the opshop gods have been smiling upon me this week. my beautiful friend debra from church turned up with this pie dish as a gift for me that she found in her local opshop last week, she knew i would love it and indeed i do... pumpkin pie is one of my favourite things in the world and this vintage dish is gorgeous! i will very proudly have that on display and most likely cook pies in it too.
and i know this is random that i feel the need to report it, but this was such a huge win... we got the maxwell williams mondo cutlery when we got married 15 years ago and of course it has since been discontinued. my children have lost 1 of the knives multiple times, but this last time, it has not been relocated. like we are talking it's been missing for a couple of months so i don't think it's coming back. i can buy a replacement on ebay - for $15 a piece, but that's a hard pass. anyway, cut to the story, i went to the local good sammys and went through a giant box of cutlery, piece by piece, which took me a good half an hour, but i found a replacement and a spare and a smaller one the same in case of emergency. and the best bit? they were 20c each! i just don't understand why people wouldn't shop retail. op shops for life!
