For others from others Week 7

Well today is Tuesday..I have found that I have too much on my plate if I try to write the blog on Mondays so I will give Tuesdays a shot. You probably think what is there that keeps her so busy with curb side treasure? Well I have to sort the good bad and the ugly -I think I hear my Mom's ring tone. But after sorting everything I need to put all the undesirable things back in bags and in the can, so trust me if its on my curb its no good!
































Bags and piles of clothes, also wash these so they are fresh and clean. But I have to tell you that I was not born in the south or grew up on frog's legs but I almost had toasted toady. I was loading the washer and went to inspect a jacket that I was putting in there and a toad popped out of the sleeve and scared the crap out of me. Had all those steps not been taken he would have been a toasted toad for sure.But I do know that it was his/her revenge upon me because I found a fish tank last week and I filled it up to see if it would leak and "Toady" was hanging out on the patio and I put it in the tank for a swim and laughed as the bubbles came from its butt as it was swimming. So when it hopped out of the sleeve and I took it outside it peed on me I know that I have just been "revenged", now I will get warts.























This is a really nice sturdy chair that just needs to be retouched with Oak stain






















A Wine rack that needs some TLC and stain to be good again



















This was a really nice dresser mirror and it broke in the car going over speed bumps. We both looked at each other when we heard a very loud snap/crack noise. I think that we are in the clear for 7 years bad luck because we were not actually holding it when it broke. Then the next day a black cat crossed our path while we were driving hummmm I checked though and there is no full moon and its not Friday the 13th So I say we are all good.















Now that I have made the tent on wheels its only appropriate that I have Meals on wheels. Camping meals that is.There is also a foot bath with massage for after I am done dragging everything around.

















and now for the table of odds and ends ...no odds and evens. Which ever way you look at it it all needs to be cleaned and packed up.

So until you see this again I am your host with the most? Have a good night!

For others from others Week 6

I am running a bit behind this week as I found a lot that needed to be cleaned and ready to go Goodwill. On top of a few other projects that I have added to my plate this week. I am starting to go through my own house and ridding my self of things that are just collecting dust and may do someone else some good!






















I found this pillar on the curb in need of some desperate TLC Well after all the gluing and puzzle working to get it back to looking normal I turned the base over and saw that it came from Big Lots for 10 Bucks I thought to myself OK I just wasted my time for that. So the only thing I though I could do with it was put my husband on this pedestal because he treats me so well.























Things are going to get steamy around here with this steam cleaner I found. Well its not the light and elite and feels like I am dragging around a boulder, but after fixing it I can not complain at free. The water hose would not work and I found that the seal was broken so I super glued that then fixed a couple of chew marks in the water hose it was ready to soak anything in its path.I like this also because it has an upholstery attachment and Our dogs love to get on the couch and be with us while we watch TV.























A Little Tykes Dune Buggy. Well good thing we live next to the beach but the Dunes are protected here so it will be a Sand Buggy. Even has a front compartment for the wallet and cell phone. You know kids these days have to have their own phones and bank accounts.






















Here is a baby gate, or dog gate or maybe my Husband has a better idea with it to gate me in the car so I can not get things from the curb. I can see him now driving slowly past garage sales and treasures on the curb taunting me and I wont be able to even get my arm out of the car I would just look at the things like a caged animal at the zoo.
There is also a Rusty Wallace Stadium seat cushion, that can also be used as a fan type banner. Then a mop for my patio.


















Here is a scooter my husband who is much younger than me was scooting around the cul-de-sac and he admitted that he was becoming addicted to it. I on the other hand got on it and tried imagining myself like Sara Jessica Parker as "Carrie" in Sex in the City Season 3 "Hot Child in the City" where she was "Scooting in Heels" I couldn't even scoot on one foot. So Sara Jessica gets accolades from me, you go shoe girl!

















Well I am starting to loose all my hearing from a head trauma that I had in the past, I was not the rocker type who had to listen to loud music at all hours of the day I didn't work in a factory etc. But I am slowly going deeeef, and these speakers have helped bring in some added audio to my movie watching. That is a favorite thing to do and I feel for the ones that have to rely solely on subtitle, I have had to use it over the past few weeks when I noticed that I am having a hard time with understanding speech. I turned on the subtitle and notice that even with this they are cutting out words and phrases that the characters are saying. Either they are censoring what we read, another form of mind control in my book, "Oh they won't miss a few words they can't hear it anyway" or they typist is being lazy. We have lost a quality of life as it is don't deprive us of other things too.























Here fishy-fishy-fishy I found a nice fish tank and stand on the side of the road. I thought of maybe using it for a terrarium as we have a wild Gecko that my Husband named George after the late great George Carlin. He watches over our storage/shop off the car port. I went in the other day and George jumped on my shoe and would not get off I think he was trying to defend his territory, but he is not as mean as he would like to think he is as I went in the shop for some other things and saw him there and he let me pet him under his chin.No terrarium for George though.























He's a Pin Ball Wizard well he thinks he is . This is a little tykes Pinball machine. It needed to be cleaned and we have to find a power cord for it so it will light up and make all sorts of noise. Bing-Bing-Ting

















This is probably the best find of the week. It is a 5 Disk DVD/CD changer. Now I can watch Smallville before bed and then flip the disk to listen to rain while I am sleeping. All with out having to change out disks or getting out of my comfy spot in bed. Yes it works great!

















Here is a Radio Flyer Bouncy. Well the only thing that was about to fly on this was me- hinney 1st onto the pavement if the bungees broke. Yes I had to take it for a test drive its the silly little kid in me or maybe just the silly part. Damn those Toys R Us commercials!

Well I hope everyone has a great week..until next time this is your host bringing you the most? ...Good Night!

From others for others week 5

This week we expanded our search for treasure by printing a trash pickup schedule. I got into a tiff with my husband because sometimes we are not on the same page, before we had left the house I told him what direction we were going and that we were going to start at all the complexes on the right then comeback around. Well he was on the phone with his mother and after passing up two complexes I got a little loud to get his attention. He tells me that he is not supposed to be clairvoyant as to where I wanted to go, and in my mind I made the plan simple. I know he does not really like driving around "Treasure Hunting" and I do, plus I have saved the family a lot of money as most items in the house were found treasures.So I am at a loss for how to really handle this I have asked for his input and he doesn't really have any.I would drive my self but I am hard of hearing so I don't want to be on the side of the road or searching around dumpsters when I can not hear something coming up on me. Also too much driving aggravates my wrist and then I get really grouchy because then I am in a lot of pain.
In light of it all I did find a lot of things out there to load the car up with. We found a very nice wicker dresser but the car is too small for it,so we are maybe thinking about getting a hitch and a small utility trailer to haul things around in. This house I stopped at had so much stuff out there and the car was just packed I started thinking I might need a theme song. (Copy and Paste)Listen here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WqazleR3FE

On with the show!




























I found these three cute 3D Plates at a yard sale for $5.00 that was a bargain, I looked on line and plates made by the same company are selling similarly for $12-$15 each. I am still debating at this time if I want to sell them on ebay or at the flea market.


















Someone will see this pile and think trash, I see it as treasure! At the time the picture was taken I had not been in the bags to see what really lurks in there but to my surprise it was a endless mountain of clothes...so I had a song going through my head "on top of old smokie"





















Here is a baby car seat with a leveling device on it. I really wonder do babies need to be level in a car? Maybe that is what some marketing genius came up with to make your child "Level headed" when it grows up? "Hey Bob you know what is the matter with people today,they are just not level headed anymore,lets invent something that will help cure this at a early stage"
There was also a boob tube with a VCR the TV worked but not the VCR. Speaking of boob..going through that pile of clothes I saw a bra in there that could cover the entire TV and you would not know it was there! Well my husband did say that he wanted a hammock in the back yard...hummmm.



















Surfs Up! I found these on the curb nothing seems to be wrong with them so now there is one for my hubby and one for me we can go to the beach and catch some mini waves. Maybe I will teach the dogs to boogie board. I can hear my mom now...but there is jelly fish in the water you have already been stung once this year.While this is true you can't stop living on the account of some rogue jelly fish out there that has it out for the human snack.




























This was electrifying as I found all of these electronics out there. The only one that I can verify that works is the phone. I looked through the database and ET was not trying to call home, that is because there is no service poor ET can't call home :( but there is some free games on there that will help waste some time while waiting at appointments.

Well I have been here about 10 Min into may favorite show "Cash in the Attic" so I need to get going for now see everyone next week!

For others from others Week 4

Well this has been an exciting and busy week in the treasure game! I know that there are women out there who prefer Fine Dinning, Tiffany jewelry, and Blooming Dales. I on the other hand am a strange one indeed...take me to the nearest dumpster or a stroll around the block on trash day and I am a happy gal. My husband loves to see me happy so I know I have a good man, on the other hand I could be like some of the wallet sucking Barbies out there who demand nothing but the best and still want more. My husband see's these leaches on TV and says to me on occasion " I am glad you are not like that". I didn't grow up on the wrong side of the tracks or poor,my Mother and Father(Step-dad) made sure and worked hard to provide me and my brothers with all the necessities to make it through life. We may have not got all the "Wants" but we never went with out the "Needs". My mother has told me once that some where in our ancestral line that we had a Great-Great (ohh who knows how many I would exceed my text allowance trying to figure out all the "Greats" in there) Grand Father who went in search of the west. Maybe that is where I get treasure hunting and exploration from. I don't have the liberty to up root my Family and trek to parts unknown in search of "Gold" or "New Land" so I take what I can get from where I am at. OK enough with the blah-blah-blah I know you all are just here for the picture's because..they are worth a thousand words and it saves me from typing!
















OK this is a pile of ???? Stuff! Well after sorting through it all I found toys and cloths in the box and one of the Sweaters is brand new with the tags for $55.00 on it from Macy's but unfortunately the nearest Macy's is over 1 Hr away. Not really worth the trip to try and get a return. There is also a baby play yard that took me forever to get folded up. Do they offer this type of instructional training when your expecting a child? I was about ready to just throw it in a pile and say OK if they buy it from Goodwill they must know what they are doing with it. But I wrestled more with it figuring if a woman with a jittery,screaming baby on her hip can do it so can I!
















CUT!Here is a wee tikes directors chair. Well I suppose since its small and they don't know all the bad words yet maybe its a studio censorship chair. The only words that are good for them at this stage is Mommy, Daddy and Food.Hummm that sounds almost like the only words that the censors really want us to hear as well.
















Buckle up, hand on its going to be a bumpy ride...Take it away Ernie!
Here is also a Sponge Bob Square Pants step stool, and a visual and noise maker for babies as they are laying on there backs and have only learned to use their arms and eyes. I don't know knowing what I know now if I was looking up at that thing and it appeared as if it were staring at me and may fall on me I would want more than my arms to push it away. See these babies aren't dumb as they seem they keep trying to push it away and it keeps coming back. These weirdos from the toy makers think ohhh they like it they are laughing. I would laugh too with all that gas in my belly and having to go every 20 min. Sorry sir that is not a grin its a bowl movement.
















This was a Treasure Chest for me, well it came in the form of a black plastic bag and I had no clue what was in there alive or dead but I emptied it out and all this fell out. I have Life Magazines from 1997 and other collectible paper items. I found travel guides in there, I may not be able to see all these places that my ancestors may have past through be I can visualize!

















A Seattle Filmworks Photography Book. I like to take pictures and I have some for sale as down load to use for printing needs at a $1.00 http://www.artfire.com/users/Nightowlcrafts.


























This is a set of three canisters, I think it is supposed to be a set of four, But they were grimy with grease and ick but a good soak and scrub made them worth the use for some one else. Yes I did sift through the flour that was in the tall one to see if Granny hid her diamonds in there, no such luck though :(
