Hi it’s Leanne here.

Today is another oversharing post from me.

Because Darebin hard rubbish is on, and it is my favourite time of the year. Hands down! As far as I am concerned it’s a month of good vibes everywhere - as the whole suburb turns into one giant free op shop!

So I am going to share a list with you … my most favourite hard rubbish finds. So you can possibly be proud that you put those things out for display on the nature strip so nicely that I picked them up!

Because it’s everyone’s aim right, with anything still in good nick, to set it out nicely so that someone collects it … there’s nothing more depressing in the whole world to me than hearing that crushing truck crushing good things that someone could have collected … oh it nearly makes me cry!

Anyway, the list of the things I am proud to have rescued from the nasty truck include:

• The pigeon hole shelves in my lounge room

• The drawers in my bedroom

• The standard lamp in my lounge room

• My bike

• My bentwood kitchen chairs

• My hall table

• The wool rug in my dining room

• The kilim rug in my hall

• My Webber Q (amazing right?)

• The antique desk in my studio

And the list goes on and on. My 3 matching garden tables, my teak garden chairs, the slide in the garden, the rusty old laundry trolley under our clothes line that adds character to our garden … and all my vintage washing baskets.

When the kids were little I found sandpit toys, bikes and boogie boards.

Whatever you need, in whatever life stage you are at … you can find it in hard rubbish. I swear it’s true! Some nice old Fowlers jars for vases? A new armchair? I wish you good luck for the upcoming fun. I’ll see you out there.
