The only embarrassing moment was when a neighbor drove by and beeped her horn at us digging through the junk.
*and to set Emily's mind at ease....I NEVER dive for trash, I very carefully pick through it. Very sanitary.
There was this awesome picnic basket in perfect shape. Can't wait to use it this summer.
These bread baskets will come in handy! 
And I love these colorful hot plates.
This 70's wood burning set has all the parts. So retro and cool. This is all just great stuff!!

Wow!! Amazing what you can find in the trash. My dad used to wood burn and I wish he still did. He was so good at it.
Congrats on becoming a Grandma again!!!!
You are so funny.
I have some hot pads just like that - they were my moms from the 70s -
Great fun.

Wow! Great finds. Makes me want to start being more observant as I pass the neighbors' trash.
I saw that basket the other day, but didn't have the guts to stop! More power to ya! And my wood burner died recently. Maybe because use it for other things other than wood burning. Ok, ok, it's enameling to be specific. At least I said what it is, and didn't leave you to wonder if I was secretly tatooing people or something. heehee
We used to have a wood burning set! That was so fun. The other things are great too.
I love picnic baskets too! They are soooo handy. Like your new haircut too. I recently had a hair whacking fit as well.
Can I come over and play with your woodburning kit?!?!
good job! i finally got my husband to take something out of someones trash. (i meant to blog about it)
why they put it out? my neighbors put stuff out and get mad if I don't take it before the trash men come... sometimes it is not worth taking...lol

Great finds! Our neighborhood has bulk trash day at the first of the month, and people throw out the most amazing stuff. I don't take it all, but I've picked up some stuff -- a bookshelf, a table, a folding craft table, outdoor toys, etc. It's crazy what people will just throw out!
