Wow. <br /><br />Here on Capitol Hill, people put what they consider to be junk out on the sidewalk so those of us who prefer bargain "shopping" don't even have to go to the transfer station. The couch on which I'm sitting came off the street as well as my marble topped coffee table and a floor lamp I adore. <br /><br />I can relate.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-59057625102168230792011-10-18T06:20:09.835-07:002011-10-18T06:20:09.835-07:00I might be afraid to come home with too many treas...I might be afraid to come home with too many treasures.What a grand idea!Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-90040989921754768442011-10-18T03:54:07.888-07:002011-10-18T03:54:07.888-07:00isn't it cool that frugality leads to the grea...isn't it cool that frugality leads to the greatest riches?! superb finds! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-40415224183668819352011-10-17T21:02:33.622-07:002011-10-17T21:02:33.622-07:00"The Transfer Station" has an awfully om..."The Transfer Station" has an awfully ominous ring to it, but...<br /><br />Omigosh!

It was sitting on somebody's front yard with a big "FREE" sign on it. And it's OLD and WELL CONSTRUCTED. What a find! I adore finding and using cast-off things!

This makes me all the happier that I gave up on yard sales and, if there was something I thought made sense that someone could use, I would put them out two days before the bulky waste day--IF the weather was good.<br /><br />Things went, and I liked to picture them being used and enjoyed by someone else.
