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.
Just dropped by as a new subscriber, from “The little blue fly”. Victoria, you are wonderful and delight to watch! Love you whimsical home and all your pretties and inspiring ideas. Our home is an eclectic of whimsical, found treasures and family heirlooms! I have always loved old and beautiful pieces. Love your hair and your adorable personality! I will probably binge watch all your videos this weekend. 💕💐🐚🎼🎼✈️🛳
Dear Laura (is that your name? The truck is on such rickety roads right now that I can hard focus!). Well, anyway, my new Matey! Thank you so very much for you kind comment. I feel like I know you a little now and I HARDLY DO! I’m so grateful for all the good you are seeking and FINDING, within your home and all about your world. Every time a baby laughs, the whole world laughs as well. Your vision is your smiling heart! Ahoy, Victoria
Victoria! I can't stop watching your videos! Everything is so incredibly interesting with cool things to learn every second ...... and amazingly entertaining. Thanks for inviting me to watch your channel!
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
@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!
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.
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 TH-cam 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
I agree with you watching all these beautiful TH-cam 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
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!
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 TH-cam channel and I hope to hear from you often, now that you know where Richard & I are. Ahoy, Matey!
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!
@@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!
I just discovered your channel and am just in awe of your amazing home! Do you actually live on a ferry ?!! I am such a fan of your artistry and home decor line-And you are simply delightful and magical to watch and listen too! So happy to have found you!!❤️
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😁
Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful treasures I love the little creamer or little container that has sort of an Asian feel to it thank you so much for sharing it
Hey Aunt Victoria!! It's Odie, just saying hi and to let you know I have been enjoying the magical memories I have from my visits through Yankee. So exciting to see all of your adventures on this wonderful channel. - A dedicated Channel Mammal
Odie, my Grand Channel Mammal Nephew! Aye, Matey! I have noticed a few times, your name popping up and I have been observing you, as well! (Odegaard_the_bold, on Instagram. I wanted to ” follow” you formally but I'm not even sure how🤔. I ask folks to “follow” my Instagram but I had never know how. I think it is a bit oblique. Wittika is staying on board right now but Uncle Richard and I are up state mowing and climbing trees! It is so much fun! Wittika goes off to France on Saturday and then returns for the summer. We have one boat boy and one boat-boy-girl from mexico right now, and we always have Xeno! For the first time in 20 years, no chickens🙄, but I am wanting to build a master playhouse for hens quarters top-side! Want to come join us? Any time and for however much time you like, you can come be a boatboy again, aboard Yankee. Also anyone else whom you think would like to work hard, play hard and visit the wilderness of NYC, welcome aboard! I miss you very very much. I felt like you and Honey and we had a relationship beyond human. It was/is, for real, and real FUN 😁 Ahoy, Laddie!
I have adored you for your genuine joy in the whimsical after seeing you years ago on some kind of home competition show. You showed true class and individuality, and I thought you were this beautiful hero for those who wanted to be free.
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.
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
I'm so excited! Just discovered your channel. I'm slightly familiar with your work. I love all the whimsy and it looks like your home is that way too. I can't wait to see your other videos.
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.
This video just came up on my feed & I’m so happy it did. I really enjoyed the video & subscribed :) I love your beautiful personality & I’d bet we’d be kindred spirits! I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos.
Thank you for sharing! I absolutely ADORE the MacKenzie-Childs brand you started. I first discovered your work when you were featured on TLC’s Four Houses and have since become a major collector. 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 TH-cam 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 :)
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 ... 🙏🌈🌄😘
i love watching your decor style. its so interesting. i love how you have a story behind every piece in your home. & how each piece brings you joy. i am slowly decorating my home with handmade piece i make. i either make them by hand, restore thrift finds or use Dollar tree finds to make my decor pieces. i recently made a MacKenzie-Childs inspired video. i just love your spirit! xox
Victoria, l love your channel !! I watched you on the show ( 4 houses) I think that was the name. Love your story's and teaching and of course your decor. God Bless you
I'm a new subbie sent from The Little Blue Fly, and I have to tell you that I so enjoyed your tour of the galley! I especially enjoyed learning about the reason for ships having portholes. There's nothing better in my book than adding to my knowledge in such a fun way. I'll be on the lookout for more gems like that in your videos. Thank you for all you do with such enthusiasm, positivity, and spirit.
Ahoy, Katie! I am so happy to meet you. Isn’t it wonderful that The Wee Blue Fly had the generosity of heart to share HER discovery of new knowledge with YOU ALL? I think it was one of her subscribers who introduced her to my channel. Well, my friend, there is much more to come in the beyond on this voyage together! Thanks for joining the crew. Tally Ho, Victoria
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.
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
I have a kitchen full of your beautiful items! Started with the courtly check blk. An white teapot .My kitchen floor is black and cream harlequin check marble- travertine,so courtly check looks wonderful here!
Dear Karen, I think you must be a true Check Mate! Thank you for your comment. I love it when when I learn of you whilst you learn of me. This is the start of swirling the world as we love our neighbors and God above all😃. I hope you will share the videos you love most and subscribe. Did you subscribe, me Matey? We shall meet again and again, Ahoy! Victoria
AwwwI happened to stumble upon this wonderful whimsical galley fae! I love her! Thank you for this channel, I needed an uplift . ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️💯💯♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was so touched to see the Shirley Temple milk pitcher...I have my mothers from the late 1930’s and it came from saving Post cereal box tops. I also have here Lalique “shell” China tea set🥄🍃❤️🍃🥄
Hi my awesome friend you always have such a beautifully displayed table never thought of using the boots for a Flower vase. You always bring so much joy into my life always have everything so beautiful and colorful. I’ve only been collecting Mackenzie Childs for about five months but I’ve already had managed to get a nice little collection going and I really enjoy watching your videos for the last few months also you were really added a lot to my life an inspiration hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy
DEAREST KNOCK , KNOCK ! WHO'S THERE ? IT'S ME , MY DARLING VICTORIA . HELLO , HOW DO YOU DO ? MAY I COME IN ? THANK YOU MY DEAR . I THINK YOU'RE A GENIUS . FASCINATING INDEED . I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL .
Yay I am so happy I found you, I dont have alot of your beautiful things but I find you are truely magical. I think I now can be in your world with you all the time 😍. I am so happy and to see your magical, and whimsical world. You are beautiful and so exciting to see 😍 Thank you for inviting us into your gally God bless 🙏💞
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
Ha!! I love MacKenzie Childs style!! I too subscribe to Little Blue Fly and saw she has a few Mackenzie Childs pieces~ namely THAT frog mat!! 🐸 Ahhh-dorable!! So glad to have found your channel!!
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 💐
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😃
My mother had the same Shirley Temple mug. I'm not very creative but every now and then inspiration strikes. Yesterday, I was watching a Christmas decor "haul" and couldn't believe how much money was spent on decorative boxes and books. 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.
just today,,i found a gorgeous antique curved glass currio,,one of side glass broke halfway out....just watching you now inspired me,,,im gonna put a designed thin plexyglass,,and decoupage that area..i so love your creativeness....
Cheryl, and thanks for commenting. I’m getting behind with expressing gratitude but not in feeling it! I’ll catch up. Hope you read some of my earlier responses because different thoughts come out with each interaction with the comments. Love, Victoria
The little robot sugar container was super cute I really enjoyed it I like seeing how different people have use different things to operate into something precious by repurposing and reusing things they have found
I just found your channel. it's such fun to see your home. I'm happy to say that my daughter & I were privileged to meet you many years ago at your home near Aurora. She was invited to your home after being accepted as a student at Alfred U.
Ahoy, Wm & Dm Well you just go an tell the wee Blue Fly, next time you see her, how much she is loved, eh? But don’t tell her that a pretty little something I made for her out of something that was definitely made JUST FOR her! It will be a surprise. I never know when such surprises will be ready so, let’s keep it a whisper till the happy day, eh?
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 TH-cam 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
Oh dear you are a sweetheart. I am so glad I listened to Beverly from the little blue fly and flew over to your Channel. I just Love your little place and especially how you entered. I will deffently be back to see you again. Thank you for taking us along for this Amazing Tour. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed Evening and Stay Safe my dear Friend. Oh I must tell you I Love your outfit. 💚😊💚😊💚😊💚
Hello Joan! My goodness what a lovely comment! I do hope you can SUBSCRIBE, for there is much to see as we grow forward. So grateful to begin to know you. Fondly, Victoria
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.
Ahoy, Alice! We have spent some time in Netherlands. Did you notice two of our very first collection of patterns were named after, Alsace & the other one, Keukenhof! So happy to meet you
Marilyn, you are never too late! Welcome aboard. We are in the very beginning of great growth and goodness … opening thecway for others to trust their own individuality and their own great gifts. This is the essence of Freedom, upon which our nation was created, and upon which thecworld pivots, if only we can be pure and strong in that purity, there is no end to the blessings, not only to all of us but to all the oneness of our source … our eternal connection with the good of every man. Ahoy, Victoria
Just now found you Victoria. Question, is this where you live full-time? I love the way you display your treasures, everything is so bright and colorful, so very pretty. Just like you I have a lot of things that I love, but mine is mostly stored away in boxes. It’s to much for me to keep clean and dusted. It became overwhelming, so I’m wondering if you would consider sharing with us your routine for keeping things dusted, neat and orderly. 🙂
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!!!
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. 😊
Hi Victoria, I very much enjoyed your 'gad about the galley'. You tell your stories very well and explain your favorite objects in such a charming manner.
Great to see you today, Tucker, my née buddy! I’m glad you are taking the time to explore, and that you are finding your own inspiration in the discovery of my inspiration … all from the same everflowing source, eh? Ahoy, Victoria
New sub here. I remember when Christopher Lowell interviewed you on one of his programs. I was enchanted with your creative style! Looking forward to more V M-C!
Oh, wow! Join my fan club! I usually always felt closer to our dogs than to our cats, but sine we don’t have our dear dogs of late, Xeno has come to my rescue! He so so precious, you can’t imagine! He is a wonderful best friend! Every day we joy with him snd his rich contribution to everyone who meets him. Ahoy!
Hello Carol! I’m so glad to hear from you. Have you commented before? I don’t feel like I recall any comments. So glad to hear from you. Hope you subscribe snd can keep close. Part two of the Galley Gadabout will be coming soon. Hope to see you then too. Ahoy!
Hi Victoria, I just found your channel! I met you in Grand Central Station in NYC, I came up to meet and you were an absolutely delight, so friendly and warm!! I have loved Mackenzie Childs forever! You and Richard are a true treasure!!
I’m a new channel mammal. Is that what you call us?! You are so interesting and fun. I’m amazed with your energy and how you run and jump everywhere! I love your taste in decorating and collecting unusual items. Your clothes are so beautiful and your talents in sewing amazes me. Thank you for teaching me about living on a ship and your neighborhood. I love your glass curtains!
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!
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.
I love your work, I’m so glad I found your vlog.jay,my partner and I discovered your work years ago but didn’t know who you and Richard were. Thank you so much for all the beauty you both have brought to the world. As an artist I can relate to the problems of the business world exploiting artists. I would love to visit you some day!!! Thank you thank you thank you.
Hi Jay! Thank you so much for your sincere comment. You might want to visit Patreon. Have you heard of it? That is where we would be having events together and so forth, and for very little you can do a great deal of good support. Hope to meet again soon.!
Oh, Tricia, you are one who could save SCRAPS of SCRAPS! I wish you were at the end of MY cutting table fetching the tiniest morsels … not a mite left to feed the rubbish today with you round!
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!
Hello Victoria! Your channel popped up on my feed after I started to look up DIY book pages wallpaper. So glad that it did!! I've always loved MacKenzie-Childs patterns, but never knew the "story" behind the the company. It's been tons of fun getting to know you😻!
Ahoy, Kimberly! Gosh, isn’t that amazing how we find each other in seemingly random ways? But surely it is a naturally right idea, which blesses each other snd many others. Now, of course we don’t really know each other in the traditional ways of shaking hands, & a how-do-you-do, and I’m a little bashful to ask this, but, can you share the videos as far and in as multiple ways you can think of? The viewership is so low it is hard to even exist, yet, I KNOW that what is gently found within is of kindred interest and of great importance to Americans (even round the world today, right NOW). It might take some time on your part, but it would really make a huge difference in our, really, I think, our joint desire to save our American Dream and, by example, our world! Also, maybe tell folks about Patreon, for if everyone pledges just a wee few dollars a month (pennies a week) for this that inspires and lifts their day, well, it would really help the channel to survive and, even THRIVE!). Thank you so much, Kimberly, for considering this kind effort. I am going to tell every person of this need, now. So perhaps we shall see a giant step forward if everyone agrees about the importance of a voice which is practical in the American manner of Principle and its effects for all mankind, eh? Gratefully, Victoria MacKenzie-Childs
Pippi longstocking is truly alive and well.
And here I thought who she reminded off ❤
I have never seen two more creative, talented people than you and Richard. I am mesmerized looking at all your treasures.
Hi Elaine! Thank you for going on a Treasure Hunt With me. That was a happy day. Ahoy,Victoria
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.
At first, I didn’t know what I was seeing….like a magical creature from the water…..
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
Just dropped by as a new subscriber, from “The little blue fly”. Victoria, you are wonderful and delight to watch! Love you whimsical home and all your pretties and inspiring ideas.

Your video is a delight! Felt right at home. Thank you for your hospitality sharing your home! Blessings, lady di, Ortley and Pumba 🦮🐕🦺🐾❤️
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:)
I absolutely love your black and white check designs on furniture etc. It makes me very happy for some reason.
Thank you
Hi Sherrie! I’m so glad you’re glad!😃
Victoria!
I can't stop watching your videos! Everything is so incredibly interesting with cool things to learn every second ...... and amazingly entertaining. Thanks for inviting me to watch your channel!
I love your joy! I love any creative who uses the word porridge.
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
Thank you so much for all the information about the shape of the windows and how it functions on the ocean
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!!❤❤❤
Hi Reba.. you know I feel the same about you, don’t you! 🤭
@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!
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.
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 TH-cam 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
I agree with you watching all these beautiful TH-cam 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
Thank you so much for spending a little more time and all the spaces so we can really enjoy what you’ve put together there
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!
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 TH-cam channel and I hope to hear from you often, now that you know where Richard & I are.
Ahoy, Matey!
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!
@@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!
Your multitude of Dollar Tree imitators do not do you justice! Carry on, beauty.
I just discovered your channel and am just in awe of your amazing home! Do you actually live on a ferry ?!! I am such a fan of your artistry and home decor line-And you are simply delightful and magical to watch and listen too! So happy to have found you!!❤️
Absolutely beautiful floral display. You are so creative and practical!
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😁
You are just delightful! I’m so happy I found your channel.
Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful treasures I love the little creamer or little container that has sort of an Asian feel to it thank you so much for sharing it
Just discovered this channel will definitely watch all the old videos, very interesting. Loved this video.
Welcome Patricia! Say, I’m curious how you stumbled upon me? Glad we found each other, no matter how!
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.💚☘💚
This is my first video. You r light, refreshing, of another era.
Hey Aunt Victoria!! It's Odie, just saying hi and to let you know I have been enjoying the magical memories I have from my visits through Yankee. So exciting to see all of your adventures on this wonderful channel. - A dedicated Channel Mammal
Odie, my Grand Channel Mammal Nephew! Aye, Matey! I have noticed a few times, your name popping up and I have been observing you, as well! (Odegaard_the_bold, on Instagram. I wanted to ” follow” you formally but I'm not even sure how🤔. I ask folks to “follow” my Instagram but I had never know how. I think it is a bit oblique. Wittika is staying on board right now but Uncle Richard and I are up state mowing and climbing trees! It is so much fun! Wittika goes off to France on Saturday and then returns for the summer. We have one boat boy and one boat-boy-girl from mexico right now, and we always have Xeno! For the first time in 20 years, no chickens🙄, but I am wanting to build a master playhouse for hens quarters top-side! Want to come join us? Any time and for however much time you like, you can come be a boatboy again, aboard Yankee. Also anyone else whom you think would like to work hard, play hard and visit the wilderness of NYC, welcome aboard!
I miss you very very much. I felt like you and Honey and we had a relationship beyond human. It was/is, for real, and real FUN 😁
Ahoy, Laddie!
I have adored you for your genuine joy in the whimsical after seeing you years ago on some kind of home competition show. You showed true class and individuality, and I thought you were this beautiful hero for those who wanted to be free.
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.
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
Victoria, I keep sharing you with my friends! So glad your channel is growing!💕
I’m sure it is much due to your generosity, Sharon. Isn’t it wonderful how His garden grows?
I'm so excited! Just discovered your channel. I'm slightly familiar with your work. I love all the whimsy and it looks like your home is that way too. I can't wait to see your other videos.
Victoria, you are the queen of whimsy... Love your creative decorating ideas!
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.
Pamela, thank you! I love every way the light rests and glints off the damask. I cherish it. I love your history lesson!
This video just came up on my feed & I’m so happy it did. I really enjoyed the video & subscribed :) I love your beautiful personality & I’d bet we’d be kindred spirits! I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos.
Love your free spirit and extraordinary personality your happy vibration! I am so happy I found 👓 your Channel 💕 👵🏻🤚😺 🐶🖖👽👍 ❤️😇
Thank you for sharing! I absolutely ADORE the MacKenzie-Childs brand you started. I first discovered your work when you were featured on TLC’s Four Houses and have since become a major collector. 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 TH-cam 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 :)
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 ... 🙏🌈🌄😘
Thanks so much. Would like to see more of your amazing home!
i love watching your decor style.
its so interesting.
i love how you have a story behind every piece in your home.
& how each piece brings you joy.
i am slowly decorating my home with handmade piece i make.
i either make them by hand, restore thrift finds or use Dollar tree finds to make my decor pieces.
i recently made a MacKenzie-Childs inspired video.
i just love your spirit!
xox
I love your kitchen chairs and the flower boots!
That was account thing! I had not thought to do it until that very moment. There is always humor and an answer how to express it every way and day!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 😍
Victoria, l love your channel !! I watched you on the show ( 4 houses) I think that was the name. Love your story's and teaching and of course your decor. God Bless you
I'm a new subbie sent from The Little Blue Fly, and I have to tell you that I so enjoyed your tour of the galley! I especially enjoyed learning about the reason for ships having portholes. There's nothing better in my book than adding to my knowledge in such a fun way. I'll be on the lookout for more gems like that in your videos. Thank you for all you do with such enthusiasm, positivity, and spirit.
Ahoy, Katie! I am so happy to meet you. Isn’t it wonderful that The Wee Blue Fly had the generosity of heart to share HER discovery of new knowledge with YOU ALL? I think it was one of her subscribers who introduced her to my channel.
Well, my friend, there is much more to come in the beyond on this voyage together! Thanks for joining the crew. Tally Ho, Victoria
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.
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
You brightened my day with your warm, cheerful manner. Lovely, very personal kitchen. Love your style.

Hi my awesome friend you always have such a beautifully displayed table never thought of using the boots for a Flower vase. You always bring so much joy into my life always have everything so beautiful and colorful.

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
Ha!! I love MacKenzie Childs style!! I too subscribe to Little Blue Fly and saw she has a few Mackenzie Childs pieces~ namely THAT frog mat!! 🐸 Ahhh-dorable!! So glad to have found your channel!!
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 💐
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😃
My mother had the same Shirley Temple mug. I'm not very creative but every now and then inspiration strikes. Yesterday, I was watching a Christmas decor "haul" and couldn't believe how much money was spent on decorative boxes and books. 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.
So happy to see your videos! I remember seeing you when y’all first bought the Yankee and were designing ottomans with such fun fabrics!!!
just today,,i found a gorgeous antique curved glass currio,,one of side glass broke halfway out....just watching you now inspired me,,,im gonna put a designed thin plexyglass,,and decoupage that area..i so love your creativeness....
Such Fun.....A True Treasure Trove ! Again Thank You so much for sharing❣
..
Cheryl, and thanks for commenting. I’m getting behind with expressing gratitude but not in feeling it! I’ll catch up. Hope you read some of my earlier responses because different thoughts come out with each interaction with the comments. Love, Victoria
The little robot sugar container was super cute I really enjoyed it I like seeing how different people have use different things to operate into something precious by repurposing and reusing things they have found
I just found your channel. it's such fun to see your home. I'm happy to say that my daughter & I were privileged to meet you many years ago at your home near Aurora. She was invited to your home after being accepted as a student at Alfred U.
Subscriber because of The Little Blue Fly.....love the inspiration. So happy to watch your videos.
Ahoy, Wm & Dm
Well you just go an tell the wee Blue Fly, next time you see her, how much she is loved, eh? But don’t tell her that a pretty little something I made for her out of something that was definitely made JUST FOR her! It will be a surprise. I never know when such surprises will be ready so, let’s keep it a whisper till the happy day, eh?
Such a beautiful arrangement! I love your kitchen!
I just found your channel. Wow so enjoyable. You gave me a lot of decorating ideas❤️
Nice to welcome you, Miss Fry!
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..
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 TH-cam 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
Oh dear you are a sweetheart. I am so glad I listened to Beverly from the little blue fly and flew over to your Channel. I just Love your little place and especially how you entered. I will deffently be back to see you again. Thank you for taking us along for this Amazing Tour. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed Evening and Stay Safe my dear Friend. Oh I must tell you I Love your outfit. 💚😊💚😊💚😊💚
Hello Joan! My goodness what a lovely comment! I do hope you can SUBSCRIBE, for there is much to see as we grow forward. So grateful to begin to know you. Fondly, Victoria
You’re so charming and so is your home. I love all your ideas…I once planted flowers in my son’s old high top sneakers….
Ha! How funny, and sneakers breath so perfect for real live plants to enjoy … also, they don’t have noses to smell this dirty old sneakers, eh?
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Lol!!! You must know my son….lol!!
Its delightful, practical and I love it. Thank you for sharing with us. Are your children as creative as you? I subscribed.
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.
I love your videos, your creativity is unique. Love from Holland.
Ahoy, Alice! We have spent some time in Netherlands. Did you notice two of our very first collection of patterns were named after, Alsace & the other one, Keukenhof!
So happy to meet you
Late to your party….love your cheerfulness and your story..looking forward to exploring all your works!
Marilyn, you are never too late! Welcome aboard. We are in the very beginning of great growth and goodness … opening thecway for others to trust their own individuality and their own great gifts. This is the essence of Freedom, upon which our nation was created, and upon which thecworld pivots, if only we can be pure and strong in that purity, there is no end to the blessings, not only to all of us but to all the oneness of our source … our eternal connection with the good of every man. Ahoy, Victoria
Oh, I’m so glad Marilyn! Are you still here? Did you subscribe ? Hope so
Just now found you Victoria. Question, is this where you live full-time? I love the way you display your treasures, everything is so bright and colorful, so very pretty. Just like you I have a lot of things that I love, but mine is mostly stored away in boxes. It’s to much for me to keep clean and dusted. It became overwhelming, so I’m wondering if you would consider sharing with us your routine for keeping things dusted, neat and orderly. 🙂
Are you sure you aren’t out of a Mary Poppins movie? You are so colorful! But of course you are! So much fun!!!
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!!!
Wow, I learned a lot. Especially the math & physic lesson. Ahh, the magic of the circle. Truly a creative and intelligent woman.
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. 😊
I agree!!! That struck me as well and I will not fuss about them in the future😀
Hi Victoria, I very much enjoyed your 'gad about the galley'. You tell your stories very well and explain your favorite objects in such a charming manner.
Great to see you today, Tucker, my née buddy! I’m glad you are taking the time to explore, and that you are finding your own inspiration in the discovery of my inspiration … all from the same everflowing source, eh?
Ahoy, Victoria
New sub here. I remember when Christopher Lowell interviewed you on one of his programs. I was enchanted with your creative style! Looking forward to more V M-C!
You personality is infectious. I clicked because of your style, recognized your chairs, and finally realized who you are. Im smitten💜✌
Hi My super friend! I’m so glad these earlier comments came to me just now, as I can answer to a few. Looking forward to knowing you better
I enjoyed the tour of your kitchen and love Xeno drinking his water out of a glass. Love your cat he is so cute!
Oh, wow! Join my fan club! I usually always felt closer to our dogs than to our cats, but sine we don’t have our dear dogs of late, Xeno has come to my rescue! He so so precious, you can’t imagine! He is a wonderful best friend! Every day we joy with him snd his rich contribution to everyone who meets him. Ahoy!
You, my dear, are an inspiration. I absolutely loved the tour our your galley with all the fun facts.
Hello Carol! I’m so glad to hear from you. Have you commented before? I don’t feel like I recall any comments. So glad to hear from you. Hope you subscribe snd can keep close. Part two of the Galley Gadabout will be coming soon. Hope to see you then too. Ahoy!
Hi Victoria,
I just found your channel!
I met you in Grand Central Station in NYC, I came up to meet and you were an absolutely delight, so friendly and warm!!
I have loved Mackenzie Childs forever! You and Richard are a true treasure!!
Hi Sheila! Oh, I think I remember our chance meeting. What a wonderful world, eh?
I’m a new channel mammal. Is that what you call us?! You are so interesting and fun. I’m amazed with your energy and how you run and jump everywhere! I love your taste in decorating and collecting unusual items. Your clothes are so beautiful and your talents in sewing amazes me.
Thank you for teaching me about living on a ship and your neighborhood.
I love your glass curtains!
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!
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.
I love your work, I’m so glad I found your vlog.jay,my partner and I discovered your work years ago but didn’t know who you and Richard were. Thank you so much for all the beauty you both have brought to the world. As an artist I can relate to the problems of the business world exploiting artists. I would love to visit you some day!!! Thank you thank you thank you.
Hi Jay! Thank you so much for your sincere comment. You might want to visit Patreon. Have you heard of it? That is where we would be having events together and so forth, and for very little you can do a great deal of good support. Hope to meet again soon.!
So many special ideas. " Save your scraps at the end of the day". I still save most scraps, bits and bobs for making tiny clothing. Doll clothing!
Oh, Tricia, you are one who could save SCRAPS of SCRAPS! I wish you were at the end of MY cutting table fetching the tiniest morsels … not a mite left to feed the rubbish today with you round!
I’ve always loved your style, an wanted to be daring like you!!! You are my hero!!!
Beautiful video. I really enjoyed it.
Love the little tea pot on top of the line that was so cute and clever
Thank goodness, finally your own Chanel!!!!! 🌷👍🌼👍🐰
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!
I love your boat and absolutely everything inside it! I’m looking forward to your next video. Your cat is sweet, too.
Thanks, Sue, Xeno our cat is sitting next to me right now! I passed on your kindness to him😊

Hello Victoria! Your channel popped up on my feed after I started to look up DIY book pages wallpaper. So glad that it did!! I've always loved MacKenzie-Childs patterns, but never knew the "story" behind the the company. It's been tons of fun getting to know you😻!
Ahoy, Kimberly! Gosh, isn’t that amazing how we find each other in seemingly random ways? But surely it is a naturally right idea, which blesses each other snd many others.
Now, of course we don’t really know each other in the traditional ways of shaking hands, & a how-do-you-do, and I’m a little bashful to ask this, but, can you share the videos as far and in as multiple ways you can think of? The viewership is so low it is hard to even exist, yet, I KNOW that what is gently found within is of kindred interest and of great importance to Americans (even round the world today, right NOW). It might take some time on your part, but it would really make a huge difference in our, really, I think, our joint desire to save our American Dream and, by example, our world! Also, maybe tell folks about Patreon, for if everyone pledges just a wee few dollars a month (pennies a week) for this that inspires and lifts their day, well, it would really help the channel to survive and, even THRIVE!). Thank you so much, Kimberly, for considering this kind effort. I am going to tell every person of this need, now. So perhaps we shall see a giant step forward if everyone agrees about the importance of a voice which is practical in the American manner of Principle and its effects for all mankind, eh?
Gratefully, Victoria MacKenzie-Childs
Met you once on dry land in Aurora NY. MC esthetics has been instilled in so many. Including me - Thank you!
How fun that was.
Thank you 😊
Thanks, Tina! Have we met? I don’t recall responding to a person named Tina before. Well, thank you for your comment and welcome aboard!
Hey Sis! Glad to see you are still living the dream on your boat!
