A lovely surprise pressie from my Aunt- the very one who bought me the matching casserole dish! You gotta love Meakin's 'Topic' pattern! Happy Monday everyone, Jo xx
Oh, this prompted a dig around in the sideboard for me! I have a complete Meakin poppy coffee set that I picked up in my local charity shop for £10 a few years ago. I don't use it really, and don't have the space to keep it out on display. Thanks for reminding me of something beautiful!
Lucky you, it's fab! I saw a Meakin coffee pot at the flea market recently but the seller wanted 25 quid for it and I just wasn't prepared to pay that. I love vintage but I also love a bargain :-) x
I know Col- she didn't say what she paid but I bet it wasn't that much. Retro stuff is at such a premium just now. Sure one more affordable will come along soon, Jxx
