HOLY CRAP...LOOK WHAT I FOUND & The 12 Indian Days of Christmas

Each day I drive around. It's part of my job.
I visit your house. It's part of my job.
If I tell you, you need to spend money. You need to spend the money.
But trust me. If you don't need it I don't offer it.
I am the sales person you want at your house.

But enough about that.

So in my driving, I see estate sales (wayyyyy over priced...read retail). 

I see garage sales, but I rarely stop as I usually don't have cash on me. 

And sometimes I totally luck out and find on the curb some cool stuff.

You know the best part of curb shopping? No money required.

You just need to be able to hide your exuberance when you find this.

American Tourister Luggage $129

Completely intact. 

I think! 

I haven't opened it yet.

 I'm kinda scared! 

It wasn't heavy enough to contain a body or body parts. 

But it may contain creepy crawlies. 

So it will reside outside in a black trash bag to freeze and heat up to kill any creepy crawlies. 

And who knows....maybe, just maybe I will find some forgotten cash in a pocket. 

Hey! I'm an optimist!

But the best item I found that same day, in that same trash pile grouping of unwanted household items, 

I found this!

Hyde Park brass lamp $350-400

HOLY WOW!!! 

Now, mine is missing the lamp shade. 

But, who cares? 

And it will need to be rewired. 

But, who cares?

So for a little bit of cursing and some cleaning, I will own a very cool lamp!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

ENJOY!!
