I used to get annoyed when we would be driving
along, and Steve would have to pull over to
check out what someone had thrown out on the
sidewalk, no matter what condition it was in.
Once, we were driving around in Lancaster, and
there was a huge empty dirt lot (hard to imagine,
huh?), and he had to make a fast u-turn because
he spotted a bundle of old clothes and boots.
Really, he got out of the car and inspected the
boots. I put my foot down and said, "NO
SHOES!!!".
But, now I am grateful that he is a trashpicker,
because we wouldn't have our dishwasher or this
really nice tv stand if he didn't have that
quality. We did have our tv sitting on a horrible
little black shelf, but he found this one on the
sidewalk, all torn apart and he just put it back
together! I seriously love it!
I can be a trashpicker too. These are the curtains
I made from the material we used as table
runners for my wedding. I love the way they
turned out, but even more, I love that I can
actually sew now! My mom's a great teacher.
And yes, I agree, the curtain rod is way too small,
but it was the only one I half way liked at Bed,
Bath and Beyond, and by the time we put them
in (what a pain!!!), we felt kind of stuck with them!
I should have just gone to Walmart!!!
