J - How cool about the crib. It is so much fun to hear about everyone's tales of found stuff.

Both of my children as babies slept in a lovely wooden crib that my dad brought home from the city dump in Michigan. Someone had left it, it's panels neatly stacked with all its hardware intact, leaning against one the the buildings at the dump. I'll bet they were hoping someone would grab it and use it. We did! Dad replaced a covering on a side rail and we bought a fresh mattress. It served us very well.

Score! I'm not the only one, I see. I rescued a wooden plant stand from the garbage the other day and toted it home during my morning walk. It was just a couple of short blocks, though, not a kilometre and a half!! Congrats on the free bench! Score! I’m not the only one, I see.
