I reached a critical point in my sequel to Mayhem at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort this morning. After I completed the scene I sat back and relished the feeling of a minor accomplishment. Of course when I reread the scene tomorrow I’m sure there’ll be alterations to be made, but the scene has been laid out and that’s huge.
A reward was in order. I took myself to lunch at Sweet Pea Cafe in Tallahassee then I stopped by a local thrift shop to see if they had anything interesting. And, wow! I was rewarded with several neat pieces. I didn’t buy anything, but I was tempted. See if you can figure out which item I almost brought back to Doright Manor.






Peace, people!
Now Leslie…..one would not be enough. Come on!

I’m going to vote for the rooster lamp. No, probably the froggie fountain. I love your thrift shop. You have great self-control.

I loved them both, but it was the fish vase that had my heart.

Which is why they were forming a herd in the antique store. I think mounted/stuffed game animals have gone out of style unless you tend to be royalty and live in a castle

I reckon you would have taken the whole lot, if you didn’t have to face a ‘Please explain’ when you got home!
