Curbside shopping

16 years ago

I knew you guys would appreciate this....it is raining to beat the band here today in Virginia, but it didn't stop me from pulling my van over and snatching an old high chair off the side of the road on my way home from work! I noticed it when I went in to see my mom at her assisted living place, and since it was still there on my way out...well, I've read so many great stories of curbside finds, I just had to stop and get it. It's raining too hard to get a picture at the moment, but it's a wooden highchair without the tray part...perfect to put a plant on int the garden!

Thanks for the inspiration!

You go girl, if it hadn't been raining, it most likely would have been gone already. Let us see the pix when it's in the garden.

Brave girl! It's such fun curb shopping...but I always feel as if somebody is peeking to see what weirdo stops to pick up what the owners think is junk. We don't see many curb goodies around here, but when we do, it's WOO HOO all the way!

A friend gave me a brightly-painted wooden high chair last year with a plant in it. I just planted it up for this season and LOVE IT! Have fun with yours!

I love curb shopping. My car just automatically slows down when it spots "anything" by the curb now! Great find for you.
