Friends, surely you know by now that I have few qualms about reclaiming others' trash -- provided it looks and smells clean of course!
This morning, as I was leaving my apartment building (through the back where the dumpsters are), I noticed that someone had discarded what looked like a child's art project -- an aluminum foil and tinsel-covered butterfly -- atop one of the recycling bins. Naturally, I'm drawn to shiny objects and I noticed upon closer inspection that this butterfly was decorated with a great many buttons -- including some very nice buttons.
DING DING DING!!!
I grabbed the butterfly, stuffed it in my messenger bag and went on my merry way.
Well, I just harvested my butterfly and I'm very happy with my yield.
Twelve plastic turquoise buttons in two different sizes:
Eight cornflower blue buttons:
A single satin frog closure:
Two beaded buttons embellished with pearls and rhinestones:
Six large plastic imitation mother of pearl buttons -- I like these the best!
And that's Friday's treasure -- so far!
Any good trash finds in your neck of the dump?
Have a great day, everybody!
