Do you know what a thingfinder is?
imagine the following situation
you're walking down the street, minding your own business, thinking about the things that you have to do today and suddenly
there is a coin on the road or a feather
or a button
what are you going to do?
are you going to take it?
if you were a thingfinder, you would surely take it.
the thingfinders' concept originates from Astrid Lindgren's wonderful book
Pippi Longstocking
you should read it, it's a very nice book
there, in one of the first chapters
Pippi and her friends go around the neighbourhood and collect lost things
that's what it says in the book
I have been a thingfinder for almost a year and a half
and i'm very proud to say
that I've got
a very huge collection of things that i've found
and today i'm going to show you some of the items
that i've collected during the month of may
sometimes i'm very much like a magpie - i collect all the shiny items that i can find
children always loose so many things, mainly toys; but this one is very interesting
it's something from doctor who
one of those cat nurses i wonder who lost it
i collect feathers
one day i'm going to show you my whole
feather collection
it's huge
they say that if you find a button on the street, you will lose
someone you love
but that's never happened so far and i've collected many and many button
these are some of the items i found during an exploration journey in my parents' attic can you see this hammer?
this is the first time i've seen
such a strange-shaped hammer
it's always useful to find pieces of
string and ribbon on the street
paperclips are maybe the most
common thing to find when you're a thingfinder
and hairpins and stuff
but this one was something unexpected
it's a false nail. it hasn't been attached because there's no glue on it
and now, all of these items are supposed to
get in the thingfinder's bag
so, at the end of the year i'm going to have all the things that i've collected in one place
i do hope that you liked my thingfinder's video
and if you did, please
let me know in the comments so i may know if you want me to make another
i've already started collecting the june items and some of them are very interesting
and yeah, that's all for today
bye
are you a thingfinder yourself?
