Calling All Channel Mammals! I just read all of your comments last night very late. These next several days are very very active ones for me. Please, as I already asked in the last video, can you wait a spell for my responses? I have met even fulfill the promise of the LAST video. BUT I SHALL! I simply loved your comments and I think I have answers for each of you. I see I am falling behind, but don’t take it personally 🤗. It is overly weaving into tapestry with lots of strings being paddles into place. It will come together and we shall have tidied up the feats. Ever fondly, Victoria PS keep watch, as wee bit by wee bit, I shall weave in my responses, eh?
The placemats are so pretty. I love the square instead of a rectangle. I can see different colors to reflect seasons. Cloudy day? Sunny day? Snowy day? Holiday?
Victoria, you should start a new company named “Richard & Victoria Child” or just the initials. I would like to purchase one of your aprons now! Also, you could sell the dishes online, having people state if they would like the pastels or bright color. Please please start selling things from your warehouse. There IS a way😊😊😊. I will help you figure it out and come there to help you with getting it together!
❤oh, Reneé! You are so sweet. You know, I think it would be really fun to have a big party this spring and let everyone come and find treasures here. I find them every day! We will need time to mark things, but it will be a delight! If you do want an apron, Tenee, I shall have to make a strap for the neck and wash and press one for you. There are only a few in stock, it seems, however I have always said that what we made was to sharing so if we sell out, I shall sell you the apron off my neck and sighing the sash!. How’s that? I think you can order it on line. It comes in a beautiful box !!!!
She should keep the prestigious name that it is and continue to build on to the name that people are familiar with. Absolutely amazing products and they are growing under the current name. That would be business suicide to take her focus off her current company.
I just love you Victoria ♥️and Richard too 💙 I would love to buy some of your beautiful items. Aprons are so beautiful and useful. Your talent and your heart are so amazing. You are a treasure. God bless you and Richard.
Absolutely beautiful Victoria ❤ Good luck!!!! I love the black and white stripes, perhaps that can be your new niche and also black and white polkadots. Thanks for sharing ❤
Ahoy, Carol! Our new niche? … why it’s all the colors of the ever hanging world of seasons & timelessness! That’s a swell niche, do you think we can have that? YES, and no one can take it away. There is enough for all the people! How fun to speak with you, Carol!
Those bowls remind me of colored Easter eggs. Each one unique and special. Thanks for letting us see these! You never fail to inspire with your creations and stories & little lessons! Bless you!
Sweet Valerie! I’m so glad you liked them. Wasn’t it fun being alone in that big old gymnasium and theater, rifling through all this beautiful individual expressions of love?
Start selling baby!! Who knew you had these incredible treasures just sitting around, lonely, waiIting for a home!...waiting to be seen and appreciated! And how much more do you have? I know you would love to see your things used and displayed by people who admire your God given talent! Start selling baby!❤️
Kathy, oh, how wise you are. I have wished for so many years that all could be cherished as the gift it was given to be. You don’t know how hard and long we have tried and the resistance we have received. When we first started to make these new works ( there is more) the company of our name told all the customers that if they bought our new works they would take them off their list for shipping the work they call MacKenzie-Childs, and the knock offs of the original works. Of course, the people didn’t want to harm their business, so they could not buy. Also, much of the most beautiful and valuable work, several millions with was stored in a wear house in Michigan by a collector who wanted us to ship it all to her and she would sell and ship. We had had so much trouble starting again that it seemed a wonderful solution. They stole all the work, and sold secretly. They were a strong Mathia family and we tried to go there but were afraid for our our lives and others who wanted to help.. so much has tried to keep us from going forward. We just had to leave and to just simply subsist. I am praying to know what needs to be released in thought in order that the works of Gid might be felt amount men. I am very sad in talking with you. Please know it is not my nature to be so. But when I speak of some of it, it tries to take my eternal joy. That is how tyanny comes in and runs down society into desperation. It is not my true American “in Gid we trust” nature. I shall rise above it, Kathry. Some do I would love to tell you of a wonderful idea which I have devoted my year to, and it has fled away. God HAS a plan. The work is done. There is a way. We SHALL walk in it! It only takes an awakening to Reality, instead of living in the harshness of beliefs in sadness.
I am devasted to hear this. God must make a way Dear One. So many must be praying for you and the Lord loves your sweet and pure heart and He will move! Oh but His timing can be so frustrating! You don't need to respond to my suggestions as I know they are probably more aggravating than helpful since you are trying everything you can.....since you have so much product, maybe go on a home shopping network that MC is not on. They might jump at the chance to compete and have the true VMC! Some of your channel mammals responded in comments that they would purchase things. Perhaps doing your videos showing them with prices and expanding your website. Publications would be interested in reporting your new ventures and telling your story. I know this all takes time. I love you, I support you, I am your cheerleader and praying for you. When discouragement roars its ugly head ( you know where it's from) contact those who care and admire you ( like ME!) to rekindle your joy to move forward. You are one of a kind, you are a master, you changed design forever in a beautiful joyous way, you are a treasure.
I love this video so much omg I wish I’ve seen this sooner 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love this so much beautiful and unique Iconic collection I love everything you do
Hello dear Becky. Thank you for your appreciation. Becky is what we used to call my sister as children. But her birthright is Rebecca. Is it so for you too? Either way, it is an endearing sound to me.
Oh, Testy, no one wants it more than I! Let us hope somewhere there is a moment and a way to find the time to do it ALL! I would sell everything including my shoes to help Yankee Ferry be preserved for posterity and this lovely historic s hook to stay forever a symbol of the kind of dignity we felt for our children’s education between the wars. There was none of this disgusting pronoun nonsense and gender obsession being taught to our precious children, so hungry for a higher, deeper way to think and pray and Serve and play!
Thank you, Liz! So much joy to hear “Happy Sunday”. To me, Sunday is still very special. I don’t go on zoom. I zoom to church, dressed for being clean and tidy in a brand necweek and an eternal day😇
Im a little confused I bought from Richard &Victoria Emprise is this still you Company...I would buy a full set of any of those dishes,place settings they are just so beautiful..
Hi Kristin! Yes, it is called Victoria & Richard Emprise. And what you saw is our new work. Oh, I would lo love it if you could come to choose your own collection. It is a wonderful adventure. The whole search would mean so much to you. Let us hope it could happen. A few people have found their way and they have found it so rewarding, I think.
I keep going to the Emprise site to try to buy things from you and Richard. Loving your linens! The ceramics! Those egg cups! Those APRONS!!! ❤️🧡💛 What is your ultimate vision? Maybe we can help to figure something out! 😏 I'll bet there's a lot of talent, contacts and experience amongst The Channel Mammels...
Melody, what is the Emprise site? Can we buy anything from her there? I love her spirit of being full of joy and playfulness! It all makes me love them both!
Oh, Melody, I too am sure, as you! It has been so much work just trying to get organized! But I feel a special gathering coming on in the new year. Surely there will be a school sock hop in the Gym, eh? Let’s hope for it!
Hey, Reba! So happy we are together again. By the way, I keep my cloak and scarf up state, and it has been mighty useful these brisk mornings . I love thinking of your fingered weaving in and out of my so loved attire.
Good evening Victoria, The fabrics, the plates, bowls etc. the mix and match are fabulous . They all work together . You can never make a color mistake! Love. Hugs.❤
You're such talented couples! Victoria & Richard ... We would love to see you sell & create more beautiful things.. please don't stop... Sharing your your awesome artworks & creations... We are a huge fan of yours... ❤️ Your videos... Hope one day we would be able to buy & sell your rare & labor intensive products .... In our dream future store.. more power & God bless both of you... Hope to meet you soneday. ..💐😊🌈 Grace & Vee
Hi Grace and Vee! Thank you so much for this wonderful support. I’m so happy for your shop. Are you in the process of building it, or is it a dream at the moment? No matter which way is up, you are rising and shining, and we would be so happy to see these lovely things out in the wide world where they are meant to be. Keep in touch! Caringly, Victoria
Thank you so much for sharing, Victoria. Please do find a way to be with the people. It would be wonderful if you and Richard could find a way to design and sell beautiful homewares again.
Hi Kari. Thank you for your very genuine comment. I could feel the sincerity of heart. I don’t know where He leaders me😊. But surely it is to bless, as He cannot make anything that is not a blessing. Every day I just do my best not to get in the way. I feel there is already a beautiful design for us all in Mond. Let’s keep watch and be ready to receive it, eh?
Victoria, you have some lovely hidden treasures there. 💜You must let them out to all the people that love your work. 💛These are the 'real' Mackenzie-Childs works of art.❤ I truly appreciate how you see things that some of us would miss.💚 All your textiles and pottery and everything in between are so amazing.🧡 I hope you and Richard can find a way to get all those wonderful things out to the public. 🤎You must start selling them so the people who love your "original" work can have it in their homes. Wishing you the best, ❣DD
Ahoy, my buddy Smile -Smile! You are always here cheering us on, eh? Well, we are trying to know that sometime in spring or summer we can plan a big after school sock hop! Wouldn’t that be funny? And we could all meet and explore and seek and find? I so hope so!
Oh, Stephanie, they ARE! And, the linen is so wonderful to handle. We made them in Lithuania. And, I shall never forget running through the fields of flaxen, there, at the mill. Do you know, they still actually use their wind mills for crushing the flax stalks into golden fibers for weaving? It is so noisy in the wind mills and so exciting to see all the activity of the big stones, wooden beams and ropes working in harmony. You wold love it too, I feel.
What a wonderful video and story. My 1995 Camp Mackenzie Childs enamel bowl that I recently told you about is just like these. They remind me so much of the wonderful swirl art stands long ago at amusement parks. You had your paper canvas and several little paint spray bottles and you would turn it on and as it spun, spray different colors of your choosing and could stop it and see the results or start it up again adding other colors if you like til you're happy with your results and then they're put in a paper frame to take home and enjoy. That was one of my favorite stops as a child. I agree, you should sell these beautiful treasures as people would love them to display. And I also adore the darling aprons and would love that too! It's just sad that they're hidden in a warehouse when they could be bought and cherished by so many as I truly cherish my treasures created by both of you. Many blessings and lots of love to you Sweet Matey.
I loved your description of the spinning wheel and splashy paints! Well, you will see in some of my other replies, that I am hoping we can plan a huge after school Sock Hop some day next spring or summer, eh? Let’s hope. There will be a way! Until then, may I thank you for your prayerful support in finding the time and means to prepare? Ahoy, Victoria
Sandi! So sweet of you. And remember that it is we, together. Together we reflect off of Him, and off of the Christ spirit within us each, for WE are the light of the world!😇
Hi Victoria, your video was just so awesome, you need to sell them I know people would love to have myself included, where could I purchase one of the aprons, you are inspiration to everyone who watch your videos 💛
Hi Sharon, we just came back from up state and home to yankee. This week we are going to wash the aprons and I am going to make neck straps for them. For some reason they have not got their neck straps so I am going to make new ones. Soon they shall be on our sight so that you can purchase one. And fused what! They come in the most beautiful box! I am so excited for you to have one. So keep watch, my friend!
Hi Sharon! Just go on our sight. It is listed in “the description” and if you don’t find what you would like, you can write a note to kristine in the sight and she will help you out. I hope you have fun with your wonderful voyage through out!
Helene, thank you. You know, I just learnt a little about the word “enthusiasm”. It comes from the Greek word for God, “Theos). I was thinking about it because someone last night complimented about my enthusiasm. It was wonderful to understand the origins, and, mine, and all! Thank you for reminding me when you mentioned “happy energy”!
Howdy Victoria,,absolutely gorgeous peices! How could one pick a certain peice? Would be a grueling experience to me,,I would want them all. Lol. Beautiful work.
Oh, uncle Robert, yes, we must! It is such a dream I have e wry day. It is why we spend gallons of gas nearly every week to go up and to sludge through the mud. There is a grease desl of good Thee but also a great deal to work through to uncover it with rooftops falling through. We keep cleaning and meaning well, and hoping. I wish I had time to tell you of the nearvpromise I recently had but it fell apart like so many other things. I can only know that will cannot make them come true but the force of Divine Love, it can and it WILL. When we go up, even now every week in the cold, we work so hard thst I have not time to stop and talk to you all. But this imagination of so much good keeps staying with me. I must find a way to pull away and speak about it so that perhaps my Channel Mammals will know a way to make it happen. I keep bringing my mic up with me in hopes but the ragged days drag on into nights of falling into bed with my boots on … and up again to pull through the mossy knotholes I shall try so sincerely to MAKE IT HAPPEN TO speak WITH YOU ALL, soon! Thank you for lighting up my courage like a torch in the dark, sit.
Cynde, I know what you mean. One time I commented to a very clever punster friend. I was so smitten with his immediate Witt. Do you know what he said to me? “Victoria, I hear it at the very same time you hear it!” Isn’t that a beautiful answer? Doesn’t it show so clearly that it is NOT from us but TO us, from our Creator. It is exactly how I feel about my “touch”. It is so effortless, it is a touch of Divine Love! I am just as giddy about it as you are. And you have a touch too! You have felt it I know, eh?
I have in the past and now am at the point in my life where I feel an urge to create again. I get so much from watching how you do it. You are just so inspiring in your creativity and spirituality!
Oh gosh, Kurt, so corny wasn’t it? But somehow it was so simple and mindless that it just gave me some busy work whilst visiting with you, and a sweet hiatus from REALLY heavy work!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I really enjoyed the hiatus. It felt good. When were mindless is when we hear God. Our thoughts are out of the way. We can hear clearly. We call it "inspiration". But, I am sure you understand. It was so easy and effortless. That's wisdom at work. I really felt I saw who you were in this video. Thanks for just being you.
Victoria, my order for today is the lovely Apron, the beautiful Creamer and Sugar bowl. My colors are more earth tones, so you chose. For real ready to shop!!! Be Blessed my friend
Nancy, I have two creamers, only. I can photograph them and give them to Kristine to post. You should send a note to kristine through our site and she will help. You. I am putting together some sugar bowls next week and she will also show this, and some egg cups. This is exciting because now because of you all, we are finally putting these beautiful hand made glass balls into their rightful place. Oh, and I am making straps for the necks on the aprons. For some reason the last few we have have not got their neck straps with them. You will LOVE the box for the apron. It is as beautiful as the actual apron!😊
Sweet Jeannie, thank you so much. And you know what, my middle name is Jean, named after my Pap’s Scottish nurse and governess, Jeannie. He was closer to her than his own mother, whose name is in none of his children’s names. I love you name for that reason.
Hello my Speckled Hen, just as I read your ask, this came to mind, “You are untouched by a belief of any power apart from your loving Father-Mother God. God’s Love surrounds you, unbounded you, and lifts’s you to see yourself, perfect, whole, grateful, and completely joy-filled! Isn’t that great to know? Wholelyourself as God see
I would, Amy, but MacKenzie-Childs is now not real for us. We have none of the archives and the people have everything now made outside of America and also they do not know how to make the original works and I don’t think they would show you. I am very sorry. I wish there was something left of the real. But we do have beautiful things to share. Oh, I just remembered!!! We do have some sorts of videos of me teaching the men how to make Ishkabibble. I will have to find them. I think you are referring to this videos. They are very short but you would get such insight into them!
I’m so flax, Debbie. I’m hoping to wash the aprons this week and get them ready for the world. Keep watch on line or write a wee note to Kristine. You will LOVE the box they come in!
I love how you Love your creations of colors. I love all the colors of plates & bowls etc I would love a set and would buy a set. Are you going to list them ?
Janice, where do you live? Wouldn’t it be great to meet at the school, and you could have so much fun picking out your very own sunny splashes? Is that ever possible? Ahoy, Victoria
Kristin, I think I mensioned in another comment, perhaps from you, thst I am Hoping to freshen up the aprons and finish their neck straps so that you can have one. I love them so much
True artist you were able to see all those bowls as unique pieces where most people would just see a bunch of the same bowls not appreciating the different color swirls each being unique
Thank you. You know, what you just commented, well, it is more meaningful than you might know. I paused as you spoke. It is so important to see as others see. It helps to also understand self knowledge. It helped me to be more able to stand in different shoes. I love feeling that we are one, but to truly be one, we must see through the eyes of another. It doesn’t mean we could ever lose our own perspective, but instead, to embrace each-other, which is the grand perspective we are capable of.
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Yes that’s what a lot of people lack these days, empathy! Perspective is a major part of how I think and always have. Try to view from all angles and process it all my own way.
Oh dear, Sandra, I’m washing the aprons and ironing but there, I think are only five left. Lots of people seem to want them. I would go to the site and write to Kristine to ask her if she had a waiting list, or something. So happy for you. I’ll do my part by 1&1/2 weeks, I hope!
Sandra, I don’t know where you live but if you are near enough, we could arrange a time when we are up there for you to come and have fun finding your favorite!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I live in California. Thank you for thinking of me. I enjoy your videos so much and all you share. Wish I did live closer. I would spend days just looking at everything.
@@sandrabrown6326 hi! We just cam back home to Yankee and, guess what I’m doing this week? I’m waging, ironing and making neck straps with buttons for aprons! So soon there will be a short supply of them for people to have!
Marcia, oh, my goodness. What you said, it is so pure and so grateful. It makes me grateful too, for there is nothing more to want in Life than to be transparently serving each other, even when we don’t know whom is being blessed. It shows the light shines through and lightens every path, eh?
Hello Victoria, I love watching your videos and your products! After watching the episode where you explained what happened to the original MCKENZIE-CHILDS company, I don't even want to buy anything from the "new" MC company. Is that bad?
Most things , or at least some things are on our sight which is mentioned in “the description” I hope you can find your way. And Kristine will answer questions. She is wonderfully knowledgeable.
Oh how I would LOVE to be with you Victoria in that glorious ,wonderful ,enchanting ,room of color and creativity 🎀 I want to “Play With You” and have so much fun🌸
Hi Victoria. I know you are very busy and will wait patiently for an answer. Did I hear you say Ishkabibble when you were describing either the dish or the placemat? I am 79 years old and remember my mom using that word, but can’t remember in what context. As soon as you said it, my ears perked up. I even backed up the recording to make sure that’s what I thought you said. Can you enlighten me on what the word means? What were you referring to? Is that the name of the pattern of the dishes? 🥰
Dear Victoria, when anyone hears yours and Richard’s story they think that you were dealt a cruel blow in life. Anyone who doesn’t know your story would think that the MacKenzie-Childs are retired and living in absolute luxury ….. but the opening scene of this video sees you struggling to push a tatty old office chair that is laden with an abundance of colourful fabric squares 🟨🟪🟦. The focal point of this picture, though, is the huge smile on your face… there is no self pity here… only joy in your Lord 🌟. The Bible tells us that on this earth He will purify us ( if we allow Him ) so that we will come through ‘ like gold tried in the fire ‘. This purifying is symbolised by Fire 🔥, Water 💦, Launderer’s Soap 🧼, Hyssop 🌾, and a sweet aroma 🌬. James 1:2 tells us ‘ to count it all joy when we fall into various trials ‘…. so our ‘crucible’ can be likened to a huge aromatic bubble bath that never gets cold and will never become too hot for us to bear ! Just look at you relishing your luxurious perfumed bath, delighting in the bubbles 🫧 ! P. S. The only time we will feel pain is if we allow the soapy water to get into our eyes…. then our ‘vision’ will become distorted 💧.
Christina, if you read the response to our Channel Mammal, Kathy, you will see that, though the smile of hope and trust IS eternal and genuine, there is a weight which is seemingly always tugging at me. I have so many hopes and trusts in the eternal when the shadows gather, yet, it is a daily, moment by moment awakening which must constantly occur in heart and in thought. It is so right that this burden be lifted, that God’s work be known for what it represents to His children. Yet, how … now, how will He bring it about. I know not. I feel so grateful yet I cannot seem to express the abundance of my gratitude in ways that truly bless and progress. Your writings are right. I shall hold to the facts of being, already fulfilled and I shall wash the soap out of my eyes. Thank you ever so much, my friend.
Yes, Amy, in fact everything in my entire environ is for sale. It is just difficult to find the time to mark everything and be ready. I do love telling people the stories about each treasure. I often wish they were all with me always, as the history should be scribed. Thanks for enquiring
Yes, and also in the ship! It is my desire thst every wonderful thing may be brought out to the world. I have to find a way. If you know, I will listen, listen for His voice and be shown thecway
Calling All Channel Mammals!
I just read all of your comments last night very late. These next several days are very very active ones for me. Please, as I already asked in the last video, can you wait a spell for my responses? I have met even fulfill the promise of the LAST video. BUT I SHALL! I simply loved your comments and I think I have answers for each of you.
I see I am falling behind, but don’t take it personally 🤗. It is overly weaving into tapestry with lots of strings being paddles into place. It will come together and we shall have tidied up the feats.
Ever fondly, Victoria
PS keep watch, as wee bit by wee bit, I shall weave in my responses, eh?
The placemats are so pretty. I love the square instead of a rectangle. I can see different colors to reflect seasons. Cloudy day? Sunny day? Snowy day? Holiday?
Yes!… and Howsabout, FLIP -between courses, as anothe option, eh?

why, what a heartfelt outreach! Thank you so much

Hello The! I love your genuine support and kindred likes & LOVES!!
Beautiful dishes.
Hello dear Becky. Thank you for your appreciation. Becky is what we used to call my sister as children. But her birthright is Rebecca. Is it so for you too? Either way, it is an endearing sound to me.
Can't wait till some of the unfinished projects show up in your on-line shop!
Oh, Testy, no one wants it more than I! Let us hope somewhere there is a moment and a way to find the time to do it ALL!

I would love to buy those two of those checkered placemats!
Hi Douglas, yes, you may! You can go to our wed sight and just write to Kristine. She will help you! I know you will love them
Happy Sunday Victoria thank you for sharing you are most gifted and talented 👍💕🥰💚🙏👋💙😊❤

The whole search would mean so much to you. Let us hope it could happen. A few people have found their way and they have found it so rewarding, I think.
I keep going to the Emprise site to try to buy things from you and Richard. Loving your linens! The ceramics! Those egg cups! Those APRONS!!! ❤️🧡💛
What is your ultimate vision? Maybe we can help to figure something out! 😏 I'll bet there's a lot of talent, contacts and experience amongst The Channel Mammels...
Melody, what is the Emprise site? Can we buy anything from her there? I love her spirit of being full of joy and playfulness! It all makes me love them both!
Oh, Melody, I too am sure, as you! It has been so much work just trying to get organized! But I feel a special gathering coming on in the new year. Surely there will be a school sock hop in the Gym, eh? Let’s hope for it!
Beautiful table place settings! Gorgeous colors!💖
Hey, Reba! So happy we are together again. By the way, I keep my cloak and scarf up state, and it has been mighty useful these brisk mornings . I love thinking of your fingered weaving in and out of my so loved attire.
I’m so very happy you are able to use it. You are such a blessing to so many of us who watch you. 💖
…”who watch you…” sorry, that just sounds so wrong🤪😂 I mean, who watch your videos😜
That’s ok, I’m multi lingual! I even speak Texan
😂😂😂😂😂
Ordinary storage? Not one thing ordinary about the storage or you! You obviously have so much fun and are so excited. Energetic.
Everything is just beautiful.
Thank you Mary, Mary, so complimentary!
Good evening Victoria, The fabrics, the plates, bowls etc. the mix and match are fabulous . They all work together . You can never make a color mistake! Love. Hugs.❤
Howdy Hugo! What fun you are having galloping ‘long side of me, eh? Giddy-up!

Grace & Vee
Hi Grace and Vee! Thank you so much for this wonderful support. I’m so happy for your shop. Are you in the process of building it, or is it a dream at the moment? No matter which way is up, you are rising and shining, and we would be so happy to see these lovely things out in the wide world where they are meant to be.
Keep in touch!
Caringly, Victoria
Thank you so much for sharing, Victoria. Please do find a way to be with the people. It would be wonderful if you and Richard could find a way to design and sell beautiful homewares again.
Hi Kari. Thank you for your very genuine comment. I could feel the sincerity of heart. I don’t know where He leaders me😊. But surely it is to bless, as He cannot make anything that is not a blessing. Every day I just do my best not to get in the way. I feel there is already a beautiful design for us all in Mond. Let’s keep watch and be ready to receive it, eh?
Victoria, you have some lovely hidden treasures there. 💜You must let them out to all the people that love your work. 💛These are the 'real' Mackenzie-Childs works of art.❤ I truly appreciate how you see things that some of us would miss.💚 All your textiles and pottery and everything in between are so amazing.🧡 I hope you and Richard can find a way to get all those wonderful things out to the public. 🤎You must start selling them so the people who love your "original" work can have it in their homes. Wishing you the best, ❣DD
Ahoy, my buddy Smile -Smile! You are always here cheering us on, eh? Well, we are trying to know that sometime in spring or summer we can plan a big after school sock hop! Wouldn’t that be funny? And we could all meet and explore and seek and find?
I so hope so!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 That would be great! I would love that! 👍
The placemats are beautiful!
Oh, Stephanie, they ARE! And, the linen is so wonderful to handle. We made them in Lithuania. And, I shall never forget running through the fields of flaxen, there, at the mill. Do you know, they still actually use their wind mills for crushing the flax stalks into golden fibers for weaving? It is so noisy in the wind mills and so exciting to see all the activity of the big stones, wooden beams and ropes working in harmony. You wold love it too, I feel.
❤ you are making things still! 😍😍😍😍😍
Well, not for production. Some time I shall tell you our reason. It’s ok, it’s not a scary reason🫣
What a wonderful video and story. My 1995 Camp Mackenzie Childs enamel bowl that I recently told you about is just like these. They remind me so much of the wonderful swirl art stands long ago at amusement parks. You had your paper canvas and several little paint spray bottles and you would turn it on and as it spun, spray different colors of your choosing and could stop it and see the results or start it up again adding other colors if you like til you're happy with your results and then they're put in a paper frame to take home and enjoy. That was one of my favorite stops as a child. I agree, you should sell these beautiful treasures as people would love them to display. And I also adore the darling aprons and would love that too! It's just sad that they're hidden in a warehouse when they could be bought and cherished by so many as I truly cherish my treasures created by both of you. Many blessings and lots of love to you Sweet Matey.
I loved your description of the spinning wheel and splashy paints! Well, you will see in some of my other replies, that I am hoping we can plan a huge after school Sock Hop some day next spring or summer, eh? Let’s hope. There will be a way! Until then, may I thank you for your prayerful support in finding the time and means to prepare? Ahoy, Victoria
This was one of my favorite videos! I could just feel the creativity! Very inspiring 💖
Hi Judy! Gosh, it was also fun for me. I only wish I had more time to play with you there! It also inspires me, you know?
Oh Victoria, a fairytale wonderland!!
I agree, Marie. I’m so happy you can see through the mire to the promise
I love how you see beauty and usefulness in everything! The dishes are beautiful, such a reminder of his love for us. Thank you for being a light.
Sandi! So sweet of you. And remember that it is we, together. Together we reflect off of Him, and off of the Christ spirit within us each, for WE are the light of the world!😇
Hi Victoria, your video was just so awesome, you need to sell them I know people would love to have myself included, where could I purchase one of the aprons, you are inspiration to everyone who watch your videos 💛
Hi Sharon, we just came back from up state and home to yankee. This week we are going to wash the aprons and I am going to make neck straps for them. For some reason they have not got their neck straps so I am going to make new ones. Soon they shall be on our sight so that you can purchase one. And fused what! They come in the most beautiful box! I am so excited for you to have one. So keep watch, my friend!
Hi Sharon! Just go on our sight. It is listed in “the description” and if you don’t find what you would like, you can write a note to kristine in the sight and she will help you out. I hope you have fun with your wonderful voyage through out!
I just love your happy energy and your vision! You made my day with this video.. big hug❤.. looove the linens and aprons!
Helene, thank you. You know, I just learnt a little about the word “enthusiasm”. It comes from the Greek word for God, “Theos). I was thinking about it because someone last night complimented about my enthusiasm. It was wonderful to understand the origins, and, mine, and all! Thank you for reminding me when you mentioned “happy energy”!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 you are just a right light shining! Creative and mindful to the boot.. keep being you..
Thank you dear Soul. Have a peaceful evening, eh?
I could never pick just one…I Love them all. How fun would every meal be with limitless combinations🤩Just Magical✨
Colleen, that’s Just how I feel, you know! Isn’t it wonderful?
Howdy Victoria,,absolutely gorgeous peices! How could one pick a certain peice? Would be a grueling experience to me,,I would want them all. Lol. Beautiful work.
I’m the same, Vickie. It is so much fun that I can’t stop playing! I hope you can come back some time. I’m trying to imagine when it will occur
I smile through your videos 😊 you are such an inspiration
Ahoy my new Luminary! Oh, I’m so glad your glad! It makes me smile just writing here and thinking of you with a winky grin!😄
Victoria- you must have a sale at the school. Can you imagine the crowds????
Oh, uncle Robert, yes, we must! It is such a dream I have e wry day. It is why we spend gallons of gas nearly every week to go up and to sludge through the mud. There is a grease desl of good Thee but also a great deal to work through to uncover it with rooftops falling through. We keep cleaning and meaning well, and hoping. I wish I had time to tell you of the nearvpromise I recently had but it fell apart like so many other things. I can only know that will cannot make them come true but the force of Divine Love, it can and it WILL.
When we go up, even now every week in the cold, we work so hard thst I have not time to stop and talk to you all. But this imagination of so much good keeps staying with me. I must find a way to pull away and speak about it so that perhaps my Channel Mammals will know a way to make it happen. I keep bringing my mic up with me in hopes but the ragged days drag on into nights of falling into bed with my boots on … and up again to pull through the mossy knotholes
I shall try so sincerely to MAKE IT HAPPEN TO speak WITH YOU ALL, soon! Thank you for lighting up my courage like a torch in the dark, sit.
I love that you bring art to everything you touch! I hope you find a way to share your art again.
Cynde, I know what you mean. One time I commented to a very clever punster friend. I was so smitten with his immediate Witt. Do you know what he said to me? “Victoria, I hear it at the very same time you hear it!” Isn’t that a beautiful answer? Doesn’t it show so clearly that it is NOT from us but TO us, from our Creator. It is exactly how I feel about my “touch”. It is so effortless, it is a touch of Divine Love! I am just as giddy about it as you are. And you have a touch too! You have felt it I know, eh?
I have in the past and now am at the point in my life where I feel an urge to create again. I get so much from watching how you do it. You are just so inspiring in your creativity and spirituality!
Amazing!
🤗
Fun video! Loved seeing the creative process behind the scenes.
Oh gosh, Kurt, so corny wasn’t it? But somehow it was so simple and mindless that it just gave me some busy work whilst visiting with you, and a sweet hiatus from REALLY heavy work!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I really enjoyed the hiatus. It felt good. When were mindless is when we hear God. Our thoughts are out of the way. We can hear clearly. We call it "inspiration". But, I am sure you understand. It was so easy and effortless. That's wisdom at work. I really felt I saw who you were in this video. Thanks for just being you.
Victoria, my order for today is the lovely Apron, the beautiful Creamer and Sugar bowl. My colors are more earth tones, so you chose. For real ready to shop!!! Be Blessed my friend
Nancy, I have two creamers, only. I can photograph them and give them to Kristine to post. You should send a note to kristine through our site and she will help. You. I am putting together some sugar bowls next week and she will also show this, and some egg cups. This is exciting because now because of you all, we are finally putting these beautiful hand made glass balls into their rightful place. Oh, and I am making straps for the necks on the aprons. For some reason the last few we have have not got their neck straps with them. You will LOVE the box for the apron. It is as beautiful as the actual apron!😊
Keep with Kristine. She will show the photos I take and I think you will be able to tell her just which ones suite your fancy
I love every one!
Sweet Jeannie, thank you so much. And you know what, my middle name is Jean, named after my Pap’s Scottish nurse and governess, Jeannie. He was closer to her than his own mother, whose name is in none of his children’s names. I love you name for that reason.
Perfect in every way Victoria! I love everything thing you do. Please pray for me...
Hello my Speckled Hen, just as I read your ask, this came to mind, “You are untouched by a belief of any power apart from your loving Father-Mother God. God’s Love surrounds you, unbounded you, and lifts’s you to see yourself, perfect, whole, grateful, and completely joy-filled! Isn’t that great to know?
Wholelyourself as God see
Victoria, would you be willing to show us all the film of the crafts people creating the design on the plates?
I would, Amy, but MacKenzie-Childs is now not real for us. We have none of the archives and the people have everything now made outside of America and also they do not know how to make the original works and I don’t think they would show you.
I am very sorry.
I wish there was something left of the real. But we do have beautiful things to share.
Oh, I just remembered!!! We do have some sorts of videos of me teaching the men how to make Ishkabibble. I will have to find them. I think you are referring to this videos. They are very short but you would get such insight into them!
Love the colors and the aprons
I’m so flax, Debbie. I’m hoping to wash the aprons this week and get them ready for the world. Keep watch on line or write a wee note to Kristine. You will LOVE the box they come in!
I would love to purchase some dishes.
I love how you Love your creations of colors. I love all the colors of plates & bowls etc
I would love a set and would buy a set. Are you going to list them ?
Janice, where do you live? Wouldn’t it be great to meet at the school, and you could have so much fun picking out your very own sunny splashes? Is that ever possible?
Ahoy, Victoria
Yes, Janice, I think they might be listed. But it is so much more fun to pick your own. There must be a way!
these are on her website with other beautiful designs of plates.
😊
Apron is so pretty..
Kristin, I think I mensioned in another comment, perhaps from you, thst I am Hoping to freshen up the aprons and finish their neck straps so that you can have one. I love them so much
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 You are so sweet Victoria
True artist you were able to see all those bowls as unique pieces where most people would just see a bunch of the same bowls not appreciating the different color swirls each being unique
Thank you. You know, what you just commented, well, it is more meaningful than you might know. I paused as you spoke. It is so important to see as others see. It helps to also understand self knowledge. It helped me to be more able to stand in different shoes. I love feeling that we are one, but to truly be one, we must see through the eyes of another. It doesn’t mean we could ever lose our own perspective, but instead, to embrace each-other, which is the grand perspective we are capable of.
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Yes that’s what a lot of people lack these days, empathy! Perspective is a major part of how I think and always have. Try to view from all angles and process it all my own way.
Victoria, I love the dishes. My favorite is the one with lots of blue. Really would be hard to choose. Love your apron also.
Oh dear, Sandra, I’m washing the aprons and ironing but there, I think are only five left. Lots of people seem to want them. I would go to the site and write to Kristine to ask her if she had a waiting list, or something. So happy for you. I’ll do my part by 1&1/2 weeks, I hope!
Sandra, I don’t know where you live but if you are near enough, we could arrange a time when we are up there for you to come and have fun finding your favorite!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I live in California. Thank you for thinking of me. I enjoy your videos so much and all you share. Wish I did live closer. I would spend days just looking at everything.
@@sandrabrown6326 hi! We just cam back home to Yankee and, guess what I’m doing this week? I’m waging, ironing and making neck straps with buttons for aprons! So soon there will be a short supply of them for people to have!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I also need to iron. I keep putting it off. The apron straps sound nice. I bet they will be pretty.
I love you sweet Victoria! I am so much more in life because of what I learn from you! ❤🎉
Marcia, oh, my goodness. What you said, it is so pure and so grateful. It makes me grateful too, for there is nothing more to want in Life than to be transparently serving each other, even when we don’t know whom is being blessed. It shows the light shines through and lightens every path, eh?
I love the pretty bead on top. Lovely!
😊
Hello Victoria, I love watching your videos and your products! After watching the episode where you explained what happened to the original MCKENZIE-CHILDS company, I don't even want to buy anything from the "new" MC company. Is that bad?
Where can I purchase these plates and bowls?
Most things , or at least some things are on our sight which is mentioned in “the description” I hope you can find your way. And Kristine will answer questions. She is wonderfully knowledgeable.
Oh my...what are you pushing around?
A bundle of the most beautiful linens, fresh, innovative, and hungry to give.
Oh how I would LOVE to be with you Victoria in that glorious ,wonderful ,enchanting ,room of color and creativity 🎀 I want to “Play With You” and have so much fun🌸
It can be, Lynn. I think there might be an opportunity
Hi Victoria. I know you are very busy and will wait patiently for an answer. Did I hear you say Ishkabibble when you were describing either the dish or the placemat? I am 79 years old and remember my mom using that word, but can’t remember in what context. As soon as you said it, my ears perked up. I even backed up the recording to make sure that’s what I thought you said. Can you enlighten me on what the word means? What were you referring to? Is that the name of the pattern of the dishes? 🥰
Dear Victoria, when anyone hears yours and Richard’s story they think that you were dealt a cruel blow in life. Anyone who doesn’t know your story would think that the MacKenzie-Childs are retired and living in absolute luxury ….. but the opening scene of this video sees you struggling to push a tatty old office chair that is laden with an abundance of colourful fabric squares 🟨🟪🟦. The focal point of this picture, though, is the huge smile on your face… there is no self pity here… only joy in your Lord 🌟. The Bible tells us that on this earth He will purify us ( if we allow Him ) so that we will come through ‘ like gold tried in the fire ‘. This purifying is symbolised by Fire 🔥, Water 💦, Launderer’s Soap 🧼, Hyssop 🌾, and a sweet aroma 🌬. James 1:2 tells us ‘ to count it all joy when we fall into various trials ‘…. so our ‘crucible’ can be likened to a huge aromatic bubble bath that never gets cold and will never become too hot for us to bear ! Just look at you relishing your luxurious perfumed bath, delighting in the bubbles 🫧 ! P. S. The only time we will feel pain is if we allow the soapy water to get into our eyes…. then our ‘vision’ will become distorted 💧.
Christina, if you read the response to our Channel Mammal, Kathy, you will see that, though the smile of hope and trust IS eternal and genuine, there is a weight which is seemingly always tugging at me. I have so many hopes and trusts in the eternal when the shadows gather, yet, it is a daily, moment by moment awakening which must constantly occur in heart and in thought.
It is so right that this burden be lifted, that God’s work be known for what it represents to His children. Yet, how … now, how will He bring it about. I know not. I feel so grateful yet I cannot seem to express the abundance of my gratitude in ways that truly bless and progress.
Your writings are right. I shall hold to the facts of being, already fulfilled and I shall wash the soap out of my eyes. Thank you ever so much, my friend.
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 🙏❣️
Are the items in your school all for sale ?
Yes, Amy, in fact everything in my entire environ is for sale. It is just difficult to find the time to mark everything and be ready. I do love telling people the stories about each treasure. I often wish they were all with me always, as the history should be scribed. Thanks for enquiring
Yes, and also in the ship! It is my desire thst every wonderful thing may be brought out to the world. I have to find a way. If you know, I will listen, listen for His voice and be shown thecway
