RUBY TUESDAY: ADVERTISEMENT FOR A GOOD CAUSE....

A recent thunderstorm in NY City entrapped me in the CURE Thrift Shop (for Diabetes)

 on 12th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues.  

Towards the end of the storm I asked if they had an umbrella - they found this one, a delightfully

silky looking brolly by Estee Lauder, that I might not otherwise have bought, for $5!

'

It was raining hail stones the size of a dollar...

Since I was there for awhile, I also found this modern piece of sculpture, in tin to look like copper, for $10! 

Whether or not it came from Hong Kong, I do not know.  In any case, I liked and bought it!
