You’re Right

In fall of 2005 I took my first trip alone to visit my grandmother. We were taking a walk near the Quaker Meeting House when I saw her dog curiously sniffing a folded paper. Upon investigation I found this! And, to my great pleasure, about 100 feet down the road was another small note, this … Continued

Love, Mila

I found this tucked between the pages of a textbook in a thrift store. What’s the reason for placing a towel on someone’s pillow?

Could Yoo

One Child Breezing Through Nap Time

I found this ripped coloring/numbering exercise lying dejected on the ground at 7th and Bainbridge St. It seems the whole farm is asleep today.

Found in the lift of my building … a series of quite touching Post-It notes.

Found in a students notebook left at the dining hall at Philadelphia University. Must say I’m a little jealous of “Babyboy.”

Bedtime Songs

A friend and I found this on the side of the road on the way back home after a night out. It was pretty scratched and looked like it had endured the rain, but managed to splutter into life when played at home. It has since become a favourite for us both before bed, although … Continued

Your First Parade

Found this in my driveway on a rainy day. Looks like a journal entry that slipped out of its book. Feels to me likes its written by a young mom.
