weekend thrifting

i find vintage fascinating.

so many items that were once fixtures in other people's lives come to find themselves abandoned in some jumble pile at the Goodwill. how did they end up there? who owned them? it's fun to imagine all the backstories.

for example, i'd guess the AARP member who owned this previously was a fabulous, eccentric UES divorcée with gads of money who ran a marsupial rescue organization, as such a coat could clearly only be used as a gestational surrogate for abandoned baby kangaroos.

be careful reaching into that pocket...
