Symbols writing prompt: For-sale table of forgotten dreams



These five items are for sale at the side of the canal. Why are they there? Who put them there? Where are they from? What did they mean to the person who owned them? Was anything else there that's already been sold?

You can see more pictures of them in close-up on my very quiet blog, Creative Pause, designed to be a quiet space for creatives to breathe and recover from all the stimulation.
