I'm hoping, should you go shopping at the Turnabout soon, you will still find some of these beauties. While I worked at the shop last Thursday, the delicate necklace below the necklace with turquoise was sold. Tennis Rackets with Lamps and Flowers. I love the way they all work together and it happened the way the best things often happen--by accident! I can hardly wait until I can expand this first picture of the night sky. Scrumptious! Which night sky is better? It's a toss up, not to be decided until they are both out there in all their glory. Is this a picture of a teapot and a water pitcher and a cup without a handle? And what is hiding in lower center? The cover for the teapot? You tell me. All I know is I enjoyed looking at this beautifully framed print in the shop last Thursday. The feathers you see here may be from a Pheasant, like many I used to see in our yard in Minnesota. I hope this bird isn't deceased--but probably that's the way this gorgeous array arrived at the shop. What to do with them? Creativity is called for! This Dollar Rack was outside basking in the sun last Thursday. I hope the shop still has the same Dollar Rack but you will have to find out for yourself, I'm afraid.
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.
