    I had a great picking day Sunday. My neighbor put out a redwood glider. We walked down to get it and my other neighbor had a metal Coleman cooler in the trash pile. They are used to me picking up goodies. Then I found 2 dressers along the road for 10 dollars each. I redo furniture for a shop and was so excited.

    We had a fireplace kinda like that in the 60's. Ours had cardboard flames and a light bulb that had a tiny plastic pinwheel that made the light flicker to look like flames. I also had that same sewing machine and it worked great and sewed a lot of clothes for my kids over the years.

    @carolgleeson8743 4 года назад

    Great find! In the early 90s my sister pulled a fake decorative fireplace out of the trash and painted it white and put it in her living room. I loved it, and told her if she ever got tired of it I wanted it. A year or so later, she was driving along and saw one lying face down on the curb for the trash pick up. She realized what it was because she recognized the back of it from painting hers! So she grabbed it for me! We both still have our fake fireplaces in our homes!

    I would have never would have guessed a cardboard fireplace in a million years. A Civil War diary, a bundle of Civil War letters, a Victorian photo album, a scrapbook, or a Revolutionary war uniform, maybe? I’ll keep hoping for a huge box of vintage Halloween.

    • @PaperandMoose
      @PaperandMoose  4 года назад +8

      Vintage Halloween is up there on the list! But yes, a simple cardboard fireplace. Sure, I could have spent $$ and found one on eBay, but there's something about finding it in the trash that makes it that much better!

I am so proud of you for just driving right up to the family. My trash picking experience (40 yrs) has been mostly positive and everytime that I interracted it became easier. Most people are very gracious and are delighted when you're extremely excited about your finds!!! What a SUPER FUN day you had...I can hardly wait to see what's in those 9 bags!!! Great video!

Ralph Lauren was around 90.00. Depends where you get it Macy’s or department stores that price discount places around 40.00. It is shocking the things that can find on the side of the road!!! I like 👍 doing that as well. That dresser was a cute fixer upper.

    Hi Renee! What a fun picking day. I've really enjoyed your unloading the trash bag videos. I 'm glad you picked up the sewing machine. I have the same one and still use it. My sister and I purchased it in 1971 and it has sewn many garments, doll clothes, stuffed animals... you name it and I've probably sewn it. It's heavy and durable. Much nicer than the more portable Singer I purchased about 10 years ago.

    Even if the sewing machine doesn't work, the pedals by themselves sell well on eBay. Grab them if you find them while picking. The pink barbie car you found the other day was a Chevy Bel Air. The pink ones are less common then the aqua ones and sell for a decent money when complete.

    What an awesome pick!! So happy you found your "holy Grail"!! Seems like I remember teachers using them when I was in grammer school. Love the sewing machine & that cool metal box!! Can't wait for you to do the bag reveals!! 💃💃💃
