Senior Thrifting

Yesterday was girls day out with my mom. She's 81 yrs. young and loves a good thrifting hunt. Before I left in the morning to pick her up, I read Lola Nova's post and she mentioned a senior center thrift shop in the Hollywood district of Portland that she recently visited and shared some nice finds. Well....needless to say Mom and I headed over first thing. We found two shops there, a consignment shop that Lola spoke of and the small thrift shop in the back where I found my treasures. I am sorry to report that our day did not uncover any of my egg cups but this stop made my day.
Here is the group of goodies. I was happy to find the nice Aladdin widemouthed thermos for Mr. B. to take a hot dish in when he can't come home for lunch.

This is a precious handmade bowl with sweet little bluebirds stamped on the inside.

It is in great shape with no cracks or chips with mottled green and brown glaze. See how primitive it is, I just love it.

I was pleased to find these beauties to add to my growing collection of crochet doilies, potholders and etc....

All in all it was a nice day with stops at Goodwill and Salvation Army, not much at either of those, but nothing can beat the sweet Hollywood Senior Center , thanks Lola.

Tomorrow I head back up north again and Thursday there is to be another storm like the one last Friday that delayed our trip down here a day. I have been meaning to tell you all about the weather service web site if you don't already know. This is what I use all of the time to see from the radar if rain is coming so I know to hang the clothes out. Here is the web address that I use. nws.noaa.gov the page pops up and you put your zip code in and there is a wealth of info. Give it a try and fool around with the different radar loops and you can see things in motion so you can fancy yourself a weatherman just like I do.

I will say goodnight as I have an early start in the morning.
