I've recently discovered 'freecycle' and can't wait to share with all of you! This is a site that will link you (any where in the world!) to your neighborhood group so that you can trade and share (free of course). Furniture, clothes, odds and ends. "One mans trash is another mans treasure" is truly their mantra. I've found wood pallets , canning jars, clothes for my great grandson, and some bits and pieces and odds and ends (I will try to post finish projects, and I do have a link for making a shed and fence from free wood pallets). If you're like me and would rather exhaust all other outlets before I have to buy something, give this a try. http://www.freecycle.org/
And this is the wood pallet shed (and fence) that I love!! http://summerville-novascotia.com/PalletShed/

I love my freecycle. I have gotten rid of many things on ours. My dh had knee surgery in March and I was in need of a recliner for his recovery. The next day someone one mile from my house posted one. I was able to get to it first. It looks brand new and was such a blessing for my hubby's recovery. I love it too. LOL
Hope you get some great finds.

Thank you Kitty! My first day I was able to give away a breast pump kit that my daughter was going to throw away (she didn't want to bother) so not only am I pleased, but I made someone elses day!!!
