Travelling Museum of Finds
Following the launch of Rag and Bone, I would have been at festival and bookshop events this year, sometimes accompanied by a ‘Travelling Museum of Finds’.

Instead, as I’ve been unable to take it out, this blog offers a virtual version: a show-and-tell of lost and discarded objects.
