Last night I was taking some things we had decided to throw out from their room to the dumpster (Bobby usually does this, but he is out of town with a friend) and I couldn't believe what I saw. A cute little desk and a pretty white, wooden vanity tray were just laying on top. I left my trash and promptly brought both the desk and the vanity tray in the house. The legs of the desk were wobbly, but Mike easily tightened them up. The back of the vanity tray says "Shabby Chic" and "Target".
Now the girls have a cute place to do homework and write letters. They've both already written letters to Greg and Peter on their new desk. I put the vanity tray in my drawer in the bathroom. It fits perfectly and makes my drawer look so organized. I'm thrilled!
Maybe I shouldn't send Bobby out with the trash anymore. Who knows what I've been missing! :)

What a great find! You certainly can't beat free!
You can't beat that!!☺
Free is my favorite price too. What a beauty that desk is!!
I have to admit Im a dumpster diver (no I dont actually go in but thats what they call it!!) I have found great things, a small toddler swing set for my daughter and a bouncy pony toy among other things but my best find was a Philco refrigerator from the late 40s or early 50s in working condition. I sanded it and painted it and it is good as new, my pride and joy!!
What a beautiful desk. I got a free one from my landlord and I agree, you can't beat that price!
WOW! What a great find!
So cute!! What a great find, looks like it's in fabulous condition!! :)

Love it!
I can't believe someone was throwing that out...it's adorable! What a great find and at a great price too!
WOW!!! That is awesome! Even my husband was like 'wow...that is niiiiiice'...LOL... :-)
We go 'junking' as well. Not that often as we would like though. We'll just drive around sometimes before trash day and see if there is anything we can't live without. It's fun. :)
You got a good deal! Praise the Lord!
Blessings,

Hard to believe someone threw out that cute desk. Good for you for finding it. We sometimes find great stuff by the side of the road the night before garbage pickup. We have left things out by the curb, too, and have been happy when they disappeared! A fun, free little economy.
