Not Skunked at the Goodwill Store Today

My hotel in Seattle is less than a mile from a Goodwill store.  How could I not scoot over there at the first opportunity?

That opportunity was today.

There is not a parking lot at this Goodwill store and we found a spot a few blocks away.

Upon leaving the car, we were bombarded by loud obscenities from across the street.  An irate irritated F-bombing local character.   Wow.  We ain’t in Kansas anymore.

The Goodwill store was mostly clothes – no furniture and “hip” young and friendly employees.

I found an old picture from Missoula Montana with a nice frame for $3.99 and then this  woodblock print.

dscn3162I know what you are thinking when you see this print.

I know that your first thought is – “Hey, that is a skunk cabbage!”

Or maybe, “Hey, that is on phallic lookin’ skunk cabbage!”

Either way, it is a vintage 1972 print by Dale De Armond.   I googled her and her stuff is rather nice.

This is an early piece by her.

dscn3165I guess if you have seen one skunk cabbage, you have seen them all.

If you have smelled a skunk cabbage, you know how aptly it is named.

I was pleased to be out of my regular Goodwill store range and still find a good thing.

Yay.
