Curbside Joy
Spring in Prescott marks the town’s annual garbage pick-up week, where citizens can put just about anything on their curb to be taken away. Piles begin to appear around the neighborhoods and sometimes on our walk, my husband and I will spy something we can use. Here’s what we came upon this week:
I actually think this was made by a close friend of mine and his late mother a few years ago when they were making folk art crosses, altars, and such. It needs some fixin’ up for sure, but hey, that’s what I do! I’m going to call my friend and see if he wants to I.D. this piece…but regardless, I can’t wait to mess with it a little. I wonder what this incarnation will bring?
I find JOY in the craziest places!Â

I have found road side joy before ! The perfect table for beside my bed, after some work and creativity on my part !
Love this piece – ready for magic !!!
Happy Thursday !
this is treasure for sure. and so are all your friends who grace your life in so many unexpected ways!
love finding treasures in trash : ) love your find!
Ok – I envision building a little nicho into the opening and creating a shrine there………. much more interesting than a mirror and who better to do that than you, dear one?
What a find! I love serendipitous joy most of all, I think! Peace and blessings, Olivia
Oh wow! What a great find. Oh, you will revive this little piece. I already see lots of color, oh boy, it will be fun to see the end results. I can’t wait!! Yay!
Can’t wait to see what you do with it, be sure to post on JOY Thursday!

Oh how could anyone get rid of something like this. I’m so glad you found it before the pickup came around.
