I’ve always been fascinated by attics. As a child, I used to sneak up to my grandparents’ attic to explore.

I’ve felt the same way in the past few weeks, climbing up to my own attic.

The most wonderful discovery I’ve made so far is an old shoebox filled with typewritten sheets of poems and black and white photographs. Photos and scans of those soon!
