, it was meant to be... so thrilled 4U. Hello, Michael. You look absolutely marvelous love. The music was perfect. I am so happy to see you showing us around your cottage, your garden, your greenhouse, apple trees and currents. The joy is overwhelming and you are a breath of fresh air today for me. God love you. Thank you. ❤❤
It's so good to see you back, Michael, and oh my God what a beautiful box, an incredible find! It was providence that it found you and that you were able to discern that Beatrice Potter was it's owner. I wish you much success in discovering more. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Gorgeous! I have my grand father's writing box. They are works of art! I am so glad to see you again. I received the mouse. I love it! thank you Michael!
So great to see the progress on the glass house - it will be gorgeous when finished. Watching someone weed is sooo satisfying & love your plans for the greenhouse as a suntrap in winter. Your flower garden is really making the cottage very picturesque. The box is stunning
absolutely stunning, it was meant to be with you, the universe knows how much you adore Beatrix Potter. I am sure she guided the fates in bringing it to you. SO very happy to see you back on your own channel, Michael. You have been sorely missed.🤗💗🦊
It seems like it was divine intervention that lead you to the purchase of this beautiful box, and I think that Beatrix Potter would be delighted that it found its way to you, Michael!!!
You could directly plant those young apple trees directly into the ground and they'd be fine. Buying young plants, (especially trees) rather than more mature ones, however tempting that is, will often allow them to establish more quickly as they are able to adapt to local soil conditions more readily. If deer or other grazers are a problem, either fence them off or, if choosing pots to grow them on in, dig up some soil from where in your garden you eventually intend to plant them out into, as again, they won't suffer transplantation shock & will establish just that much quicker; they'll form a quicker relationship with the local mycorhizzal fungi in the soil and be able to absorb moisture & nutrients more easily. Bramley apples are very common in New Zealand and Australia too, both in gardens, orchards, and on supermarket shelves.
Good to have you back, That box is a very beautifull Piece. Trying to see if i can find a Apple bramble tree to get shipped to Holland. Sounds very interesting.
Welcome back Michael you’ve been well missed! What a stunningly beautiful box! It must be destined for you! Always loved Beatrix Potter and did my daughter’s nursery in Peter Rabbit and friends and still have my little book set from childhood. Your cottage and greenhouse look lovely!
I believe I echo everyone's sentiments when I say it's wonderful to see you back on-line. So excited to see the progress.
You have no idea how fast I clicked on this video. Still 44 hours to go! 😆
@@mariab1429 Right???? Talk about anxiety!
@@mariab1429. I think I have a pretty good idea. I did the same.
@@mariab1429 That's 158,400 seconds!!!
What a surprise!
This box could not have landed with a better custodian. Michael will respect it and keep it safe. Perhaps Beatrix destined that it be yours all along. Good to see you posting again, Michael, and congratulations! We need an update on the kitchen project!!!!
Looks like it managed to find its way back home! (Or at least to one of them.)
Sounds divinely guided :)
Any decent person would have donated it to the museum
It's a fake
All in good time!@@World_AA
Beatrix Potter was my grandmother’s cousin. My grandmother spent many hours in the garden with Beatrix. So glad you are back ❤
So… in order for Beatrix to be your grandmother’s cousin, your grandmother would have to have been the daughter of a brother or sister to Beatrix’s parents, Helen and Rupert. Correct?
@@pumpkinpatch5 Are they related to Harold Potter?
🥰
OMG How proud would Beatrice Potter be of you Michael, because your viewer's are ❤
Welcome back Michael. You don’t know how much we’ve all missed your beautiful face. ♥️🦋
He is so delightful and talented I’m so many ways.
MPeth is smashing, as always.
Happy to see you on your own video 🥰
I was thrilled when I saw his notification. So glad to have one of the best content creators back on line!!
Good for you Michael! Loved the content and the new look! Keep it up! ❤
One of the originals that started the chateau craze ❤

So happy to see my favorite Petherick back online.

Your cottage and garden are gorgeous Michael.
So happy I came across this video. I love Beatrix Potter. I have a copy of Peter Rabbit sitting on my drafting table right now. I remember my mother reading it to me as a preschooler. I‘m also a watercolorist and greatly admire her work. What a lovely find. 💕
Well Michael, that was just a beautiful video. No one loves Beatrix Potter more than you do, so it’s a blessing that it’s now yours, so you should keep it. Best wishes!

Beautiful flowers, Amazing bit of history, and even a laugh what else can we ask for?! Such a joy to watch thank you Michael!
What an absolutely beautiful box and in such great condition,what a find.

Thirty minutes of Michael! I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of topics. Catch-ups of projects, plantings, and Beatrix Potter history. Absolutely wonderful!
How completely delightful. I gasped when the signature came to light. Beatrix wanted you to have it. I really believe that
Fabulous Michael 🌸🌷🌼
Definitely!
Absolutely this was not a coincidence. The universe provided. Amazing Michael I believe you manifested this and Beatrice must be extremely happy. Bravo 👏

absolutely stunning, it was meant to be with you, the universe knows how much you adore Beatrix Potter. I am sure she guided the fates in bringing it to you. SO very happy to see you back on your own channel, Michael. You have been sorely missed.🤗💗🦊
It seems like it was divine intervention that lead you to the purchase of this beautiful box, and I think that Beatrix Potter would be delighted that it found its way to you, Michael!!!
You could directly plant those young apple trees directly into the ground and they'd be fine. Buying young plants, (especially trees) rather than more mature ones, however tempting that is, will often allow them to establish more quickly as they are able to adapt to local soil conditions more readily. If deer or other grazers are a problem, either fence them off or, if choosing pots to grow them on in, dig up some soil from where in your garden you eventually intend to plant them out into, as again, they won't suffer transplantation shock & will establish just that much quicker; they'll form a quicker relationship with the local mycorhizzal fungi in the soil and be able to absorb moisture & nutrients more easily.
Bramley apples are very common in New Zealand and Australia too, both in gardens, orchards, and on supermarket shelves.
Good to have you back, That box is a very beautifull Piece. Trying to see if i can find a Apple bramble tree to get shipped to Holland. Sounds very interesting.
Welcome back Michael you’ve been well missed! What a stunningly beautiful box! It must be destined for you! Always loved Beatrix Potter and did my daughter’s nursery in Peter Rabbit and friends and still have my little book set from childhood. Your cottage and greenhouse look lovely!
It's so wonderful to have you back on our screens ❤
