we have a kerbside rubbish collection every 6 months. often it is just rubbish that is left out. This week though we scored!

2 wire frames that will be good to grow peas over
1 moon chair - needs new cushion
1 dresser - mirror missing - will paint up very nice
1 mirror - will go on dresser
1 x 2 seater lounge - in perfect condition.

ok walking up the street with a lounge on the wheel barrow was a little embarrassing, so we waited till it was dark :)

Awesome score! Congrats.

Great way to recycle! :wink (2):

I wasn't sure what you meant by a "moon chair", so I looked it up. I've seen them most often as a "Papasan" chair or a "dish" or "saucer" chair. http://moonchairstor...est-moon-chair/

I have one of those that needs a new cushion, too.

Where words and actions disagree, the heart is revealed.

Look how often the unexpected happens... and we still don't expect it.

Don't you just love it when you find one thing at one place and then the next stop is the piece missing from the first one!
THAT happens to us all the time too.
Just this past weekend while 'yard saleing' for oue Flea Market Booth we found a great calligerphy 'brand new' but missing the book, the very next yard sale HAD the book! But no set?
