Tales of a dumpster diving, trash day finding mom on a budget.

That's right, call me Queen of Finds. Everything here...



FREE!

(that's what happens when you dumpster dive drive around the neighborhood on trash day)

This was a freecycle giveaway - had to scrub the top but it's adorable and discontinued so I'm not sure if I'm putting it on craigslist or saving it. K already has 2 toy boxes in her room and it's still not enough...hmmmm

Trash day find. They must of known I was coming. It was propped up against the trashcan

These shelves came from the same trash day find of last weeks resident that had the 6 ft cherry wood shelf out at the curb. Hope you are still redecorating, I will be driving by again in the morning before the trash man cometh! These are in perfect condition and each still had the $39.99 price tag on the back.

Holy furniture toss out Batman. I don't think the trashman even had room for all the stuff this man threw out. I am still kicking myself for not picking out the sideboard he had out there. This one is already in the midst of a makeover

I squealed and so did the brakes on Thanksgiving night as I took K around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. It's OLD and I've already started her rehab, hence the odd shaped bottom. It's too small for an adult but bigger than toddler size..in the words of Goldilocks "it's juuusssttt right"

And my absolute to die for freecycle giveaway

a 1956 Singer. (so a gracious blogger says) Her serial number confirms a 1956 build.

Even if I never get the machine working the cabinet alone is worth it's weight in gold to me.

Sooo, what did you find?
