Free Box Photo for December

Pin It Now!

So the photo for December is a t-shirt that I found in a free box, of course, that I gave to my nephew for X-Mas.  He looks pretty cute in it, I think.

Happy New Year!!! and may the free boxes be as bountiful as ever in 2012.

X-mas Free Boxes

Pin It Now! I've seen x-mas related free boxes all over Portland since we've had quite a dry spell.
Here is a photo of a box I came across.  Almost all the goodies were gone, but I liked the labeling.  It makes it even more enticing to stop and check it out.

A few weeks ago I came across a bag full of holiday wrapping paper and just the other night I grabbed a bunch of tinsel garland that I am using in a new ornament project!  Pretty sweet.
I hope all you free box fans out there have been finding some good stuff!

Happy Holidays!

Free Box Gift

So my friend Keri found 20 sugar dispensers in a free box.  She grabbed them all up and made candles out of them with recycled wax she got at SCRAP.
It just so happens I received one as a gift and I love it!

Unique, Creative DIY gift, Love it!

  

Merry X-Mas!

So Portland has gone for one week, at least, without rain.  Well, guess what that means?  Winter Free Boxes!  That doesn't happen very often in Portland and so this past week I have been spotting some pretty nice free boxes out there.
As a side note I got a new camera today! and just in time since I happened upon this holiday themed free box only a few hours after getting the camera:

Actually, earlier today I saw a man pull up to the curb, jump out of his car and investigate a Christmas light snowman that was in the box.  I am pretty sure he grabbed.
I hope all you amazing freeboxers are finding some wonderful scores.

Welcome Free Box the Zine's Zion Correspondent

So I have never been to Zion National Park, but judging from the photos I've seen it looks beautiful.

 A few weeks ago I met this amazing woman named Carrie Sue who lives and works for Zion National Park and she told me something really cool.  There's a park free box where people who are leaving the park leave the items they no longer need for others to partake in.  I don't know the details.  I know that you can often get bottles of olive oil; pretty sweet.  Now, I really have to go check out the wonders of Zion National Park.

I would also like to add that Carrie Sue was very excited about the zine and she took the whole collection, issues 1-9, to put in the Springdale Library where she lives.  She is going to keep us posted on amazing Zion and Utah free box finds.
Oh, what beauty the world beholds!

P.S. - My camera bit the dust and so I was borrowing one, hence the blurry photo.  I am getting a new camera tomorrow!
