Could have been Dollys treasures.....

I went with hubby to the scrap yard the other day
to help unload his truck full of rusty scrap metal stuff.
Oh my gosh the saying
"One mans trash is another mans
{in this case womans"}treasure!
Was so true this day!

See that green metal chaise.... I so wanted that!
I really really wanted to dig to see what else
was buried in that pile
See this green chair..... I wanted that too!!!!
Hubby refused to take anything home
and I could not dig anything out because I had my flip flops on!
Next time.... I go and he stays home!
Did you see anything you'd consider a treasure in that pile?
God Bless dear friends

Boots and gloves and be careful. That is so true "one man's trash is another man's treasure."
It's amazing what people toss!!!
You're s funny!LOL
It's hard to make things out in the pile, but I am sure I would find something!! ;-D

I am going to show hubby that I am not the only one that sees treasures and NOT JUNK in that big heap! :-)
Boots and gloves and away I go!!!
Luvs ya sweet ones!
We had a scrap yard in my old town and I MISS IT!!! I need to find one soon. Some of my best pieces found me at a scrap yard:)
Great post!

hello friend! I have missed you and your cherrycute blog!
Ooh that looks like heaven at the scrap yard. make sure you are prepared, with boots and gloves so you can climb that mountain of 'gold'

I always wonder, with all the talk of recycling and conservation, why the landfills don't have a warehouse for us junkpickers to "shop" and rescue all the good stuff that gets thrown away. I bet we would find some real treasures!
Next time--you go with me! And I'll wear the hiking boots and gloves and we will load up the back of my SUV, hear?!
When we're through, we'll go get ice cream.
Blessings to you as you make your home...
I will be doing more posts on staging, so stay tuned, and you will learn more of what to do in other spaces...
Hugs to you!

Oh jeez, what IS it with men, they just don't get it sometimes! I love everything you pointed out and I saw what looks like some rusty old fencing in the first picture I want too! I could see that 2nd chair with some cute oilcloth cushions! I wanna go with you!!

Hi Dolly,
Sorry I'm so late to reply, but I wanted to thank you for the really nice comment on our home remodel! Looks like you don't just love to remodel homes....I think that's great! I'll go to the trash yard with you any day :)
Blessings,
Stephanie

Isn't it sad how much good stuff people throw away. I definitely would have gone for that chaise!
Nancy

Dear Dolly,
thanks a flot for entering my drawing. Yes - if you win you have chose a heart with an English verse.... ;-))
Best wishes, Anita
LOL Dolly, this is EXACTLY what happens when I go to our county landfill, too! It's to the point I have to go by myself, my husband says "no" to every good thing I see in the "pile"! (Once I did sneak home an old metal lawn chair---I was BRAVE that day!) I love this post of your's, it's so me, too! I know you must be very busy with the new-old house, how fun! But don't work too hard!
Hugs, Heidi
