Love the Meakin! I am always on the lookout for anything made by them, yesterday I found a coffee pot, cake stand, platter and some side plates! It was a good day for Meakin.
I will try to post them on the blog soon.
Take care x

Things were made to last back then weren't they and how do people part with this stuff??!! That Engagement card is divine. Would love to see the fabrics you won on E-Bay too... Pruxxx
