because they remind me of my favourite coffee pot and creamer. This set gathered years ago from the local lifeline store, it was one of those days when you go for a wander and you know you are going to find something really special and if you find it at the first opshop it is enough and you just want to come home, make it all sparkly again and admire it over and over. I had a similar experience a couple of weeks ago, I call it my $5.00 day, I went to said opshop and upon walking into the front door was this amazing 1950's wrought iron garden table for $5.00 - bargain. So whilst I'm oohing and aahing over the table the ladies behind the counter say "it just came in this morning" and so I ask if it came with chairs. They say they sent some chairs into the other shop in town this morning so I purchase the table and off I go to see if I can find some matching chairs, not too worried if they are not there because really the table is such a find anyway. So I get to the one in town and I'm walking through the chair section and I spot something under a canvas cover on a nearby lounge, and I am thinking it can't be because this opshop has a special "collectables" room with all the vintage goodies in so I am getting very excited because from a distance I am thinking it has got to be a vintage typewriter under its original canvas cover. And it was and I took it up to the counter to ask the man how much it would be and he says "Is $5.00 alright love" and I say yes that's great and so concluded my $5.00 opshop day!
