More Meakin

Hello there. I hope that you are having a good weekend. This week I was lucky to find not one but two casserole dishes that match the Studio Meakin coffee pot I found last week. I can only assume that they must have had the same owner, so now I am hoping that I didn't miss anything else.




I also found another Studio Meakin casserole dish with a lovely rose design.



These were all just £1 each! Unfortunately I am a terrible cook so casseroles won't be being made in any of these. They will remain for ornamental use only, maybe that's a good thing.

And finally something that I have been looking for for a long time.....



1960's pillowcases! I love this kind of print and am always on the lookout for it. I would love to find it in larger quantities, maybe a bedsheet, but for now I am happy with these. Now I have the problem of whether to use the fabric to make something or use them as they are. I'm not sure that I can bear to cut into them. The one on the left even looks as though it has never been used.

For more thrifty finds pop on over to Sophie's...

    I gasped aloud when I saw your casserole, sure my Mum had something like that when we were younger!! I love the pillow cases too, Im always on the look out for some of that brushed cotton striped bedding, the kind we had as kids I just love it!

  6. Yes! the dilemma of whether to use the lovely floral pillowcases or cut up for the fabric: I have felt this too! Consequently the more worn ones I used and the gorgeous new in packet are tucked away!
    Lovely finds.
