We have one like that at home and make home made wine every year for Passover. All it takes is grapes, sugar and lots of sun.

New Yorkers are perfect for such a social experiment/ marketing ploy and I'm jealous of the fantastic find... that chair is great fun!<br /><br />My mom had a serious knack for dumpster diving, and my dad would just accept her crazy ways. I love a good bargain, and have no problem with the previously-loved finds, but just hate the search. I check our Goodwill first most times, but then lose patience with hunting for that "just right" item and order online instead. *sigh*Tisrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075045361304027492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-28156557932281249772010-05-27T11:00:07.448-04:002010-05-27T11:00:07.448-04:00That is a funny article.

I had a friend who was a missionary in Japan and he said the trash their was amazing because you could find perfectly good stuff in the trash and expensive stuff because their the people love to have new. I don't know if this is still the case. You wouldn't find anything good in my trash.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-7562633570017978722010-05-27T05:41:03.169-04:002010-05-27T05:41:03.169-04:00All that we have, about a dozen have come from dum...All that we have, about a dozen have come from dumpsters. I drag them out to the terrace and put candles in them. I cut the top of a plastic water bottle, fill with a little sand, add the tea light and then stick the neck of the plastic bottle in the glass bottle. Works well. Keep watching that dumpster more might appear.Marthahttp://friendsandfamilyinitaly.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-78580387621411922422010-05-27T03:53:52.748-04:002010-05-27T03:53:52.748-04:00We inherited a cellar full of those in various siz...We inherited a cellar full of those in various sizes!
