Thrift store magic – photographic journal.
I adore thrift store shopping, and the place to do it is in the USA. The only problem is that it’s too expensive to bring the things back home.
I’m Australian and we really don’t have the same sort of stores. Ours are called “Op shops” and yes, you can buy old furniture, linen, clothing, but in the US, it almost seems to be an art form.
Thrift stores are full of the most interesting things and I love visiting and taking images simply because I can’t take them home.

FYI, the metal vessel with wooden piece is for forcing cooked fruits & veggies through the tiny holes by rotating the wood stir-stick round & round to create pulp from our Concord grapes. I would then put the pulp on cheese cloth and let the juice drip out and then make popcicles for my kids, well for their playmates too! I always thought I would make grape jam, but by the summers end, there wasn’t one drop left. I finally sent mine to a thrift store when I stopped canning the fruits & veggies from our garden
