Street furnishings

There was a time when I could furnish an apartment with stuff I found on the street.

Not now. My taste has, shall we say, evolved. In short, it’s better than other’s “what were we thinking” discards.

I did find a shelf that once properly installed was a sturdy staple in our bathroom for years.

I was sitting on the bench typing away as is my wont when a fellow traveler asked if I was taking it. My new friend had already picked up the tray table.

I said no, I will give it to you.

You can’t guess how delighted he was with his windfall.

As the saying goes, one man’s no thanks is another’s treasure.
