I have never seen two more creative, talented people than you and Richard. I am mesmerized looking at all your treasures.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hi Elaine! Thank you for going on a Treasure Hunt With me. That was a happy day. Ahoy,Victoria

[@rebeccaherder8296]

What a treat to see you, hear you, and your perspective on items! You are like a fairy tale that's been given as a gift to us. Thank you!!❤❤❤

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hi Reba.. you know I feel the same about you, don’t you! 🤭

[@rebeccaherder8296]

@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 awwwww!!! 🥰 I've been fighting breast cancer this year and rediscovered how much I love your sense of joy in everything. In the end, that's all we have. Doing ok but not wasting time worrying about decorating trends. Doing what brings joy to me and everyone else around me. Thank you again!

[@sufanisworld]

I love your joy! I love any creative who uses the word porridge.

[@sherriepolensky374]

I absolutely love your black and white check designs on furniture etc. It makes me very happy for some reason. Thank you

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hi Sherrie! I’m so glad you’re glad!😃

[@pambaker7895]

I have been collecting Mackenzie Child’s since the 1990’s. I registered for the Honeymoon pattern when I got married. You are so incredibly creative:)

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

You are so amazing thank you thank you thank you so much for being such an inspiration to so many keep your beautiful creativity flowing with you

[@gramgram1158]

You Tube: "Oooh, this." Me: Can't understand why I'm seeing a colorful sprite coming through a small opening. Then a massive bouquet of flowers bound out from behind her. What artful delight is this person; this place?! My jaw is still dropped.

[@IrishAnnie]

At first, I didn’t know what I was seeing….like a magical creature from the water…..

[@GrandmaSandy]

I agree with you watching all these beautiful KZbin channels gives me so much inspiration give me so many great ideas. I just started watching some videos about six or eight months ago about sharing what Mackenzie Childs had never heard of you and I was amazed at how beautiful everything a lot. And watching your videos it shows me the way I could use some of the pieces to incorporate into my home thank you so much for such great videos with so much inspiration

[@annmcgee8960]

Fantastic I am nearly 67 but have always been fascinated by the Mad Hatters tea party your kitchen could belong to his sister.Love it.💚☘💚

[@paulkelsey2459]

Mr. Knobel! I love when you mention Madison ties. I showed your channel to my art classes at MCHS. We recently honored Mr. Knobel with the creation of a scholarship in his name to benefit fine arts students.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Dear Paul, I’m so glad to hear from you. I could have given a whole video about my classes with Mr. Knoble. But due to the fact that most viewers do not have time to watch much detail in the KZbin format, I have to push myself along so quickly, so as not to get off into anOTHER story. As it is, Frederik has to cut out a great deal of my videos or it would deter folks from listening at all because they would know they don’t have enough time to watch. But I shall tell you one little story about that kind and sensitive gentle MAN; he noticed my hunger for more and more understanding. I was exempt from having to attend Health Class as a Christian Scientist student (health class focused greatly on disease and a matter based cause and effect and “cure” so the State of Indiana gave Christian Science Church Sunday Schoolers what the called “Religious Exemptions” to children where their own religious focus, studies, and practice might have a different base for health than that taught in public schools). Anyway, back to Mr. Knoble. He invited me to use my hour of exemption from Health class to come into the art room and work (it was also the time of his free period but he Ave it up to tutor me). And get THIS! He also invited me to come in on Saturday mornings! Every Saturday I rode my bike early in the morn, no matter what the weather … a very long bike ride just so I could have my time working in the art room. Often he didn’t even stay in the building on those Saturdays as he probably had his own family to attend to. I didn’t think much of it then, but now I think of how wonderful it was that he would come to school every Saturday to open the room for me and trust me all the while, that I would not get into mischief or have an accident that he might be responsible to explain. But that true teacher, didn’t even consider such fears. He saw and trusted his mission to teach far more than any darker concerns. And, of course, nothing ever happened to me for my pure desire was only to be working on my project in the stillness and the freedom from the sound of the bell to move along to another class. I remember the quiet. I still feel the quiet today. I’m grateful that you are a teacher, Douglas. I’m grateful you shared my video to those dear students of yours. Today’s world is coming in upon the purity of our children’s thoughts to twist and counter our American Dream, realized with hope and joy, with our natural focus on the goodness which abounds, instead of controlling, manipulative counter culture. Our students need to be able to keep their eyes open to God’s glorious gifts to us all, to work for them, even fight for them in a time when victimization has tried to conquer the victories ever available to each one of us as we see ourselves as God sees us, transparent conduits of His power, His Love, His creation ever at hand! Fare~Thee~Well! Victoria

[@lianapalumbo8457]

I've just found your channel, and I'm so happy. I love old things and restore and/or make things for my home. There's so many beautiful things to see here, thank you xx

[@DoloresJRush]

A church my mother attended closed a few years ago, so she began attending a church about a five-minute drive from her house. She discovered my former typing teacher there and sometime later, she told me that my teacher had been diagnosed with cancer and wasn't expected to live long. I felt that i should write a note to her and I did, thanking her for teaching me how to type, which I use all the time. I recently found a memorial for her on Findagrave and I felt good that I had listened to that inner prompting to write her a note. It's great that you have a visual memory of a former teacher of yours. Love all your bits and bobs.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Dolores, you were lead to give a gratitude gift to your teacher. Let us listen every day for such divine Love. In such is strength and a discovery of the font of infinite Life, Truth, and Love! Fondly, Victoria

[@ScentsWithLinda]

Absolutely beautiful floral display. You are so creative and practical!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Oh dear it just started raining … better go grab my boots off the luncheon table! (Well, maybe not ALways so practical, except, that there are sure ot to be a bee in my boot when filled with fresh water😁

[@dalejohnson5697]

I only just discovered your channel. It's magical. We all need a bit of magic these days. Thank you.

[@pamelamarkie2716]

Re: your table linen. Folds in linen in 17th - 18th century British households were a sign of wealth showing that the householder could afford fine table linens and that there was sufficient "leisure" and skill available to iron them in a certain manner. Linens for the table were ironed to create specific fold patterns such as all parallel fold lines pointing the same direction - up - rather than one crease up and one down. Very tricky to execute! I have loved YOUR work for many of years and am SO HAPPY to find you on You Tube! I am delighted that you are still in business under your "new" name and cannot wait to explore your line of merchandise and support your efforts! Yankee is FABULOUS! Thanks for sharing.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Pamela, thank you! I love every way the light rests and glints off the damask. I cherish it. I love your history lesson!

Well, welcome aboard, Kathy! How nice to greet you. I hope you will subscribe so that you can see the next. Idea when it comes up. ( I think it gives you notice). And thanks for sending me … are the , Poppies? They remind me of Poppy Day when I was little, everyone wor a poppy on their dress or men’s lapel. It was always what made Memorial Day so special, and reminded everyone of the gratitude it stood for in the founders and the foundation strong and free of fear, of tyranny, and of gluttony. -of good folks who understood and stood for the right to work very hard to keep our nation pure 😇 Thank you, again Kathy, I Victoria

[@michellecostley7878]

Your multitude of Dollar Tree imitators do not do you justice! Carry on, beauty.

[@leslieweber5177]

Thank you for the comment about the folds in table cloth. I too love linens crisp and neat, but there are always fold lines. I will stop fussing about the folds … you’re right, they are part of the beauty. 😊

[@MsAabbo]

I agree!!! That struck me as well and I will not fuss about them in the future😀

Oh what a delight .. we have finally just bought our first home in the UK ... I now need some of beautiful work in my story 😍😍 .. going to gadabout the internet and see what I can find 💐

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

What fun, Monaco! I have always longed to sell everything We own so that we can dance up an down the ladder ways and twirl round the pipes! We would be free to find or make or life like we just kind rhos old beautiful ship snd pretend whatever we like. We would even like to sell Yankee Ferry. Not because we want to desperately, but just to be forced out into the world to find our way like two lost children and a few animals … bumping into wherever we can find shelter from the storms . Wouldn’t that be so thrilling? It makes me feel so funny, just to imagine😃

[@reneebarger5194]

Dear Miss Vicki, so nice to see you again. Remember when you were “creating” the house on the hill on Rt 90. We were on the Lake in King Ferry. Loved your first kitchen in a chest! Wishing you well.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Dearest Renee! Wow, we go way back, eh? Thank you for reminding me. It was such a big part of our forever experience, up on the banks of Cayuga. I miss it. It hadcacseemingly sad ending, Eh? But here we are! God cares for His children. Never to let them fall. I hope you are subscribing so that you can see each video. Soon one is coming out about upstate! Ahoy, Victoria

[@debbiekennedy6030]

Omgosh, I'm sorry happy to have found your channel! I have been a fan for many years. I was in heaven quite a few years ago when i was in NY and visited the store. Then, I was sad when at High Point Furniture Market and saw 4:42 the MC showroom. A couple of men were sitting in the chairs and talking. I learned from them that the company no longer belonged to you, but you still had a hand in what was going on. I'm thrilled you are here on this channel!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hi Debbie. Thank you. I too am so glad we have found each other. I know that Divine Love brings together the kindred Spirits. ( by the way, MacKenzie-Chi on SS was stollen outright, and there was not a lick of truth in what those gentlemen told you. Everyone was told made up stories to cover up the terrible facts. But, I just needed to correct that lie, even if they didn’t know any better, now you do. Well, welcome. To my KZbin channel and I hope to hear from you often, now that you know where Richard & I are. Ahoy, Matey!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hi , Debbie, just one point of business, we have no hand in it. It was stollen outright. But now, Divine Love moves us onward and upward. And so very glad to have bumped into a friend like YOU all along the rugged way. Fair Thee well and have a glorious day!

[@debbiekennedy6030]

@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I am so very sorry they took your company. Your art is so unique to you I don't understand how they could do that sort of thing. You as a person are also part of that art, you belong with the company. You have been a huge inspiration to me through gthe years, some very difficult, but everything about you is love and light so that makes others happy. Thank you for keeping on with your beauty. P.S. forgive all the typos on my first comment. Fat fingers on a phone, LOL!

Thanks so much. Would like to see more of your amazing home!

[@Gigi-jv5uo]

This is fascinating.. You show us it is possible you can live your life, grow up but still keep your imagination and pure inner child alive..

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Oh, Gigi! I am so ebullient to meet you! Well, yess, but, of course one cannot see himself from here or there , for we are only from within looking out, but what I muse from your wisdom and from your keen observations of Life -it must certainly be true, for the qualities you address are individual , whilst, at once, universal ! Life is not lineal. It is without beginning NOR ending. I am quite sure, that it must be true that childlike~ness is not our origin (as in a birth, a beginning - for that implies an ending, do you think? … a gaining and a losing … states and stages, ups and downs). A ray of light shines from the sun … the sun that actually never sets! Gosh, Gigi! You have discovered that what we call “child” is innate. It cannot come and go, but for a mistaken belief that it can, isn’t that so? It isn’t physical so it isn’t perishable. My goodness, I could go on, but this is only a KZbin platform. By Job, -I think you’ve got it! It is Inalienable ! Yes, we can rest in this fact. We needn’t strive for what IS innate, already, eh? Can the notes of music be lost? Can they be used up? Can there ever, never be enough? I just want to be so still in this discovery you have announced, my Gigi, whom I do not know, but … somehow, forever, I do.. My goodness, Thank you for telling us all your comment. Gladly, Victoria MacKenzie-Childs

Hi my awesome friend you always have such a beautifully displayed table never thought of using the boots for a Flower vase.

So, I took Christmas wrapping paper and made book covers for some of the books that I always have out. Instant Christmas season for a lot less.

I also credit you for inspiring my discovery and love of the Finger Lakes region. You have made a special impact on my life. I’m delighted to see your KZbin channel :)

Dear Krista! It is wonderful to hear of your friendship with us! Isn’t it amazing how we were friends before flesh? … and here we meet again! There is a beautiful story to go with 4 houses. I will be telling it some day. I wonder, did you subscribe? So much more in store. PS, we are sitting on the shores of Cayuga lake right this very moment, in the early morn, reading the Bible lesson to each other. We are working hard up here today and then home to Yankee Ferry. Ahoy, Victoria

@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215How lovely. I absolutely subscribed. I am engaged to a man from New York who will appreciate hearing your stories as well :)

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Goodie, Krista! Well, we shall not only be friends, some day we shall meet! I am thinking that for the Patreon Patriots we will begin having monthlyzoom meeting wherecquestions shall be answered. I’m so looking forward to all sorts of new ways to become a force for good with all of those whom would like to begin to bless America, and the children of the world. Fresh, pure, free!

@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Hi Krista I'm Dee Dee this is my first time here and within just a few seconds ..I lovelovelove so thumps up with 💕 and before you were halfway thru I hit subscribe .. This isn't a Brand it is a Art Form and I am inspired and feel such a comradery with your train of thought. Through out this vlog I kept thinking that you reminded me of someone in my past. I worked it around a bit and thought yes! Its a old friend in literature ..Childhood Literature Pippy Longstocking and please take this as a compliment cause its meant as one. If you are not familiar with her please read up on her just a little, you will see what I mean. For example ..In one story she has a chore to scrub the floors . She makes scrub brushes into skates and just skates the dirt away 🥰 So garden boots as a vase and Pullies to open heavy doors were of no surprise to me only that there is a real live person doing it and that was reassuring me that my tastes in lovely things and great new ways to use them is a shared and wonderful thing. Thanks so much for filling our world with radom acts of beauty.

This video showed up in my YT feed. I am so sorry to say I had never heard of you. I was instantly drawn in as I really like eclectic, unique, olden days, Victorian, art deco, Jessica's Gunne Sax sorts of things and I am so delighted to learn that you exist and create such marvelous art. I agree with Dee Dee that your mind and its creations are an Art Form. I absolutely love it all. I realized while you were talking that you must have a website, so I took the liberty of searching and found it and was tickled to the core to see so many delightful colors, patterns, fabrics ... I am so glad you were born. God Bless and thanks for sharing the world where you live ... 🙏🌈🌄😘

[@joycebryant4825]

I first saw you on the Christopher Lowell show years ago l just fell in love with this style you are such a fun and happy person

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Why, hello, Joyce. I am so grateful we have found each other finally, thank you so very much for commenting. I hope you will again and again, and tell me also about yourself. I love knowing someone whom had known me for so long and been so loyal to support the deeper message we all are kindred to. Ahoy, Victoria

[@tammygaines4228]

Just stopped by out of curiosity! I adore everything, but my favorite thing is the remnant curtain!!! I wish you would cover the extension rod with fabric pieces or paint it, then over it with colorful buttons!!! Anything would look amazing! The stark white takes away from the beautiful strips of fabric! TFS!!!

[@tnicholas3030]

So glad to see you !!! 💕💕💋

Her spirit really inspires me.

[@shewhispers45]

I was so happy that you talked about the doorway curtain because I was eyeing that up through the entire video. I use vintage white, lace panels for closet “doors” in all my rooms. I might change one or two up for something more colorful. I love that idea! Your home is magical and beautiful!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hello she’s! I bet I would just melt into your comfort. We don’t have the deep comfort we all love about the end of day. Good thing we get good and tired a d fall into deep pleasant dreams.

[@jillbraun9395]

I love the collar pin. I miss the days when it was a daily part of my wardrobe.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

I’m so glad you thought it was a broach! It is actually one of our own Victoria & Richard Emprise Necklaces that can be worn at many different lengths but because the collar on my blouse sets up quite high on the band, I needed to fill the space so I wore the necklace very high. It does look like a broach though, doesn’t it? Ulyou can see the whole ne lace on our website. If you look at my latest entry I on Instagram, you will see my favorite broach, “spring Flower” You are so observant, Vicki. You are curious about everything. I love you!

[@jillbraun9395]

@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 wonderful and versatile idea. The blouse is gorgeous but made even more lovely with the addition.

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Thank you, Jill. I made the blouse from some beautiful raw silk, many years ago. When I put it on though after such a long time I noticed, the silk is now breaking down. I was so sad.

Hiya Victoria. Once you starting speaking, I'm hooked. I just adore anything repurposed. I'm with you on creativity. I will use anything as a vessel to hold flowers. I even love dirty boots used. Shows the love we have for the yard work over here. I'm in Toledo, Ohio. I went to your page and watched your fun in shrubbery. I love it. Everything you wear is freaking fantastic. Nice to meet you new friend Victoria. I subbed. Must see what's next.

It is, indeed a wonderful way to share, to stand up and sing out , un hampered, and to converse together with all the world. There are many alga rhythms, which all in search of word used that do not follow the new culture in control now, so I must learn to be wise in what is actually said or written, but I know I can be, and some day and somehow, not in words but in deeds, Truth shall prevail and shall show the underpinnings of the Governor and his beloved children, eh? Ahoy!
