Some of my trash picking treasures

[Niagara]

I want to be clear, I inspect everything carefully before I bring it home. Once at night time, I found two separate and spectacular artwork in elaborate photo frames, like one would see at an antique shop. I only had my flashlight on my phone and so I couldn't look for "critters" as it was too dark outside. I decided to come back in the morning and when I did the prints with the elaborate photo frames had already been picked. So someone else was able to save these prints and photo frames.


I once had a client that was unable to cook and cut her own food. She lived in an exorbitant neighborhood. A neighbor of my client threw away 4 of these dining room chairs from Raymour and Flanigan Furniture Store. I sat in each of them and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the legs or chairs themselves. I looked them over and they just needed cleaning.






Someone threw away this rattan/wicker accent table.





In the corner is a wrought iron folding corner shelf. It was waiting to be thrown in the landfill, absolutely nothing wrong with it. I almost got ran over by 2 separate vehicles and I smashed my pinky finger loading it. I didn't even swear when I smashed my pinky finger! lol





Someone threw away this feline and I gave him a home. He was the most affectionate and hungry fellow that I've ever known! Everyone misses you, Bermuda.





Someone threw away these plates. I ended up giving them away to someone who needed them.




Someone threw away this plastic bench. I came across it at night and I thought it was wrought iron at first. They don't make that kind of details in plastic outdoor furniture anymore. It cleaned up well!








Someone threw away this plastic exterior pillar. That's just freshly mowed grass and or whacked weeds that ended up on it.




Someone threw away a teapot, creamer and sugar set. I just recently donated these items since I really didn't have the room for them.






These Mid Century Modern hexagon tables (I got 2) I didn't exactly garbage pick but I did manage to rescue them and repurpose them in my home. On top from left to right is a horse book end, a drink of tea and in the wooden box is my deceased feline Bermuda.
