My Cornwall buys

I did quite well on our 2 week holiday and didn't buy 'too' much.

In Totnes i bought this Enid Blyton book in The Oxfam bookshop which i have wanted for a while and some bargain £1 fabric from a little fabric shop near the market. I got these great cards in St. Ives - i may frame the top one.
This gorgeous tin is full of fudge - although i bought it for the tin as i don't like fudge (luckily there are 3 males in the house that do) And this gorgeous teatowel is from a lovely little shop in Fowey, i also got 2 cute little magnets but i can't find them!! I've either thrown them away or they are still wrapped up in something that was in the suitcase!!

I loved th Garden of Heligan shop - i got this potato bag (i hope it works, i always get leftover manky potatoes) And i was sooooo impressed with the lovely cakes in the cafe there that i bought the recipe book. You can find some of the recipes of cakes that we tried at the end of this post.

I saw this mug and loved it!! I wasn't going to get it because i have so many mugs, but my hubby said 'Get it, it's so you!!' I'm not sure if i should be happy with that or not - hee hee

At a Steam fair i bought this gorgeous little painting for my dollshouse. The lovely little lady had some large paintings and a few small dollshouse ones - She told me that she handpaints them using a magnifying glass - they are all of beaches near where she lives in Cornwall.

I always like my christmas decorations to mean something and have come from places we have been- so these will be the new additions to our tree this year.

Being a Mummy i don't often get to use delicate little bags - i need sturdy over the body types - this will brighten up my jeans and tees.

The recipe that we actually tried was apricot slice - just using a thick jam.
