GetThrifted

Esther and I have had good luck tag sale-ing this weekend. One find from yesterday was a big ol' heavy duty metal toolbox. For the last year or so I've been keeping my bike tools in a sparkly blue plastic Lisa Frank-style makeup chest, complete with a butterfly on the box's latch, and a fold-out mirror inside. That box was itself a great thrift, a couple bucks at the Salvation Army, and it was actually pretty practical—a lot more practical than the system it replaced: a series of disordered bins and boxes.
