WOWEE!!!! You win the prize for HAUL of the week! Can't believe that most of this stuff was FREE!! How great is that! So many great finds....love the ceramic container at the end! BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow!! I love everything you got!

Wow love the pot holder and the beautiful pot! Can't believe what people throw away.

Good haul! I like the iron pot holder. I think you'll turn the chair bottom upside down, put colored bottles on the legs & weave a spider web in the center. How far off am I of your design? Can't wait to see what you do with her.

Man I wish we had freeby days. The only place we have curb trash is where you don't want to get out of your car. LOL. Wonderful treasures to play with for you spring garden.

Totally jealous here!!! Wonderful finds. You are going to post after pictures right?!!!

I want to live near you!! Great stuff, love that last planter with the blue flowers, I don't remember the 50's iron plant holder, I was up in cold country then I guess, oh, wind up there knocks over heavy barbq's so guess that would probably have been inside in screened/enclosed porch. It will be lovely when plants are in it & would be nice as is or painted! JAN

Great haul, cait!!! Whoa, that lovely flowered ceramic pot...love the shape & design...and that would look great with your other mosaiced pots!! LOL at akup's design for chair bottom...hmmm, can't wait to see your idea! Thanks for the pics! Jeanne S.

Holy Cow that is a lot of good stuff!!! I love that ceramic pot but I also love that orange tea kettle. The 50's plant stand is just plain awesome!!!!

I hate you too, cait! lol! Love the 50s planter and the ceramic pot. Isn't it amazing what people throw out? It is one great thing about living in an apartment. My Bob and I often go dumpster diving in the building here and have found some great stuff. Things I find that I don't use go to Goodwill or some other charity. I can't stand to see good junk thrown out! I see a lot of mosaic material in that haul and some great goblets!

I was pretty shocked by all the freebie boxes at the op shops when I went this time. They usually have totally unusable items in them; unusable for my purposes, anyway. Maybe they were all 'fall' cleaning or something. HA!

I have a few of those types 50s planters. They're kinda kitschy, but I do like kitsch.

akup... LOVE your idea!! But how did you know that..................... that ain't what I'm gonna do!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm going to be a bit slow at making anything cuz it's now cool enough to play in the garden. I'm clearing a huge section outside of Our Lady Gardyn so I can plant a buddleja forest - that's what I'm calling it. I need a home for my gnomes and thought a buddleja forest would be a fun area for them. And buddlejas aren't bothered by the frost, can tolerate the extreme heat, and can even survive the drought, so they're perfect as a forest. I also have another arch I want to put up and will put it there. Have had this arch for years and decided I need to get that up and put plants around it... also need to finish the trellises to the entrance of OLG. Had started doing that when the Feb heat came in, along with the fires, so my summer outside was shot. Gotta take advantage of this cool fall weather we're having. But I will work on the chair bottom at night so you won't have to wait too long for that project to be complete.

FREE FREE FREE
Unbelievably FREE
Cannot get over all these finds!
Can't wait for the AFTER PICS!
