Dainty Espresso Not usually a fan of garage sales but my sister has turned me on to them this summer. You can actually find some great stuff for great prices. Juizy got a vintage cruiser bike for $10 - it rides well and is so comfy and retro cool! Someone even shouted out during the end of summer beach parade 'hey nice Schwinn!' which is the brand of the bike.

Another find was this espresso maker at a neighbour's sale at the cottage. Dale, originally from South Africa had a great sale and I think did quite well with takings. She is a lovely lady and we talked about our favourite South African things: rooibos tea and Ouma rusks.

I think we bought this beautiful butterfly patterned espresso maker for 25cents?! You can fit 4 tiny espresso cups around it to make a strong espresso. We didn't have a chance to try it out yet but next time we will make some and bring some over to Dale with milk as she doesn't like strong coffee...or we will just sit on the porch and sip rooibos.
