Wednesday’s What I Found – Christmas Curbside Find

“STOP!!!”

That’s what my Better Half hears many days we are out and about.  I’m not yelling at his driving abilities.  He’s a good driver…at least in the forward position…not so much in reverse. That’s a whole different post though! I’m typically yelling STOP because I have just spotted someone’s trash that is inevitably going to be my treasure.

, Saving 4 Six

When I spotted this beauty I really couldn’t believe they were getting rid of it.  My Better Half actually went to the door to make sure that it was not decorating their trash can but that indeed they wanted it gone.

, Saving 4 Six

Do they not know that a simple swag of greenery…cut right from their own pine trees (which they had in their front yard – BTW) can make their trash look so beautiful!?  Maybe I should have suggested that to the owner instead of laughing with glee as I loaded it into my van.
Anywhoo, it’s mine now!  I snagged a swag of greenery, cut from my own pine trees and tied it with a bow.

There you have it!
Their Trash…My Christmas Treasure.

    I did the same thing 9 yrs ago with an old sled we had. So I didn’t have to embarrass anyone. (Heehee) Have used it outside every since. Although my green isn’t fresh (artificial). Just makes it reusable. Hey my name is Karey too.

    I found you from the homemaking link up and loved this article about trash to treasure. Wish I could take off right now but my neighbor is moving so I can find trash to treasure just walking next door. Even Christmas presents. Please come by and read my blog and follow if you like.
