Peaceful and relaxing. That’s why I watch. Love her. Hi I’m Darlene from Souper at 60. I’d love to have you join me in my kitchen sometime. Lord bless 🇺🇸❤️
I recently found you and I am blessed. . I have been depressed and saddened. I am a Covid nurse in NJ. Have let my gardens go for 2 yrs and my home. I do have animals and I love to bake with antique items and make antique recipes. Your videos have inspired me to get going at home and I am inspired by the tea and chinaware ( another passion) to make things nice at home again. My husband and son care for the animals and I wish to make things better for them, your show is easy , and not at all stressful, in fact very calming for me to set goals and make plans I wanted to thank you for all you do for me and others every day🙏 Lee NJ
That is very rewarding to know that the videos have been helpful to you. I hope you can renew the joy in life that you had in the past, before the PROBLEM came along. May God bring you peace!
Hello from England ,I have terminal Cancer and I can't tell you how much I love and appreciate your videos.Once I put my baby to bed I retire for the night myself and I listen to you wearing headphones just BLISS ! I love the sounds of the eggs cracking ,the sugar bag and your voice just so soothing.I am not able to eat solid food anymore and I'm drooling over your scones and most especially the clotted cream YUMMY !! Sending you love and thanks ,God Bless you from a chilly England xxx
I am so sorry to learn of your condition, but pleased that this video brings you quietness and peace. You've encouraged me as well and I sincerely wish you the best, Thank you for this comment, may God be with you through all of trials. Jeri
On this day 4 years ago I woke to find my mother had left and gone to be with God, I have had such a devastatingly hard time ever since. But I woke early today and found such peace, so many little things, signs, and then I found this!!! She would have loved all the treasures and the beautiful placements of them. Feels as if she is here enjoying with me. Thank you !
It seems that God gave you a beautiful gift today in many ways, touching you with the near-ness of your dear mothers love and presence. That is just lovely!
Marty, your Mother’s love is with you always. I’m a mother and grandmother. I miss my sweet Momma and Granny everyday. We miss our family and friends because they were wonderful people.
I love tea time. Before my mom passed in 2010 I took her for Mother's Day Tea for several years. In 2015 I had a tea with my son, my sister and her family in honor of my mom Shirley Jean Starcher. Miss her every moment of the day.
Hunca Munca said over her crumb and clot, "This is so much better than the ham we had at Lucinda and Jane's house, isn't it Tom Thumb?" "Oh, yes it is!" he replied, "but let's see if we can carry off that platter of scones for the children." Well, they couldn't pull that caper off so most of them are safely lined up in my freezer. Thank you, Jeri. I made the clotted cream and then the scones and they turned out perfectly. I just came across your videos and love all of your art and collections. I highly recommend your recipes! i could only find ultra pasteurized cream like you and it worked fine. Just delicious!
This video was exactly what I've been craving... Nostalgia, coziness, art, and even someone to read aloud to me. Thank you for the respite from our hectic world, and inviting us in for a visit to your lovely home!
I’m a 75 yr old widow, and have had a most lovely breakfast along with your tea time makings. Many years ago, I lived in Sri Lanka for a couple of years, and they do most things the British way (or vay) as they would say. They put a lot of milk and sugar in their delicious Sri Lankan mountain grown black tea, and so I used to tell them... “You don’t drink tea, you drink hot sugar milk”. In the villages there, back then, they didn’t have access to fresh milk or cream, so they used a Lanka powdered milk. My family and I all grew to love it as much as we loved the Sri Lankan people. I bought a teapot, cups & saucers & bread & butter plates to use daily, and then brought those back to the U.S. as our souvenirs from our time there. Thank you for sharing your tea time with me.
I’m British ( scottish) I say scone as in gone...We make a batch every week with sultanas mixed in . Up here we eat them mostly with butter and jam ..but when I was in Cornwall ( in England) we had them with whipped cream and jam ..that and a pot of tea ...heaven ❤️
Jeri, I have been rewatching your beautiful videos on seed starting , which is a balm to my soul as I look out my window at all the snow . Do you have a video that shows where your tomatoes and pumpkins grow amongst your lovely flowers? I'd love to see how to do that. I'm so looking forward to each upcoming video you make ! Have you considered writing a book on creating a " Hopalong Hollow " garden ?
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow i just found you recently and immediately fell in love. I am on my front porch this morning in a little place called flag pond in TN. I wrap up in my throw while enjoying my cup of tea feels like a nice visit with an old friend.
This video was just pure tranquility. Thank you for all your time and effort in creating such beautiful and delightful content. Your channel and your artistry has been so inspiring and uplifting.✨ 🌻✨
I love Charles Dickens! I have sought out and obtained a several of his works. I am always grateful for everything. In a strange way his works open your eyes and makes you thankful for what you do have! Thanks for tea, once again. Truly a joy!
This is my second time having tea with you. I’m now convinced you must be a real life Mrs. Doubtfire for the young of heart. These are so fun and I loved getting to meet your adorable little friends. Thank you for being such a gracious host.
Just found you,and I LOVED the tea party,it is just so relaxing,wish I could of been there to enjoy that tea,loved the tea pot,I love to get them in the antique stores,will keep a look out on the green,I have seen them,till the next tea party,enjoy your life.
This video appeared on my RUclips randomly, so I watched it, being interested in teas and scones. I was so delighted to see your Old Curiosity Shoppe china pieces! My mother had some pieces of this china when I was growing up that she'd gotten at Safeway grocery store. I remember as a girl liking both the color and the pictures. Hers were long gone in the chaos of raising seven children, but years ago I began collecting Old Curiosity myself and now have quite a large collection, which we've used many times for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and other special occasions. I also have a vintage copy of the Dickens book that I display with the china. Thank you for the informative and very pleasant video!
Thanks, Jeri, for your generous information. My daughter and granddaughters love little tea parties. I love this grown up tea “party”. And I will share this with them.
Many things I wish I had asked parents and grandparents while they were still here. I wasn't interested at the time either. Relaxing video, like a step back in time and place.
Richard, I also regret not having asked my dad about his WWII experiences, we are so self- centered in our youth we fail to appreciate the wisdom of our elders.
Richard Eidemiller This is so true .. being raised by my Grandparents little did I know the wealth of knowledge and history that my GF especially tried to pass on through his stories . When he used to talk about our Great Grandmother passing away in Hells Kitchen the Bronx we couldn’t understand why she would be there from RI , turns out she was Anne Marbury Hutchinson killed by Indians and at the time it was Pelham Bay in the 1600’s . Who could imagine that as a kid .
@@Dollgrl1 My mom always told me history was very interesting. I didn't listen. My Grandmother was born in Austria raised in Czechoslovakia and her family was Gypsy. They at one time hid Jewish people from the Germans. She hid in the bowels of a boat at age 16 and came to America to escape abuse. She taught herself English and was fluent in Chech, Russian, Hungarian, German and French. She refused to discuss her family because she was ashamed of the Gypsy life. My grandparents had stamps and letters from all over the world. After they died there was family discord and a lot disappeared. The stories that those letters may have contained. Thanks for sharing your fascinating story. Some day I may try one of the Ancestry sites.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Agreed.I wrote a little below in my response to someone else. I kick myself for not having asked my mom about my grandparents lives after they passed. Now she's gone too.
Enjoyed sharing tea today! Your discussion about pouring cream in the tea reminded me of a story my mother often told me. She was young newly married and had never been to a tea before. She was invited to a ladies tea and dressed up but yet was nervous. As she went down the table to have her tea poured she was met with lemon slices, sugar cubes and cream. Unsure what to do, she added all three to her cup resulting in a curdled mess. She then literally looked for a potted palm to dump it into.
Your channel is the incarnation of everything I love. I am so glad I found you! Your videos are beautiful and sometimes bring me to tears, not for sadness, but for the beauty, love, and tenderness of the moments you record. You create a life of pure bliss in simplicity. Your hand warmers are just the touch. To see your wrinkled hands pouring tea transports me to your home. I so wish I could actually be there. I would love to learn from you embroidery and neddle felting. Thank you for this channel and your videos and for sharing your lovely self with me. Thank you🌹
How very nice, thank you.. These poor old hands would be freezing if not for my hand warmers, but the tea also keeps me warm. So nice to have you here, in our home, in Hopalong Hollow!
Your videos bring me so much nostalgia because my mom used to decorate her house like you do, with all of the old 18th-century decor and texiles and dark colors. It's wonderfully eccentric and unique. She doesn't decorate like that anymore, as it became too much for her to clean, so I miss my early childhood memories in our lovely house.
My mom is 95, and she decorates exactly as I do, but it is very difficult to keep it dusted and clean at her age. I understand your mom having to forego all the beautiful old things.
I made orange scones with clotted cream a couple of years ago and nearly swooned with the first bite! The cream was something so unbelievably delicious. I cannot believe that it is not something eaten worldwide! Thank you for sharing such a relaxing, comforting and beautiful video.
I only recently found out that through DNA that I am mostly French and English! That explains why I have loved everything ENGLISH! Especially tea. I have been collecting tea pots from England but until now a little in the dark about what teas to try. I met a women from Belgium and she told me that the tea you buy at the store is nothing like the loose leaf. So I hunted some down and tried it. I was in love instantly. I love the scones as well. Thank you for your wonderful postings. I'm learning a lot and have been jotting down all the names of the brands of tea. Thank You! Brenda from MO USA
It's in your blood, that love of English, mine too. I discovered my roots through Genealogy and my British heritage is very deep. I agree that once you try the really GOOD teas, you will never drink the other "stuff"!
I agree! The sounds of thing's and the soothing music, adds a great touch! Making you feel, like your...right there! Thank you for sharing All your wonderful video's, with 'us'. Take care. 🌹❣️🌹😀👍
My daughter collected these dishes when she was in her 20's...she has them in green but also in pink. They are wonderful...I am fond of the Currier and Ives blue and white with winter scenes...I collected those in my 40's b/c my mother had them..I think she got them at the grocery store, piece by piece with a minimum weekly purchase. I loved watching your video..it is a work of art, satisfies the soul...I love anything old school, nostalgic or sentimental.. I am rooted in the past with its memories and connections to family that has passed on...especially so this time of year...btw, the scones, tea, clotted cream, all looks delicious...and love the mini tea for your critter creations.
I'm a new subscriber. I stumbled upon your channel and was hooked immediately. I love the beautiful imagery of all your treasures....BUT....I love the sounds of watching what you do too. Your voice is soothing, the imagery takes me to a wonderful place. I love how you use all these gorgeous old treasures. There's just something so grounding and comforting to see these things used as they once were. Sometimes I think we've forgotten how to treat ourselves....and doing things the way you do is surely a visual treat as well. Every frame is magazine worthy....and I have to watch them over and over. Thank you so much for taking the time to put these lovely moments together.
When you set the mini table I was like what in the world then you took the little guys and I was like what!!! That is so cute!!! I love the intro and everything from this video! I sure hope your hubby will share one of your favorite recipes with us 💕 thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year Jeri - I just find it hard to find the right words to describe how your videos make me feel. They are so peaceful, comforting and beautiful and I am so thankful, that I discovered your channel. I make scones myself, but I have never felt the same way as I did watching you make them, The way you gave each ingredient, it's time and importance. I want to be more like that, and your videos are teaching me so much, how this is important. I enjoyed every second of the tea, and I thank you so much for sharing.
Our family from way back just called them biscuits....grew up on them ! What took the cake is the little tea party....oh my, how precious and they must be my cousins. Some day I will tell a story of a little mouse family at Mesa Verda.
Well, we had something similar to scones growing up, also known as biscuits. But scones and biscuits taste quite different from one another as the mixture is slightly varied. Biscuits being light and fluffy, Scones being more dense and sweet.
I'm Devonian and my mum was Cornish. Cream then jam the Devonshire way or jam then cream the Cornish way... either way is great. Your scones turned out proper (good) 😊and your cream looked incredible. Loved your video. Extremely interesting and beautifully done. Thankyou
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow you are most welcome. I forgot to say previously that the addition of your felted friends at their very own tea table was adorable
Can I just say as an English woman who has family from Newlyn & Mousehole in Cornwall that clotted cream was part of my life since being a baby .... it's sublime ... don't just use it on your scones though. .. warm mince pies & clotted cream ... mmmmm ! ... chocolate gateux & clotted cream .... mmmmm ! And .... ice cream & clotted cream side by side ... are a match made in heaven !!! 🍨🍧🍦🍰..... I could go on & on ... & on ! 😉
Sublime is the perfect word for it. I never realized what I'd been missing out on until my first taste of Clotted Cream and can just imagine it on pumpkin pie, tarts and cinnamon toast... yes, you could go on and on!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow ...Apple & Cinnamon pie mmm ... Oh and don't forget our fruit scones .... all with Clotted Cream .... Oh & a good dollop in porridge is yum too ! 😆
I recently discovered your videos and have been going back and watching them. They are so comforting to me in the evenings. So many of your interest are my interest,. So wonderful to know that others share these timeless joys. I have a daily Dickinson devotional that I enjoy on the mornings, his works are glimpses into each of us. Love the felted animals, I have always been draw to fleets items, but your characters are so life like they speak without words. Looking forward to learning more and being inputted by your videos. ♥️
I have never seen frozen butter shaved ! That’s amazing! Also this year I learned about adding a teaspoon or 2 to softened butter mixed well to make perfect gravy ! My new go to- Beurre manié (French "kneaded butter") is a dough, consisting of equal parts by volume of soft butter and flour, used to thicken soups and sauces. By kneading the flour and butter together, the flour particles are coated in butter. PERFECTION
This was so relaxing to view. Thank you for all of the "lessons" on various topics throughout your home and gardens (in other videos). All so inviting. You're a blessing.
How nice. I am down with a cold and this was very nice to watch..I have a milkcow so I will be trying the clotted cream for sure.n I love scones. My sister and I some times meet for midnight tea parties when we can't sleep. We do it up right. It's lovely.
Well, it's been a few months since I first devoured this video, however the memories of scones and clotted cream was irresistible. So here I am, totally enthralled once again, vowing to make the clothes cream and scones.
The history of the green dishes is fascinating! I’ll look more closely for them while antiquing. And the tea sounds delicious- I’m going to order some!
This video is just so dear, everything about it. I love your tea parties especially. I love the care you take with everything, slowing down life just a little to remind us of the beauty still left. Thank you!
Awe, I have the exact same book, The Little English Book of Tea. That is such a coincidence. As a matter of fact, I bought/ ordered this booklet in the USA, during my stay from 1991 until 1995. It is so curious, that I found my love for England, Gardens and all Victorian, my love for Teatime and classich literature, while I stayed in the US. :-) But I also have a few things in my heart, that are "all American" as well. Such as the love for quilting, the country folk art and the apple butter, the mulberry candles and potpourrie. I used to live in Kansas and Kentucky back then. Now I am back in Germany and of course my Little Book of English Teas has a special space in my bookshelf, as well as four years worth of subscribed magazines from Victoria Magazine (90s), countless English books of classical children`s and adult literature and heaps of craft books, magazines on quilting, sewing, knitting, gardens, herbs and so on. I live in an old house, I lovingly call Rose Cottage. So nice to watch your videos and to get a glimps of your life. This is heaven to me. So great to find like minded spirits out there in the www. It is a miracle
Shurlwald Forest, is that as wonderful as it sounds?! Americans love all things Traditional English, for sure. I also have a special interest in German made Antique toys and Christmas Ornaments. Of course I love all the traditional AMerican Crafts as well. It's all good!
You are killing me with those little animals and that miniature table and tea set. I just wanted to feed them a little scone! ❤️❤️❤️. Then give them a little kiss!
Absolutely love your content!! Thank you Jeri!! My mother had this set of dishes that we used as children!! Sure a great reminiscent video for me!! My mama’s favorite color is green as well!
I've read the old curiosity shop. This is a wonderful video. At the beginning when the clock was being wound all I could think of was The Borrowers. Dear Homily, Pod, and Arrietty. Thank you for this.
Just delightful! Made me hungry. Love the Olde Curiosity Shoppe. I visited the actual shop many years ago when it was really a curiosity/ junk shop. So very interesting. I brought a Toby jug home with me. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories from that trip.
I happened on to your channel today. What a treat for my senses! So lovely, quaint and charming! I have been binge watching as I work. God has blessed you with so many wonderful talents! You are gifted indeed! ❤️💕❤️💕
This was so warm and cozy and yummy to watch after a long hard day at work. Thank you and will try this myself. I don’t have a lot of kitchen gadgets so I’m glad you showed how to make by hand. The Old Curiosity Shop is on of my favorites and really fit into your china and scones.
What a wonderful video , thank you , love your channel ! A warm tea , fresh scones , a vintage edition book, sitting by the fireplace or with lit candles ❤️😊. I treat myself like this few times a week and I enjoy every moment of it.
I loved this video so much, I am from Arkansas and right now we are living in Japan because of my husband's job. I miss home so very much and this reminds me of my childhood. My mom loves to garden and cook and so does my grandma. Thank you so much for this cozy video, it felt so personal and warm and welcoming! God Bless! ♥️😊
The food, gardens and culture must feel very different in Japan from what you grew up with; so very glad that we could bring a bit of old home coziness to your day!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Yes it is, it's an amazing experience! We really love Japan, but nothing beats home. 😍 Thanks again for this amazing video, new sub here! 😊
Hello Jeri this is my second video of watching your channel. Your absolutely adorable I love English stuff also. I think from what I’ve seen so far your home is just as special as your videos. Love that I stumbled on your video and now your have a big fan in New Jersey 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
BTW, I love your little friends who had tea with you. I wish I could've seen you eat your scones with the clotted cream and drink that amazing tea, though. It's so satisfying to see people enjoying their meals.
Jeri, I have been looking at all your previous videos they give me such a cozy feeling. I have also learned to appreciate all my old things I have. Most of all I have learned so much from you on how to decorate with the things I already have. I have bought some of the teas you recommended and they are perfect for a cold Winter day. Thank you so much and I hope you put out another video soon. Have a wonderful weekend.
So nice to hear that some of my ideas are being put to use for you.I've been working on a video for a few days now, Planning a Colonial Herb Garden and serving Colonial Tea., it should be fun>
I love how you let the natural sounds of everything come thru. Please don't ever change any of your videos. They are peaceful and relaxing.

I kept pronouncing it both ways, but whatever we call them, the best description is YUMMY!

She was invited to a ladies tea and dressed up but yet was nervous. As she went down the table to have her tea poured she was met with lemon slices, sugar cubes and cream. Unsure what to do, she added all three to her cup resulting in a curdled mess. She then literally looked for a potted palm to dump it into.
Your poor mother! I wonder how many women noticed her Faux pas; it is a darling story.
Lovley...and the mice were adorable!
Your channel is the incarnation of everything I love. I am so glad I found you! Your videos are beautiful and sometimes bring me to tears, not for sadness, but for the beauty, love, and tenderness of the moments you record. You create a life of pure bliss in simplicity. Your hand warmers are just the touch. To see your wrinkled hands pouring tea transports me to your home. I so wish I could actually be there. I would love to learn from you embroidery and neddle felting. Thank you for this channel and your videos and for sharing your lovely self with me. Thank you🌹
How very nice, thank you.. These poor old hands would be freezing if not for my hand warmers, but the tea also keeps me warm. So nice to have you here, in our home, in Hopalong Hollow!
Such a relaxing and soothing video, Jeri your voice is perfect as narrator
So glad you're getting back in the garden! Charley is just the sweetest wee lad.
Delightful! Comforting and so welcoming.
This was incredible 😍❤️ She should run a bed and breakfast and have cooking classes with tea at the end!! Very relaxing and enjoyable video!!👍💞
I agree Candice ! : )
I’d come for that.
Your videos bring me so much nostalgia because my mom used to decorate her house like you do, with all of the old 18th-century decor and texiles and dark colors. It's wonderfully eccentric and unique. She doesn't decorate like that anymore, as it became too much for her to clean, so I miss my early childhood memories in our lovely house.
My mom is 95, and she decorates exactly as I do, but it is very difficult to keep it dusted and clean at her age. I understand your mom having to forego all the beautiful old things.
What a lovely clock, decor, and set up you have!
I had this dish set, my Mother got it for her wedding. I passed it down to one of my nieces a few years ago. I loved it and used it daily for years.
Wonderful!
I absolutely love the piano music in this video!
Oh my, Jeri. You made this look absolutely mesmerizing!
I made orange scones with clotted cream a couple of years ago and nearly swooned with the first bite! The cream was something so unbelievably delicious. I cannot believe that it is not something eaten worldwide!
Thank you for sharing such a relaxing, comforting and beautiful video.
I agree, why isn't this marvelous concoction more readily available in the states?!
My mother had that tableware. Brings back wonderful memories. I never knew what it was called. She was an elegant hostess too.
How nice it would be if you had a few of her pieces...
Pure Loveliness‼️‼️‼️Thank you for sharing and being a treasure😊❤️
I only recently found out that through DNA that I am mostly French and English! That explains why I have loved everything ENGLISH! Especially tea. I have been collecting tea pots from England but until now a little in the dark about what teas to try. I met a women from Belgium and she told me that the tea you buy at the store is nothing like the loose leaf. So I hunted some down and tried it. I was in love instantly. I love the scones as well. Thank you for your wonderful postings. I'm learning a lot and have been jotting down all the names of the brands of tea. Thank You!
Brenda from MO USA
It's in your blood, that love of English, mine too. I discovered my roots through Genealogy and my British heritage is very deep. I agree that once you try the really GOOD teas, you will never drink the other "stuff"!
I love how you use those glass chicken dishes! I have seen them as collections but never used. :) This was a beautiful tea party
They have so many uses and come in several sizes/
I agree! The sounds of thing's and the soothing music, adds a great touch! Making you feel, like your...right there! Thank you for sharing All your wonderful video's, with 'us'. Take care. 🌹❣️🌹😀👍
My daughter collected these dishes when she was in her 20's...she has them in green but also in pink. They are wonderful...I am fond of the Currier and Ives blue and white with winter scenes...I collected those in my 40's b/c my mother had them..I think she got them at the grocery store, piece by piece with a minimum weekly purchase. I loved watching your video..it is a work of art, satisfies the soul...I love anything old school, nostalgic or sentimental.. I am rooted in the past with its memories and connections to family that has passed on...especially so this time of year...btw, the scones, tea, clotted cream, all looks delicious...and love the mini tea for your critter creations.
We are kindreds in the appreciation of the old ways and a keeping of the past. My house is full of History
My Mom collected the Courier and Ives also!! She collected hers from the A&P store !!
Thank you such a sweet afternoon visit. Love the friends who shared tea.
I'm a new subscriber. I stumbled upon your channel and was hooked immediately.
I love the beautiful imagery of all your treasures....BUT....I love the sounds of watching what you do too. Your voice is soothing, the imagery takes me to a wonderful place. I love how you use all these gorgeous old treasures. There's just something so grounding and comforting to see these things used as they once were.
Sometimes I think we've forgotten how to treat ourselves....and doing things the way you do is surely a visual treat as well.
Every frame is magazine worthy....and I have to watch them over and over. Thank you so much for taking the time to put these lovely moments together.
Thank you Annie. I love using the old kitchen implements, they make each task seem so deliberate and slightly artistic.
When you set the mini table I was like what in the world then you took the little guys and I was like what!!! That is so cute!!! I love the intro and everything from this video! I sure hope your hubby will share one of your favorite recipes with us 💕 thanks for sharing!
Those little tykes love to have tea. I may have to make husbands wonderful chowder, it's pretty easy.
I've never seen clotted cream made thanks for the insight
Can’t believe my eyeballs, Charles Dickens is still alive and kicking! Love you Mr Dickens❤️
Me Too!
Happy New Year Jeri - I just find it hard to find the right words to describe how your videos make me feel. They are so peaceful, comforting and beautiful and I am so thankful, that I discovered your channel. I make scones myself, but I have never felt the same way as I did watching you make them, The way you gave each ingredient, it's time and importance. I want to be more like that, and your videos are teaching me so much, how this is important. I enjoyed every second of the tea, and I thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! I really did have a marvelous time making the scones and cream, it felt like a work of art somehow.
Love all of the sounds
Thank you for a lovely time❤️
Our family from way back just called them biscuits....grew up on them ! What took the cake is the little tea party....oh my, how precious and they must be my cousins. Some day I will tell a story of a little mouse family at Mesa Verda.
Well, we had something similar to scones growing up, also known as biscuits. But scones and biscuits taste quite different from one another as the mixture is slightly varied. Biscuits being light and fluffy, Scones being more dense and sweet.
I'm Devonian and my mum was Cornish. Cream then jam the Devonshire way or jam then cream the Cornish way... either way is great. Your scones turned out proper (good) 😊and your cream looked incredible. Loved your video. Extremely interesting and beautifully done. Thankyou
That means a lot coming from someone who knows about it firsthand, thank you!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow you are most welcome. I forgot to say previously that the addition of your felted friends at their very own tea table was adorable
Sweet and lovely tea with friends!!! 🍰🙏😇😘🙋
Beautiful ❤
Oh my goodness, I'm drooling over here.... That looks soooooooooooooooo good.
I love how you set a place for us at your table. It’s as if we are there, enjoying the tranquility and tea with you. Thank you. 😊
I like to think that you ARE here, having tea with me.
Can I just say as an English woman who has family from Newlyn & Mousehole in Cornwall that clotted cream was part of my life since being a baby .... it's sublime ... don't just use it on your scones though. .. warm mince pies & clotted cream ... mmmmm ! ... chocolate gateux & clotted cream .... mmmmm ! And .... ice cream & clotted cream side by side ... are a match made in heaven !!! 🍨🍧🍦🍰..... I could go on & on ... & on ! 😉
Sublime is the perfect word for it. I never realized what I'd been missing out on until my first taste of Clotted Cream and can just imagine it on pumpkin pie, tarts and cinnamon toast... yes, you could go on and on!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow ...Apple & Cinnamon pie mmm ... Oh and don't forget our fruit scones .... all with Clotted Cream .... Oh & a good dollop in porridge is yum too ! 😆
I recently discovered your videos and have been going back and watching them. They are so comforting to me in the evenings. So many of your interest are my interest,. So wonderful to know that others share these timeless joys. I have a daily Dickinson devotional that I enjoy on the mornings, his works are glimpses into each of us. Love the felted animals, I have always been draw to fleets items, but your characters are so life like they speak without words. Looking forward to learning more and being inputted by your videos. ♥️
Dickens was such an incredible story teller, I never tire if his wonderful works. So glad you are enjoying the videos!
2020 Blessings just loved this vlog on a lazy New Year's Eve day..Thank You Jeri for sharing your passion of gardening and antiques.🌹
I will continue to do so in this new year, so appreciate your visits!
I have never seen frozen butter shaved ! That’s amazing! Also this year I learned about adding a teaspoon or 2 to softened butter mixed well to make perfect gravy ! My new go to- Beurre manié (French "kneaded butter") is a dough, consisting of equal parts by volume of soft butter and flour, used to thicken soups and sauces. By kneading the flour and butter together, the flour particles are coated in butter.
PERFECTION
Delightful video. You live a magical life. I always feel like I’ve visited an enchanted place. Thank you for your videos.
This was so relaxing to view. Thank you for all of the "lessons" on various topics throughout your home and gardens (in other videos). All so inviting. You're a blessing.
As a Dicken"s fan, I just loved everything about this video!
How relaxing is the atmosphere in your home, ideal for a delicious cup of lemon or apple tea to relax. 😌☕
👋🏼🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱😄😄😄
How nice. I am down with a cold and this was very nice to watch..I have a milkcow so I will be trying the clotted cream for sure.n I love scones. My sister and I some times meet for midnight tea parties when we can't sleep. We do it up right. It's lovely.
Midnight tea parties ,that sounds like fun!
Wow! Scones look so wonderful. Beautiful table setting.
Well, it's been a few months since I first devoured this video, however the memories of scones and clotted cream was irresistible. So here I am, totally enthralled once again, vowing to make the clothes cream and scones.
The history of the green dishes is fascinating! I’ll look more closely for them while antiquing. And the tea sounds delicious- I’m going to order some!
I just love every video you've ever did jeri they do my heart good thank you 💕
I am half English I have never heard of this before - how fun and everything was just a delight to watch. Your the best!!
I hadn't either until a few years ago, now I'm a huge fan of these foods.
I love the little guests!!!
Better than meditating to escape the world...thanks for the beautiful break.....
This video is just so dear, everything about it. I love your tea parties especially. I love the care you take with everything, slowing down life just a little to remind us of the beauty still left. Thank you!
And I thank you for watching and appreciating quiet moments, taking tea, and reading Dickens.
Slept like a baby.... whew I needed that nap. Thank you.
I always loved The Old Curiosity Shop dishware, and inherited a few pieces from my grandmother.
Excellent !💜💟💜
Awe, I have the exact same book, The Little English Book of Tea. That is such a coincidence. As a matter of fact, I bought/ ordered this booklet in the USA, during my stay from 1991 until 1995. It is so curious, that I found my love for England, Gardens and all Victorian, my love for Teatime and classich literature, while I stayed in the US. :-) But I also have a few things in my heart, that are "all American" as well. Such as the love for quilting, the country folk art and the apple butter, the mulberry candles and potpourrie. I used to live in Kansas and Kentucky back then. Now I am back in Germany and of course my Little Book of English Teas has a special space in my bookshelf, as well as four years worth of subscribed magazines from Victoria Magazine (90s), countless English books of classical children`s and adult literature and heaps of craft books, magazines on quilting, sewing, knitting, gardens, herbs and so on.
I live in an old house, I lovingly call Rose Cottage. So nice to watch your videos and to get a glimps of your life. This is heaven to me. So great to find like minded spirits out there in the www. It is a miracle
Shurlwald Forest, is that as wonderful as it sounds?!
Americans love all things Traditional English, for sure. I also have a special interest in German made Antique toys and Christmas Ornaments. Of course I love all the traditional AMerican Crafts as well. It's all good!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow You said it :-D
We had that dish set growing up! I remember I always wanted the bowl with the face in it!❤️
You are killing me with those little animals and that miniature table and tea set. I just wanted to feed them a little scone! ❤️❤️❤️.
Then give them a little kiss!
Those little mice invited all the cousins to help clean up the table afterwards!
Everything you do is beautiful. Thank you for sharing yourself with my world!
You are so welcome!
Absolutely love your content!! Thank you Jeri!! My mother had this set of dishes that we used as children!! Sure a great reminiscent video for me!! My mama’s favorite color is green as well!
You are so welcome!
I've read the old curiosity shop. This is a wonderful video. At the beginning when the clock was being wound all I could think of was The Borrowers. Dear Homily, Pod, and Arrietty. Thank you for this.
Many thanks!
Just delightful! Made me hungry. Love the Olde Curiosity Shoppe. I visited the actual shop many years ago when it was really a curiosity/ junk shop. So very interesting. I brought a Toby jug home with me. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories from that trip.
This was enjoyable sure they are very good💕
Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy 2020! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️
I happened on to your channel today. What a treat for my senses! So lovely, quaint and charming! I have been binge watching as I work. God has blessed you with so many wonderful talents! You are gifted indeed! ❤️💕❤️💕
Thank you so much, delighted to welcome you here!
This was so warm and cozy and yummy to watch after a long hard day at work. Thank you and will try this myself. I don’t have a lot of kitchen gadgets so I’m glad you showed how to make by hand. The Old Curiosity Shop is on of my favorites and really fit into your china and scones.
I just love love love it. Beautiful video again. Happy new year.
What a wonderful video , thank you , love your channel ! A warm tea , fresh scones , a vintage edition book, sitting by the fireplace or with lit candles ❤️😊. I treat myself like this few times a week and I enjoy every moment of it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this video so much, I am from Arkansas and right now we are living in Japan because of my husband's job. I miss home so very much and this reminds me of my childhood. My mom loves to garden and cook and so does my grandma. Thank you so much for this cozy video, it felt so personal and warm and welcoming! God Bless! ♥️😊
The food, gardens and culture must feel very different in Japan from what you grew up with; so very glad that we could bring a bit of old home coziness to your day!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Yes it is, it's an amazing experience! We really love Japan, but nothing beats home. 😍
Thanks again for this amazing video, new sub here! 😊
I am having tea with you and Charles D. Love the scones and clotted cream! Blessed and safe days!
Those scones and cream were one of the best things I ever made!
Another lovely afternoon tea party.
Holy COW. I love this tea!!!🥰❤❤❤
Hello Jeri this is my second video of watching your channel. Your absolutely adorable I love English stuff also. I think from what I’ve seen so far your home is just as special as your videos. Love that I stumbled on your video and now your have a big fan in New Jersey 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Welcome to Hopalong Hollow!
Thanks too you 🌸🌼🌹
BTW, I love your little friends who had tea with you. I wish I could've seen you eat your scones with the clotted cream and drink that amazing tea, though. It's so satisfying to see people enjoying their meals.
I was ravenous that day... it would have been a sight!
I have just become acquainted with your videos. I love them especially your homey ones. Reminds me very much of Tasha Tudor
Very fond of the late Tasha Tudor and her marvelous lifestyle, art and gardens....
Jeri, I have been looking at all your previous videos they give me such a cozy feeling. I have also learned to appreciate all my old things I have. Most of all I have learned so much from you on how to decorate with the things I already have. I have bought some of the teas you recommended and they are perfect for a cold Winter day. Thank you so much and I hope you put out another video soon. Have a wonderful weekend.
So nice to hear that some of my ideas are being put to use for you.I've been working on a video for a few days now, Planning a Colonial Herb Garden and serving Colonial Tea., it should be fun>
I will be looking forward to that, I love colonial.
