31 Days Blog to Biz / Day 18 - shopping at... 'the curbside!'

There's this open air market that I adore shopping at for 'stock'. 

It's called 'the curbside.' :)

This is the usual type of specimen I generally jam in the back of my truck, much to my son's dismay.

So imagine my surprise when I whipped by the below little number the other day.

Brand new.

Let's take a closer look at that top...

It's METAL.

All metal hardware intact. VERY cool. And I now officially need some chalk paint to try PRONTO.

I think I'm the last one on earth to not have touched the wonderful world of chalk paint as yet. I've actually held off because I was talking to a Canadian company I was hoping to promote. Liquids are something you can't ship across the border and us Canadians are dyin' to be in a chalkpaint giveaway, yes?!?! Nothing's worked out yet so it may be time to hunt some down myself.

So... what would YOU do with a piece like this?

Oh! And this little ensemble even came with a coke bottle cap opener! 

YES. Even my upscale finds are a bit junky. :)

Always keep your eyes open and have no shame. Curbside shopping is no worse than purchasing something 2nd hand from elsewhere....

Right?!?

Are you embarrassed to curbside shop?
