Looks lovely Thistle - I was just thinking about your dresser as I was logging in, wondering if you'd managed to pick it up.
Just popping in as have been absent for ages it seems - just wanted to check in and see that you're ok. Bet you spend all night looking at it!

Thank you Smolly! I'm so glad that you are back, we were getting worried!
The dresser has had generations of waxing and polishing and is so smooth - every time I walk by I need to touch it. I can't wait to sort it out tomorrow:happylove0 -

It's taken far too long but I am done for the moment. I have a fair bit more Cornishware that I don't use very often, it's on display top of the kitchen cupboards. I may thin down the collection but it's unlikely. I have freed up a huge amount of space, things like the kitchen scales are awkward and don't fit neatly anywhere. I'll go through all the cookbooks and see if I really need them all. I can now re-organise the kitchen and for the most part, everything should have it's own place where it is stored out of sight.
The top isn't really slanted, I managed to take the photo at a weird angle::happylove0 -
