Transfer treasure: White enamelware bowl

Transfer station.

Sounds so much better than 'place with giant garbage bins for you to separate recyclables and trash on a Saturday morning.'  Transfer stations are also know to have swap sheds, or give-n-take racks -- all things that are music to my ears.  During an autumn visit to a transfer station I found a lovely little bowl gathering dust in a nearly empty swap shed.

Such a lovely piece of white enamelware, only a few dings around the top rim, but otherwise in great condition.

Coincidentally, the next day I was walking by a parking lot flea market in another city when I spotted this bowl for sale.  $12 for a vintage white enamelware bowl.  Not bad, but mine was free!

I'm not sure what I'll use my new bowl for, but given its wide flat bottom and vertical sides it has the look of a potential succulent planter....

Happy freestyling!

Small, ornate, and enameled metal jar

This metal jar and lid was lovely little find from le dump from a while back. I used it to store odds and ends, but then I moved into a tiny space and was trying to downsize.....  

...so I gave it to a friend who was styling a shelf in her new apartment featuring photos from her world travels, this goes nicely with her gorgeous photos of India.

Just passing along the pretty, in freestyle of course.

Things come in to your life for free- it's nice. 

Giving things away so they can be enjoyed by someone else- ever nicer.

Happy freestyling.
