Most people probably think I'm crazy, but I have found some good deals in
other people's trash. For example, driving home one day, I passed by a
long dresser on the curb. Never mind that I had a vehicle full of
furniture that I just picked up, so I rushed home to empty out the SUV
and enlist the help of my husband to come with me and pick up the
dresser. Unfortunately it didn't fit in the back of the SUV so I made my
husband drive while I rode in the back with the hatchback open making
sure it didn't fall out. Cause good deals like that are hard to pass up!
Well
not all curb side finds have happy endings. Just last week I found a
really cute children's table and two chairs on the side of the road. I
had it half loaded into my vehicle before I discovered a used condom on
one of the chairs. Disgusting. I threw it all back on the curb and
doused myself in hand sanitizer and thought "yuck I'm not ever going to
do that again". Haha which was a promise I probably won't keep.
For
the past couple of days I had been messaging someone about a beautiful
antique vanity with a mirror and a bench. It was in great condition but
painted an ugly green color. Which never bothers me since I see past
those things. I was hoping to pick up the vanity tomorrow
but the person messaged me back saying she threw it in the dumpster
because she had to have the house cleaned out. It made me so angry not
only that it wasn't going to be mine but also that someone could just
throw that kind of stuff away. Who does that??? If anyone is going to
throw away an antique piece of furniture in good condition contact me
first because I will gladly take it off your hands! Or at least notify
me when you plan to throw it away because I am not embarrassed to take
something from someone's curb...
