Whenever I see things on the curb, I just cannot resist taking a quick look! I've gotten a number of nice things this way.
As I was walking the dog on Trash Day this week, I noticed this picnic basket by the curb. So cute...but it was a little broken on one side. I thought about whether or not I should pick up something that was damaged while we continued our walk and by the time I got back to it, I picked it up and carried it home with me.
I set it on my front porch, the broken side to the wall so we can't see it, covered it with an extra kitchen towel I had and placed a plant on top. The inside is a great storage place for the kids' outdoor toys such as bubbles, sidewalk chalk, bag of sand toys and small balls.
I love trash picking! :-)

that is so cute and useful!
I used to trash pick, but our town switched to great big trash cans that get dumped once a week by automated trucks. So, everything goes in the big cans or does not get picked up.
The neighborhood looks neater on trash day but I do miss the trash picking.
you will just have to pick enough for both of us, OK?
It looks really cute and you can never have enough storage space!
What a fabulous idea. I love the multi-purpose stuff it can do. Looks great and who knew it was hiding stuff inside - other then what it was intended for.
