Dumpster Diving
For the sheer joy. For the thril of discovery. Recently I had an opportunity to "dd" up the street, at the
1875 railroad inn at the corner of Werk and Ferguson. It was a broiling hot evening and let me tell you, being in an iron dumpster in the Cincinnati heat, well, it was really hot. But treasures I did find. Arrowheads, a little walnut drawer, a box full of really neat buttons, old curtains, a portable sewing machine, an orange wicker headboard, very hippie-ish, a neat old balloon woman. Lots of these finds are on my Etsy site. Today I went back and salvaged about 20 old shutters.
