[@lindacampbell2329]

Hello Michelle wow those are really nice cups and saucers you acquired I love them and you are going to use the ball book a lot so sweet of Gerald to get that for you many hours of enjoyment there in that book . You are so blessed to have such a thoughtful husband . Say hi to Josh keep the vlogs coming I’m enjoying them

The tea cups and saucers are absolutely lovely! Royal Crest China is a favourite vintage collectible! If you're ever interested in matching the patterns, there are other pieces you could add to your collection. I'm sorry about your jelly. Recently, I made rosehip and grape jelly using a tried and true recipe but my jelly didn't solidify either. I can't explain or understand why it didn't work. So I tried again with berries and beet juice but that didn't work either. It's a mystery. Maybe Certo changed the formula?!?! Anyway, I swirled my failure into homemade ice cream and added some to banana smoothies. Like you, I don't like wasting food. Thanks Michelle! 🫖🍵

Really enjoying your channel, Michelle! I started gardening and preserving after retirement; it's a wonderful hobby and the Bernardin book is my favourite go-to source! Have fun 😊❤

[@MichelletheIntrovert]

Thanks, Jacqueline. It's very relaxing to garden and preserving definitely makes one feel very productive. What are a couple of recipes that you really like from the book? 😀

[@jacquelinerWQ]

@@MichelletheIntrovert I like the cucumber relish, the cranberry sauce and simple canned peaches. Some hot pepper relishes in the book are also nice 🙂. Have fun with it, Michelle!

Hi Monica 👋 They are sooo beautiful. I am so grateful for such a gift 🎁.

Wonder if the "jelly" would be good as syrup on pancakes/french toast?

[@MichelletheIntrovert]

I think 🤔 that's a terrific idea. Thank you 😊.

For the grape jelly I would pour the liquid in a saucepan and use 1 pkg of certo. I have had jelly not set up before also. And that is how I fixed it.

[@MichelletheIntrovert]

That's a great 👍 idea, Catherine. I think 🤔 that I will try that. Thanks so much 😀

I would use the grape "jelly" as ice-cream topper,or for pancakes ect ...for future use the two places I have seen kool aid in the last while is The great canadain dollar store and also carls store in tusket carries a variety of powdered Kool aid as well , those tea cups are beautiful what a wonderful gift 🎉

[@MichelletheIntrovert]

Oh, thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it. 😀 Thank you also for the great ideas for the use of the grape 🍇 jelly. That's terrific. 😀

@@MichelletheIntrovert you could even use a teaspoon or two if you were making smoothies as well

[@MichelletheIntrovert]

That would be delicious. Thank 😊.
