scavenged treasure
My kids tease me, but I always gawk at "treasures" put out by the street on the day prior to trash day. Yesterday while babysitting at my DS's I noticed the neighbor across the street putting out some furniture including some pink painted pieces. I texted by DDIL to ask if she wanted me to snag any. Before she could get back to me, someone grabbed the tall dresser & a bookcase. I went over to look over the pieces left, with my 4yo nonverbal grandson in hand, and the two guys there carried across a nice long dresser with 4 center drawers & a door cabinet on each end, along with the bookcase. I was really happy when DS & DIL got home & were really happy with my "treasures". You would not believe the goodies I have gotten this way---best one of all was a washing machine for the cottage! Just needed a hose unclogged & it's been running fine for over 8 years!! Just goes to prove: one man's junk is another man's treasure!
