Perusing one of the local op-shops today I came across this little gem. Many of you would know my love, and extensive collection, of Cornishware. This jug has a chip on the spout, but apart from that it's in good nick, and the price? Wait for it ....... 15 bucks! Yay for me.

Mum told me last year that Cornishware, or rather, TG Greene had gone bust which was very depressing. However the other day when Ant was surfing Flickr, he came across these photos - aren't they adorable! Reading the users profile I learnt that the company has since been saved, so there'll be more Cornishware goodness to come. Nice.....

    oh what a wonderful find! I just popped over to the link on Flickr and it's adorable! My grandmother had the blue Cornishware when I was a little kid and I loved it, the memory of it is one of those that stays with you. all your sewing in your last post is amazing! does put me to shame, I hardly get any done and I don't have a new born bub

    That's a relief. It would be a shame for it never to be made again. Nice jug, fantastic price. Well done.
