"THREE TEAPOTS OUTSIDE FREELAND, WA" . . .

. . .  and INSIDE the Senior Thrift Store. Or Island Thrift. Or whatever it is called now. At any rate, the place is wonderfully restored since the fire in their attic, and the upstairs is full of new little cubby rooms and nooks and crannies filled with kitschy stuff. I took these colorful ceramic teapots off their shelf in the "tea room" and hauled them out to the furniture section, set them up as a still life arrangement on a table, sat in a comfortable chair, and sketched the day away. And listened to the birds and water sounds coming from a nearby "painting". And to a random guy who sat down at the old upright piano and proceeded to play jazz, and ragtime, and classical and rock. It was a terrific visit to a favorite sketch venue. 

Sketching Stuff

As always, no matter where the sketchers meet, it's always fun and a learning experience. Here's my sketch from Senior Thrift...

So much to sketch - so little time!

Too many things to sketch! My favorite may have been the Chinese brass gong on a carved teak wood stand.

Senior Thrift, Oh Boy!

As Sue said, I just love to sketch stuff! And The Senior Thrift Store was so full of wonderful stuff to sketch I could hardly settle down, but then I became captivated by the toy section and had a wonderful time. The visit to The Roaming Radish was not only fun, but I also took home a delicious dinner of penne pasta and roasted carrots. It was a yummy day all the way around.
