*YEAH*... Guess what?? Tonight I became... "one of those people" ! :) Yep! I am officially a "curb shopper"! hahaha!! I was driving along, when "what" did my wandering eyes see? ON A CURB... set out for the TRASH tomorrow? A bathroom sink! Just the porceline top, without the cabinetry... but it was *FREE* :D *YEAH* ....
I *squealed*, took a double-glance, turned around and drove back-- got out, climbed the house steps, rang the doorbell, and *WAITED* :D I felt SO silly and awkward... but this was a FREE opportunity for my DREAM to inch a little step closer to me, and I COULD NOT pass it by!! ;) SO... here I was, standing on a stranger's porch-- after dark-- waiting to ask her permission to "take her trash"!! hahahahaha!!!! But... she turned out to be very good-natured about it, and it all turned out to be *JUST FINE* :D As my sons were getting ready to pick it up, I saw a much smaller sink laying down there, too. It wasn't in as good of shape, but... I brought it home, too! If it is beyond fixing up-- then I can just throw it away myself. But I thought it was worth getting, "just in case". So now I have TWO sinks for my little dream cottage :) And I am *SO* excited!!! My first REAL tangible thing, that says, "YES!! I *AM* DOING THIS!!!" :D YEAH!!!!!!!! (Wouldn't it be nice if I am able to get *all* or even "a lot" of what I need for FREE??-- Just a thought! We'll see....)
It's too dark to take pictures tonight... but I will tomorrow...
