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:

Martin Luther King, Jr. day Free Box
Pin It Now!
Martin Luther King, jr. was a huge advocate of freedom as I'm sure many of you know. When I came upon a couple of amazing finds today, I could feel that freedom today more so than others. And I just wanted to mention the amazing freedom I feel and share with other people who practice the free box philosophy.
Thank you!
I would also like to note that with the lack of rain Portland has received this January and the amount of sunny, albeit chilly, days I believe that it's been a record free boxing finding winter, at least for me.
As I was biking home from yoga this beautiful morning I came upon this free box and I almost couldn't contain my excitement. Here's why:
Totally creepy and adorable at the same time:) I absolutely love it.
Hearts,
Bece

Happy 2013!
Pin It Now!
So my b-day is actually January 1st. I decided to follow Cory's b-day idea and do as much free stuff as I could that would also be relaxing.
I went to free yoga at the Bhaktishop. Hooray!
Brandon and myself then biked downtown and I had a delicious raw meal at Prassad, free, courtesy of Brandon. What a sweet guy :)
I then went to Movie Madness to get a free b-day rental. Awesome!
And to top it off I scheduled my free sauna/soak at Common Ground Wellness Center, which was so relaxing!
Along our bike path to Prassad was this conceptual free box, which I had heard about and my friend sent me a pic, but I had personally never witnessed. It was pretty sweet. It's on the East Bank Esplanade. Somebody has spray painted a "free box" right in the middle of the path. Here's a photo:
I placed a copy of the zine on the free box and I am happy to report that when I biked home, it was gone :)
Also while biking home I came upon my first actual free box of 2013.
Happy Free Boxing ~

Happy New Year!
Pin It Now!
Well, I had a great year as far as free boxes go. I was a little lackadaisical about distributing the zine, but it got out there.
I couldn't help but notice that these past couple of sunny days people have been clearing out for 2013.
I spotted this yesterday:
I like the sign.
Today I spotted quite a few free boxes. I snagged a pair of shorts and a beautiful glass serving dish that will be perfect for my NYE party. Hooray!!! I decided not to take the Picasso print because I just loved the energy it was sending into the world.
I have to say I was very pleased in all of my travels this December in spotting free boxes where I least expected them. For example, I was in LA over X-mas cruising down Franklin heading to the Griffith Observatory when I spotted a bountiful free box. I was so shocked. I never imagined I would see a free box in LA. I didn't think that was LA's style. It just goes to show that free boxes truly are everywhere.
Happy New Year and may you have a bountiful 2013!!!!

December Free Box Travels
Pin It Now!
I just took a little backpacking trip up to Canada. I went via Amtrak and various ferries, one to Victoria and then one from Victoria to Vancouver.
I spent a day in Seattle so I could visit the Elles exhibit that is happening at the Seattle Art Museum right now. There's this great coffee shop about a block and a half from the Amtrak station called Zeitgeist. I highly recommend it. I had to stop in there for a little pick me up once I got off the train and what should I notice, but a little free library. I just happened to bring a few issues of Free Box the Magazine for just such occasions. Hooray!
I spent a few days in Vancouver, BC, which is a pretty cool place. Main Street at about Broadway up to 30th is definitely a fun street with all sorts of quirky shops and eating establishments and coffee shops. There was a SCRAP type store called Urban Resource, which is why I went up Main Street, but also there was this amazing gallery/antique store that was super cool called A Bakers Dozen Antiques. It was kind of like a crazy art museum. I highly recommend a peek.
At about 23rd and Main Street I happened upon an independent publishing bookstore called The Regional Assembly of Text. It had this little nook library where people could read zines so I left a copy for some free boxing Canadians to peruse and enjoy.
While trekking through Vancouver on an exceptionally rainy day I may have stumbled upon a free pile, but it was dark and I was drenched and cold and so was the free pile so I didn't investigate further. However, from what I saw and the vibe I got from Vancouver I'm sure there are free box treasures to be found!

Happy Buy Nothing Day!
Pin It Now!
This is the perfect holiday for Free Box the Magazine to endorse. In fact, just today my brother came back from his jog and said I have a free box present for you, which turned out to be a giant tv that I had to refuse. I have a little one that fits on an old typewriter table that I can roll in when I need to use it and keep it out of sight otherwise. It is, however, yet another example of why one should never buy a new tv.
Anyway, I am including this Buy Nothing Day link from Adbusters if you are interested in some of the work and events that are being done to celebrate this day and keep the buy nothing sentiment going through the holidaze.

Election 2012
Pin It Now!
As everyone knows the election is just days away on November 6th. I want to say that Free Box the Magazine holds no political views; just the facts, so here they are:
This was found at the Stehekin Mall: Fall sale - 2 for none. The Stehekin Mall is actually the dump, just so you know. Here is what was found:
Don't forget to VOTE!
