| AMAZING ASSORTMENT OF JEWELRY AT THE TURNABOUT! |
 |
| HAVE YOU EVERY SEEN SUCH A WONDERFUL ASSORTMENT OF DOLLS? |
 |
| WONDERFUL DRESS TO WEAR AT A PARTY? MAYBE TO THE SYMPHONY? I VOTE FOR THE SYMPHONY! |
 |
| STRANGE ASSEMBLAGE WHICH, WHEN EXAMINED CAREFULLY, COMES UP TO BED: NIGHT CLOTHES TO KEEP YOU WARM. A HAT TO KEEP YOU LOOKING LOVELY. A TRULY BEAUTIFUL SCARF! ENJOY! |
 |
| A table full of things, mysterious and fun! I'll have to leave it to you to figure out what everything is with the exception of the lamp. Lovely, isn't it? And is that another small, lamp, meant perhaps for a child's bedroom? |
 |
| A stunning vase, I think, but I have to leave it to you to give it the final name. I do love the color! Fantastic! The items to the right are a mystery but interesting, don't you think? |
 |
| A Halloween Hat! What else can it be? The scarf goes nicely with it, don't you think? |
 |
| A lovely, old fashioned chair with matching stool and they look to be in great shape, don't they? |
 |
| Oh, I wish I had a body that could fit into this! Beautiful, isn't it! |
 |
| This picture is bursting with wonderful things--so many I have trouble knowing where to start. The plate standing in the center takes my eye first--it's truly unusual and I believe is homemade--as are, I believe, the two plates to the right. Behind them is an ancient photograph of a very proud, and beautiful family. |
 |
| This is a wonderful grouping of handmade plates. Aren't they wonderful? This particular size of plate is harder to find, isn't it, and just perfect for any number of things--desert, salad? |
 |
| I'm struck by how unusual this plate is. Again, I wonder whether it's homemade? It would hold any number of dishes and blend in with any number of color schemes. |
 |
| A beautiful painting with every color imaginable. It's already framed and I believe you couldn't do much better than the silver frame around it! |
 |
| Isn't this a beautiful pair of earrings? Again, our special jewelry person, Annie, has done it again. This is just one of a beautiful assortment of earrings. |
 |
| Can't you see this wonderful steam locomotive chugging away and hear that long, lonely whistle in the night? Or maybe this is too early for that that particular sound of a whistle and the bell is all you'd hear? All of your railroad aficionados--what say? I believe there's a wonderful Railroad Museum in Sacramento that might sport such a wonderful bit of Railroad lore. I hope so--surely such a work of art must be available to be seen somewhere! |
 |
| This is a painting that's at the shop right now and strange to say, it's unsigned. I love the blossoms and the lovely ribbons it sports. Another nice plus--it's 1/2 off as is all the art at the Turnabout Shop at this time! |
 |
| Annie is in charge of jewelry at the shop and finds absolutely fantastic jewelry! I think you'll agree that this assortment fits in with that accolade! |
 |
| A pair of baseball gloves, complete with a baseball glove! Hurry up, all you baseball Dads--as these will certainly find an owner soon! |
 |
| Another wonderful bits of jewelry, thanks to Annie! |
 |
| I had to show these off! A wonderful set of knives and forks and spoons! Don't you want to grab them and put them to work! They're absolutely itching for it! |
 |
| This beautiful leather coat is from Saks Fifth Avenue! I wonder whether Saks still does a number where it brings you clothes to look at (like in Pretty Woman). That's my memory of Saks. Nah--no more, right? |
 |
| Have you ever seen such a beautiful plate? I haven't--bar none--and I have a plate I bought in Morocco years ago that made a friend's eyes bug out it was so expensive. and it's not as beautiful as this one. Those are Chinese Quail--by the way. |
 |
| Another beautiful leather garment--a men's jacket, size small. All you tidy looking men, come running! |
 |
| A Singer Sewing Machine. Those of you with itchy fingers for thread, this is for you! |
 |
| Believe it or not, this is an abalone diver's tool. Don't say we don't get unusual things at the Turnabout Shop! |
 |
| Wonderful dolls for under the tree! The one to the left looks something like an ugly Cabbage Patch Doll, and given I'm inclined to like anything ugly, that doll would be my choice! |
 |
| Can you believe this helicopter? I know a couple of little boys who would love this--my grandsons--but I'm leaving it for one of you! |
 |
| This amazing set of Christmas figures reminds me of a set once owned by my wonderful neighbor, Sally Eustis, who I loved dearly. Her's were French, I think, as that was the last country who could claim her before she moved to the US, although England was probably in there as a background pretty strongly. One of her English friends, when talking to her over the phone once said, "Sally, you sound so American!" She said back, "And you sound so English!" She had a wonderful set she brought out every Christmas, her Cresche figures. |
 |
| Someone's going to claim this unbelievably beautiful purse--just right for New Years Eve! |
 |
| Christmas Houses! I love them--don't you? Who wouldn't? |
 |
| These shelves carry everything you could possibly want to make a beautiful, festive Christmas Holiday! Enjoy! |
 |
| Isn't this a amazing purse? I don't think I can say anything else to add to its beauty! |
 |
| I don't know where to start here! First of all I was going to point out that collection of plates but then I saw that wonderful soup bowl with cover and matching ladle. Take your pick! They're both fantastic! |
 |
| Here we have twin hangings of sort--meeting across many miles to cement a relationship--perhaps the throw all the way to the right started out in the far east, woven by a woman who meant it perhaps for a daughter--the other looks like something a woman from Scandinavia might have made, also for a daughter. I find it sad that these wonderful homemade articles are so seldom made these days. |
 |
| At first I thought I had only one thing to boast about here--that lovely bowl with cover on the top shelf and then I saw the set of dessert bowls and the glass bowl with cover, the exquisite bowl with perhaps six sides and finally a glass with green stripes and a bowl of some kind hiding behind it! |
 |
| I decided to look up "Egg Coddlers" and found they are quite a prized article. Rather than say anymore, I'm going to direct you to a website: Egg-Coddlers.Com. I hope you find the site as interesting as it looks to me to be! These, given they're Royal Worcester, are sure to be special. |
 |
| Our important camera person, David Mandel, has come up with these beautiful cameras and accessories. First of all, a Canon FT QL 35 mm with 58 mm Lens. $110. The camera body sells on ebay for about $40. This camera (new) comes with three lens options and the lens we're providing is the most valuable of the three options. The lens alone sells USED for $110 to $390 so $110 is a good deal! |
 |
| Another beautiful camera--an Olympus Accura View 80 QD 35 mm and it sells for only $6. What did we do to take a picture before someone invented the camera? Something to do with exposing a piece of paper to the sun. We have come a long ways. These cameras--everyone of them--are truly works of art! |
 |
| Another gorgeous camera: this Olympus Infinity Stylus Epic Multi AF 35 mm c.1997 sells for $20. Interesting how beautifully it fits in the hands. |
 |
| Those of you who are serious photographers need flashes and these flashes are: a Canon Speedlite 155A; a Minolta Auto 128; a Nikon SPEEDLITE 5B-23; a Vivvitar 50 and a Vivvitar Auto 200 $3 to $13. |
 |
| As you can see, this is a Minolta Hi-Matic F 35 mm camera c.1972 for all of $8 and if I'm not mistaken it comes with its own case! |
 |
| This is a 1950's Heiland Research Syncronite Reflex Twin Flash With 11 Westinghouse 192 B bulbs all for $12. This object looks like it puts out a lot of light! |
 |
This is a Konica X-24 AUTO Flash with Case and Original Box $12 . This thing is pretty impressive if strange, what can it be for? It is a 1960's Folding Angle Bracket For a Flash Accessory. How about that? |
 |
| This sweater is, I have to believe, one of the most beautiful the Turnabout Shop has ever had the privilege to show. Gorgeous, so gorgeous, I almost can't believe my eyes! |
 |
| Another beautiful item--a red leather jacket--aren't you dying to try it on? Oh my, have we got some beautiful things at the Turnabout right now! Besides being beautiful does it have a name attached to it--Oscar de la Renta! How about that? |
 |
| This picture is actually two pictures in one--I'm going to point out first the wonderful painting just a glimpse of which is showing above. (Thank you Marty for that mystery! Mysteries are what I love, love, love!) I see a wonderful road to the left which appears to be a fantasy road to what I don't know but that's the fun, isn't it?--above, clouds and trees and something else which intrigues me--a miniature lamp post, perhaps? I love the picture. Below it is a bunch of items for that Halloween table which the little ones in your house will enjoy, especially the Halloween triangular pumpkins holding ghosts--aren't they fun?! |
 |
| Halloween costumes mixed in with what, I'm not sure, but again I love what Marty has done here by mixing in things around the costumes which I can play with in my imagination: on the table something orange which looks to be a tall pitcher meant for your Halloween table? Reflected in the mirror is a string of tiny orange pumpkins--perhaps to lay on your mantelpiece and light on Halloween? Our mantelpiece has a electric outlet in just the right place to accomplish that--does yours? |
 |
| Marty, who is again responsible for all these wonderful pictures, wanted me to point out that the shop has a lot of materials right now with which a handy person with a sewing machine could use for costumes for the little ones in your household. I have to add a little story to this from the days when my two sons went out Halloweening--not a word you'd find in your dictionary but it should be because isn't it perfect? I made my older son a costume--a refrigerator made out of a packing box--which he wore proudly out on one Halloween night Disaster, of course. Marcia, how could you be so careless?! Yes, he fell (sob!) when he tried walking down our cement walkway from our house which has a little slant to it and ended up wearing something much less intriguing for the night. At least it was safe! |
 |
| We have a wonderful selection of jewelry these days--here are the latest beauties! |
 |
| Don't you absolutely love this ship? There are some mysterious things in the background which look to me to be part of a reflection! What is it about reflections that stirs our interest? I can't say I understand anything about the objects in the background except I like them. They are mysterious!You also notice, I'm sure, the wonderful set of china in the shelves below! |
 |
| The shop now has a wonderful selection of toys. Those of you who are fanciers of childhood playthings come and enjoy these lovely little dolls! |
 |
| These slippers stir up memories for me. My father once brought me a set of real Indian slippers from Arizona--carefully crafted by a local tribe. I doubt whether we can claim the same for these but they are wonderful, I think. |
 |
| This sweater is lovely and so yummy to the touch, I had to put it out for you to enjoy! |
