Thrift Store Angel and an unusual Vehicle

  I'm still slowly filling boxes of 'stuff' and taking them to the thrift store.  Of course I pop in for a short walk-around. 


 

I found this doorstop angel. DH wondered why I want such a thing but she makes me smile and that's a good reason, right?  I put her behind the door in my little washroom ( where I never had nor wanted one of those regular stops.)
(What makes her a door stop is that she is filled with something like sand. Heavy.) 

 


 Seen down our street was this unusual truck. I forget what make it was but noticed that it was a left- hand drive.


 Interesting tidbit:  

 Although some Canadian provinces previously drove on the left due to British ties, they all switched to the right, with the last province (Newfoundland) making the change in 1947 to align with the United States and the rest of North America.

Thanks for coming by💖

  2. I wasn't aware of this change in some Canadian provinces. I always take public transit, and I was born in 1956, so this could be why. Thank 😊 you for sharing this.
    I love ❤️ the illustrations and messages.

  9. I am amused by your 'unusual' truck; here in England our neighbours are having an extension built and there are usually several of there 'ordinary' pick-ups parked outside for the different trades!
    I love the fourth monkey 🐒

  10. This doorstop angel is so nice! I love the quote with the content lady sitting peaceful with her cup in front of her house.
    By the way: I often see in TV artist Bob Ross painting such wooden huts like in your header.

    1. Dieser Türstopper-Engel ist so süß! Ich liebe das Zitat mit der zufriedenen Dame, die friedlich mit ihrer Tasse vor ihrem Haus sitzt.
      Übrigens: Ich sehe im Fernsehen oft, wie der Künstler Bob Ross solche Holzhütten wie in deinem Header malt.

  11. That the doorstop angel makes you smile is a very good reason to buy it! I have something to deliver at the thrift store, so maybe there will be something with me back home too :) The picture with the 4 monkeys was very good!

  12. I think a cute thrift store find that you bring home simply because it makes you smile/brings you joy is a perfect thrift store find!:)

  16. Ha Ha! Yes, I go to the thrift shops just to look too. Your angel is sweet and you bought her for the best reason.
    Interesting about the vehicle and changes to the Canadian driving rules.
    Hilarious (and so true) about that 4th monkey.
