Here’s what I found at the thrift store on Saturday. All for less than $5 total! Stay tuned for the metamorphosis into a cool new item….

Today Hayward and I cleaned the garage and got rid of a bunch of stuff on Freecycle. If you don’t know what that is, you need to find out about the group in your area. All items are totally free and it’s basically a forum where you post what you are offering and what you are looking for. The group I’m in is very active (Be prepared to get LOTS of emails)… but it’s interesting to see what all comes up. Today I posted a karaoke machine, small toaster oven, book on tape and portable sishwasher. While at the computer posting them, I noticed a Pottery Barn white rolling office chair come up and I immediately replied and wound up getting it- it’s beautiful- like new. And I think everything I had to give is gone- not sure about the dishwasher but someone’s coming to look at it tomorrow. Find out more at Freecycle.org and then type in your area/town. You’ll need a yahoo email address. Each group has different rules so check it out. To me, it just makes sense- we’re a bunch of people saving perfectly good items from our landfills.
