Velvet pillowcases

 


I used to volunteer at the Oxfam shop. Fortunately, I was designated to the book section. Nothing better than to work with books all day.

There was another section, my least favourite, that dealt with household accessories. There was often really strange stuff there. For instance, customers regularly brought in elaborate embroidered velvet pillowcases from the 60s, which I found horrifically ugly. Yet, surprisingly they always found a buyer. Who'd guess.
