HOW TO PUT A SMILE ON MUMMY’S FACE

First of all – I think I am being influenced by British TV – I now tend to refer to myself as mummy.

I had just been reading about a secondhand store called Brocki and I made a note to check out the one in Zurich. Then on our way back home – very close to home in fact. I noticed a sign that I see sometimes. I didn’t know what it said before, but a light went off when I saw it this time. It said Brocki offen. Brocki open! – hey – could it be – a thrift store right around the corner from our home. I think it’s my new favorite spot. This little hole of a store full of old dishes, toys, furniture, fabric, clothes, you name it. And I know the word gratis – that means free. There was a whole bin of cheery fabric out front for free. Oh yes that does make me smile.
