Another’s Treasure

Because I live in the most beautiful city in the world, I may have a somewhat jaundiced view of the world at large.  This Tiffany-style rooster lamp may once have been the cherished possession of somebody’s grandmother, for pointed example.  This delightful wicker flamingo may have been equally cherished by another.

I found both of these treasures in a thrift shop window (the same window, by the way) in the urban hub of the North Valley, Yuba City.  It’s right next to a Thai restaurant that closes just before we get there, every time.  At nine o’clock on a Saturday night, you would think that restaurants in a sleepy little town would still be hungry for custom, but you would be deceived.
