Hello to all my Market Friday friends and the wonderful Host .
I would like to take you on a little excursion to our local SPCA on a hunt for Salt and Pepper cellars.
A few weeks ago I accidently dropped my ceramic salt and pepper cellars on the floor and broke them. I was really mad at myself because they were a gift from a special friend.
Any way!...we had to go to the Veggie shop to buy some odds and ends, so decided to pop into the SPCA; it's one of my favorite places to go to when I need wine glasses or the odd plate or cup and saucer.
I try and support them as much as I can, as all the proceedings go towards feeding and caring for the animals that are sheltered there.
We parked under the shady trees in the parking area and took a stroll through the garden.
We walked through Marilyn's Tea Garden and were welcomed with music from the 70's, these ladies were having great fun dancing to the beat.
It was good to see people enjoying the sunshine after the torrential rain we've had a few weeks ago.
Even the Peacocks were enjoying themselves.
We didn't stop for tea and cake today. I was on another mission, and that was to find my Salt and Pepper Cellars.
The Long Dog Café was closed they sell doggie treats.
There are many different stores selling a variety of donated items.
The clothing stalls are in abundance.
There is art work on display and picture frames for sale.
From musical instruments to art to lamp shades to be bought.
We continued our journey through the different thrift shops searching for that special pair of salt and pepper cellars.
I was determined to find them even if I had to go through every shelf and store room.

One is able to find almost anything at these little stalls.
I looked in every shop that was open, couldn't find what I was looking for.
After an hour of rummaging through everything on the shelves from marquee to stalls to huts, I was ready to give up my search.
As we were walking back through the tea garden, my eye caught this little shop...Omg!...how did I miss it.
I walked into the little "Hidden Treasure's Shop" I had a good feeling I'd find my "Salt and Pepper Cellars".
I looked through the shelves...I know they're here...they have to be...then I looked up on the upper shelf.
There they were, smiling at me, I found these two happy little treasures "Salt and Pepper".
Being a lover of pottery, I knew these two would be just perfect for my kitchen, and the price being right at R40.00.
Happy with my findings, we made our way back to the car and drove off stopping at the vegetable store "Oxford's" Fresh Market to buy some veggies.
I was so excited with finding my Salt and Pepper Cellars I almost forgot to take photo's of what we bought at Oxford's.
I wanted to make beef curry and rice and needed garlic and ginger, but went away with a trolly load of potatoes, carrots, cabbage garlic and ginger.
I'll do another post on Oxfords next time, I promise.

And of course Salt and Pepper My favorite Ceramic treasures.
I hope you have enjoyed coming along with me on my treasure hunt as much as I did sharing it with you,
