Free Box Furniture Weekend

Pin It Now!

This past weekend was beautiful and I couldn't help but notice that Portlanders decided to take advantage of the sunshine and clean out some cobwebs, mainly in the form of furniture. 
Brandon and myself found this free pile just a block down the road from our residence in SE:


Later that evening Brandon went for a jog and came home with a lovely wicker chair:


He decided to temporarily use it for his office chair, but now it's in its rightful location out on the porch and I have to say I love it because we were in desperate need of a chair for the porch.

On Sundays I've been trying to go for long walks.  I was just outside Laurelhurst Park when I saw a woman thoroughly examine a very nice bookshelf, which she then determined was worth having a loaded it up in her car.

Much later in my walk I came upon this somewhat shiny, yet forlorn looking rocking chair on a corner just down the road from People's Coop.


I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and perhaps acquired a new piece of furniture!

Issue 12, Collections

Pin It Now!

Yes, Issue 12 is finished and ready for distribution.  It is entitled "Collections" because it features collections of items found in one free box, like the box of tiles I saw today, or found over the years in many free boxes and it has now turned into your very own personal collection.

I hope one finds a free box near you!

Greetings From Free Box the Magazine

Pin It Now!

I saved this postcard from a somewhat damp free box I came across this morning.  I think the moisture was just from fog and dew, but perhaps rain.  You never know.  Anyway, I thought it was too groovy to pass up.  I will let you decide:
