My "Buy Nothing" Hobby

A few months ago Lew and I both joined the "Buy Nothing" Facebook group for our town. I've been the fortunate recipient of a few items from the page, but lately I've been posting things to give away.  (I mentioned this in Saturday's post.)

Yesterday we got a new room-size area rug for our living room. As a result, we had four rugs to get rid of, so I put them on "Buy Nothing" (of course)! One person expressed interest right away, and we were so happy to gift the rugs to this particular person. Two other people expressed interest in case the first option fell through. (This sometimes happens because not everyone is timely about picking up their items.) But the first person came last night to pick up the rugs, and everyone was happy... especially us!

Another gal that picked up some items on Sunday is an "old" friend. (Not "old" age-wise, just number of years known.)  She left me a sprig of flowers on the porch where I had left her items. So sweet of her! The flowers were from our own tree, but still... such a nice thought!  😁
