Another Man's Treasure

New York City offers some top-notch trash. Practically anybody who has lived there has noticed, or even taken home, a perfectly good end table or a bookshelf that has been left on the sidewalk next to bags of garbage by someone who didn’t want it anymore. Even city dwellers who don’t partake know about this informal circulation of goods as a feature of urban object culture played out in the public sphere.
-Rob Walker



This odd circulation of goods, is a fun part of the culture here in the city. Everyone I know has things in their apartment that they got off the side walk, not only just furniture but clothes, purses, and books. Today I got this nice little table as a wonderful find. Sometimes it really feels like God left it there for you, especially when it fits your need so perfectly.



Bradley inspected it, to let me know everything was good. :)
