Havana, Florida, is a prime shopping location for those looking for antiques, curiosities, or just plain junk. On a rainy Wednesday the intrepid Noyz grandkids, their grandparents, and a friend went in search of all three.
Friend Sophia had to try out every typewriter we saw.
Dominique and Sophia took a photo of a piece of wax fruit Dominique had photographed last year. It has a bite mark in it, for identification purposes, we supposed.
Jackson practiced molding a cardboard bust of Elvis. At least the tag said it was Elvis, we didn’t see the resemblance.
Studly Doright had to put in his two cents worth of advice.
I almost purchased these placemats featuring historic sites. Classy, right?
The placemats would’ve been stunning with the candelabras pictured above.
Dominique was perpetually cold.
Jackson loves old cameras. He seriously considered buying this one.
I found lots of cool pieces, but didn’t buy anything.
Loved this telephone table. The kids couldn’t quite get the idea that one couldn’t just talk on the phone from anywhere in the house. I told them I used to have to sit on the floor in our hallway to talk on the phone. Ah, those were the days.
A creepy doll above and another below.
I tried to convince Studly that I needed this green bench.
After an afternoon of thrift shopping we took the kids to a Japanese steakhouse in Tallahassee and then to see the new Mission Impossible movie.
A successful day on all counts, but the week is going by too quickly for Nana.
Peace, people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Love a good thrifty store!

My youngest daughter and I go for the occasional thrift store excursion. It’s amazing what you can see, ponder over, and laugh at! And why does every thrift store have so many of those old creepy dolls…usually lurking in places that mean you come upon them hiding as if it was a horror movie…

I enjoy thrifting, and when grandson Jackson is here I have the perfect companion. The dolls always creep me out. And yes, they are everywhere!

A wonderful outlet we would love. Have a look at this post https://derrickjknight.com/2014/08/22/her-very-own-seaside/ and followed the link to A monstrosity if you would like to know why it was so named

What my Dad would have called ‘a lot of toot’ stuff no one wants needs or truly likes. I would have photographed the fruit too. Ran from the freaky doll and purchased the typewriter. A good day I think.

Haaha! But hopefully yours is with you where Dad passed away 4 years ago now. But his little nuances are often in my ear.
