heidiiiii Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I have a bum foot and a stuffy nose but that is not going to stop me from going and getting some dh furniture. Livingroom, bedroom, bathroom pieces, and several miscellaneous items (some are hand made). It is in my city so it will be a quick trip to pick up and come home..I will post pics when I get back after 10:30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjnick54 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Not to sound dumb, but I keep hearing 'Freecycle' mentioned from time to time. What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakyshaky Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Freecycle is a website where you can get rid of things you don't need ( for free) and sometimes get things you do. It's freecycle.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Ahem, Heidi, it's after 4 PM in my part of the world, which is 'way to the west of your part of the world... I want to see what's worth blowing your "poor suffering invalid" that gets to keep you on the couch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 LOL I am sorry. I have been relaxing all day. I already took pictures and I will post them in the morning..I promise. Fred is sick now so I will sneak down in the morning before my Florence Nightingale duties begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I posted a pic in my gallery of the stuff I received yesterday. Now that I look at it, I need to take a better one because it is a bit blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Congrats you got some nice things there. Love the bathroom set and the piano. I can never find anything on freecycle. It must be where I live. LOL Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Love the mini goodies, Heidi! I wonder why they were up for grabs? Did you hear the story behind the gifting? (Can't help being curious - I don't understand anyone not wanting miniatures!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 What a great find you got there Heidi, hope that both you and Fred is feeling so much better now! Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Still under the weather but have turned a good corner. That dizzy, achy, *feel like #*#& * feeling has gone away. I asked for dollhouse and miniatures on freecycle. Every 3 months I put out feelers to see if anyone has anything. This woman responded with the furniture. Her daughter used it for her classes to teach spanish. There are stickers with the spanish word for what it is on some of them. The couch is nice but it is dirty, I am going to see if I can peel off the fabric and just recover it. The piano is a real score. It is in good shape and the winding mechanism for the music box still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Great to hear that you are feeling better! Sounds like you have a plan for the re-upholstring of the sofa, do you have a place for it in mind allready? Take care now and hope that you feel a LOT better real soon!

heidiiiii Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Anna, I think it will go in the Pomeroy house. I plan on the inside being modern and that style of couch could be a cool retro addition. I need to get myself well so I can work on the house itself. ( Summer colds are the worst!) I found a kit I bought (and misplaced) from the Sturbridge show. I think I will work on it today. It is a mini version of those dollhouse bookcases that they sell in stores for children`s rooms.

Shy Spirit Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I found a kit I bought .... It is a mini version of those dollhouse bookcases that they sell in stores for children`s rooms. Nice! That should help you feel better, Heidi. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The only upside to those lingering virus illnesses is when you start to feel better! Do keep off your feet for another couple of days (unless it's another free mini!lol) and keep pushing fluids. Gotta love those kits for shen you're on the mend.

grynche Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nice haul. Esp. the music box piano. I have two jewelry boxes with music boxes in them. hmmmmm I never see anything on Freecycle, but I've never posted on it either. Worth a try. Hope you feel better soon.
