Tea with Beatrix Potter/ Making Rabbits and Planting Herbs 

My late aunt, who considered me her only child. would often invite me over for "coffee chats." About once a month we would converse about life, our lives and our roles in life. This went on for nearly 20 years. Sadly, they are no more - but in memory remain constant. Your video rekindled in me the peace I felt when she and I would meet to share. I think most of your viewers would enjoy an afternoon of tea with you and your calming demeanor. Thanks for sharing your time.

This was the most magical video. I love watching you make your rabbits, Just beautiful. And the Beatrice Potter tea party was just lovely. So magical I loved the whole thing.

I'm so amazed by the process of making the rabbits

Those rabbits are over-the-top adorable!

I love your world !!!! In days like these we need something to bring warmth and freedom in the soul !!

That was the most delightful tea I have ever attended !! Your rabbits are exquisite, and such charming guests. Thank you for sharing such delightful tidbits on the life of my favorite Children's author / illustrator. My husband even watched with me . Quite enthralled even !

My late great- Aunt Bertha, who was in the Women's Air Corps during WW 2, bought me a mail order set of Beatrix Potter books when I was a girl. Mrs. Tiggy Winkle was always my favorite, though I love them all. Now my daughters enjoy them as well, one of which is named Lucy. Our older daughter once created an imaginary pet hedgehog for me, named Sparkle, who wore a little bow on her head. She told me to " remember Sparkle now and then, so she doesn't disappear forever." 🦔🎀 I so enjoyed you video, thank you.

I love beatrix potter. When I was a child we used to go to the Lake district every year and her house.

***BEHOLD*** I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL HAPPEN BEFORE MY VERY EYES. I'M HOOKED FOR LIFE..... THANK YOU FROM MY WHOLE HEART

I've been totally mesmerized and enchanted by this lovely video. Not only did I learn so much more about Beatrix Potter, I also see why your gardens, felted animal characters, and story telling have such a cohesive and charming nature. You are such a talented narrator, Jeri, and you have taken me on another magical journey. This was perhaps one of my favorites!! I love the ambience of the tea party, mixed with your antiques and garden planning. All the things that I love. The world seems better after watching your video, so thank you♥️

I enjoyed the tea with both you and the Ladies! Thank you for making me feel warm and cozy...😍☺️🤗

You have made my day. Those lovely rabbits cause me to want to learn needle felting. I’ve dabbled a bit but need to learn more. You are so calming and relaxing. It’s such a pleasure when one of your videos comes on. Thank you for your knowledge.

You are indeed a wonderful story teller in your own right dear Jeri. Thank you for sharing, creating and teaching. I just love to watch you felt your sweet critters. I would bet a whole video on watching you create these wonderful little creatures would be so appreciated, I know I would. Blessed be to you and all of the Hopalong Hollow family. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your artistic gifts. I enjoy your channel and find you relaxing and wise my dear. Have a nice evening and again thank you 💗

Loved our visit today, especially the tea with the girls. 🤗

I know this is a lot of hard work creating fiber art but it's almost a magical creation. Please, sharing the art of by gone artists I'm sure it will be an awakening for many, It's a rich history. Thank you once again.

I’m so very impressed with those beautiful rabbits! Love this

Jeri, you have such a soothing voice and it is so beautiful how you bring the old things back to us and have us slow down for a few moments. Your art is so stunning and encourages me to be more creative. It puts tears in my eyes as I listen to you. You truly have a gift and I thank you for sharing it with us

I sat down this morning and really enjoyed your film. You are so talented.

I love everything Beatrix Potter ever wrote. Renee Zellweiger made a move of her life called Miss Potter that stays true to what you shared with us today, I love that movie and watch it from time to time .Thank you so very much. I love all your videos.

It was so lovely visiting with you and Beatrix Potter! Thank you!

Well I must say this is one of my very favorite videos you’ve ever done! You touched on many things that are very near and dear to my heart...especially colonial gardens and Beatrix Potter! I’ve had so much fun having tea with you and your beautiful rabbit ladies! I’m still fairly new to needle felting, so it was so nice to be inspired by you once again. I’m so thankful to have found your RU-vid channel...it’s a favorite for sure! Thank you again ❣️ps...today would have been m great grandmothers 118th birthday. She lived to be almost 102 😊

Never to long. Enjoyed this very much. Blessings

Thank you for such a lovely tea party.

As usual Jeri ~ Such a Wonderful time spent w/ you and the ladies ! Thanks for sharing the making of these Rabbits as well as Beatrix's history etc ~ Loved the Tea Party ! You are so very talented : )

This is perfect Jeri video-gardening, baking, litter critters, and a wonderful talk about Beatrix Potter…perfection, thank you Jeri.

I could watch you do this all day long ! There is something very peaceful about it. The rabbits

This tea session was very dear to my heart when I was pregnant with my daughter, a customer gave me the tales of beatrix potter.

I always enjoy your tea time, and your companions are so sweet.

Also, so interesting to watch you create your ‘lovely ladies’...what a talent...did you also make their clothing and accessories?.... {hats and shoes}

My favorite Channel !! Love it so Much !

So delightful - I do love Peter and his naughty ways. The movie was so wonderful about Miss Potter and Susan Branch does a picnic in those glorious gardens - how I would love to join her

That was so much fun! Oh those lovely lady rabbits. You are so talented. Thanks for inviting us over for tea and to meet these lovely lady rabbits. Can we play again next week? Smile.

I just wanted to say that you showing how labor intensive your felting animals is should show those who have never done this technique will have them appreciating the love that goes into each character..

this is asmr to me

i sat down and gave myself a manicure while watching this. very relaxing and informative. thank you

You did NOT let this video go "far too long"... After a heavy day of working with people of different personalities, it's wonderful to hear about Beatrix Potter and her characters...

What a fun video today Jeri! I love all things Beatrix Potter & was blessed to travel to England with my mother to tour the Lake District about 25 years ago. My mother has since passed, but I will not forget seeing Windemere with her from our boat on the Lake. What a lovely site it was! Her influence is everywhere there...as well as around the world! Your video did her complete justice....as well as your lovely bunny ladies and your future herb garden plans. Keep up the great work and thanks again so much for sharing your amazing talents with us💕

Love this and your rabbits.

What a lovely video with Beatrix Potter and the girls. I love Peter rabbit and all the mischief he gets up to in Mr mcgregor's garden.

Loved this video, also love Beatrix Potter. Taught Kindergarten for 30 years, always shared her books, the students loved the stories. Thank you for your time making this wonderful video.

I am in awe of your skill in making these rabbits and all the birds etc you make. A real keepsake and something to treasure forever.

I always find joy and peace watching whatever you do! ❤️👍👏

This was such a wonderful video Jeri, your talent is amazing, I was was fascinated by watching you make your gorgeous rabbits too. Since I’ve been following you I have gotten into the habit of taking tea every afternoon and when you have a new video I have tea with you! Please keep your darling videos coming, I am such a big fan of yours!

I love this and your creatures, very delightful!

What a delightful video! Thank you so much for allowing me to join you charming tea party. I loved watching you work the wool. I have my Mother's cotton cards which she used to comb the cotton that was raised on the same Kentucky farm that I now live on. I will enjoy watching this again. Thank you so much.

Thanks for such a lovely tea and informative chat

O, Jeri , thank you for beautiful " Good Morning " !

Dear lady, y'all are so talented! Y'alls rabbits are truly beautiful! GOD BLESS.

Sweet,Sweet,Sweet memories were reawakened for me! Thank you for making it real.

I learned so much about Beatrix Potter in this video. You are a wonderful storyteller! What a legacy and you make it so magical.

Those rabbits are adorable and look real. I love Beatrix Potter. I always like Mrs. Tiggywinkle. This was just incredible. Loved it.

How adorable your bunnies are. I love all things Beatrix Potter and your channel is like visiting an old friend. 🥰

One of my favorites of Beatrix Potter is The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck. Those rabbits are amazing! Such expressions! And wonderful company during tea time.

This video has been featured in the October newsletter of The Beatrix Potter Society. Congratulations to Jeri! 💐💐💐

Thank you for your time ! Time is so valuable ! Keep making lengthy videos ! It is a beautiful spot in the day

Hello Jeri, I Love your girls!! I enjoyed having tea and your story telling, it was time very well spent, thank you. ☺️💗💗💗

I could sit all day and watch you create !!! Such talent!

This was one of THE MOST enchanting, delightful, and loveliest 38 minutes I think I've ever spent! Thank you so much! You are a jewel😘

What a lovely video. Enjoyed every minute. Your bunnies are adorable. What an amazing lady Beatrix was. Loved the journal too.

You are so talented ♥️

I don't know where to begin. You are an absolute unbelievably talented artist. I cannot stop watching your videos. Never have I had such a wonderful experience watching RU-vid videos. As others have stated, this is magical to say the least. I have quite a vintage collection of her figurines, music boxes. Your rabbits are works of art. How lucky your grandchildren are to have you. I'm back to binge watching your videos.

Dear Jeri, I enjoyed every minute of this video. You make me feel like one of your guests sitting at the teatable quietly listening to a story. I just love your other guests. They are just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. You bring so much magic back into my life.

Thank you for sharing Beatrix Potter's life story with us! I truly love her work. You are really gifted at making you felted animals.

I was able to get the Beatrix Potter Journal.. I have had it about two weeks now and just found the surprise on the inside back cover. I was so excited. Thank you for sharing this video. I have always loved her and her stories. I'm 68 and have had the pleasure of reading her stories for many years.

Oh Jeri, how wonderfully well you do these video's. Thank You for these lovely few minutes with you and the girls and Beatrix too. Dale

What a beautiful tribute! This video was so enjoyable! I love watching you create your beautiful rabbits & your beautiful gardens! Then you invite us to a little tea party with special little friends with a yummy dessert & then it's story time! It was wonderful to learn more about this famous artist Beatrix Potter! She was an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about so many things! Watching your videos is such an adventure!💐🤗

Hi Jeri. Such a charming tea time to share. The ladies all dressed in their finery! Thank you for giving me a space to slow down and reflect. I too am a fan of Beatrix Potter, herbs, gardening, and of course good tea in nice china :) I also love Tasha Tudor. May I ask where you found the gloves you're wearing in this video? I've looked everywhere for some. You're so talented; you probably knit them :) Always a pleasure when I see you have something new to share....stay warm, dry and cozy...

Awww that is to cute. Love Beatrice Potter. You are so talented. I love that tea brand too. I love all these things. Thx. You

What a beautiful soul you have! Thank you for this precious video and for the inspiration to purposefully live a sweeter, more thoughtful, and gentle and gracious life. You are a blessing! 🐇

How wonderful. I have always loved Beatrix Potter. How calming and peaceful this was.

It's so interesting to see your process for making felt animals. I've never tried that type of craft before, so it's fun to see how that works.

A wonderful video..lovely watching you making rabbits Jeri and the wonderful Beatrix Potter tea party.

Absolutely lovely and in my opinion.. Not long enough.. Your videos .. Woodland friends.. Tea and topics are a total delight 🐰🐑🐔🐴❤❤❤ thankyou 😊

I can’t even put into words how much I enjoy your videos Jeri. You are a gifted artist on every level. I adore tea time with you and your beautiful rabbit lady friends. I am so blessed by you sharing your beautiful talents.

I have always loved Beatrix Potter. Jemima Puddleduck was always my favorite, and I'm a passionate collector of vintage ducks and geese wearing bonnets because of her. The Pie and the Patty-Pan was always my other favorite. 🩵

From the very first seconds of this video...❤️.. from the satisfying, crunchy sounds of the "Felting" process creating your most Beautiful rabbits... And every blessed, single moment in between... Your video so deeply and completely Satisfied my soul. The love that which you cannot hide going into every bit of fabric... Every stitch and every detail. The same Love and Honor as you turned the pages of the books... paying homage in the Most BEAUTIFUL way, to our Beloved Miss Beatrix Potter . Today, in this far beyond "Fast Paced" world in which most of us are finding ourselves.. Watching and listening.. Serves also as a reminder to 'Take Time' for the things that gently feed our souls, and to follow our passions...through to every extent required ..and that our gifts of imagination can conjure up and create! Because you've shown us here, how very, very much, that it is worth it ! For me, watching this tonight had been more than a calm reward and treat for my Spirit... But it has actually quenched some long ago and deeply buried longings and desires from childhood that look for the magical in life. Those longings and desires, I believe, are the very things that creativity are birthed from. I am so grateful to you for following your Passion so deeply and for being so very dearly generous to us, in your sharing all of it. You are a very amazing and Spirited, multi gifted woman!❤️

So wonderful! Love the ladies joining you for tea! I love all things kitty cats, so I love The Tale of Tom Kitten, yet I love them all! Thank for these soothing walks down memory lane to a simpler time.

Wow! So Awesome Jeri! I love this so much🦆🦊🐇🌼

Thank for your introduction and showing your collection to all of us. I really enjoyed!

I love your story telling and i love your rabbits and the way you dress them up, and the names you come up with is truely unique.

She is how I found you!! 🥰🐇 Now I’m watching all your videos!!

I love watching you make your rabbits also, Jeri. It is everything you do that is inspiring to follow. ❤🙂

So magical. The quality of your videos is astounding. The rabbits are so beautiful. A special moment in the day. Thank you.

Mrs. Thomasina Tittlemouse was my favorite character since my older sister is Thomasina.Enjoyed all you shared with us today. Thank you.

Wow! Imagine getting a hard cover copy of the velveteen rabbit or Peter rabbit as a gift!

Wonderful video. We can see Ms. Potter's influence in your art, but you've taken the style to another level. Your work is just stunning. Thank the ladies there at the table for letting you tell us about Beatrice Potter without making a sound. They are just so charming, your rabbit ladies. I always look forward to your videos. Now, I need to get my herbs planted. Thank you! Tea was lovely. 💕

Goodbye ladies and thank you so much Jeri💕

Lovely walk down the lane to Beatrix Potters! Enjoyed the tea!

I had no idea Beatrix Potter was self published (at first). That's so cool! She had an interesting life in spite of her parents. Her little sketches are beautiful. When I was a kid I think my favorite story was The Tale of Two Bad Mice because I loved dollhouses

Thank you Jeri! love your felted rabbits and the Beatrice Potter tea party. Beautiful and magical!

What a beautiful lost art. Those little rabbits are darling. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous video. You have an exceptional voice and I'm sure we could listen to you all day long

YAY!!!!! I found it! This is one of my FAVORITE of your videos sweet Cottage Fairy! We LOVE you! Your work and videos are so healing, so simply magical! Thank you! Thank you!

Beautiful in every way. Balm for the soul indeed! ❤ Thank you so much Jeri❤🌹❤

I haven't felt this calm in a long time, this quite literally reduced me to tears. Thank you, really, deeply and genuinely I can never explain how much this video meant for me

I love the animals that you make and the stories as well. Anyone who can enchant children with stories about animals truly has a gift, as you do. Beatrix was an amazing woman of her time both in her writing and the heritage that she preserved. Thank you for this video. =-)
