I told dad that I'd be thrilled to have it but he had to know that we'd use it and it would absolutely get broken. He said, 'nothing would make your mom happier than knowing her family is USING the dishes. Let them break.'. Gah. Makes me so happy. <br /><br />We've been tracking with the tiny house movement for at least five years. I am a clutter bug and my husband could live in a monastery - and I am finally beginning to long for LESS. So we're purging, it seems, all the time. Nothing comes into the house without DOUBLE leaving - if you buy a shirt, get rid of two - and that has made a BIG BIG difference. Hard still with three kids at home but that's not a lament because SUDDENLY, it's flying and they're all leaving. What on earth. <br /><br />And also, we can't wait to move to England. In our tiny house. :)<br /><br />Love.<br />S<br />ps - Tyrese leaves for basic training next Tuesday.

And, like you, I find myself wanting less and less. I (sort of) jokingly told my husband yesterday that when he retires in less than 3 months, we should just sell the house and live in our travel trailer while touring the country. And, since I doubt we'll really do that, I'm off to Amazon to look for Cornishware!<br /><br />Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386723637642042374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-13355047560213461462019-01-06T06:06:40.711-06:002019-01-06T06:06:40.711-06:00I have never paid much attention to Cornishware ap...I have never paid much attention to Cornishware apparently. It is pretty, though. I'm with you about clutter. I'll finish homeschooling next year, Lord willing, and I cannot wait to get rid of all the accoutrements that come with that, mainly books and papers! It could be because I'm getting older and I don't want my kids to have to go through tons of STUFF when I'm gone.

I always notice it on those wonderful old painted sideboards in British films. So glad you are collecting it now. I may have to get myself a piece as well. I am a long-time antiques collector and have seen it in shops before, but not often. Who would have thought that new pieces would be available on Amazon (what don't they have??). So glad to see you are posting again...I have missed you and your wonderful photography and straight-to-the-heart musings.<br /><br />Debbie Z.

But there are good & not so good ones so you have to look through the photos & go to a few to find the people whose sales you like. (some you won't).
