At the Armory Show

I really wanted to take this tube-scarf thing; it seemed to have been abandoned.

Greg said, "Just do what you think is right."

So—no scarf for me. :(

Free garbage

Including:

 Peacock feathers!

Hmm. Half beautiful, half gross.

FOUND ON THE STREET

That is correct, two of them, and just the right size for our stovetop espresso maker!

Greg said, "You saved us a dollar."

I am a good provider.

Sorry Santa

Your basket is not wanted.

FOUND!

In a bag hanging on a fence!

In case you're curious (I was):

"Now They Call It 'Sweatshirt Dressing'"

New tea towels!

Super-soft absorbent linen, which is a bit hard to find these days, and edifying religious slogans to improve my mind and morals.

Also calendars.

But the best thing about them is: they were free!

Yes, I took them from a "free box" at a yard sale. The lady gave me the dirtiest look, holy moly. Greg said it was because I didn't actually BUY anything, just raided the ol' free box. All I have to say is—if it ain't free, don't put it in that box!

Anyhoo: NEW TEA TOWELLLLLLLS!

Tote bag

Found on the street!

Needs to be laundered, but otherwise AWESOME.

Found

Pan pipes of Brooklyn.

Found

In a pot by the side of the road in a rain storm:

The internet tells me it is portulaca. I hope I can take care of it.

(I think my geranium has some kind of blight; it's so upsetting!)

Found!

On the Upper East Side, in a box by the curb:
 

Some napkins and a couple placemats.

I like 'em.

Sharpie on the ground

Greg picked it up, tested it on his hand, then stuck it in his pocket.

A very proud day for yours truly.

The amazing

Duck head stick.

Found by the amazing me!

Rockaway Beach!

It's quite an interesting scene.

You can get really good food (and coffee!).

There are items to find.

Waves galore:

The incredible ocean.

I patted this walrus.

And, the best thing: when you're done, if you stand in line a lady will hose off your legs for you.

Rare sighting

Parking lot mitten in summer.

Upper East Side

Outside a school.





It's a chair.

That "teacher" style of printing is so characteristic; I have it also, from years of marking up page proofs.

Found

A rawther odd image featuring a clown.

On a piece of cardstock with a hole punched in it.

Found

All of someone's art.













Pretty moldy.

Umm

I found your sweatshirt.

(I may have run over it in my car.)

More beach swag

An awesome chunk of wood!







Now it sits on the dresser.
