I don't promise to know anything about sewing machines but given that, this one looks good to me. When my sons were little I made them Dracula costumes on the sorriest machine you could imagine--one of those monsters that looked and was uncommonly heavy. It did a good job. Can you imagine what this machine can offer? Just an example of what fabrics are sitting on the table in the middle room waiting to be grabbed and put to stellar use! There are amazing things here. How about those horses on the topmost shelf or the blue vase--not to forget those wonderful birds. I'm a Midwesterner and I should know what those gorgeous birds are. Perhaps some sort of ducks? My father and brother would blanch with horror. How could I not know exactly what those gorgeous creatures are? It's about time you had another chance to explore one of our shelves and here's a great example. Enjoy! Another great dollar rack. I love that white shirt with the gold and there are some other shirts that look good enough my fingers are itching right now. The flowers are nosing around so it's hard to see everything but maybe that black and white baby?
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.
