Thrift Store Camera

I found a disposable camera at the Salvation Army and got the thing developed! I think the one of the couple is cute. I imagine they picked up the camera and took a selfie! There is a weird one that looks like a finger or.. something else…

Wolfman

I found this at the Salvation Army near Junction and Michigan Avenues. Life is a charming thing.

I know the code is solved, which takes the fun away from it just a little.

Shoot Bibi Gun

I found this inside a children’s book at Goodwill. I thought he might have included a footnote for a minute there but when I unfolded the paper, sadly there was not one. I feel sorry for his sisters.

Respect

This was found in a notebook that we use at the thrift store where I volunteer.
