Trip to a thrift shop

I went to a thrift shop to look for material for my fabric dying class. 


I use Google maps to get around everyday. 
For example, there are four thrift shops in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood.
































Serendipity - can you see the lovely mushrooms?

Strange things

Why is it peanut butter, when it's mostly jams?
It shows the status of peanut butter in America. 




"Mikan" is called "Satsuma" here- it was apparently imported to America via Satsuma Province, Japan.

Sunny moments & American flags

Seattle has an oceanic climate, just like the UK. 
It's not rare that we have different weather patterns in a day. But the summer is very pleasant with cool temperature!
