Some of those items that didn't get moved around too hectically (especially the glove towards the end) had a sad... "Happiness" quality to them. I liked it.

I enjoyed that bit of animation more than I expect, but Ms. Johnson is no Stephen and Timothy Quay.

@2, I like your new packaging!

"Trash?" Most (if not all) of these things could be reused, recycled or composted.

Ah, but it was the DONORS who left these things at the dump, and then they became art! Delightfully clever....
