Mrs Frugal Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 That sounds lovely!! Even really old books have great ideas and tips so for 10p it's bound to be useful. Not very exciting plates, unfortunately CM but one of them is a nice oval platter and has lovely lilacs on which I'm chuffed to bits with for 50p .
