We looked at a lot of places with neat stuff, but ours doesn´t have much - a couple of keys, an enamelled coffee pot, and a large number of single childrens shoes, which was a little creepy. We do have a pile of old wood we´d like to repurpose in the house if it hasn´t already rotted away by the time we can use it.<br /><br />So glad you appreciate those finds.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002346978289429622noreply@blogger.com
