Thanks to a new camera (the old one died) we have an exquisite photograph of a gold bracelet now on display on the Turnabout. Is it a bracelet or a mystery in gold? I have to say perhaps it's the new camera or I don't know what, but pay close attention. I just discovered after you click on a picture and it expands you can click on a particular article in the picture you want a closer look at and it blows up that image too. Try it. How about that?!! Back to the picture: I think this is a bracelet for a lucky little girl but don't quote me. It is lovely. I think I'll keep my new camera! I've been inclined to look with disdain at the silly table things on the top shelf but they do have a certain, winning look about them--all looking straight ahead and pointing to the left. I love that our great co-chairman, Barbara and Diana, placed them all pointing to the left. Silly? Right! Here you see a winning sense of humor! Glass is the name of the game here. Look at the delicate pieces in the lower center. The objects on either side are globes: you touch them just so and they spin! Here is our July Dollar Rack once again. Some of these goodies must be on this rack yet--or---perhaps even better stuff because it's changed daily!
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.
