I spotted this clankety little box on my walk home from work the other night. Being kind of cool, old and, of course, trash, my interest was peaked. But I knew it was coming home with me when I opened'er on up to find it, to my delight, full of another hoarder's discarded memories. How this person convinced themselves to finally throw out their collection of report cards, post cards, invites, and arrest processing paperwork including a sheet of fingerprints I don't know but I sure walked home one happy gal. It's literally a box of fun! And a friggin' heavy one at that.
And if I weren't elated enough with just the tin box find of smelly old paper, I also happened across a box of oddly assorted old and weird books. Threw those into a bag with an even bigger smile on my face and then I floated home. I love a good trash night.
The image featured on this, "Treats for Children and Parents" page is kind of freaky.
Looks innocent enough but take a closer look my friend. Is it just me or do these little gingerbread men creations look slightly to very much indeed mutant and evil? Mmm,
delicious!

They may be mutant and evil, but they are natty dressers.
ReplyDeleteThe only person who would throw out cards and memories like you found in the box would be someone divorcing the love of their life...sob, sob...
ReplyDeleteOr maybe like an axe murderer who's trying to get rid of their trophies that they'd taken from all their victims that they like to look at over and over but then...oh, nevermind.
You find the greatest stuff! What a fun blog to look through. Makes me want to leave work early just to hit up the thrift stores! Have fun!
