Goodwill, Somerville, MA. Silkscreened Cow Art, $1.49.
This is for my friend Arthur. He will soon have a new room, and I hope he will like this. It reminded me of Ferdinand, even this is a lady cow and Ferdinand is a bull.
There have been a lot of changes at my local Goodwill in the past few months. It's been tidied a bit and nearly all the staff has changed. Ediba, where did you go? And, for the Davis Square faithful, don't you miss Wayne's excellent shopping soundtracks? A Goodwill run without Screamin' Jay Hawkins just isn't the same.

OMG! That cow is Most Excellent, just as you described. Welcome back to the bloggy world, and may this be the first of many more posts.
Ferdinand ranks right up there in one of my top two favorite books from my childhood.
She looks a lot like Ferdinand's mother who, as the book says, "was a cow." Did you know the Lennon sisters did a musical version of Ferdinand? You can see it on Youtube!

Nice to see a post from you in my bloglines this morning :-)
Oh, I just discovered your blog, and I love it! I hope that you continue posting updates. I LOVE THRIFT STORES! Yeah! Blessings.
nice to see a post from you!
Fun! I totally agree with you on the thrift store theory. I know, it's terrible, but I think this whenever I go Christmas shopping: "Where is all this stuff going to end up?"
We know where!

good find!
Hi Kristin,
That is my neighborhood Goodwill too and I also miss Wayne and the old crew... and the old store setup and items. It doesn't seem to have as good stuff anymore. But I still have to keep checking, just in case...
You're back! I'm flattered you checked out my blog because yours was my inspiration :)
Hi lady. So nice to see you again!
I just came across your blog, and it is nice to see there are blogs about TS. I look forward to visiting you blog.

Kristin-
My son is getting ready to move into his first apartment in Cambridge this weekend and my husband who has very limited (ie virtually zero)thrifting experience is going up there to help him set up.
I'd appreciate any thrifting suggestions for furniture/household items that you would be willling to share. They won't be looking for the rare or exotic--just basioc needs.
Thanks!

My son is moving into his first apartment this weekend in Cambridge. My DH who has very little (ie approaching zero) thrifting experience is going up there with him to help him get set up.
If you would be willing to share any recommendations for places to look for furniture/household items, I'd really appreciate it.
They won't be looking for anything unusual/rare/exotic---just the minimum to get by.
Thanks,

That is an amazing thrift store find! I love thrift store art some of it is just too amazing to believe.
Very awesome cow - in a pop art kinda way.
I can also relate to feeling out of sorts when things change at the thrift store... What I love is when you can finally crack the one really gruff thrift store employee, and you learn that they are a huge sweetheart. I'm always very kind to thrift store staff: they have a tough job sorting all of our junk!
love that cow. I would surly hang it on my wall at home. Where can i get one?
