One Man’s Woman’s Trash is…………

My treasure;

I think by now I’ve told you a million times about our local Facebook groups where folks in our neighborhood/county buy and sell things. The other day a neighbor posted that she had one to many pumpkin plants and was running out of space in her small vegetable bed and asked if anyone wanted a free plant. The plant was 4 ft long already and had many blooms even one that was starting to form a fruit. I jumped at the chance and took it even though I was not sure if it would survive a mid season transplanting. Viola, here she is spreading out under our deck.

A week or so before this pumpkin episode again in one of those groups (this one was for crafters) some one posted about a free pallet. Her husband was on the brink of trashing it and I had a weekend to rescue it from the trash pile. Of course it came home with me! 🙂

Any guesses as to what I’m gonna do with it?

And there is this heap of free vintage lace, again from a neighbor down the street who got them from her family of seamstresses…. 

Nah, not gonna reveal what’s on the charts for these guys. Something really fancy and cool at the same time. 😉 Keep guessing.

Have you rescued anything from the trash pile? How did it feel?
