In my city in Canada we have a day every Autumn to give things away to students as we are a University city. You can put anything out out, furniture, dishes etc that will help out of province or local students. I think it’s wonderful.

@walkingthemiles4613 Год назад

Really like this idea!!!

@heatherwalton9501 Год назад

Great idea - hope it catches on here!

@jayneyaghmour7320 Год назад

Wonderful way of giving things to people who really need it.

@MrCarrington Год назад

Fantastic!

@kathleensmith9660 Год назад

I use Oolio in my area quite a lot mainly for giving things away I also have had some non food items from it too.

@marjoryross2754 Год назад

One of my sons lived in San Francisco for about five years and he had many great finds but the best was an Eames chair that needed a little fix. He took it to be repaired and was immediately offered $3000. He kept the chair and it is beautiful.🇨🇦🇨🇦

@cyniror Год назад

My fav was the purple le creuset mug…what a find!

@nilakshiroy6 Год назад

The best part of your finds: they are with YOU, such a caring, kind and quite a unique person with a fresh perspective on the things we take as ordinary or for granted! Enjoy the re-homing of these homeless things!

@joane5777 Год назад

Amaryllis bulbs are usually grown or given as gifts at Christmastime.🎄 At least he's gone to a great home with you Mr. C❣

@kittyglitter8186 Год назад

I’m surprised you didn’t pick up “The Art Book”, that’s a cool book. I bought it several years ago, and paid $35 for it. I imagine it costs a lot more now. Go back out, there, and see if you can find it!!! 😂

@lisahoskins503 Год назад

I can't believe someone threw way the kitchen trolley. I love it x

@AuntyM66 Год назад

This is why I love living in this city. When saw the cup and the Cath Kidson mug I thought of Luke and Kate. The plant was at a bargain.

@valeriegarner3521 Год назад

You were well framed by the trolly!

@anonniemouse8042 Год назад

It's amazing what people throw out. One persons junk is another's treasure. Currently enjoying your work in sort your life out.

@WoW-JojoVlog Год назад

Embroidery hoops are fantastic for hanging fabric as art. Nice addition to a gallery wall.

@pattimercer9357 Год назад

What great free finds! I thought for sure you would bring the ‘log’ home! Would have been great on the deck to elevate a plant pot.

@traciewilliams4630 Год назад

Or to use as a small side table for books etc , I would have def brought that home 🏡 😀

@jenanization Год назад

@@traciewilliams4630 Me too

@jameshollyoak8230 Год назад

And me

@walkingthemiles4613 Год назад

Who would throw away an Amaryllis 🤷‍♀️ Glad you’re taking care of it from now on it may need a support as it grows. I really like the idea of putting items out for others to possibly use. Great bit of up-cycling good job 👍

@bf4744 Год назад

This will come back each year too. It will have to be kept indoors during winter but I have mine outdoors.

@angiem8434 Год назад

Someone probably got it as a gift and never used it

@annmcneill5559 Год назад

that cloud box would be great to hold hair bobbles , clips etc

@tinylite4964 Год назад

The amaryillis - just sit it on the soil, roots actually in soil, most of bulb out of it. Needs support obviously! Smashing find. We lived in Portugal and its common to just put items beside bins for folk to take! Enjoy your finds!

@avacadman2155 Год назад

I love picking things that others discard. We do the same with items we no longer need too, sharing is caring! 👍👍👍💗💗

@camillealsup6293 Год назад

The metal tray appears to be pewter. In the box you found the tea cups, I saw a copy of one of my favorite fine art reference books by Taishen (The Art Book) and was so surprised you didn’t take it! Be well 💜

@marilogonzalez-estefani3923 Год назад

Yes, it is pewter

@kittyglitter8186 Год назад

I thought the same about “The Art Book!”

@bonniewright7169 Год назад

Good idea for the embroidery hoop -if you find a particularly nice remnant of fabric -or even wall paper for unusual wall art-just fix between the rings and trim up the back x

@bf4744 Год назад

I've seen where people use fabric flowers on one side of the hoop, and it makes a lovely wreath.

@laurafigiel8119 Год назад

London was great for free stuff when I lived there. I still have a bedside table I found for free and some old pharmacy drawers that I made in to a larger drawer set. They've moved about 5 times with me. Happy finding 😊

@sally_mum Год назад

I usually put things outside my house and leave a note that says, Take Me. 🙃 I declutter quite frequently. It makes me feel good to see my neighbours make us of it .

@jackydavis3719 Год назад

We left a few of my daughters old toys outside…they were all gone in one afternoon!! A few of my neighbours have been doing it as well…toys,plants & books mainly…lovely to do

@carolberry9461 Год назад

The embroidery hoop would be great for making some type of macrame wall art with long pieces of the jute hanging from the bottom.

@Von1966 Год назад

You can keep your choppers in the little cloud box xx

@hotmailemail1128 Год назад

My amaryllis plants live indoors on the window sills during our long northern winters but during the summer I put the pots outside again. They usually grow exceedingly well & flower every year. Occasionally they will decide that it's time to "hibernate" and seem to die off. However, don't despair, let them rest for a few months then start watering them again, and they will reward you with more blooms. Some of my plants must be at least 10 years old by now and have produced offspring! Good luck with yours!

@AA4PJM Год назад

I would totally put some battery powered mini string lights inside that little plastic cloud, would make a super cute night light.

@bec.11 Год назад

The embroidery hoop can be used for hanging plants to train onto and I love the bucket 🪣 😁👌🇦🇺🙋‍♀️

@annaking9213 Год назад

The beach homes on the coast here in North Carolina,USA, have great curb side free be’s.

@suemilestone2048 Год назад

That’s quite a haul! This practice is common in Bristol where I live. Some students set up a hub in UB for recycling household goods at end of the academic year, preferable to dumping! Students are also setting up housing Co-ops and a new Co-operative cafe named BASE so they don’t starve…

@lindaroberts2508 Год назад

Your pot plant is a in door plant, leave on window for sunny light to grow the green foliage andca flower will come out with in time,you will kill it if you put it outside. Love the vlog. ❤❤❤

@sarahharbert8944 Год назад

Wow! Some great finds from the streets! I think the metal bucket would make a lovely miniature pond

@debbiemclarnon2960 Год назад

I'm from Glasgow, & have found some amazing stuff! Went down to the bin area & found a lovely new bin for our kitchen, several books, 4 wooden bar stools! I have also picked up some lovely cups from a freebie giveaway! Your butchers table is fabulous! I would sand it down & have it natural! Keep up the good work! 👌X

@berlinorama Год назад

Love the stuff! Here in Berlin we have free boxes all over many neighborhoods. I found a great teardrop-shape midcentury modern mirror last year, and also found a classic, working 1960s electric coffee grinder several years ago. People also leave huge wardrobes and sofas, but of course you need a van to move them and most people don't just happen to be passing with such modes of transport. I know a guy who upcycles old chairs he finds on the street, and he picks them up with his cargo bike.

@fraserdonnelly3251 Год назад

Thank you so much Mr Carrington. For Your Brilliant Videos. They are so Helpful. You are An Incredible Man. I Hope You a wonderful 2023

@dmfl2004 Год назад

Here in San Antonio, Texas every 6 months the city rotates between picking up from our curbs trees and shrubs and last month they picked up bulk items. Which is household items, TV's furniture , washers/dryers dishes anything you don't want put it on the curb. People come by go thru it and take what they want what's left the city takes and disposes of it.

@DeeElleUU Год назад

In my city in Canada we have “free give away weekend” in May and in September. People pile their unwanted items at the curb. I have gotten some great things for myself and my classroom. Last year I found a huge bag of DVDs. Sold them in batches. Made $100. Also found a bag of golf clubs last fall. Sold one club so far for $40. It’s just a fun thing to do. 🥰🇨🇦

@irmawesterback2930 Год назад

Thank you saving the amaryllis. It will be beautiful, take good care of it🌺

@tinacarrol6702 Год назад

Great Finds Iwan. Amarillis is Inside. Just potted One up. It's in The Window. And keep it. It will Flower Again. Have one in The Kitchen I have had it for 3 years and it's just Started To grow again small leaves. Xx 😀😘

@bf4744 Год назад

Have you grown any paper whites?

@anabarbulescu4043 Год назад

You can use the embroidery hoop to display a scarf or any type of fabric you love.

@deborahcartwright160 Год назад

They do annual clear outs in Holland on Kings Day which is 27th April and they are allowed to sell everything tax free. It’s fab because everyone where’s orange and sits outside selling their wares. It used to be called queens day before queen Beatrix stepped down and King Willem took over x

@jillmoorhouse8888 Год назад

Some great finds.I'm guessing the Amaryllis may have been an unwanted gift, ive had many over the years and the flowers are beautiful. I love the purple Le Creuset cup,my fave colour x

@gazelle8981 Год назад

Love that blog Mr C so interesting and informative. I new you would come up with more good videos. Well done to you.I live the kitchen island you found ,I shall watch with great interest how you get on with it.we often put items out which are not suitable for us anymore 😀 believe me they go very quick.we found a lovely ornate mirror and it's in garage for now,waiting to become usable again.thankyou lovely blog.look forward to the next one and see how you transform the kitchen island oh by the way luke would love it Lol xxxc

@shaziaasim2636 Год назад

Omg the annual de clutter day holiday is an amazing idea!!

@elizabethtyrrell7362 Год назад

In the US, we have neighborhood clean up and people will put things out by the curb and what doesn't get taken the garbage truck picks it up!! Get some nice things to upcycle!!

@denisemeredith2436 Год назад

Amaryllis are definitely indoor plants in our climate - I cannot get over the fact that someone chucked it out. You have a great haul and I love the trolley and think it would be lovely painted in a soft sage green.

@dianebaugher3919 Год назад

Ooh what fun! I would make a candle out of the Cath Kidston mug, would make a lovely gift.

@Leaffycottage Год назад

I lived in Germany and they have a dry rubbish collection day a couple of times a year, and people would just help themselves, you would find settees, cupboards etc all pilled in one designated area, I have seen a schrank ( a very large german cupboard made of wood) put out for collection, you would need a furniture removal van to take it home. Got quite a few treasures and its a pity they didn't have them over here, might solve the fly tipping problem. xx

@dawnjohnson3893 Год назад

Paint your bucket in the black toilet duck and it will give it the dull galvanised look...I know it's not rust but it will dull it down and take the shine off...Loving your posts Mr Carrington...Keep up the good work...Love and best wishes ♥️

@Primarniqueen Год назад

Amaryllis indoor plant . Touch up coasters with gold paint or rub n buff. Nice finds

@suecox2308 Год назад

Great coasters--You can probably sand off the metallic trim but if you like it (I do), you can fix the chips with metal leaf and size., or even change the color to gold or silver. The metal plate might be Wilton Armetale, a company which made a lot of decorative pewter pieces in the 70s and 80s. Lots of great finds, Mr. C!

@cazzaa5012 Год назад

The kitchen trolley would look nice painted, another little project for you 😂

@unachow9023 Год назад

That metal plate is my favourite! Altogether great finds but then you have such great taste😊

@kithill6817 Год назад

When I grew up in London Ontario Canada there were two bi-annual days to clean up. You could put things out and people could pick it up before the garbage collection. I got a wonderful solid wooden table. Now here in Hawaii you can put outside or post on FB. I once put a TV outside, someone picked it up and then the next day returned it😊😄

@helentaylor4911 Год назад

With the embroidery hoop you could fit in a piece of material to make a wall hanging

@carliem9494 Год назад

Amaryllis - definitely indoor plant and they’re showy for a short while. Very popular back in the 70s/early 80s

@katfangtastic1420 Год назад

I'm spending the morning catching up on some of your videos and I am getting serious deja vu from spring 2020 when you were an integral part of my quarantine Sunday morning routine 🤗. I loved it, you brought a lovely cozy vibe and kept me and my banana bread great company!! I need to get back to this mellow Sunday am routine!

@mr.a. Год назад

Yes! Same here. Lockdown and Mr. C, was essential

@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854 Год назад

I like the pewter?? dish and the trolley...I agree to it being given a paint job too😁

@flohough1870 Год назад

Monsoon Home makes me think of Eddy on Ab Fab! LOL Great finds.

@traciewilliams4630 Год назад

Hi there , you can buy tension rods for the curtain idea you have for under your dresser top that you are planning to make , very easy to install and quite cheap !

@patti4785 Год назад

Lovely stuff, I particularly like the trolley. Where we live in Almería Spain there are different days for leaving stuff at the bins, I found a beautiful glass chandeliar perfect condition, it's hangs now in the pergola when it's sunny it glints I love it. Well done for saving these items ❤️

@heatherrobinson7291 Год назад

Your amyrillis shoud be kept inside (away from the kitties!) and once it starts to grow, you will see it get taller daily. It should grow to about 18-24" tall and have the most beautiful trumpet shaped flowers. Once it has finished blooming, cut the stalk and feed it. It can go outside over the summer but bring it in about September, cut off the leaves and put it in a dark cupboard until Christmas then start it all over again!

@163london Год назад

My mum and dad picked up a pretty little 2-seater sofa left out in the street just down from them, in Greenwich. It has wheels, so they just wheeled it home. Thet gave it a good wash and it came just fine.

@carolann963 Год назад

Hello, I think maybe the little white lidded cloud shaped container could be for soaking dentures.

@sophiaw Год назад

Great vid as always Mr C! You always seem to stumble upon treasure! Le Creuset being given away for free...in London?! I thought the Cath Kidston mug could be repurposed as a bird feeder.

@bf4744 Год назад

Cool idea. Hang it from the handle with twine or fishing line on its side and put bird seeds in it.

@mainchannelofarondomguy Год назад

with the round loop you can make an spring or Easter wreath for the door

@d.d.mac.3773 Год назад

That kitchen trolley was a gem of a find and will look fab when you redo it. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

@felixgarnet Год назад

The metal plate would reflect candlelight beautifully. 🙂

@debbiekimber8574 Год назад

The silver plate would look nice with 3 different size candles on it , take the plate hanger off because it will damage the plate 🌸🌸

@patbyrne5162 Год назад

Kings day in Holland ......although they do leave stuff outside to be taken all the time .

@annsmith4739 Год назад

Hi happy Sunday look forward to see what you’ve been up to ,you could stand a plant on the coasters .The plant just pop it in a bowl put soil around it an water once a week don’t water it to much .Love the plate it’s nice .have a good week lv Ann uk 💕💕💕🇬🇧🇬🇧

@ivyc7336 Год назад

Hi Mr. C! How interesting to see what you can find in other peoples dumpsters. Just goes to show ones trash is other peoples treasure right? Have you watched some dumpster diving videos in the U.S.? It's absolutely mind boggling what they find in the dumpsters of some pretty popular stores. Most are brand new, unused, not opened, &/or not even expired yet if it's food. Here in our neighborhood we have junk collection day once a month where folks put unwanted items outside their homes for collection. You definitely could grab things that catch your eye if you can beat the dump truck getting it. Thanks for sharing. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊❄☃️

@bf4744 Год назад

StevenSteph channel is a cool dumpster diving channel, and Taco Stacks is another cool one. He goes through neighborhoods and gets free stuff they leave on curbs.

@MsDawnnee Год назад

Amaryllis are an indoor plant. The Le Cruset mug was a nice find! The embroidery hoop would look lovely with a vintage fabric or embroidery inside it, hung on the wall. Great finds, my neighbours don't throw much out, but last year someone threw a Sony Handycam with a note saying "works fine!" I took it to Cex and got £49 for it!! Kerching! lol xxx

Amazing 🤩

I love the shelving cupboard that would be nice with baskets and fill them with veg .all nice bits my fave is the shelving

@jennylawrence9344 Год назад

Brilliant finds don't have this in my town but it's a jolly good idea especially if we could have a special day for this perhaps once a month. Love the trolley island it is going to look great painted up. Have a great weekend and week ahead. 😍

@loramiller5356 Год назад

Amaryllis bulbs are big in Texas for Christmas. You really found some cool finds. Have a great day.

@nataliesmith303 Год назад

The kitchen trolley is fab. Paint it white 😊 I didn’t find anything myself this week while in London. The Expresso cup was great too

@MrsL1211 Год назад

Some lovely items there! ❤️ Definitely keep the Amaryllis indoors, it won't enjoy our chilly winter weather outside 👍

@pb9401 Год назад

I just watched a video that called it stooping. There is a website where people post pictures of the items they are leaving out. I think it’s awesome that people are doing that.

@fip62 Год назад

Fancy throwing out a perfectly good Amaryllis!? 🤷🏻‍♀️. The trolley was also a great find. 👏

@melaniewest3947 Год назад

Great finds. I picked up some metal shelves I am going to use in my shed

@marjimcmillan9265 Год назад

Free is my favorite price! You found some amazing stuff.

@bellaszucs-zagoni9014 Год назад

In Budapest, people put things on the streets for others to take (furniture, food, decor), but it is illegal even though nobody cares.:) I saw the same in Berlin on the streets when we lived there.

@CherylsCreativeWorld33 Год назад

I can’t believe the things people were giving away! We don’t do it down where I live, I think it is a great idea, though people might be worried they’ll get done for fly tipping if they put stuff out. I put things in my drive with a sign on. Excellent finds!

@Angela-1974 Год назад

That kitchen trolley was definitely a good find, and I quite liked the little le cruset espresso mug 😎👍

@janmicallef415 Год назад

Really enjoyed this video. Yes here in Bath people leave items outside their houses. People tend to put on F/B if they have a lot of items just to get rid of. Love the plate, I would put the larger white pillar candles on that. The round embroidery thingy I used once in a property that I rented, there was a round peice of glass just stuck to the wall, made a surround for it using some artificial flowers, looked great and another loop I had I made into a big round photo frame to make a collage x

@rachelburge2338 Год назад

Hi i think the plates pewter 🙂 loved your kichen island gorgeous !!!! Well done 👏

@hillarygroundwell2807 Год назад

The trolley is a good find but I love the plate which could be an arts and crafts pewter plate

@TheYorkshirelady Год назад

Lovely Amarilis bulb, it’s for indoors and will be beautiful, shallow plant it and it will beautiful in spring, and I love the kitchen island, so useful. Well done. I must keep my eyes open. 😁

@spookygeek9459 Год назад

That is good, you surprised what people throw out. Thank you for sharing that. Take care keep safe all the family 👍😊

@lawriefoster5587 9 месяцев назад

The metal plate is made of what we call here in the States...Armetale. A composition of aluminum and other metals. Just wash with warm soapy water and dry right away. Would be about $65 new over here.

@elliesuttey1721 Год назад

I sometimes see the odd thing out where I live but not very often I must say. You certainly did well with your haul sweetheart the kitchen trolley is a great find x

@pamalou2084 Год назад

Good morning! Love your finds, it’s great when you get something for free. I once picked up an enamel jug that had seen better days and I painted a lovely design on it, now it has dried grasses in and looks fab! I think the embroidery hoop was a really useful find. Perhaps stretch a cloth over and it could house a collage of photos 🤔 love your channel 😊👋🏻🇬🇧x

@lucyroberts2800 Год назад

I’ve grown an amaryllis it is indoors and very easy to grow amazing to see such a huge plant come from a small bulb 😮

@johnmelissaziech6207 Год назад

The amaryllis bulb is a lucky find! It is definitely an indoor plant in your climate. It should get quite tall and will probably need some support. The flowers are gorgeous. Many communities in the US have a day, or week-emd, where everyone can put out things they don't want for people to take away.

@flowergalpower2681 Год назад

We can put stuff out anytime on the curb with sign free and usually people take it 🇨🇦 also we have a annual day to put big items out too.

@sophiegafney4597 Год назад

Some great finds Iwan! We have several neighbours that put out items for free and we have started doing it too. The Amaryllis needs to stay indoors. That little trolley will look great with a make over and that plate would look lovely with three different sized candles on it. Car boots are starting up our way soon. If you ever fancy a trip up to Colchester let me know. We have a huge car boot up here! Plus a few antique centres. Much love, Soph.x

@lully381 Год назад

Hello Iwan, ooh lots of free finds! Free is my fave price of all! I think lockdown opened up people's eyes with clearing out and began to put stuff out for free as they had no other way of getting rid of stuff. I had a sort out last year and put loads out, that most of it went. I live in a smalll village in Somerset and it seems to be a thing here too now! Metal poles by the way, Homebase or B&Q for future reference. That poor Amaryllis, it will have a new lease of life now and will reward you with a beautiful flower in no time I'm sure. There's that massive hoop again! I love that, be useful too if you were painting or drawing something on a tee shirt too! Think that metal plate is mostlikely pewter, That kitchen table/island thing will look great once given some TLC, a rub down and a wax or paint be great I think, that was a great find. Thanks for this Vloggy was most interesting, one mans rubbish has always been another mans treasure! Have a good week to come x
