Ep.23 I cant believe what I FOUND inside!

[@clairetravers2400]

OMG. I’m an English Teacher - there are a couple of hundred people out there who would love a Penguin series. The Flour one would make the best book end on a shelf, so many possibilities! My favourite video so far. You’ll struggle to stock enough in the Pottage for sure. You are such a well deserved success story. You go girl!

I have literally never been more GREEN WITH ENVY IN MY LIFE!!!😭😭😭 Those bad boys are COVETED and I can see why. I am so glad you got those, so happy to see you get such a gem of a mold.

[@khills]

I am, as a matter of fact, one of those people who sprinkles wildflower seeds from a shaker - and I’d absolutely love a ceramic shaker I could refill!

18:27 the penguin book looks incredible. You should create a full library with the blank ones. They’ll sell so fast

[@LindaLRosario]

True❤

[@MyCatIsSnoring]

I'm a librarian and love that homey vintage aesthetic so I would actually lose my mind if I had something like this in my kitchen.

[@LindaLRosario]

Me too❤

[@vagabondrabbit]

Graduating with my MLIS this fall and I want to buy these for myself as a graduation present.. lol

[@janiexoxo]

I’m a librarian too! I’d kill for these for the library and my kitchen

[@Guy-uy5gc]

They turned out lovely, the largest canister , I would use it as a kitchen tool jar with the small ones on each side

[@micheledickey4066]

Great idea!!!!

[@kariramsey_]

Yes! That would be perfect!

[@rachelmick4051]

These may be my very favorite thing you have ever done in a video!!! They are wonderful and your designs are beautiful!!!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Wow thank you! Yes I don’t actually know if I could make something better! They are just so glorious!! I’m hoping one day I can come across the tea canister and the lid for the flour jar! Maybe one day!

[@kvc9958]

I agree!

[@laurenwright5609]

I love❤the Persuasion/ Salt book!

[@NormanMorris-n4r]

hi Shelby, the size range went from Bread/Cakes, Biscuits, Flour, Sugar, Coffee, Tea then your Salt and Pepper. i personally haven't seen this mould set since the 90s when a lady in the swan hill area had her own ceramics shop and painting group.

[@rebeccalampiasi]

If anyone has any leads on anywhere to find this mould set, please share! I would absolutely sell my soul for this!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Yesss oh gosh I would love to finish this set 😅😅

[@eileenbartnick7202]

Hello! With the one that has a crack, you could just use a plastic container, even a cheap Rubbermaid - type, that could hold water so you can still use it for flowers!! Love all your "fabric" sides, SO cute!!! I'll bet you will be making many more of the small books, they will be fun to label for so many things!!!

[@ShelbySherritt]

That is so smart 😂 I wish I thought of that!! I think I might have to get one ❤

[@gayledeacon2203]

You could also use it as a plantar and the crack becomes a drainage hole.

[@Alinor24]

​@@gayledeacon2203 I thought that too. It seems small enough so the dirt would stay in.

[@punkangel8187]

I think a neat design for these would be making them look like spellbooks and maybe even using the gold luster on the words on the spine would be really pretty. I would love to have these in that kind of design for my own kitchen. Absolutely beautiful!

[@socialmisfit79]

Also, I would love to see some of these made for spooky season! They could have some Halloween themes with witchy recipes!

[@LothlorienOH]

💜great idea!💜

[@flanaganamy1375]

I was thinking spell book as well 🖤

[@Nerdingwithmama]

The blank mini books could also be the cutest little Posie holders or trinket holders, or a bookmark holder! If you cut off the top!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Yessss omg I didn’t show those in this video!! I made some up without the top so you can put flowers in them! They are actually out at The Pottage ❤

[@laregimbal]

11:40 Holy crap! I've had that spice jar set for 30 years! I've never ever heard anyone mention it before!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sherry-lynnzwaan1432]

Welcome Back. Oh, how I've missed you Shelby!

[@ShelbySherritt]

I’ve missed you all too 😢 I missed having our lovely conversations about pottery and life together!

[@kvc9958]

Me too... Missed you much.

[@emilyb6002]

I audibly gasped when you revealed the Jane Austen one. I would by a full collection like that. They are stunning. I hope you use dried flowers in the flour one, it will look fantastic in the Pottage. And I really hope to see more on the website. Maybe the little ones could be done as a paint your own set? So happy to see you back

[@pamauger9665]

Welcome back! A though: use a copper pipe to make the holes so that they are always as consistent as you can make them, rather than carve them out by hand. You can get all sizes, cut some 3 inch long pieces and use them like cookie cutters to make the holes.

[@ShelbySherritt]

Love this! We actually have a bunch of hole cutters, that’s what I meant by inconsistency, sometimes our cut goes a bit wider or on an angle ❤

[@mudokongrl9463]

Those all came out so pretty! Maybe use dried flowers in the broken one? Or use another vessel to put inside it for fresh flowers? They're honestly all beautiful as just display :)

[@ShelbySherritt]

Yess that’s what I thought! The flour one that says ‘flour arranging’ makes so much more sense as a display than the others so I love that!! I just hope I can find the tea cannister down the line!

[@MissLalabelle]

The books would be such a good vase to decorate a bookshelf omg Also : first!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Yes omg! Like a big book end full of flowers!!! I love it so much

[@nancyjohnson50]

You can put kitchen utensils in the one you wanted for flowers! Adorable!

[@judysocal8682]

If it is like most canister sets there should be a tea canister after the coffee one. Your decorations are always so sweet

[@angelickaveach]

Looked it up online and there is a tea one.

[@leesie156]

For a quick "fix" for putting flowers in find a glass jar that fits and place them in there, usually the jar remains unnoticed. Love the books, would definitely have a place in my collection!

[@atlantageorgia6629]

I am so pleased with your book collection, they turned out so lovely. My favorite was the penguin edition of Persuasion. Not only is Jane Austen on of my favorite authors, but also my grandmother used to make a living from translating English into German after WWII. Her versions of several Austen books were published and reading them is like having my grandmother telling my the stories of my favorite author. 😊 All these book designs were so sweet and well done, that jar collection is something I would be hunting after to have at home.

[@ShelbySherritt]

Oh my gosh, this is such a special story!! Thank you so much for sharing that with us and the connection you have with this piece ❤

[@foolishmortal6590]

These are stunning and I adore them! I think these molds would be great candidates for gold lustre. Details on the spine, the covers, maybe even some of the pages at the back, like old fancy books with gold on the outside. So delighted to see this series return, btw. I love that the Pottage has taken off for you, and have been happy to wait for the return of the series. You definitely came back with a bang!

[@kellypatterson4412]

They're all absolutely adorable! Love the colors you chose. Seeds like poppies, pansies, and snap dragons are tiny like pepper flakes.

[@Brenilla]

THIS is so cutE! For the spice village, the old ones will likely stay the same or go down a little in price. But thats likely because the high prices are likely collectors vs people that want to use them as regular kitchen decor. Because its historically valuable still. Assuming the new village will have a defining mark for the rerelese

[@ShelbySherritt]

Yes that’s what I’m thinking! Because the OGs are still the originals! I wonder whether they will make some changes to them or add extra spices and things! I’m so curious!!

[@peggybadour182]

I would love to see a bookshelf collection of the mini book spice shakers with gold page edges! Epic!

[@LindaLRosario]

So elegant 😊

[@kreativ.artina]

Wow I love this series. My favourite bookcover is the blue coffee one. It looks like a quilt design to me.

[@cherisserich4912]

I would collect the heck out of those books! I would also totally paint them myself, so cute!!

[@megank7235]

If that's what I'm thinking of this is massive for a mystery mould. My soul has been after for a set for years.

[@ShelbySherritt]

Huge!!! A mystery mould series!!

[@BookwormWoes]

It's amazing that this video came out around the same time as the announcement from Lenox about releasing a version 2 of the spice village! Anyway, as a bookworm I am OBSESSED with these! especially the herb shakers, if I could have like 10 of those to design for my main herbs I would be so happy!

On the subject of the pottage I wish I was closer to you I would be there all the time creating!
