Vintage Find

Since our recent break in, I have been lost without my lovely big camera.

Our next best camera was also taken, but both my girls small ones luckily were missed 

and it is with one of these that I was able to take some photo's.

A few weeks ago while walking past my neighbours I glanced into the dumpster bin they had out front.

They were having a big clean out before they moved and I just happened to spy something interesting.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw that it was this lovely old stove.

I knew it was way too heavy for me to lift out alone, so I had to wait for Andy to get home.

Hours past and when he finally arrived I told him of my discovery.

 I expected him to say "what are you going to do with that, more junk", but he didn't.

Then I thought it still wouldn't have been there, but it was.

He was actually just as excited as me.

We hauled it out, carried it home, where it now sits under our back verandah.

A piece of history almost lost to the tip.
