A cluttered shop counter filled with figurines and glassware, like unsold donated goods.
A gold framed vintage mirror resting on crinkled paper, like the mirrors nobody wanted.
A brown woven basket on green fabric, ready to be filled with secondhand finds.
A tidy black and white closet with clothes on a rail, like a wardrobe being worn through.
A drawer of neatly arranged clothes, showing how a small space can hold more.
