First and foremost, this bowl. A true treasure, just click on the picture and feast your eyes. Our antique wood case has got a host of new things: earrings, necklaces, rings and that wild white bead necklace at the top that looks like it's floating. Lovely. You're seeing double--it's true. My camera caught a reflection of this case, filled with necklaces and bracelets, everyone a wonder! There's one mystery object next to that lovely green bead necklace. What is it? Some wonderful chains, many sporting pendants and look at that pink bracelet way at the top! The Dollar Rack, as usual, is filled with fabulous things--slacks and shirts, blouses and jackets. One pink blouse absolutely gleams, just waiting to be paired with a black velvet skirt or pants--and look at that green jacket!
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.
