In last week's blog posting I said this cupboard would be replenished and here it is! This is a special time for the Turnabout when all the members donate special things for the holidays. This cupboard is fairly bursting with great things! Remember we're open at 12 PM today! Yes, today--Wednesday--first time ever. I love seeing this picture blown up. Yes, I do peek once in awhile. There's a tiger pacing at the end of a necklace and maybe some turquoise to the left and beads, beads, beads! I'm not sure about that red necklace to the right. What do you think? Maybe it would be absolutely stunning with a classic black dress. Do they make those anymore? Lots of wonderful things here and on display for the first time. I am excited. Can you tell? Our mascot, Pig, got annoyed that I wasn't featuring our antique cupboard so here it is once again. Lots of great things here for the Holidays. Just click on the picture and feast your eyes. Again we have some boxes terribly shy about being spied upon under the counter. This is an amazing mirror, by the way. It's just dying to hang in that important place--somewhere! Again, a new dollar rack! I see an amazing assemblage of clothes here: shirts and blouses of all kinds but no slacks on hand I'm afraid unless you spot something I'm missing.
Are you the same Turnabout Shop that used to be on Grove (now MLK) in Berkeley, at Delaware, I think? If so, do you happen to remember the actual address of that location? Thanks!
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.
