Hello, My Name is Meredith, and I Really Like Getting Things Out of the Trash...

I have to admit, I love finding a good bargain anywhere, and I am not above hauling something out of someone's elses trash! In fact, I really enjoy it, to be honest! I think the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure" is SO true! This morning, I hauled home this slide on my walk, which made me think of other things that I have "dumpster dived" for.... I thought I would share them with you!

Myla loves her new slide...I am not kidding when I say she has gone down it no less that 100 times this morning! I don't think she cares that it was in someone else's trash...
Last summer, I got these two goodies in someone else's trash...a Jeep umbrella stroller and a practically brand new Fisher Price potty chair. I took this picture knowing one day I would need it!

I also got this painting, which now hangs in my bathroom out of the trash of someone who was moving. I think Michael wash a little embarassed when I hauled it home while we were walking! I think he was a little less embarassed when we later looked out and someone had stopped at the same house backed in with their trunk open loading up stuff!!! Hey, they were throwing it away!

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the 5x7 oriental rug that I got last summer for my brother! It was beautiful!!!!

Any other "trashy" people out there????
