I hate shopping.
Okay except fabric stores when I have money and wool shops ( out of desire).
But in general I hate shopping. It is a task.
Today I was driving from point A to B and on the side of the road ( dirt farm road) was a sign.....Everything Free.
I stopped the car to take a look. And there were finds!
Wicker planter with black plastic liner. I know these are $16.99 at the grocery store, as I spied ( liked) them last week. This one is a little bent out of shape, so I shall soak it and re-shape it.
Oil lamp. Oh what is Dearest going to say........" another one!" I have a large collection of historical ones. This one is a 1928 American made base and a newer ( 1940's) metal wick threader ( Canadian). The chimney is newer from Home Hardware, but it screamed to me. Perfect for the toddlers room, for those, what if the power goes out moment. I shall dye the oil pink. There!!!
The oil painting is an original from Keirstead a Canadian painter from Kingston, Ontario. It is called Poppy Garden and I know for a fact is worth some money. However skip the value, I like it. Just haven't figured out where to put it yet.
I must admit. I like road side shopping.

We call it garage sales here in my town...and yes, they are quite fun. The boots look great - quite useful ;)

I would think they did have a garage sale and these are the remains. There was a whole pile at the end of the laneway. Lots of horse stuff. I'm not into that.
Wow, amazing finds! Best way to shop.
The painting and lamp are my favourites. You did well!

I have just recently discovered road side shopping and am now wondering why I have never discovered this before. It is so much fun!
