Free Box Finds 10/16
Pin It Now!
What a beautiful day for free boxes, and large ones at that.
First I came upon this beauty:
I did not take it. It is on the corner of NE 11th and Hancock for anyone who is interested.
Then I stumbled up this free pile:
The brown cabinet is actually a sewing table. I grabbed that, of course, although it proved to pretty tricky putting it in the trunk of my Volvo by myself. However, as the saying goes: where there's a will, there's a way, and I got 'er done.
I did need some help getting it in my house when I got home and my friend, Jennifer, came over to help out.
Here she is displaying some of the contents of the sewing table, Vanna style.
We then topped off this beautiful day with a seriously fun hula hooping session.

Free Box photo of the week and other interesting finds
Pin It Now!
I would like to present to all those free boxers out there the free "box" photo of the week:
After I took this photo, I biked ten blocks down the road and had to make a u-turn to check this out:
Yes, it is a broken chair, but notice the bird attached to it? Well, I decided I needed this bird for my potential Halloween costume, and I also decided I needed to add it to my bicycle basket right then and there. As I approached the fake bird I was taken aback a bit because it kind of looked real. I mean the eyes were definitely not real, but I think the feathers are actually from a real bird; they appear to be glued onto some sort of Styrofoam body. When I saw the Styrofoam I knew that the bird itself was fake, so I disrupted the few bugs that were checking out its feathers and snatched it up for my bicycle. I then rewired it to my bicycle.
Now everyone I meet can enjoy this bird so lovingly nestled amongst the fake orchids that adorn my basket. I think it breaks up the cuteness of my bike a bit by adding a touch of creepiness, and don't worry the bugs are gone. They weren't permanent inhabitants, just enjoying its feathers on a warm, sunny afternoon.
I was out kind of late last night and riding home in the rain. I had brought rain gear because I knew the rain was inevitable so the ride was actually pretty enjoyable. When I was about 12 blocks from home I found this bouquet of flowers up for grabs. They were resting on a lamp post just waiting for someone to take them home. The coolest part is they pretty nearly match the fake flowers that I have on my basket.
I have to say that yesterday was a pretty good free box day, and all of these free box events occurred on SE Yamhill. Strange.

Okay. So I thought I had found the free box item of the day --
-- a patchwork wolf, but then I found this:
and here is the loot --
Don't worry, I left some things. If you want to check it out it is located at about SE 42nd and Yamhill.
Happy Freeboxing!
