If I want it, I keep it... if not it goes to the curb for someone else to pick up.<br />That overflowing van of Rose's? Yep, I'm her phone buddy. I can usually tell when she spies something... she usually starts muttering, and then breathing hard... LOL She gets downright giddy when she finds something. I'm a little worried about a lamp she picked up last week. She described it to me... while she was trying to find a great place to hide it at home. I was like okaayyy. Haven't seen it yet.<br />Anyhow, Rose mentioned you the other day, so I thought I'd hop over to say "hi".<br />Great score on the sofas... my daughter has been on the hunt for a great vintage couch.<br />gailgail@My Repurposed Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169865526245609703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391691472847407028.post-11120105524669474452012-04-16T23:38:08.534-05:002012-04-16T23:38:08.534-05:00So funny, Vickie!

Looks like you have been doing a far share of shopping. <br /><br />Did you ever do anything with that medicine cabinet?? <br /><br />Anyhoo. Don't know when I am going to post again. We close on the new house in 1 week, move a week later and my camera is in the shop with the loner camera broken too. :( The Homeless Finch is a little out of commission I'd say. <br /><br />Had fun reading you stuff. I would KILL for a source like you have for the stained glass windows. Nothing like that around my place.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558649923750184739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391691472847407028.post-91086176406565574742012-04-15T17:11:00.399-05:002012-04-15T17:11:00.399-05:00you had me going for a minute!! love the part abou...you had me going for a minute!! love the part about the breakfast mouse...eeeuwwwwDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391691472847407028.post-74966698734497689202012-04-15T16:18:22.595-05:002012-04-15T16:18:22.595-05:00No. I don't usually find good stuff by the cur...No. I don't usually find good stuff by the curb either.

You totally got me worrying about what might be in those cushions!<br />Now I've been known to grab cushions off roadside couches, but only in better neighborhoods and they have to pass the smell test first. The larger ones make great dog beds. (and you know I need a lot of those with my naughty pack)<br />Did you say 50 sock monkeys? hmmm, we may just have a deal.......Rose @ Confessions of a Curbshopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937964580748244670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391691472847407028.post-18662448514972679212012-04-13T20:31:49.105-05:002012-04-13T20:31:49.105-05:00I just watched an episode of The Big Bang Theory t...I just watched an episode of The Big Bang Theory the other day where Penny found a chair on the curb and it ended up having a rat in it.
