Minerva ... Roman goddess of wisdom, medicine, commerce, handicrafts, poetry, the arts in general.

[@beverlybranam2192]

Pretty cool name choice! I can hear the segway...Minerva, with cheeky comments, historical facts and observations! Could be great fun..as long as she doesn't go creepy "Chucky" on us..lol!

[@Sifinds]

Very good! I like it!!!

[@NinfaCarpentergeorgia198]

@@beverlybranam2192 I think Si would be missing out if he didn’t include the creepy factor on occasion.

Yes, and Mini for short! But she did freak me out. Lurking around, popping up when I least expected her to. 😱😂

[@trueherbsman]

hope she gets on Minerva!

[@machellep1]

I absolutely love the fact you show us the clean up. Most don’t. And the up cycling is a great bonus.

Thanks !

The cat head was the find of the day 😆

[@dudley8671]

It was! 😀

[@softMietzy]

Matilda, a lovely comforting name for someone lost so long ago.

[@allenhonaker4107]

Here's a suggestion for you. Collect up various size Victorian bottle stoppers. Use them to make molds. Cast acrylic stoppers for the bottles that are missing them. Remember to apply parting compound to the molds.

[@Sifinds]

Good idea

Peanut butter and banana sandwich. 😊 I loved watching your digging. Cool finds... even the snake skin!🐍

Yes carb tastic! Thank you! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

Best sandwich filling has to be crunchy peanut butter and banana. Absolutely lush!!

[@candywonka81]

The new doll co-host reminds me so much of an old cartoon, Madeleine. Or MUDeleine suits her more.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

It is so strange we have found so many of the same things haha! We have that exact cat head (made Halloween decoration with a cast of it) I also found that regimental pipe and Kate has found a similar heart stopper. Obviously very jealous of the complete doll's head! Beautiful resin bottles! Such a great dump site :)

[@bevannamagicalraggybear8727]

Aww Kit and Caboodles would love that. dolls head, they've been looking for a full head forever . Great finds.. New subby.

[@paulapridy6804]

In America, Jello is a gelatine dessert. Raspberry jam is raspberry jam. We are more likely to put peanut butter on the other half of the sandwich. Maybe with banana and/or marshmallow fluff. Elvis Presley added pickles. We don't have 'brown sauce'.

[@dannykirton6445]

Wow those bottles in the resin look really cool, Is there no end to Si's talents ?.

[@anastasiarose9003]

I love that you repair and upcycle your finds.

[@SeventhEve]

In America, Jell-O is the name brand of what you call "jelly" - a gelatin dessert. We use the word "jelly" to describe a jam that has had all the pulp strained out, usually grape or strawberry. Jam and preserves are the same thing over here as they are over in the UK.

[@Sifinds]

Cool beans. Thank you! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@deborahmartin9682]

You are so creative! The little bottles are exquisite 💕

[@donnalieblick8478]

[@christinechapdelaine7104]

I find Vicky suits her just fine. Thanks for all the videos. Cheers

[@TheTonialadd]

You’re so fortunate to have access to all of that wonderful history. And we’re fortunate for the internet! What did we ever do before it???

[@yvonnepagan9912]

I totally agree! Just imagine the pioneers. Chock full of determination to tame their new world, armed only with a pick axe, a horse and a few hand tools. No close neighbours, no means of knowing what’s going on out in the world, just trying to make a living out their little plot of land. Time goes by, lots and lots of time, and we find one of their old tools and can’t fathom how they did it at all, just getting by. They were the beginnings of this now, marvellous world we live in. Every single person had a hand in what we have now. Amazing, isn’t it, if you care to think about it deeply. I’m a bit of a deep thinker. YP, Melbourne, Australia

[@mattw4547]

Oh yes Dolly, you are the ideal host. Nelson can do the camera work. What a great crew Si 😃

[@amywright2243]

My favorite "sandwich" was from my childhood. We'd visit my grandparents for Sunday dinner and there would always be a big bowl of pinto beans. Afterwards we'd play for hours while the adults visited. Then late afternoon, we'd slip in the kitchen for a slice of white bread folded in half with a scoop of cold pinto beans spread in it. Delicious! Slightly better than a cold mashed potatoes sandwich. 🥰

[@vivienanderson603]

Try chicken with sage and onion stuffing - very festive just now 😋😋

[@Sifinds]

Oh yes, lovely!

[@Pluggit1953]

Yeh, with cranberry sauce.

[@susantaylor4340]

The resin bottles would look great in a heart mold for Valentine's day and a tree mold for Christmas.

[@juliet5114]

Oh gosh 😲, you gentlemen were so lucky to find your victorian dolls heads complete 🙌🏻. Most mudlarkers find "bits"...an ear here, a nose and cheek there, maybe a little bit of mouth with some spooky teeth. You've hit the "mother load" with those👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. 🤔 I like Molly for her name🤷🏼‍♀️...maybe Miss Molly McMudd? Those resin bottles came out FABULOUS, Simon👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻, and the advertisement labels REALLY brought the stoneware bottles to life🙌🏻. Like traveling back in time 😉. Thanks for the outing with Tim, my friend 😊. Kitty hugs to Nelson/ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\😽.

[@Sifinds]

Thank you Juliet! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@owlfethurz8377]

So much to love about this video: Creepy doll's head, cheese and brown sauce sandwiches, beautiful resin crafting of the bottles...but I can't leave out Nelson sharpening his claws and saying "Hello Mudlovers" in cat language! Also, I realized how slow I am on the uptake: just "got" why you chose the 48 recording of "Bits and Pieces" to showcase your finds. LOL!!!

[@Fees-Shed]

Ps. “Spoon cousin?” So it’s not just our family that use that quote from Prince of Thieves 🤣🤣🤣

[@Sifinds]

Haha, you got the reference! I wonder if anyone would... lol good on you x

[@Fees-Shed]

No one, but no one can say Spoon in our house without the reference made, and we have loads of films like that. If hubby is digging a hole, he will reach 800 feet 🙄 lol 😂

[@Lagomorphis]

I thought the name "Eartha" would suit the doll's head. This name is taken from the singer Eartha Kitt. It dawned on me that this name would probably be better suited to the multi pronged fork that Tim gave you.

[@Sifinds]

Nice!

Thanks Si and Tim. Very cool resin art. Are we naming the doll head? A lot of pre war girls named theirs Molly. Vicky for Victorian doll. Diana goddess of the hunt. Here's a mold tip.( I make soap.) Put the mold on a baking tray. That way you can move it anytime without disturbing the contents.😉💜

My father would eat peanut butter with pancake syrup stirred together and put it on Ritz crackers. This was usually after supper when he wanted a sweet and there was no dessert. He still eats a lot of peanut butter; he is 80 and looks 20yrs younger. We laugh and say it is the peanut butter that has kept him youthful!
