A little Op Shopping last weekend

Hi Y'all!
I did a little Op Shopping last weekend, oh wait... it was the weekend before actually. {Whoosh... hair blows around as time goes rushing past}. I don't want to say it (for the millionth time), but where is this year going in such a hurry? So I was heading over to Bankstown to pick up a photobook, and I realised I could nip over to the Vinnies real quick, if I parked in the Target carpark. Do you do that? Plan your weekly shopping around which Op Shops you'd like to go to? Sometimes if I need to quickly get something from Woolies, I might head over to Chester Hill Woolies (not my closest) so that I can take a peek at their Salvos. {cheeky smile}. Or if I'm going to Spotty I might "Drop By" Lidcombe Salvos for a look-see too! {hiding face into shirt}. Ok, I just plan my week around Op Shops, lets face it.
So, back to Bankstown.... You have to run, if you're going there from the Shopping Centre, cos it's not too safe. Ok, well, that's not true. It's much safer than going to the Smith Family store, cos it's really in the crime centre of town and I was soooooo uncomfy going there. I was praying hard for protection as I passed many a seedy looking drug addict and dodgy looking loiterer around the station. It was a crap Op Shop too, so I risked my life for nothing! {smirk} No wonder Willy always bangs on: "Be Careful!" when I go to Bankstown or Auburn or Guildford, It was scary! Apologies if you live in Bankstown. And Hello! Cos we're Neighbours {wink!}

This week at Vinnies I did find some gems, however, so Yay! {chest bump}. Felicity (my sis) has been looking for a big Silver Coffee Pot for Sienna's Birthday Party and was going to bid on one on eBay, but they were going for $30. Bankstown, being the ethnic capital it is, was filled with Silver Coffee Pots (like they have about 20!) and this one was on sale for $10 cos it has a little ding in the side. {pfffew! It's nothing!} And I found these 3 tiny tiny teaspoons too. They are only about 7cm long. So cute! Felicity was chuffed with the pot & she's not just going to use it for Sienna's birthday, but it's going to be their new "Tea Party" pot for playing with. How luxurious!
I also scored the cool floral sheet in the background for $5 and some antique silver cheese knives for $1 each {high five!}
Did you find anything cool this week?
