local streets *virtual coffee* today...?
hoping these gorgeous wooden boxes i found may tempt you...
you see it's what we call *clean up* on our local beaches- which really just means local council allow
you to
ever wanted to get rid of...
& they will, after a few days to allow
sort out the good from the actual rubbish, then collect these unwanted piles, free of charge & by
doing so free up your garage & your conscience...
i've had a lovely past week visiting many a *local clean up pile*, as i took the kiddos swimming .
..went for my morning hours walk along the harbour...or just spotted something from
the car as i've been flying past...
i'll share all my goodies later...
there are a few that i may have paid very good money for within the haul,
had i found them in some favourite vintage shop here on the beaches, or in England...
i would have photographed them all - & blogged them to my hearts content...but i'm a little
preoccupied with a phone call we recieved this morning stating that our very longed for-
desperately missed container of *life* from the English countryside has landed &
that we will be surrounded by all that is us soon...
so...enjoy these side-of-the-road-boxes i found..
.there will be sooo many more goodies to share...
have a wonderful few days gals...
i know i'm going to ...
