Trash To Treasure

Two great finds today...

21 years ago

Just so excited, at the "curbstore" today I scooped up an almost "new" upholstered office chair (now I can be more comfortable on my puter, wooden kitchen chair was hard as the dickens)....and a wrought iron stand for an aquarium...going to cut two pieces of wood and mosaic them and I will have a really neat stand for plants, or whatever!!!

I Love Trash Day!!!!!!!!!!!!! (LOL)

ohiomom, That's wheremy comp. chair came from. It's a really nice one. The upholstered back had come off & it was laying on the chair. A few upholstery tacks & I have a very nice chair. Last night I found a round kerosene heater in excelent shape & still full of kerosene. Looked like someone moved out of a house & just pitched everything they couldn't carry. It was dark & raining & I've been sick so didn't dig through stuf. Was happy with heater & two blue lamps for garden totems.

Don't you just love those days/nights when you find something so useful/worthwhile??? I saw some plywood yesterday but my DD was driving and would not stop the car!! I went back today, but it was gone (DARN!!!!)

That's GREAT news Andrew...you're talking to someone that HATES shipping with a passion. Don't get me wrong I've ordered many things and have had to pay shipping(many times that's the only way to get things you want) but I'm with you...if its doable w/out shipping that's just more $$ to spend on a few more plants,lol...You're very lucky to find this nursery. They could have just as easily tacked on an extra $10 or so just to cover their shipping charges.

Another great day Wayne! ShaggyBill on another forum summed it up best! You're killing us! Myself I was very excited to find our first snake on property last evening. It was a very reddish redbellied snake about 6 inches long. Also a few ground skinks and one coal skink. For what is supposed to be a very common snake we only find about a dozen a year on property and maybe one or two elsewhere. They are usually found very early in the Spring and late Fall with very few in between. They also run about two to one in favor of the red or brown phase. Have often wondered if that is the norm or just this location.
