I'm still enjoying putting most of my online energy into Instagram. I like researching things, such as ...
1. The colophon of the poster with the saying from Zimbabwe, "If you can walk you can dance/ if you can talk you can sing":
The African People’s Socialist Party exists today, and its Burning Spear newspaper is online.
2. The fur squirrel with motorcycle boots is the first in what I hope will be a series "What I Saw in Customers' Carts".
3. The vintage Faribo blanket ("Fluff-Loomed"!) is by the Faribault MN Wool Mill. The mill reoponed in 2011. New, these striped blankets cost $400! Ours is $18.99.
Bottom row:
4. Larry (pictured) and Cheryl are freelance volunteers (not SVdP members) who pick up near-sell-by-date bakery goods donated by major distributors (because they can't sell them) and deliver the bread and pastries to our store, to give away free.
People can be decent.
5. More clothes. Whatever.
6. Me! Ha! At the donations door, holding a cup of tea from the Somali restaurant Hayat next door---they add powdered ginger and sweetened condensed milk if you want, which I do. Basically, it's a caffeinated dessert. $1.50.
