shiny kitchen treasure. Op-Shop Show-Off March 5th, 2013




i was pleased as punch when Terry turned up with this WMF lemon juicer this week ($2). we had a cheap plastic supermarket one that had driven me mad falling over or apart mid juicing for months whilst i waited in hope of scoring an old school heavy glass one. great timing for tabbouleh making with the cherry tomatoes  cucumbers, parsley and mint from our garden. hopefully next year we will use our own lemons too since the TLC we have lavished on our sorry sapling this year appear to be bringing it back from the brink of death by leaf curl and malnutrition.



are you an Op-Shop Show-Off? or more modest about your superior second hand shopping abilities?

do you like to linky?

it’s charitable, green, cheap, exciting, fun, nostalgia inducing, potentially lucrative and often just plain necessary. whatever your reason for second hand shopping we’d love it if you joined us on Tuesdays here at blackbirdhasspoken.blogspot.com for Op-Shop Show-Off, a linky open to all, all week, to link up a blog post about any aspect of your second-hand shopping life. tell us your op-shopping philosophy, or divulge your secret hunting techniques. let us know about your wants, or skite (English translation= “show-off “) about your amazing finds. review the best op-shopping spots in your town, or request or give information on your fascinating finds, you’ll always be talking to an appreciative audience here.

 How to link up?
1. post your second hand shopping related blog post.

2. link to Op-Shop Show-Off in your blog post, so your blog readers can come over and peruse or post in the linky too.

 3. scroll to the bottom of my latest Tuesday Op-Shop Show-Off post and click on the linky tool, then follow the three easy steps.

 4. don't forget to leave me a comment to let me know you linked up.

 5. have a look at some of the other linkers posts/blogs, they're all people after your own heart!

 6. grab the Op-Shop Show-Off Button from my sidebar to decorate yours (paste the code into a HTML gadget under the 'add a gadget' part of the layout section in blogger and save).

  13. What a gorgeous and elegant looking juicer. I have an old metal one with a handle that operates like a lever. It has a plastic inset and has been repaired once. I've never seen another one like it though.
