No More Socials by Carla Jandelle Petters
One thing I found so amazing…was that in one of the walk-in closests of this abandoned farm, were a group of dresses. Very little damage was visible and when I pulled them apart a bit to see details you could see the vibrant colors that they once were. / One was a brilliant blue…another a hot pink/red….one had lovely flowers embroidered on it and one was just a simple work dress. / I always wonder about the people who were once in these places when they were still alive with children’s voices…with the smells of the kitchen…with the feel of the clean air that we just hardly ever find anymore. / / UPDATE: / After talking with another older local who knew the family that once lived here…......I found out the lady of the house loved music and dancing. She had a dance room in another building located off of the actual house that she’d dance with her children while someone played the piano. / Imagine what it must have been like…...so much life! / This farm has been abandoned for over 35 years….one of the sons still owns the property and lets cows run free now but there is still ‘something’ when you walk thru the empty house…you just know someone is still there laughing and singing…or something…..

And The Music Stopped Playing by Carla Jandelle Petters
Another view of the old abandoned farm house. Many have seen this record player in another photo…but I couldn’t resist another image/view of it. / When I see this player, I think of the family, or at least kids, sitting around with books drawing, reading, coloring…......listening to it playing lightly scratched records. Seeing the plush chairs, it was probably a very comfortable room at one time, with hand made rugs (some still show on the floor) and lots of dim lights covered in smokey glass domes. / I imagine a dog somewhere in there at someone’s feet, a cat curled up in someone’s lap….and an overall air of contentment. / Everything was left behind in this home located in Kansas, over 35 years ago. I’ll probably never know why.

A Perfect Pair: Imperfect Chairs by PolarityPhoto
Two chairs cough their insides across a day room at Hurricane Psychiatric Center in New York. Once a resting place for weary souls, these chairs are now themselves are weary and worn. Quietly. / Patiently. Gutted and nearly lifeless, they await another adventurous traveler to stop, relax and tarry a while; taking a deep breath and the time to absorb the history, the energy and feel the story they are so eager to share.

Neglected Teddy by Victoria DeMore
11/2/09 – 994 views Possibly one of my best photos ever. This teddy bear has been keeping my goat, Oreo, company since his other goat friend Dot passed away. But this picture has sparked many people into wondering why the teddy bear is so sad, why he is sitting on a bucket next to a fence. Create your own story! This could be a good “I Miss You” card or “Sympathy” card. Taken at my home in PA. Panasonic Lumix TZ-3

About This Group
This group is for abandoned items, the things left behind. Clothing, dishes, furniture, toothbrushes, hair brushes and maybe even family photos!!!
Building exteriors are NOT allowed in this group.
Three a day only please.
Abandoned ITEMS only.
Do not submit doors, door handles, door latches, chandeliers, stairs, windows, billboards, roadway signs, new items, exteriors, trash, landscapes, or anything else that would not be considered as abandoned, personal effects.
We do accept pictures of vehicles. However, closeups of the emblem, headlights, interior, etc., will not be accepted. The vehicle itself is the abandoned item, so a large portion of it needs to be visible in the pic.
