What Are You Picking Up Now?


I get a lot of grief for picking up stuff off the street or sidewalk -- I can't help it, I am too curious.  I never find anything of great value but I always find something of great interest.  We recently I spied a pair of sunglasses so I went over to them and picked them up and they turned out to be a pair of Smith sunglasses in excellent condition.  I feel awful for whoever lost them but that is why I only get my sunglasses at the dollar store.  Although I did manage to keep my vintage 80's clubmaster sunglasses all these years and still love them.  Well I checked out the glasses when I got home and they retail for $125 but I could find them on eBay for $80.  I posted them today for $20, since they are used, and they got a bid in 10 minutes.  YAY for picking up trash!  Now I just have to wait all week to see what they go for.  Even if they only go for $20 then I am pleased.  So remember there are treasures out there if you keep your eyes open for them.  Also again I am sorry for whoever lost them.
