Another Great Garbage Find!
What luck I am having this summer! Yes, people, keep cleaning out those attics and leaving your stuff on the curb for me.
As I was driving by my friend Jackie’s house last night, I saw her putting this on the curb! I pulled over and she said, “isn’t that fabulous? I trash picked it!” hahahahahh!!! I was jealous!
Then she explained to me that she thought her sister would like to have it for her neice, but decided it would take too much work. She had just decided to pass the karma along and put it on her curb and along I came!
I feel lucky! I am going to renovate this doll house slowly as I have cash. First thing I am going to work on is the exterior. Much of the missing trim was inside the dollhouse, so I’ll reinstall it. In addition there was a chimney that had fallen off to put back on and some windows to reinstall.
It’s always been a dream of mine to work on one of these things, so I am thankful for this! I’ll post some pics when I make a little progress!
[...] Well, two years later, I have finally begun renovation on the dollhouse I found in the trash in July 2008. [...]
