Trash Treasure

This one I learned from my father- there is nothing wrong with doing a little trash digging. I pity the person who avoids picking up perfectly usable or interesting items just because a stranger has deemed them trash.

Countless things in our home have been acquired this way, including this antique birdcage I pulled from someone's trash near my office this afternoon.

One more thing old and charming has avoided the landfill for an opportunity to be treasured again.
