One My Way Home I Found.....

Today was a gorgeous day! 
A friend and I worked on a project at the library today (more about that in another post).
I passed many garage sales on my way home but I just don't need any more 'stuff' so I didn't stop at any. These things and lots more were piled by the curb in front of a house that was not having a sale....I wasn't sure why they were there...too good to be free. I continued home, used the bathroom, got a drink, and remembered I forgot to stop at the grocery store....so off I go again. I decided to drive past that house on my way (it's out of my way for the store) and I saw a free sign. 
I'm gonna stop!!!
And I did. Look what I found: two, yes 2, metal watering cans (one does not have the end on it, there was one more but I left it), there is nothing wrong with the ladders (I think I'll use them for plants), the plastic drawer unit already has a place in the corner of my bedroom (to replace something that is not quite working) , the Life is Good  sign will be outside on the deck fence (it will replace the sunflower screen painting that Kev threw out).



Another woman pulled up right after I did and was picking up stuff too. The homeowner came out and said she was just getting rid of stuff...."I'm not going to have a garage sale" she said, and she was putting out more as she cleaned the garage. My car was full and I had to buy some groceries....no, hubby did not see my stash...he was golfing. 
He's finished with the deck and put the furniture out this afternoon. Now I can enjoy any nice days we might have with a table and decent chair. 
But not tomorrow.....rain is predicted and we are heading to my daughter's.

  5. I can't believe K threw out your sunflower pic! Arghhh! Great finds. Oh that plastic thing would find a place in my craft area! That little ladder would be perfect for a short little friend! You are so lucky, Linda!
