Original caption

I bought this little wooden trinket box at Goodwill… but I definitely wasn’t expecting it to come with a MYSTERY inside. 👀 There was old newspaper stuffed inside with something wrapped up in it — and I waited until I got home to open it. Part 2: Let’s see what somebody left behind. 😳. #goodwillfinds #vintagefinds #trinketbox #thriftfinds #thrifting
