Hey! a picture I sent in to Found Magazine a few years ago made it to “Find of the Day” how cool is that! They only posted one from the series, which is quite a shame as the whole bunch together are really bizarre. I found these in Value Village (Tucson AZ), a notoriously great thrift shop back in the early 90′s.
Here is full series (click to view bigger if you’re not afraid!)
Hey!!! I’m a *DIEHARD* fan of FOUND MAGAZINE for about 4 years now…I religiously, every morning, get up, go pee, make some coffee or tea, turn on my computer, and go DIRECTLY to the site, (FOUND MAGAZINE) literally!
I always post a comment, the people are fun and very friendly, we have such a wicked time laughing about one another’s comments and such! Are you a regular there, as well?
Anyway, all us *FOUND-HOUNDS*-*FOUNDIANS* are thrilled to death when the *FINDER* of he *FOUND* posts a comment and gives us more insight and detail to what/where/when/who/ and why to what they have FOUND!!!!
Thank-You ever so much for being a Trooper and filling us in…and I love this site/blog with the other pics, too! Whenever a person whom has FOUND an item and or items, and had the fortune of it being the FOUND of the Day, if it’s a photoalbum and there’s more than 1 pic, I ALWAYS ask and wonder…what did the other pics look like? Who lost them? Why? What happened in their life?
Pictures are precious, and to lose or have them stolen, is a downright crime! But, to just throw them away…unbelievable!
Anyhoo, I’m glad you posted and showed off your treasure to us! Keep on lookin’ for more goodies to send in!! I’ve only ever FOUND a Post-Card but nothing weird or out of the ordinary written on the back, but, the pic on the front is worth a million words!!! I still haven’t seen or been informed that it’s the FOUND of the Day…:o(
Oh well…I’m sure they MUST get tons of stuff!!
If you haven’t already, check out Postsecret.com…every Sunday new Anonymous secrets from around the world are posted…fabulous site!
I hope you become a regular poster…I’ll watch out for you!!
Holly the Homemaker in Toronto!
BTW, was these FOUND in Ontario somewhere? I remember you mentioning VALUE VILLAGE and I go there quite often looking for deals and FOUNDS!!
I’m not too sure if they have those stores in the U.S.A?

Hi Holly,
thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the pics. They were found in Tucson AZ at a thrift store there (i updated my post to clarify). Many people said they were scared or hated clowns, but I think if you see all the pics the whole scene has kind of a charming warm feel to it. Seems to me it’s a jolly dad and his kid preparing for a rad Halloween adventure.
