Fall is Upon Us...almost

Pin It Now!
It's the last day of September and the rain is upon us.  The free box season will be winding down soon, but do you remember how amazing and beautiful Sunday was?  I found a box of candles that day, which I am going to use for my Day of  the Dead party:

But the real winner for September's photo was this adorable set of kiddy kitchen play toys, also very colorful:

I happened upon this amazing scene today and it made my heart smile.

It's by the Fred Meyer Corporate Headquarters in SE off of Powell and 21st if anyone is interested.

That reminds me.  I am starting to work on Issue 14 entitled Free Box the Miracle, so if any of you amazing free boxers have a miracle find (whatever that means to you) or free box story you would like to share, please email it to:  freeboxthezine@gmail.com

You  can send pics, a sketch, a short story, you name it and I will love it!

Free Box Photo for May

Pin It Now!

Summer is almost here!  Portland has had a few super warm weekends where the free boxes were popping out like daisies.  It was wonderful.
This one, I think, deserves to be the free box photo of the month.  Two reasons:  1) This bin was full of these ceramic shells? and there were so many of them.  2) I have know idea what they were used for, but it was awesome that somebody was willing to share!
enjoy~

I know it's early in the month, but I have missed a few.  Here you go:

Isn't this amazing?  A kiddo's dresser.  I love how it says Good Nite Fuel Co., so cute.  This must have been made or purchased a while ago considering the gallon price, definitely not today's prices.  What a simpler time when gasoline wasn't demonized, at least not in Portland.  Of course I saw this amazing artifact when I was riding my bicycle :)

So it's been a while, but it's summer (finally) and I find myself spending less time at the computer and more time maximizing the awesome weather.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and finding lot's of treasures.  I came upon this one yesterday and decided it was the quintessential July/summer photo:

Pin It Now! If I've said it once, I've said it a million times:  Don't buy a tv.  You can find a free one on the street.  Well, today you could have picked up two tvs for the price of one:  FREE!
