I Know I’m Not Popular

March 27, 2012

FOUND by Warren in the DAV Thrift Store, Springfield, Missouri

Found this neatly folded on the shelf with all the bags of toys at a DAV thrift store. I really feel for Destiny. I hope that Justin called her (after family dinner of course) but we may never know. This is framed and hanging in my house. Also, a friend’s band titled one of their songs “The lost love letter of…” after it.

FOUND by Sarah in Winchester Park, Las Vegas, Nevada

There isn’t much subtlety in this note, but there is one phrase that makes me wonder. She says, “…only have 1 man in my life.” Does she mean, I only have one right now and I’m looking for another? Or, does she mean, I don’t have any right now and I want you to be the one?

What’s the perfect excuse to get down the road right next to where the neighbours are kicking off, how do I get to walk by without looking like a rubber necking nosey parker … mmmmmmmm … YES! The postbox!

Phyllis

March 19, 2012

FOUND by Nyssa in New York

I found this in the pocket of a dress in a thrift store. The owner of the store had no idea where it came from and let me have it for free. Someone’s written, “Phyllis, mum’s friend” on the back in pencil.
