    I'm an online reseller and have a booth at an antique mall and I've made hundreds $ at this point from items that I've sourced from our local landfill. I learned last year how much people throw out so many good things! I go at least twice a week and while I don't always find something, it's always a joy when I do! All the things I find are, 1) items that people have set off to the side because they're done with them, but they're still in decent enough condition so someone may want them, or 2) from the metal/electronics recycling section. While it may not be glamorous, between the absolute pure profit that it brings and saving things from going to the landfill, it's quite an enjoyable venture 😁

      Just curious how you "save" things from the dump? Our city dump wont let us take a piece of scrap paper away. I'm serious, it could be a hundred dollar bill laying there and if you put it in your pocket you get charged with stealing. Or my yard WOULD be a junk yard. Cant tell you the treasures ive seen at the dump and the scrap yard.😢

    It's so good to see someone love the chippy old things and rusty textures and not just paint them white. And to use the old way ideas to distress instead of spending a large amount of of money on products is so refreshing!! Love all these ideas!!

    Deidra, you are incredibly creative with an outstanding artistic eye. I can’t make up my mind which project I liked best but that rocking chair was a terrific find and I would never have thought to take a rusty crusty broken scale and include it an beautifully warm vignette. Wow. Just wow!

    Oh my gosh, Love the bird seed feeder! There are so many ideas for bird feeders. I've used a lamp, removed shade and electric. Thrifted a large shallow bowl and used e6000 to glue it to the lamp stand. Makes a beautiful bird bath!

    Girl, I want to go dump shopping with you! You find the coolest treasures. God has blessed you with a DIY spirit. Besides seeing the beautiful items you create I enjoy the basic supplies you use. There are so many things at the craft shops our $$ can leave our pockets fast. But you create very unique treasures with basic supplies.
