We have something different from the Antique and DooDads Room today, thanks to my friend Barbara who convinced me I could take a picture through a pane of glass and not get a reflection. (At one point you would have seen a wonderful view of my shoes but luckily she spotted them. They are not worthy of the Jewelry Case as they are exceedingly ugly). Here we have wonders of a certain kind, very useful to wear around the wrist. Click on it and Voila! watches of all kinds come into view. Wait, what is that Gold Something all the way to the left? Beautiful, but is it a watch? I finally clicked on it and I still don't know what it is. Ah, the wonders of the Turnabout Shop!
I'm particularly fond of this assortment of earrings. How about that set all the way to the lower right with the lovely beads or the gold set almost dead center? Here is a slice of the night sky. Sorry, it's such a little slice. when you click on it, you will only see it at the top of your screen. Necklaces and every bead a star.
An assortment of finery, only to be identified for sure by clicking on it. Necklaces, bracelets, and beads? I can't make out exactly what's there.
Just below, we have the Dollar Rack. I like the green sweater almost directly in the center, but sigh, again, almost certainly not my size. There's a whole bunch of short sleeved T Shirts very useful for warm weather, and for cold weather, two robes. There's a lot of things on this rack and every single one of them available for a dollar!
The Turnabout Shop is located in El Cerrito, California, at 10052 San Pablo Avenue—our telephone number is 510-525-7844. We are open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to four. The shop has a very interesting background and I plan to devote one of my upcoming blogs to that history. I was born in Minnesota in 1933, moved to Wisconsin with my family in my twenties, collected a Bachelor of Science degree in Childhood Education, left for California for a teaching job and met my husband. We have been married for 47 years and have two sons and two grandsons, age six and a half and almost three. I love thrift stores. Where else could you find a grotesque Paper Mache mask with weird decorations? Weird can be wonderful! This one nearly caused a divorce: "Either that goes or you go!" We have a dog—an Akita mix called Plato—named for the philosopher. He is a very bright dog. I still have family in Wisconsin and the memories of a wonderful brother who I'm grieving. Take some time out of your busy day and come visit me.
