One man's trash is another man's treasure

Today, is big trash day.

This morning, while running, I scoped out everyone's trash looking for new treasures. I'm afraid this big trash day had slim pickings. The first house I ran past did have a nice toliet and dishwasher up for grabs. I'm afraid I do not need a toilet or a dishwasher. Of course, my family might disagree on the toilet. Sometimes my toilets don't work, and I probably could use a new toilet. Is this TMI (too much info)? Probably. Moving on...

The next house I ran past had an awesome chandelier tossed to the curb. I actually stopped to get a closer look at the chandelier. I'd never seen anything like it before. Folks, one of my fine neighbors was tossing a teapot chandelier.
This is a picture of a fancy teapot chandelier. The one tossed to the curb wasn't this fancy, or white. But the one tossed to the curb was pretty nice. I could see real potential with the teapot chandelier. Well, if you were a creative person and had a couple cans of spray paint.

Blogger World, I'm afraid that's all this month's big trash day had to offer. I found no new treasures, but I did see my first teapot chandelier.

That is really cool. I guess you didn't need the chair with wheels that was sitting in my yard.

I saw the chair, but I didn't know if it was for grabs or someone left it outside.
