If my hubs is with me and almost always is he won't stop for things when I see them. He says I embarrass him, tuff buddy. <br /> They have a week in early spring in Grand Junction when people put things out to be picked up by the city. I wanted so badly to go, what might be out there is so alluring to me, that unknown thing I could score.<br />Since it was close to payday (SS) we didn't have enough money for gas so had to pass this year. We live west about 18 miles or so depending on part of G.J. we went to so it would have cost us too much gas, doggone it.<br /> The opportunities wasted, sigh, I swear I have bad dreams about all that got away. Hubs also cannot see future potential of things, says no we can't use them then when I buy them anyway, he takes credit for seeing how it could be used, grrrrr.<br />When we left KY had to leave several louver doors behind. They'd been in our house before son remodeled it, boy did that kill me to leave those babies. Had to leave all kinds of good stuff we could sure use now.<br />Ah well better stop rueing all that got away and get busy. Have some signs to make and cupboard doors we scored last week. Have a great week. srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-87034083210345557132012-05-30T19:06:39.254-04:002012-05-30T19:06:39.254-04:00You've got me beat with this post.

Anyway,I'm starting a party soon and hopefully you will come over and join up with your tag sale finds posts. Love these. Maybe the party will start next week. I'm going to put your link on my desktop so I can be sure and invite you over!<br />Tagging is fun, isn't it?<br />Take care, LindaCrafts a la Modehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199579251118328688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-8423184324206790512012-05-03T23:46:37.439-04:002012-05-03T23:46:37.439-04:00Thanks, Michele.

Such an interesting post...love repurposing & you do it so well! Great finds. We've picked up plenty from curbs ourselves. Check online to find the freecycle in your area.

Then again, it could be happening right around the corner for all I know. As for trash etiquette, I do love it when I see people prop up a mirror nicely or set something good aside from the pile. Not as exhilarating as searching and getting grubby and coming up with something winning, but it's nice once in a while!Liz @ Quirky Vistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619479131117781394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-40635514342996012102012-04-29T15:43:50.353-04:002012-04-29T15:43:50.353-04:00Me again- talk about trash etiquette- we are lucky...Me again- talk about trash etiquette- we are lucky enough to have freecycle and swap shop here. Usually you can find a place every sat to bring your stuff and it is amazing what people take. And what I take too:-) Nice to know that there is a place for stuff to go when it's not good enough for the charity shops but too good for landfill.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821433798559863761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-68794047728597832202012-04-29T15:38:14.505-04:002012-04-29T15:38:14.505-04:00Score!
