One of the things I love about the thrift shop is that I find truly unique handmade objects there almost every time I visit. Like this rendering of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, made from cotton balls glued to old paperback books:
Or this strangely festive hand-embroidered “No Smoking” sign:
And who wouldn’t want this a statue of a woman with a bunch of grapes stuck to her hair?

I wish I was lucky enough to find such an item. I just come across twenty-something year old cutlery and dishes.
