Oh, I had one of the weirdest neighbors, who was in Montréal to study. She was always lost or looking for something, never totally aware of where she was. When she suddenly decided to go back to Switzerland, she threw away everything she had in her home two weeks before leaving (go figure). I couldn't believe the sight of all that could be re-used, given away or recycled, so I dived in. In an afternoon, I found and kept for me new drapes, a ratchet kit and some new pots and pans, I took for a friend a whole set of power tools (being Yvan's daughter, I have a ton), for another one two bags of kitchen utensils, but the very best find was this:
600$, her passport and bank statements. Which I (sights) gave back (sights). I could've fled to Mexico with this!
A few weeks after she left, I needed the ratchets so I opened the bag to realize there was a numeric camera in there. I think it was karma, rewarding my honesty...
Krisk, there is nothing more fun than to play with your decor, enjoy it to the fullest... and pictures would be nice!
