A funny story. One Sunday we were driving through Redfern when a shop caught my eye. "Stop! I have to get out!" I said to Mr NQN (he is used to this sort of thing) and I hopped out to peruse this gorgeous antique store. I had never noticed it before although the owner told me that it had been open for many years. But it was so bright and blazing and calling my attention when I walked past.

He even let me into the back area which was an incredible jumble of bric a brac and lovely finds. It is where I found this sauce caddy, he thought to have come off a ship. It was the perfect vehicle for the Bloody Mary sauce (you could also use a syringe).
