💐 Yes, such an utterly calm & charming couple! Spending time with them is soothing for the soul as well as all the senses. 😍Truly adored their beautifully coordinated fashion look for this venture too. Live vicariously through their country lady & gent gear. 🍁Makes me wish I lived in the UK where it is ❄chilly and 💧rainy☔. 🐴Angelenos might not look like oddballs sporting that style if they hung around the equine circles of LA🏇. That is, if ever the temperature drops far enough to stand 😅wearing a blazer and long trousers. ☀️At 92°F & rising, we're back to sweltering Summer heat🌡. 🌤This was after enjoying a brief break of early 80s°F following the triple digit♨️heatwave @ the start of🍂October🍊. 👀Seeing all those spectacular 🍽 antiques & fine China on top of it all was the icing on the cake🍰. Nothing satisfies more for me than attractive dishware. 🥂Hope they enjoy many happy meals with their lovely new plates! 👏Applaud their disciplined outlook about acquiring, as much as their efforts to bring awareness to the Heritage museum and other local sites & businesses like it by drawing attention to them through their explorations. 💛Appreciate their wonder for historical places & things.🔍Love their curiousity & interest too. 😁Will happily join them for more day-tripping🌅.
The "Brexitware" is hilarious. Lovely, lovely Spode. Thank you for taking us along. As a Brit living abroad it's great to visit parts of my home country as we're discouraged from traveling right now and I really miss home. You are always well turned out and Joerg is looking rather dapper in his wool jacket and corduroy trousers. You two are awesome!
How beautiful !! What a wonderful kind man to go through with you and teach you about all of the gorgeous plates and history !! Definitely on my bucket list !!
The Potteries are such a big part of British history. You captured this footage with your Spode tour so well.Thank you both for your visit. My husband and I are making plans to visit over the next couple of weeks. The plates are gorgeous too. So look forward to all your videos guys.
@@KirstenJoerg , I got the buy of a lifetime at my local Goodwill store a year and a half ago. There was a matching pair of Spode Electric Square Vase Lamps & Shades with the design "Tower Blue," c. 1814, on them. The pair cost $24.99! I use these lamps daily and it is a delight to see them.
Could spend hours looking at all the beautiful dishes. You chose lovely ones, can't wait to see you use them, they'd make any meal very special ! See you next week.
My mom and I are always so happy whenever we see a new video of yours is out! We savour every moment of it :) You and Joerg are such a sweet couple, and I love your sense of style. Today I was especially excited to see you were at Spode, I’ve only recently heard of them and am obsessed with the cranberry.
Loved seeing the Spode collections! My eyes got lost in those stunningly intricate patterns and prints! My mom always loved serving even the simplest snacks and meals on gorgeous floral and printed china, and I never truly appreciated it until now. Looking at my cupboard that is full of plain IKEA dishes, it’s nice to think of the future perhaps when the kids are grown and I can have nicer dinnerware without breaking a sweat! Thank you both for a lovely tour. ❤️
I don't own any plain IKEA or Target dishes. Everything went out the door. I go to charity shops. buy mix and match amazing dishes and using daily. I don't display like some people, as displaying craze dishes from dryness, I use everything and feel like Royal. Even my cat eat from porcelain.
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 , A year and a half ago I bought two Spode lamps at my local Goodwill for $24.99 for the pair. When I checked Replacements Ltd. they had two of the same lamp available used for $249.99 each! I guess "low prices" are relative. You can also check ebay.
Really enjoyed the video! My wife and I have made trips to the UK each of the past 5 years and mix in plenty of tea rooms and antique shopping! It is certainly our happy place. Another wonderful antique centre is Hemswell near Lincoln...truly massive and loaded with great antiques and tearoom! Worth the trip!
Hi, Kristen and Joerg. I so enjoyed your trip to see antiques and then on to Trent-on-Stoke to see the Spode dishes. All of the Spode designs are so beautiful and interesting. Thank you as always for a lovely getaway!!!
So fun to go antiquing with you guys with your great sense of style and humor (Joerg on the phone was too funny:). I used to buy and sell antique china on eBay, so I was in heaven at the Spode shop. Thanks for bringing such joy and laughter to all of us all over the world who love and appreciate you so much🤗
It was so nice to see all the old "bygone" things at the antique shop. You are very right to buy only what you really love. I loved Spode, their China was lovely. I could have bought entire sets, it would have been so hard to choose. I loved your choice of plates. Joerg's pasty looked delicious. Thank you for another lovely video.
What a pleasant shopping day! I enjoy antique shops like Bygone Times and the Spode Heritage Center and Museum Shop was fun. My education is in Historical Archaeology so when (as a graduate student and early career) I see all that China, it would often be in the form of shards only. We were eager to find bits and pieces with trademarks. So much of the ceramics found in historic privies and fort communities in the US from 1800s was like what you see in the a Blue Room of the Spode Museum. I appreciate your last comments about supporting the museums that rely on visitors and their purchasing from the museum shop, especially now during uncertain times. I have worked for historical museums and funding is often weighing on their ability to offer more programs. Thank you❤️
My goodness. First, you both look so nice! Secondly, the Scottish figurines were my favorite things at the antique center. I loved them. I’d be spinning in circles trying to choose a bit of Spode. That was fun. And I loved the museum tour. This was a fabulous video. Thanks you so much. ❤️
Thank you for sharing, and I love your idea of planning special china and other great details that you can do to make Christmas day and dinner special this year. That is a shame that you can't get back to visit family.
Hi Kirsten and Joerg :-). Thanks so much for sharing this excellent video :-). I greatly appreciate it :-). Thanks so much indeed for sharing this it was really really fun to watch I have to say :-). Nice looking museums and I would so love to pay a visit there in the future :-). Hopefully in 2021 I'll pay a visit there since I'm not travelling up north at the moment. The only times I've ever travelled up north was whenever visiting Uncle John one of my really closely beloved relatives. I hope to see him in 2021, I should certainly think he'll still be alive by 2021 despite mobility issues but I shall certainly see you two :-). I like exploring museums or heritage locations very very much like you two Kirsten and Joerg I really really do :-). Thanks so much for sharing this excellent video I thoroughtly enjoyed every minute of this :-). Alright then, have a nice evening you two and take grave care of yourselves :-). From your friend Foxy :-).
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, it was so delightful to see the Spode collection! It is especially dear to me, because my husband and I inherited the huge red Spode collection from his grandma ! I don't even know how many pieces we have- more then hundred! Thank you for your warm and cozy videos! 😍 from USA.
I just love, love, love the spode brown and white china with the birds and animals. I love it all. Thanks again. Can't wait to see your Christmas table.
Hell kirsten and Joerg ,,,,keep going ,,, im just here present and enjoying with the two...... keep safe and healthy always.. Loving from Philippines....
The Spode museum tour was brilliant! The tour guide was so kind to help you go around the Blue Room of Spode. Thank You for showing us it. --- I really liked the huge antiques mall too.
What a beautiful couple you both are .One of the most adorable I think I've seen. I just absolutely love how you do everything together its very beautiful
What a wonderful day and I adore the plates etc that you chose. Simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing your day. Your husband has the most beautiful hands.
I had a pastie for the first time ever this year, I agree with Joerg, delicious! There are hoarders, and then, there are collectors... I would collect that Spode in minute!
Spode. Bless you, bless you. I love it. Bet you couldn't guess. We are all shopping vicariously through you. I bought that phone. You look great in your matching outfits.
We enjoyed this, as always, Kirsten & Joerg... and love your idea to get some new wonderful serveware to make your solitary holidays more special. I think we will do the same!
Wonderful visits today! Loved the Modern Girl book.. and such beautiful Spode China as well! Thank you Kirsten and Joerg.. once again adding beauty, music, history and English places of interest to our lives!
Love browsing in shops like these. Living in a small cottage as well, I understand lack of storage. But having what we love and use. Paring down my wardrobe as we "speak"🐑 Lovely day. Dankeschoen!
Love Spode (Grandma had a few pieces) and the museum and the gentleman who explained the 1815-1830 pieces was so informative. Thank you! This was wonderful.
