Trash to Treasure

Monday 
Trash to Treasure.
I get so excited when I find something thrown out...
along some one's curb!
To them, it no longer holds a purpose...
To me, I see a very useful item 
to hold my art supplies.
A wooden tool box
(before)



(after)
I really enjoyed giving this tool box
 new life & a new home...
for years to come!
And to think...
this was thrown away.
 One man's trash... is one woman's treasure!!
Keep your eyes open...
you never know what you might find.
Have yourself 
a
nifty-thrifty
 Monday!
