Herself has been at it again!This lovely porcelain planter was salvaged by Miss Eagle from the hard rubbish. Oh, dear Reader, how wasteful and unimaginative people can be! Herself has planted some ivy along with a re-shaped wire coat-hanger. One day, each of us hopes, it will be a pretty heart-shaped ivy in an elegant planter.

An excellent Hard Rubbish Treasure!
I am often amazed at what good things can be had for the looking.
Only LAST NIGHT in a Richmond street off Swan St, my daughter whose baby is due in june, was driving home from work and saw a woman put out a Very Good baby cot, with spotless, As New mattress and sheepskin cover, and beautiful embroidered sheets hardly used.
Of course she screeched to a halt and got the lot. he told me the woman was obviously wealthy from the look of her house and car, but was also very nice and offered even more bedding from inside.
God was watching us, that's for sure.
Next week the Brighton area has it's hard rubbish drive, so stay tuned for developments and discoveries - last time we got a huge box of antique christmas ornaments.
I do hope your health improves soon - laugh a lot and look at beautiful things, do not watch or read The News.
Peace and love ...
Get away with you! How wonderful. My best find was a roll top desk. An unpainted pine one in as new condition. Herself painted it up beautifully and sold it! It would be easy to condemn the woman who put out the stuff as wasteful but I don't think she was. I think she was generous. She realised that only someone who had need of the cot would take it. Her generosity of spirit was rewarded and your sister as well by the timely meeting. A beautiful story! Now Upper Gully is a bit of a step from Brighton but Miss Eagle hasn't had coffee at the North Road Pavilion since the Mother's Day before last. I think it is worth a look! When you say next week, do you mean this coming week starting to-morrow or perhaps people will starting putting out towards the end of this week for the following week? Wait till I tell Herself!
