Treasure Shopping on Trash Day--

Well, I just hit a jackpot. :0) I love trash days..... lol. I know, I'm an oddball, but it's just the coolest thing ever to drive by and see a chair or a piece of furniture, or a pile of "stuff" that looks like it would be fun to dig through.

Today's loot:
*Ralph Lauren twin size dust ruffle (might keep it and cut it up to re-size for my bed)
*a twin size wicker headboard
*short wire fencing with smooth edges to go around the lower section of our fence in
the back yard to keep my crazy dogs home
*2 nice wooden bed rails
*4 huge wrapped pieces of foam core (I'll just in a kitchen project I had in mind already)
*2 shoe racks (JUST shopped for these last weekend-- around $18 each)
*pre-lit Christmas star for outside (made out of brown grapevine wreath stuff)
*2 window grill thingys-- one of them in a really pretty diamond design (tudor house)

Loot from other trips in weeks and years past......
*chest of drawers (9 drawers)
*ball and claw foot coffee table with HEAVY beveled glass top
*copper and iron planter box (stand) for outside
*HUGE English pine side board with shelving
*English pine bookshelf
*2 TV armoirs (wood)
*upholstered swivel rocker
*full-sized leather couch with recliners on each end
*Tony found a dryer for our laundry room :0)
*ETC>>>>>>

That's all I can think of right now off the top of my head. I hate missing trash day...... lol. There's nothing more fun than finding free "treasure" on the side of the road!
