Trash pickin' and a-grinnin'

It's time for this week's installment of "What Did Heidi Dig out of Someone's Trash Pile?" Today's featured junk is:
Flowerpots!!

I was on the way to an appointment this morning when I saw these in a neighbor's trash pile. I turned around and loaded them up in the back of my car without a second thought. It drives me crazy that someone would throw away perfectly good pots like these! They may not be the style I would choose to buy but for FREE, guess what will be holding my herb garden this year?

Don't forget to enter this week's giveaway by leaving a comment on this post. I've received comments from so many new people--thanks for un-lurking! :) I love to meet new blog friends.

  1. Good finds! I agree, I cringe to see people chuck stuff. I think iabout the price some charity would get for it at the thrift and of course the joy finding a steal would bring a potential thrifter!

  8. Ahhh...life is good in this throw-away society called America...my Grandson was accustomed to hiding in the back seat as I whipped over to the curb to that delectable heap.

  12. Hey Fellow LuRay Lover! Its is so great to have "met" a LuRay fan...I'm usually so alone in my passion for collecting it around here locally.

    I would have never thought of the red and the pink but oh how neat that would be ...esp. for Valentine's day!

    Thanks for sharing!

  14. Ooo very nice. They will be lovely filled with herbs!

    I thought my husband would die when I dragged in a shelf the neighbor had out for garbage! But here we are 3 years later and that little metal shelf is still doing duty in the laundry room!
