hello hello! we all know how the saying goes. one man's trash is another man's treasure. well that saying couldn't hold more true in my world. except for the man part. because here it's GIRL all way! read on for a little trash talk...
there is nothing that sets my heart a racin' more than the words "clean up week". because it means i get to "clean up" @ the many junk piles that wait. here's a little peek @ part of a metal heap {below}.
i indulged in a heap'n help'n of rusty gold. with these "trashy" finds {below} thrilling me to no end. i had a vision...the "attendants" @ the yard...they had a chuckle...cause they couldn't believe someone would really be grabbing trash can lids...oh...i mean sculptural metal discs!
and speaking of the hard working attendants - when i spied a fantastic lengthy piece of galvanized metal...i knew i wasn't going to be leaving without it. which called from some assistance from chuck {below}. not only was this fella good enough to dig out the fragment for some junk crazed lady...but he hauled it to a safe spot til i was ready to pick it up @ a later date. and did you notice his tat? WHITE?!? this guy is patinaWHITE all the way! love it!
plus talk about a crew a guys with a heart. they were so thoughtful of nature that they sectioned off the normally busy area {below} from potential hazards being tossed in on the baby birds. sweet.
the protected area housed something that caught my eye. but i followed the rules and didn't disturb. even junk has it limits! but this is what i passed up...a section of galvanized culvert {below} that would have made a neat side table. oh well...maybe next year!
moving on to the massive wood collection...i did spy a nondescript spool {below}. thinking it would be a great jewelry display/spinner in another life i hauled it away. again...much to the amusement of onlookers @ the yard. it's hard to explain my motives....so i just smile and scoot along...
i could have "played" here all day. there were even racquets ready and waiting! but i kept searching for the next treasure!
heck...it looks like i was late to the party {below}! i must have already missed the chips and margaritas! i guess the early bird really does get the worm. and i don't mean the one in the bottle of tequila!
i didn't need any excuse to party other than the fact that i really "raked" in the junk on this occasion. as you can see...i've got a lot of junk in my trunk!
so i suppose rather than talk about all the great ideas i should just get to work and then SHOW & TELL ya all about it! so off to the stash of trash i go...
thanks for peeking!
