Today's Free Finds

I believe it's true that I can find something new on MOST days.  This morning started with seeing a TV cabinet and a media cabinet on the curb around the corner from my house.  I don't have a truck at the moment but I think it's close enough to just go pick up with a dollly.  Now, do I really want to pick them  up and have to see them before it rains?  I think the answer is yes!

I also found this fan on the curb. It inspired a new sidebar for the blog: "Does It Work?". Usually, they do! I took it home and plugged it in and voila! It's not pretty but IT WORKS! I think a little cleaning will go a long way. I think this is my third free fan!

Later I was driving on the highway and found this washboard which I risked life and limp to pick up off the side of the road (ok, not really, but it sounds like good drama)!  They're usually around $28 at the flea market.  I can't decide if I want to keep this one or sell it.  Oh!  Just had a vision of it in the basement laundry room I have planned!  Guess I'll keep it!  How often do you find a vintage washboard on the side of the road?  I also picked up about a dozen aluminum cans as I was walking back to the car.  Had to restrain myself from walking all the way to the next exit because I could see lots of cans up ahead.  But I decided to be a sane person instead!

I wonder what I'll find tomorrow!
