The bins are supposed to be just for dead foliage so they often just get dumped at the side. They are type you see in garden centers, lined with plastic with pot plants in. The plant has died and the whole thing gets chucked! They always looked in pretty good condition, particularly in the summer, it seemed such a waste when they cost so much to buy.

Especially where I live since they are so very expensive. I bought a nice one on sale last year at half price and it was still quite high but I will have it for many years to come. It doesn't get battered since I keep in on the inside. Another year I tried to hand stuff on the outside of my door (I live in a multiplex, not single dwelling) and someone tried to steal it the very first night. They were caught in the act, so I now keep it indoors.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-40166335412689125742014-02-15T02:01:27.471+00:002014-02-15T02:01:27.471+00:00I still have a wreath my mom made in 1984.

Computers, kids toys etc. They just cant be bothered to take them to the Goodwill and dont seem to care about filling up the landfills.lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345707661431587475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-71638112507850275662014-02-14T22:34:56.742+00:002014-02-14T22:34:56.742+00:00I love your finds.

If it fades a bit I just wrap another layer of ribbon over the faded bits. Still their wastefulness is your gain, so that's great.Winterfell Mixed Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085237973862858567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-28324984482650794072014-02-14T21:32:35.650+00:002014-02-14T21:32:35.650+00:00Yes, even our Christmas wreath is around 10 years ...Yes, even our Christmas wreath is around 10 years old - something I do not want to get rid of, even though we have got rid of most of our other stuff!! We are now being battered again by storms on the south coast, the campsite is flooded (not really flooded like Somerset) but I am not sure we will be able to move the motorhome on Wednesday to take it to be repaired. I hope George is rehomed soon, one day (when we are properly settled) I will be more than happy to give a good home to rescue cats and dogs again.

A shame the couple didnt take a chance on George, I am sure he would have loved them. It takes cats a few soft words and lots of nice food etc and next you know they are wrapping themselves around your legs and purring. He is a lovely cat and deserves a lovely home. I will be glad when all these storms subside as I worry so about the cats that live rough up on the park land, at least they are still calling into the yard for food a couple of times each day. I am having to mix Sainsburys own mix with the dearer Purina mix I buy as they do not like just Sainsburys food, Talk about spoiled ferrals being choosy. Off to do the night feeding dishes then bed myself to listen to the radio. <br />Danneke in a Wet and Wild ScarboroughAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-76336741431230854002014-02-14T19:12:55.604+00:002014-02-14T19:12:55.604+00:00My home made wreath I had made 2 years ago has bee...My home made wreath I had made 2 years ago has been torn to shreds by the winter storms we had, so now I`m on the look out for more useful materials that I can use to make another for next Christmas.
