Booty Bounty

Several people have asked me to share my booty bounty from my trip through eight states on my recent road trip. Ask and ye shall receive. It may not seem like a lot, but since we drove through the states and were flying home, I had to be aware of my space limitations. You can be sure that I was stopped going through security and the TSA left notes in our bags that they had been checked. I can't even imagine what was going through their minds as they looked through my crazy things! Here is a glimpse of my bounty (and you can be sure that the little wrapped packages held some delightful finds):

Good Firm

While on our recent road trip to move our son to Omaha, Nebraska, I discovered a pretty amazing law office in a very cool neighborhood smack dab in the middle of Omaha. Law office? you ask. Yes, the law office of Mark Goodall. Mark is also an artist and he has decked out his office with his creations. Here is the front of his building and the windows that drew our attention:








Those windows got us curious enough to venture inside (and we weren't lookin' for legal advice!).








We all got to talking with Mark and when he learned that I was an artist, no, it was when he learned that I liked creepy dolls, that he invited us into his basement, his inner sanctum. Oh my. I think I even hyperventillated a little.











Before we left, Mark posed with his office cat and with me.

Second Chance - The Motherlode

Discovered a fabulous secondhand/thrift/vintage/collectibles/antique store in Omaha, Nebraska: Second Chance. It is located in the heart of Omaha's wonderful Old Market area of town. There is really no need for words, so I'll just post a series of photos . . . .

And then there was a BASEMENT!

It's worth a stop in Omaha to visit this remarkable shop.

PS And I didn't spend all that much for all my wonderful finds.
