One Man's Garbage...
Pin It
I have a confession. I'm a garbage picker. There I said it and I feel so much better now.
In fact, I even have a friend who pick garbage for me...in her pajamas! Now that is friendship. But I have found some amazing things in the garbage and you know the saying "one man's garbage is another man's treasure."
Sharing my treasure with you today.
So be honest, are you a garbage picker or are you too embarassed to admit it?

It is gorgeous. I would have picked that too. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me.
ReplyDeleteIf I could find garbage like that I would definitely pick it up! It turned out very nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, love the color. Yup I'm a serial roadside rescuer as well! Can't believe the stuff some people throw away.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I can't wait until I have the time to haunt and finish roadside and flea market finds. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFeaturing on Trash 2 Treasure tonight! Simply beautiful. And yes, I freely admit to being a garbage picker. Some of my best stuff has come from the trash on the curb!! :)

ReplyDeleteLove the final result...what type of paint and what color...?
ReplyDeleteI have been known to swoop up a wobbly chair on the side of the road once or twice. I usually pick up stuff at thrift stores, which is just someone else's discard, but it's not free ;) You did an awesome job with the bench. I can't believe someone threw it out. Thank you for sharing it at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a great week!
