The History of MacKenzie-Childs

[@gwenziegler3593]

Can you please share with us where to find your current works of art?

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Yes, Gwen … actually, it is written in the description (when video is running look just below on the right and you will see a wee upward pointing arrow. Click it and there you will find pertinent information. But to save you the step, it is found at : victoriaandrichardemprise.com I shall pin this to the top so others might see it.

[@lorenedixon8024]

I just want to say that I love everything about you, your life, and story. You are an amazing woman and artist, thank you for sharing that with all of us. Fondly, Lorene Mackenzie

[@c.schaeffer6733]

Thank you for every thing you share. I love your story and thoughtful meaning behind it. My mom wrote you a letter long ago about how she used your pottery, tiles to decorate her kitchen. You then invited her to visit your carriage house for a night. I was lucky enough to go along. You also invited us to a tour of your home. It was magical as were you and Richard, so humble and kind, I remember being GG luster and she'd tears thanking you because it meant so much to us. You added beauty, whimsy and love of your art to our homes. Thank you for adding light and brightness to so many hearts!

[@DD-hy1nl]

I really enjoy when you go back to your old house and tell us your stories. That house which is no longer yours and Richards, is well taken care of. And it is well preserved with all your wonderful works of MCKC art. I love the painted story carpet on that old wooden floor, such great memories for you. The broken pottery half wall is something so unique only you and Richard could think up!..Victoria, I love when you show us this home, and the surroundings of beautiful land. Such a magical place with so much history of your art. Thanks again for sharing part of your life with us.

[@diannhoyt1844]

Words cannot express how deeply moved I am by this powerful expression of love you and Richard have for your daughter. A spider’s web turns to lace through a child’s eyes and humble clay becomes a work of art through the hands of the potter. I found myself being very cynical today for some reason but after this beautiful message I will try to see more “lace” and be willing to allow the Potter to continue molding me into the person He desires me to be. Thank you so much!

[@Valerie__22]

What an interesting little visit you’ve given us today! The charm and warmth of those unique details give an already lovely home, such a happy personality all its own! The storybook floor, and the potters wall make us want to linger and imagine... Thank you dear Victoria.

[@marjoriedooley1096]

What a fabulous story of one aspect of your former beautiful home. The detailing, design and colour and the story on the floor boards is testament to your creativity and Oneness. I had written stories on walls before wallpapering and when uncovered years later was so emotional. I have a feeling that the house will return to Heather and her family one day. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you 😘❤️

[@chowceo]

So excited to see your beautiful former home. You are a beautiful human being. I remember visiting your home when you had the studio on the side and purchased an Italian clay urn, you were there talking to all the visitors and you signed the urn ⚱️ I loved meeting you 🌹 I love the painting on the left at the foot of the staircase. It’s a remarkable resemblance to you as a child 💓 especially as you stood right next to it 🌹

[@sandrabrown6326]

Victoria, the floor you painted just beautiful. I just love it and the broken pottery. A great ideal and what memories it must have brought you all when you lived there. Your spider lace story that Heather saw reminds me of when I was a small child. In Arkansas the weather is so cold in the winter. I used to climb upon top of our washing machine curl up as best as I could, the warmth was wonderful, and I would watch this spider every day on the outside of the windowpane. She had a little sack, and I am assuming it was baby spiders. I think back on so many memories from the first home that I lived in. I sure hope you post more videos of your home. I loved it.

[@Katsem]

I loved this video. The floor is magic, and the way you preserved the shards of your pottery left from the fire was brilliant. But then, you are brilliant!

[@MrCorvettegirl2]

Hi Victoria What a lovely place 💕 Thank you for sharing this amazing home with us & all your fond memories within 😁

[@kristindriskell4027]

Wow The Floor is so Beautiful I love how you painted it and wrote the words describing that day you as a Family found your Home..The green on the wood with the striped walls again so pretty..I enjoyed this very much.You and Richard turned that house and proberty into a Masterpiece..

[@eileencarew1972]

Thank you, Victoria, for taking us along to visit your former home, love the "storybook" floor and the pottery wall (what a wonderful way to save your damaged work). I look forward to you sharing more of the house & your history.

[@anastasiadsigns4u]

Dear sweet Victoria This was a lovely gift, thank you. I can't wait to see the rest of the videos. Thank you for sharing such an important lesson taught to you by your little Heather. I hope that beautiful painted rug with poem is preserved forever. I so enjoy your positive energy, resilience, and zest for life. My new goal in life will be to always look for the lace in everything ;o}

[@christinahall2587]

🌟 Oh, Victoria. What an amazing journey this is going to be. When I see the broken pottery wall I remember Psalm 147: 3 “ He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds “.

[@jennharts1]

Beautiful story on how you looked at the ugly and broken and turned it to everything beautiful and meaning. You are so inspiring! Thank you for all your stories!!!!! LOVE< LOVE< LOVE them all!!!!

[@paulaapplegate7085]

Thank you again Victoria, for sharing your thoughts and inspirations with us. Your kindness and love of all things fills my heart with joy and friendship. One day I would love to hold your hand and dance in a field of daisies, for that is the joy that my heart feels every time you visit with me.

[@miscellaneousbee]

I love how you wrote your story into the house!! Another thing that draws me to your fabulous designs... is I was always taught growing up that you don't mix patterns. You have flipped that thought upside down and done it in the most beautiful of ways!! Thanks for sharing your life and creativity with all of us!! Many blessings

[@kathryninouye9599]

Love that you share your stories with us Victoria. Looking forward to future videos. I so enjoy how you and Richard SEE THINGS. Makes you stop and look again. God would say," what's in your hand?" Creating things, beauty, is in your DNA. Shalom, Kathryn

[@carolanndarling3726]

Ooooo! Thank you so much for sharing this part of your world with us, Victoria! This home was clearly awaiting you and your family to breath life and especially love into her once again. Be well! Blessings upon you all!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Ahoy, Carolann! So good to hear from you this evening. Such an interesting comment. It reminded me that the word “breath” comes from the same root as the word “inspiration”. I think it is very assuring to know that breath is not a physical, mortal thing, because it’s being is an expression of inspiration. And isn’t it so, when people rise up from a belief of disease dis-ease, it is always spawned by fresh new inspiration, not from breath. And so it was with our house. (Heather called it “Home Again”). It was revived, and continues new every waking day of inspiration. That, in deed, is Life itself, eh?

[@WinnieFinesse]

Ohhh lovely 😍 the story on the floor is magic ☺️ and the tile wall's a great use of the bits

[@chowceo]

I remember searching here on KZbin with your name and home and a very very old video came up of someone interviewing you and Richard and showing them this home as you lived in it, lovely 🥰

[@colleendoran3045]

Hi Victoria, what a great delight! I remember when your house came up for sale, I was so desperate to buy it. I hoped to turn it into an artist colony. Of course, I was unable to afford it, but I am so glad you have wonderful people living in your work of art, who are so kind and respectful of your work. What a joy to see this!

[@LilyGazou]

That would have been a good use.

[@jamierossi2573]

Hiya Victoria. Oh thank you for this. My eyes immediately popped as you were walking up those stairs to show the love behind your placement of pottery. Girl, you are such a groovecat in design. The writing is completely precious.

Ahoy, again, Darnell! I’m so glad. If I hadn’t been back there, to visit, those stories never would have come to me to tell you!

[@GreenLadyDV]

I just discovered Victoria MacKenzie-Childs on her KZbin channel and Patreon. She and Richard are the true creators and spark of original genius that have made so many treasures exist in our world. Although the corporations are solely reaping the benefits, Victoria and Richard continue to ripple through the world with their unique creativity and spirit. Thank you for your beautiful video. 💚💚💚

[@janmoore6340]

As a child... I too remember having "lace" vision. Watching waterfalls inside the water cooling air unit in our window on hot Texas days. Laying eye level in the clover watching the insect village bustle about. Not losing that is my biggest admiration of you and Richard. You help restore my now cynical spirit back to "wonder". God bless you.❤

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Oh, my friend! I am deeply touched by your lovely honest comment. Just think how grateful we are that somehow we have crossed paths, due only to the grace of our Father-Mother, God? -for, to awaken to one’s true purity and childlike trust in good is a most valuable gift. To leave behind the earth-weights of cynicism, criticism, and sinister sneers on society -it lifts one from the grave darkness which would temporarily consume thought and action, crippling his wings for freedom’s sake, robbing him of his right to liberation from age & blight; it would bury himself from his true likeness to his individual expression -not following the crowded route in the way of the old man… rather to awaken to the innate nature of his right to a gentle, sweet jubilance! ‘Twas your native purity which tugged at your heart-strings and helped you up to your true selfhood, -liberating you from how you had, for a moment, been reduced to the fallacies of intellect. Something within attracted you and mended the link to your ever-present (though only hidden) nature, as to come upon the wee voice within and the honest outreach of each-other. What you heard in the videos was because of your listening to your innate sense of your true selfhood … the wisdom of the child within. ‘Tis your true being begging you “Home Again” (that’s the name Heather called our house. The new name is “Evermore”. … Sweet how the two names actually connect together, bringing us to our honest origins whilst confirming our undeniable goodness, rooted in Love that never fades, eh?) Sometimes, I worry for the folks of our current “times” who seem to be oblivious to the privilege of laying in the cool ground, watching a wee ant sauntering curiously across a blade of grass -belying the false pursuits of grownup-hood, the allures of the intellectual. But, Jan, you helped me to return to Trusting God as our ever present consciousness, which every man may know. To know this obliterates the concept of time and loss of it for the fact that we have the eternal now. It is only up to a turning home again, to our right and responsibility, as children of God, EVERMORE. Ahoy, Victoria !

[@christinchandler528]

Some of my favorite childhood memories are of the Mackenzie- Childs making- (several family members worked for you over the years) Mom would even bring home buckets of broken ceramic pieces on weekends and we would sit together helping her mosaic picture frames... beading lamp shades... the fondest of memories ♡♡ thank you for following your visions and authenticity... and sharing your memories!! So much gratitude and appreciation ♡♡

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Oh, my goodness, Chris! I want to frame this beautiful rendition of how you all became apart of saving MacKenzie-Childs from the flames of fire! I must somehow save this comment. I would love to just love it in my heart of hearts for a spell, and let it be somehow printed for all the world to see the power of the American Spirit. We must revive this American family, and it will make our nation impervious to the takeover they plan. Thank you deeply, forever for sharing this story. It is courage to the return of ethics and the healing of an ailing nation.

[@Valerie__22]

It occurs to me that your inner joy, which you’ve clearly sprinkled glints of far and wide, be-it in your grand dwellings of yesteryear or a tiny piece of jolly handmade pottery perched on a tabletop, all of it is like a series of inspirational lamps you’ve lit along your way. Even now, as the MC brand is under some one else’s control, the new makings would not even exist without your foundation, without your great lamp of freedom in home designs! Your merry spirit is quite present inside all of it. Amazing to think of actually. By the way- love that dress too!

Yes, Hope, that video might have been taken down. Early on the owners of our house were suddenly of a change of heart, and asked us to take the two first videos down, and when we were aloud to resume, it was a bit jumpy still so I’m just not sure what happened to that video. I think most of it was reincorporated into another one, but I’m not sure. I’ll ask Frederik. He is the one who made those first two videos to be edited. I loved this shades. I wonder what will become of them. I heard tel our dear friends are moving. I wish they would save some things, like shades, for themselves, at least of if they don’t like them, to sell them to us. Much gratitude for your interest and your good deciphering of what I too love most, Hope! Hey, did you know, a friend of mine one e told me that Hope means “Trust in God”. Isn’t that a much better way to see your glorious name, rather than in a hand wringing way? Have a bright hopeFULL DAY!

I have made little surprises for you all but I have only 17 , I think, of your addresses. Can you (is it possible for a Patron on Patreon to communicate with the lot?). I need to Patrons to give their addresses so I can send this lovely little thing to each of you! Dawn can you give YOURVADDRESS ASAP, Please?

If we can make this gift get to each of you, it will bring such joy to me. If we can catapult the membership it will bring the spirit of the work to Al elves that shows it’s worth to our world.
