When a house in our Subdivision on our Road was being cleaned out by Contractors because the Home was Foreclosed on we were told we could have anything we saw that we wanted before they put the home back on the market to be sold!!

We were able to get an almost brand new Child Size Recliner for DD!! We were able to get good potting soil to use for our plants!!
We were able to get a good homemade post hole digger to use!!
We were able to get a good bench for our front porch or for our yard to sit on and relax!!
We were able to get 5 folding chairs to use in the house as well as outside the house!! :) We were also able to get DD a sit-spin toy from that house as well!! :)

On another note a neighbor of our's was getting rid of a pefectly good Computer desk and he asked us if we wanted it!!
We got the computer desk and are now using it as a desk in our Office/HomeSchool Room!! :)
That is the good roadside finds so far that we have found!!
We live out in the country so we don't live near alot of good roadside finds or good yardsales!!

Hey this happened to us recently ... we got to look through some abandoned stuff and got some REALLY cool stuff. Like: an antique floor lamp (missing one globe), an antique hook neck lamp with a cool tiffany type shade, a very old print from a well known 19th century artist (matted and very nicely framed!), lots and lots of bric a brac....ooooohhhh what fun is that? I know how thrilled you were CAGmomof2....! I feel your JOY!
