one person's trash...

...is another person's treasure!

We have an on-going treasure hunt in the breakroom at work. If you have something you don't want, put it on the first table and someone is bound to take it. A drink powder you didn't like? Overnight diapers? A purse? A sweater? Put it out there! I myself have contributed a wooden picnic basket. It didn't even last 10 minutes. We're a thrifty bunch, us librarian types.

Today's treasures are some vintage chicks for Easter decorating. I snatched them right up. They're just old enough that they've earned the title "vintage" as opposed to "clutter." Now I have visions of gathering up lots of ceramic chicks and clustering them in high places or marching them across the mantle. It could be an amusing springtime display!
