    Default found on the side of the road

    I got 4 stackable fabric boxes! Perfect for my utility room or my sewing room. They were on the side of the road, upon inquiring with the owner at the home they were in front of, they just didn't "work" for her-so she threw them to the curb. I am in constant amazement of waste!

    My husband brought home a glass curio cabinet that someone was throwing away. It is small but prefect for our one corner.
