Though there's nothing I would actually buy from these shops, I'm quite fascinated by the pop up shops appearing on Crown Street, Surry Hills.

By doing … Continue reading Discarded

My "Discarded" category of posts is about the interesting and unusual things often left in my back lane way for other people to take away. Although I realise the dumping of old furniture … Continue reading Discarded Wheelchair
