#Spotted in an Op Shop* in Aotearoa New Zealand
A woman (70s?) in a floor-length fake fur purple coat and a matching pill box hat is admiring a display of teapots. With a huge smile she picks up a pink one and exclaims. "These're all STUNNING, but THIS one's m'favourite."
A tiny dog (poodle cross feather duster?) is trotting by a row of vintage chairs.
His human (80s?) is asking him, "Which one do you like buddy?"
After much inspection and sniffing, Tiny Dog and Human decide that a canework rocking chair is the right one for them.
A woman (20s?) is hunting through racks of men's jackets with a pensive expression.
This one?
Hmm nope.
This one? Yeah.. nah.
What about... THIS one?
She pulls out an old tweed coat with patches on the elbows.
Needs a bit of mending around the collar but... yep this is the one for her!
A teen (16?) and Dad are browsing teacups.
Suddenly Teen reels back, face screwed up in abject horror: "WOOF! Dad you are SO full of toxic masculinity right now."
Dad shrugs. "Not my fault. You made the baked bean toasties this mornin'"
A man (30s?) wearing a fabulous pink sparkly top is searching through a handbag display, purring under his breath when he discovers an antique mesh purse at the bottom of the pile. Snatching it up and gleefully bustling to the counter.
