Where It All Began! Building A Miniature World From Antique Rubbish!

This week we bring you a special 30 thousand subscribers film. We show the whole process of building a miniature world from objects we have found mudlarking over the last 5 years. Mudlarking is the hobby of looking for lost objects in Victorian rubbish dumps, river foreshores and beaches. We find doll pieces and toys as well as scraps of useful metal and wood and work them into tiny dolls house dioramas. We also go back to the beginning of this channel which actually started on our other Mudlarking channel! Thank you all so much for the wonderful support! Come with us on a journey to our tiny world!
If you would like to see us finding some of the things we use pop over to our other channel "Mudlarking With Kit + Caboodlers" - / @mudlarkingwithkitcabo...

What you make/made from mudlarking finds are so much more interesting than store bought items. Watching you make them is so much fun.

[@elliepascoe5954]

My thoughts exactly!❤

[@darnprecious1]

I love how cats think they need to supervise everything and the tail is a very important tool in supervising.Love when Sunny Cat is in the videos 😊

[@rockreader4298]

I couldn't agree more, Precious. : )

[@peggyreid6836]

Congratulations Fleur and Kate on 30 k subs. Believe it or not I remember when you found the painted wood you made into a cabinet. I also remember most of materials you put into making furniture, fireplace, dishes, cooking utensils and other things. I am one of the original subscribers. I started watching because I follow you and 14 others in Mudlarking. I am 73 yrs old and still enjoy watching you two find and make all things miniature. Thank you both for letting us be part of your adventure.

[@sharonc7031]

I have never had so much fun. As I am 73, I have found my happiness and gitty sense again with this recent subscription. Let the world turn as it may because we have these two to help us through.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

I’m going to put in my vote for working on the mudlarking house. Those films are my favorites 😊. But I’ll watch anything you post!

[@melindawargowsky8176]

Tie your little tiny bows around the tines of a fork (or that electrical widget you found). Wrap the thread around two tines, slip the tie between the tines and tighten, then slip it off the end of the fork😊. I love the 🥾!

[@ruthbond1581]

Congratulations on reaching 30,000 🎉. I have been watching you lovely ladies since the beginning. The creativity you put into everything you do still amazes me. Much love from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@anniehartley8851]

Oo I forgot, nails and screws, knitting needles, anything that makes a mark, and for rolling out stuff, if u have not got a rolling pin, use a glass bottle, and in pottery I used different thickness of dowels to get different thickness of clay when rolling out ..keep crafting.. your amazing.❤❤❤❤

[@beverlyhayshouston2770]

Years ago I made a little store out of a drawer. I made vegetables, eggs, meat, chicken, cheese, etc. out of clay. I happened upon a miniature brass cash register. Then bought miniature money, including coins. I found a miniature antique clock too. I have a bubble gum machine, a cigar store Indian, a galvanized tub with miniature Coca Cola bottles. I saw broken car window glass on the ground and scooped it up. It’s not sharp and looks like glass for my tub of soda pops. A clear plastic case with a rounded front once held a watch)looks like a display case. Now it holds the meats and cheeses. Anyway, some things were purchased but most were made. I hope future generations in my family will enjoy my little store. I made it in honor of my Grandparents little store. Great memories. I enjoy all of you Mudlarkers. I love all of your work compiling bits and pieces. We are definitely kindred spirits. Greetings from West Tennessee.

My cat Kiki is always in the middle of everything that I am doing. Or knocking stuff off of tables. I love it.

[@michaelmursanow7798]

Congratulations - you have mastered the art of turning rubbish into an adorable work of art. I love the relaxing music in the background combined with your lovely stories. An hour well spent. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@beckyjo8745]

The little bird house was cute! And sonny sounds like he's kinda laughing to lol 😂

[@bcldavis5085]

Congratulations. Everything you ladies do is just enchanting. I love the old films as well. Please keep doing this one for a while. I love seeing you make things.

I really love your stove😋😋

[@DeborahKEgolf]

Congrats.❤😊🎉

[@northernerinnc3179]

I have many many many antiques --- because my family never threw away anything. Chamber pot? was called a "thunder mug" by ancestors of old. Leo is like the poem : Diddle diddle dumpling my son John/ went to bed with his stockings on/ one shoe off and one shoe on/ diddle diddle dumpling my son John.

[@LillianArch]

I watched this on my big TV but forgot to comment. First I’m constantly impressed with your relationship. You are such a pleasure to watch and your creativity blows me away!!

[@clintonoconnor9224]

It Is All Adorable

[@okskookumbabe]

Congratulations!!! This is one of my favorite houses you two have done.

[@barbaracollins389]

I love the green polish!

[@rebekahclark466]

I just discovered you and I’m chuffed! I am fixing up a dollhouse I grabbed before the trash truck came! I love to listen and watch as I paint and glue.

[@debrapage-v8w]

I so enjoyed hearing you reminisce and laugh and awwww over your work. Made the video for me. Beautiful..

[@bridgethill6250]

The treasures you have found, made me smile each time...stumbling upon your videos is a treasure 😊love it

[@patti117]

hello ladies, i LOVE this video!! it takes me back to when I started watching . I looked up doll houses and found you, then you introduced me to mudlarking! So nice to see Sunny cat again.🥰

[@flowerlady-e5u]

I follow a few mud larkers in London and luv it.

[@tinamarieabney4066]

So creative ❤

[@beckyjo8745]

It was a slate pencil and it was great!! you BOTH are SO talented making all of these things! I LOVE IT!!

[@anthonylewischurchill-theg233]

Thanks Guys, so inspiring Bless You

[@paulettejambrosic4058]

Absolutely adorable!!!!

[@JanMoore-z1x]

I just found you and the flash back to my loving childhood was immediate. Mom taught me sewing and clay uses, Dad was the collector of bits of history. As 67 yr old collector Granny, already forwarding to my treasured grandkids. Love from Texas❤

[@liverbird_55]

Congrats on the 30k, I so loved this vlog, and I really loved the Bagpuss style filming you should definately do that more often❤👍🏼 I just loved Bagpuss as a little girl and the begining was always so special with the narration just before the story would start. Narrator: Once Upon a time not so long ago, there was a little girl and her name was Emily, and she had a shop. ✨✨✨✨✨✨ (A picture of Emily’s shop appears) Narrator: There it is, it was rather an unusual shop because it didnt sell anything? You see, everything in that shop window was a thing that somebody had once lost and Emily had found and brought home to Bagpuss🐈 Narrator: (Quoting Emily’s magic words) “Bagpuss dear Bagpuss, Old fat furry cat-puss, Wake up and look at this thing that I bring, Wake up and be bright, be golden and light, Bagpuss, Oh hear what I sing!

[@Andrea-73]

Congratulations Really enjoyed watching Thanks 😊

[@sticklebacksummer]

Congratulations on 30,000 , you deserve many more. Hope your keeping better and your luck has turned. A delightfully long episode.

[@Sassygrannyvlogs]

💟

[@bunnyemartins7756]

Absolutely remarkable! 👏

[@thaliachaltas9096]

Wonderful to get a narration of the long process, after seeing so many of the videos piecemeal. The stove is my favorite! Creativity reigns!!

[@lindatillson6302]

I loved this video and the imagination you both have is wonderful very inspirational I have been collecting things for a while to make a doll's house.

[@maryblair6680]

I so look forward to your videos!! I love minis and doll everything.

[@debcattell7059]

I've been around since the start 😊 and still love love love ❤️❤️❤️ watching all of your wonderful creations and all of your videos on both channels. Thank you Kate, Fleur and Sunny cat 🥰🥰🥰

[@lisathomas1622]

This would have been fun to do with my mom. We used to make crafts together. She was such a lovely Mom.

[@jodic7760]

I love how your cat is invested in whatever you are doing. My kitty does the same thing and I think it is very cute!

[@cathyratliff398]

Congratulations ladies on reaching 30k. You ladies are very talented and creative and I love all your videos. The work you both put into making the miniatures is amazing and everything turns out so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing videos with us. I can't wait to see more as the journey continues 💕

[@tracybeil4625]

We watch because we love you both! It's amazing how you invision things and then make the happen! ❤❤❤ it was fun to review with you and yes your mum wrote on the tiny slate with a slate pencil! Incredible!❤🇺🇸

[@MillieOsborne]

❤ from Millie 🇨🇦

[@carolekinsey7835]

Absolutely adorable seeing you showing off the sugar box doll house. So full of finds, many of which i remember from your previous larks and makes. I enjoyed watching all your makes and the finished, not finished box looks fantastic. Its made extra special, because you made so much of it yourselves from bits and bobs you've found. I do love that. Oh and Sunny cat with his tong hanging out, is known as a Bloop. Wow and that bloop at the end, almost made me choke on my brew. Laugh, yep i certainly did. ❤ Congratulations to you both on achieving 30,000 subscribers. Well deserved indeed. 🥂 👏 xx

[@kathymoreaux9467]

I so very love this video! It’s up there with on of my top favorites! The kitchen is just beyond words for me. All the bits and pieces put together! The stove, the birdcage, the table, the shelf…all of it is amazing! Thank you for sharing this on one video! Congratulations on your subscribers! Can’t wait to see more creativeness! Thank you both for sharing y’all’s joy with us! ❤❤

[@debrablanson2288]

Oh what lovely treasures the two of you find😊 fun fun fun❤❤❤Leo sounds like a Frankenstein

[@yomama8873]

Congratulations 30,000. Enjoyed 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

[@edwardforever9343]

That's fantastic. Never apologies for your older videos, as I'm new to your whole world and both channels, I have spent so many evenings after work just relaxing and enjoying the films. There is magic in everyone, I also described your channels to my best friend as the real life "Bagpuss" experience, being in my 50's as a child it was my favourite program. This is my happy place, you have made me look so differently at my Edwardian dolls house, living on a small Island in Orkney I'm now out on my beaches combing and gathering "bruck" as we call it here. Please keep up the wonderful work you deserve 60k to follow you and I am spreading the word! Well done to you all....especially Sunny! x

[@theminiatureworldofkitcabo1633]

Thank you :)

[@Mary-mv2kn]

A well deserved congrats to you on 30k. I have enjoyed watching both of your channels. May then both continue to grow.❤❤❤

[@Katseye102]

Congratulations!! This is wonderful and well deserved!! Can’t wait for more adventures! And crafting furniture, and your dolls, all your finds while mudlarking!! You’re a joy to watch!! You just pick up bits and make something out of them…….it gets my creative juices flowing for sure!! Even my sisters!! She watches you now too!! 😃❤️❤️

[@deborahscott2634]

I loved your first videos. And how you used larked finds. So amazing!!!! 😊

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

you have made so many wonderful things out of basically trash, it's so cool to see what you will come up with next! congrats on 30k...

[@MariadoSocorro-v2d]

Adorei!

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

Huge congratulations on 30k. Having been a sub from the beginning on both your channels how lovely it was to look back. I admire how you make all these wonderful items from things you’ve found. Thank you both and Sunny 🐈‍⬛for bringing so much joy💛🧡🤎

[@elainefletcher7787]

I would have loved something like this as a child, it's beautiful. Lovely video, thankyou for shareing it. Congratulations on your 30k subs, so deserved. ❤️

[@grumpy_poo]

Do you remember 'back in the day' when children died, wealthier families would have a gruesome photo shoot and dress the scene with lace... that's what all the frozen Charlottes in the wire cot reminded me of... I once found a photo album filled with such photos in a junk shop.. it was so sad.... weren't the Victorians an odd lot??

[@cerwelt]

Do you just set up your doll’s houses and look at them, or go play with them?

[@sdw2248]

Hi Kate....I'm sure you hear this all the time but it is uncanny how much you sound like Millie Bobby Brown. Every time my family watches your videos on both channels, I so much hear Enola Holmes when you speak. 😂😂😂 It is a shame you don't have an Hobby Lobby in the UK. They have soooo many things for miniature dollhouses. Does Hobbycraft have these kinds of items?

[@marjorielane230]

The cooks arms are not too long....her legs are short. 😁

[@LaMiNiNisGodsGlue]

I used to find things that were tossed in bins behind stores in Vancouver. New porcelain jewelry boxes, nice wood that was in excellent condition. All manner of items tbh. Waste. Treasures. Obe mans junk is another mans treasure. So true. (Not a fan of the banter. Just me. Misophonia affliction. Sorry.)🥲🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇦take care.

[@elizabeths4371]

I am DOUBLY DELIGHTED that you have devoted a Catch Up episode featuring your Sugarbox Dollhouse and Innovative Mudlarking Creations and I've enjoyed every single moment of it! AND Congratulations on 30,000 Subs!🎉 Hats off and Well Deserved you two! ❤

[@robertabessey7990]

You guys should be very proud of yourselves. You've done a remarkable job. Taking nothing and turning it into something fabulous. I've been watching both of your channels. Enjoying both of them very much. I don't usually comment but every once in awhile I do. I love the relationship that you have with each other. It's easy to tell how much you guys love each other and you work so well together. The love and excitement you guys have creating is easy felt by those of us watching. You guys are very very creative. I just wanted you to know how much joy you bring to your audience. I even find myself looking forward to see the outfit you will wear next Kate. You always look so pretty. Your mom is always beautiful as well. Thank you so much for all your hard work that doesn't seem hard when you're doing it. Bless you and your family. Can't wait for your next adventure and build.

[@cathyt.5112]

Congratulations to you both on reaching 30 thousand🎉❤🎉❤ I love you two and all of the chattering between you both. It reminds me of my mom and I. I love everything miniature. This channel brings so much joy! Thank you for all of the hard work you put in with both of your channels. 🎉 ❤🎉❤

[@kimberlymolitor354]

Congratulations on 30,000 subbies!! You both have brought so much joy to this gal!! I was a finder of little treasures such as rocks, shells, feathers, acorns, etc as a child and watching both your channels has helped me remember those curiosity- filled starting years! Thanks to you both❤❤❤❤

[@vickinoeske1154]

I loved these videos where you took odd, obscure bits and pieces and made things for the dollhouse.❤😊❤ Congratulations on 30K. Yay!🎉🍾🥂🎆🥳

[@mozhr32]

I get absolutely sooo excited when I see you ladies have uploaded a new video!!! I love how relaxed and mesmerized I feel when watching them! Thank you so much! I'm so amazed how creative you both are!! Would love to spend a day enjoying your company and getting creative!! Give Sonny some luvins for me!! (BTW...I just LOVE that green colored nail polish!!😊)

[@maggie_oshea]

Congratulations on 30k 🎉 So well deserved. I find everything you do fascinating. The imagination it takes to see everyday items in the bits and pieces you find. Thinking outside the box seems to be your forte! 😊

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

1:06:55 Please don’t be embarrassed of your early work! We’ve loved watching you and it brings back fond memories. 😊❤ You weren’t going for perfect, anyway. You were reusing the found objects and giving them a purpose again. The most important parts of all of these videos are your memories you’ve made together! 🥰

[@larkdavis6041]

Kate and Fleur, Congratulations on 30K!!!! So deserving! I absolutely love seeing Sunny and especially hearing him purring!!!!❤

[@johnnabuzby6103]

I loved Sunny's blep at the end. He's such a sweetheart.

[@joannesherwood3562]

Yay you!!!🎉🥰 If ever you feel unsure that you can make anything, just look back at the creativity you both possessed in making this little kitchen. This is hands down my favourite room that you have made. I love them all of course, but the processes in that amazing room are the uploads I have watched multiple times! 🫶

[@moyrakeatings7878]

me too i adore that kitchen!

[@nancybourland2323]

Congratulations Ladies ❤🎉🎉🎉 So happy for you both. Your channels are my favorites to watch. Thank you for sharing all your treasured finds and how so many pieces have found their way into your doll house which share so many stories of where there were found. 😊

[@countesscable]

Watching you make things from mudlarked things was my favourite thing. I’ve missed it so much. It reminds me of what I used to do when I was young. The stove was my favourite.

[@abuzerluxor]

Congratulations:) This channel is one of my most favorites among the channels I follow. You are great inspiration and I love your taste:) Looking forward to new videos on your new miniature adventures with old materials.

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

You both are delightful to watch and listen to

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Wow 30K Congratulations Fleur and Kate! So well deserved. This video was so much fun to watch. I love all your little sniggers and giggles at your work and every time Sunny made an appearance and supervised. I remember nearly all of your brilliant creations. Loved the cot and the birdcage! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@MiniatureMadnessofcherylg2696]

This was so much fun, watching all of this again! I remember I couldn't wait until the next time you made something for the dollhouse. It was awesome watching all the things you made from your finds and how well you made all those finds into every day items for your little house . This has to be one of the most charming dollhouses ever! You are both so creative and I hope there will be more of these types of videos in the future. Thank you for compiling all of these into one amazing video! Congratulations on reaching 30,000!

[@christinesmith8500]

I agree I miss those earlier videos of the mudlarking house.

Absolutely addicted, so much better than shiny store bought furniture,

I can just see the Borrowers moving straight into your doll’s house. Love it.

[@releasingendorphins232]

Oh my goodness. I just finished reading a gift set of those books and have passed them on to my 3 Grandchildren. I am so happy I didn't know about them until Fluer and Kate started making a world for them. Incredible fun at 65. We have so many opportunities for fun adventure in our world. Fluer and Family just happen to be some of our Favorite Teachers. Oh how we Love them all. Barb in Oklahoma.

[@michelecronin7860]

This is my favorite of all your videos

My best sculpting tools... a spoon, fork, knife, end of a paint brush. Tooth brush gives good texture , both ends, an old scraper, one of those which have holes in them, and my fingers, most important.❤❤❤😂😂😂
