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

I found this polaroid on the floor in Goodwill. I don’t know if there was a camera for sale and this is a test photo or if it fell out of an album or what. It’s probably expired film and it looks like it was stuck in the camera and somebody pulled it out. Must have passed the test, though. There was no polaroid camera around.

I picked up a diary in the children’s section of a thrift store. Some of the pages had prompts at the top. This one was “future predictions.” I taught 3rd graders for a year so if you can’t understand this, it translates to, “It will be like Star Wars. You will have a chore-bot. There will be a war. It will be a holy war.” Wait…a holy war?!

I found this at a local thrift store inside a 101 Dalmatians pencil case. I only picked it up since it was a case similar to one I used to own, and decided to look inside for no particular reason but nostalgia. I found this and a few other papers inside, the others reading “Gel pen Club.”
