I stopped by Bernie's Antique store in Bothell. A wonderful old man who really knows his stuff in the perfect "junk" store with stuff in boxes to discover ...
I bought a few things today. A 1910 chemistry set.
With all of my woes with Flash last week, I thought this Flash-Aid flashlight was a good purchase.
Bernie gave me a tablet for free.
One black shoe.
Some dolls, some with a bad hair day.
Bette Davis eyes

I love the pictures, the finds and can imagine how it smells.

Are you going to keep the Flash Aid on your desk at work? Too funny.
My favorite pic is the last one, you really captured her personality! Those eyes.
Back in the 80's I was in a thrift store when a young gal walked in with a tiny pair of black leather infant shoes, wrap around style with rolled buttons on the side, about ankle high, smashed and covered in clay. She offered them up to the store owner. Seems she had been hiking "out near Mormon Rocks" (in SoCAL's Cajon Pass) and stubbed her toe on one that stuck out of the soil just a bit. She dug and dug and eventually got the pair out.
The store owner took one look and said yes, but that she would donate them to the County Museum as a Pioneer find.
Can you imagine hiking and finding such a thing? (I can here that mom still. "Samuel! Where did you put the baby shoes? You're Pa's gonna kill you!)
Kim, I WISH we had antique or junk shops like that one Bernie runs. I am seriously envious of your access to that kind of cool junk for your art pieces. Next time I come to Seattle ... will you please take me there for a fun afternoon? please?
I can imagine what you're going to do with these -- and I'm sure whatever you come up with will be loads better than my imagination says.
