Good afternoon all!
I've been out on the flea markets today.
I was thrilled to spot this
super little Cornishware salt shaker!
Actually it was my mum who
saw it first.....eyes like an eagle that women!
Her top haggling skills made this a total bargain.......at £3.50!
I was so pleased she was able to come out today.
She felt well enough to brave the cold.
Mum enjoyed it too, as she hates being cooped up!
I have a small collection of Cornishware, as the prices
are usually out of my moth infested purses comfort
zone.
So, I tend to buy pieces that are chipped, crazed or having missing tops...etc!
I just adore the shade of blue and the jolly stripes
really cheer up my day!
See you soon....

I love that wire shelf display and the way its arranged. Cornishware is lovely. I like the colour red and they now do it in red and white, though sadly Not for £3.50
I want that cinnamon pot! Our local 'cheap shop' is doing a blue stripe range at the moment that's lovely just without words x
Mr B found a cracked Cornishware bowl the other day. I'm gonna grow bulbs in it I think.
I've inherited 6 big, lidded pots from my mum. Even as a kid I was always wary of touching them in case they got damaged. Now I know that they are so collectable, I've just left them in her flat for now. Just too scared to bring them home!! Daft, isn't it?

Great find. I'm liking blue and white too, I have one jug which I use a lot and yesterday I found a small mixing bowl for a £1.00. Just need some shelves to put them on. Lolo xx
Blue and white is my favourite too but do you know what .... I don't have one piece of Cornishware .... do you think I dare start another collection ;-)
Your wire shelf is lovely and displays everything perfectly x
I love it too Mel and have only a couple of pieces,i did have a cheese dish in blue and white stripes and that reminds me I have not seen it for ages..daughter may have snuck it out the door I must look..Just sweet your display is..
Wow what a bargain! My cornishware collection like yours has missing lids due to the usually high prices.
I love it too it feels really sea sidey!
Great bargain
Take care

Wow what a bargain ;-)) I love the blue and white stripe's to and Cornish ware is gorgeous. Your shelf looks lovely and warm and cosy. dee x
Love the stripes, all of the pieces really stand out on your shelves!!How lucky you were that your Mum could make it out!
How funny, after I left you a comment earlier I got an email from Dorset Cereals who are just up the road from me. They've got a competition on their rather fun website to win a vast quantity of Cornishware. Take a look if you've time.

Cornishware is always so cheerful. Good find! x
Hi Mel Mel. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I was looking at several of your posts and realized that it will always be spring in your home--all the pretty, soft colors, stripes, and patterns. I like your wire display shelf with the pottery pieces. I love items that are 'dirt cheap' also! Hope you feel better soon! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
