Featured Unusual Pressed Glass Pink Bowl - Anyone Recognize?

Is your ACS shop called a Discovery Shop? @KikoBlueEyes

 

Yes, it is. It's three blocks from my gym, so very convenient. It is my reward after going to the gym.

 

I'm a long time volunteer at the local one.

 

Love it. The volunteers at my shop are very lovely. I help looking things up for them sometimes I spend at least three months each year traveling so I can’t commit to volunteering.

 

We've added the phrase "Thank you for supporting cancer research" to our "thank you for shopping with us" to every customer as they leave. It was very surprising to us how many did not realize our reason for being (for over 30 years, for heaven's sake!) despite the big sign next to the entrance.

Your patronage is just as important!

 

I used to go to the Discovery Shop in Santa Rosa ! Wonderful shop and staff-thank you for volunteering and bless.

 

My oncologist always thanks me profusely when it comes up in conversation.

 

Bless all the true non-profits and the folks who work there.

 

I've a rather loopy story about Santa Rosa....

 

I know all the regular volunteers very well. No one thanks me anymore.

They're more about green tags are 50% off, and such.

 

They have this revolving thing going on right now if you shop at different stores and get your certificate signed off, then you get a discount. But I never been to the other stores.

 

Overbear-Tell us about Santa Rosa (Hitchcock filmed there/Natalie Wood grew up there/Andy Devine died there),tell us.

 

How wonderful that your oncologist recognizes the contribution of these stores. I buy things and redonate them after I post them here sometimes.

 

So true.

 

I can't wait. I love your stories.

 

Me too.

 

Santa Rosa,a great place to grow up in the early 60's.We hardly knew Sonoma and Napa County grew grapes .Then at the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 California wines beat French Bordeaux's and Chardonnays,things changed quick.
They made a movie out of it called 'Bottle Shock' with Alan Rickman and Chris Pyne.
