Rummage Room(s)












From our intrepid correspondent, Ben McCann: "Happy new year from Leverett MA, home of the best county-run rummage room at the transfer station. Each shed is a different category. Takes a dedicated crew to peruse in zero degree weather."

Bedroom Window, Saturday Morning
