the pink fairies of poverty

Came home from work with a string of pink fairy lights. Pink. Well, when you buy all your stuff in thrift shops you can't afford to be picky.

A framed print also followed me home. It's of a painting featuring a cow, a sheep, a horse and a rooster. When you buy all your stuff in thrift shops you can afford to bring home and try out something you're not sure about, and then throw out (read: give back to thrift shops) the things you're tired of.

There is  great freedom  in being poor. I say this with no sarcasm whatsoever.
