My Cleanup Week Find

If you live in the Fargo Moorhead area, I'm sure you're aware of the city Cleanup week that's taking place this week. Residents of Fargo Moorhead pile their junk, scrap and unwanted furniture, electronics and more on their curb and the city hauls it away at no extra charge. I've been watching one of my neighbors in particular pile more and more out on the curb, and people just keep driving by and taking what works for them. I love it!

In any case, we decided to take a little family drive up and down some neighborhood streets tonight. After the sun came out, it was gorgeous, wasn't it? In any case I wanted to show you all that it's not just junk sitting out on the curb!


I'm so excited about my new adirondack chair!  You can't see it in the picture, but there is a slat that will need to be replaced on the back, but overall a great find for FREE!  This will be perfect for our first summer with a backyard! 

I've been needing some storage in my laundry area, so last night I picked up a small metal shelving unit that I'm hoping will work just fine. We also picked up a little desk last week that I'll use in my craft space.  I wasn't sure about the desk, but decided that if it doesn't work for me, I could always sell it in my annual garage sale.

Has anyone else found any treasures sitting on the curb this week?  For more info on cleanup week, go here.
