morning at the bus stop

this was a sight at the bus stop this morning. since there were people waiting for the bus to arrive, i walked past it. but past three people, i backtracked and took a few shots to their amusement. if i was quite inclined, i'd have dragged it back to my building and have it butchered so i could get the top and use it as a prop for taking still lifes. but i needed the walk (or required to walk the 3.5 miles a day) so i didn't. someone got to it promptly methinks as it wasn't there anymore coming back from my walk.

-o0o-
our ravaged bodies, as over time, the manufacturer's defects manifest themselves, sometimes need repair. in consulting with a dermatologist to have the skin tags in my armpit and neck (because they bother me) cauterized, she also suggested i should have some skin stretching in my cheek which would make me look 20 years younger, or at the most, have botox injections around my mouth. also, a few sessions of skin peeling to remove or lighten the pesky freckles. all for the price of $2,500.

just the skin tags, please.

kintsugi is the art of accepting damage. it's also the theme this week over at five plus two. check us out: https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2021-08-04

oh yes the top would have been great for that!
just age naturally - sure skin tags would be bothersome, but you are beautiful a la naturale!

just 2.500? 3 here, please!
Jeez, why would a dermatologist recommend that??? Well, of course, for the money. But still... I really hate that.

As for the piece of furniture! that is brilliant. I would have liked to drag it to my house and restore it and keep it. Splendid piece.

[Susan Wakely]

What a random find, a great restoration project.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Too bad that furniture piece was gone, would have been a nice do it yourself project.

[Lou Ann]

Furniture doesn’t last long on the street curbs here. Painted furniture is all the rage right now.

I see things like this from time to time and like you I’m tempted to bring it home too! However, at my age I need to be putting stuff out instead of bringing it in. Glad you could entertain the people waiting for the bus with your photography shoot

[Stephomy]

Aw... that thing just needs a little TLC.

Great find and capture

With a little tlc and in the right woodwork shop that chest of drawers could be totally renewed. It looks a little beat up but still in good shape. It's amazing what people put out by the road now. I left to run errands today and there was a suitcase and other bags at the curb with a sign that said, "Free". They weren't there when I came home. Tell the doc you don't need botox because you have photoshop. (o;

I was thinking that often when a piece of furniture like this is put out to the curb (single family dwelling neighborhood) for rough trash pick up it often doesn't stay long. Do these people receive special signals? How do they know that something they might want is there for the picking?

I think that accepting yourself is important. Because how far does "self improvement" go before one stops.

What a find. Looks like a treasure.

[Helen Jane]

That looks as though it were once rather splendid. I don't blame you for wanting the top. As for botox and skin stretching - definitely not needed. What a cheek!
