Household Hints & Help

My friend has a business down from their house with a dumpster and you would not believe the things people sneak into the dumpster. She has found bags of nice clothes, a mirror (so nice she put it up in her bathroom in place of the one that is there), small pieces of furniture. When my children were small we lived on a street with an alley and I found unbelievable goodie one day when family was emptying out after the older lady who lived there died. I was estatic. Got tons of antique hand sewn baby clothes, little dresses with the tucks and embroidery and matching slips, kimono's etc. (which my three daughters wore), very nice kitchen utencils etc. It is strange what some people consider garbage. My sister and I have pulled over on "garbage day" and pulled some cool fines into the car I try to reuse things, so much more environmentally correct. And I also wear my clothes to threads, so a find like yours would be great! Enjoy.
