Yesterday morning this large table in the middle room was chuck full of boxes of soap, bottles of fragrances, and much much more. By the end of the day the table wasn't quite bare like Mother Hubbard's Cupboard but it was close. I figure you're the culprits! These amazing creatures (don't they almost seem real?) feel like they come right out of the Arabian nights. They're oil lamps! All of them come with their own boxes, except for the big guy in the center. I just love presenting this cupboard because it's so fun clicking on the pictures and seeing what's there. It looks like there are lots of lovely bowls but who knows, until you do the tour? I love this green bottle and another Santa has made the long journey over the North Pole. More lovely creatures from the Arabian nights. The purple gentleman toward the right looks like he's going to take right off and perform a lively dance.
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.
