Three States Worth of Finds!

So this blog post covers three states! Yes, I found awesome stuff on our trip to Washington and Oregon this summer! So grateful that people have the dropsies everywhere I go. Here's to quirky vacation souvenirs.

Dog Poo Bag #1...Washington

Dog Poo Bag #2...Washington...bonus points for polka dots and lovely ferns!

Hello Kitty kite found on the beach in Pacific City...I made a young girl VERY happy when I gave this to her.

Dog Poo Bag #3...Oregon...bonus points for hydrants/bone graphics.

Dog Poo Bags #4,5,6...Oregon...I might have sounded like a crazy person when I gleefully and loudly announced my treasure.

Dog Poo Bag #7...back in Austin

Dog Poo Bag #8...cracked ground...yup, back in Texas for sure!

I found a dollar and gave it to a homeless man...told him, "I found it but I knew it wasn't meant for me." 

Dog Poo Bag #9

Dog Poo Bag #10

Dog Poo Bag #11

I found a hanger. These clean up great in the dishwasher, by the way.

Dog Poo Bag #12

I found a rainbow. :-) Maybe the treasure at the end of the rainbow is dog poo bags?

Dog Poo Bag #13

Found a bandanna. Washed it and it joined the rest of our bandanna "napkins".

I found a socket.

Dog Poo Bag #14

I found a t-shirt that I'm going to wash and donate.

Black and Blue, and Laundry, too

Somehow lately I've been all about black and blue. And I don't just mean the eight bruises currently on my legs that were caused by me doing who knows what (blood clot girl taking a baby aspirin a day problems). What I mean is that I've been finding black and blue stuff on my walks.

Post Laundered Found 

Black T-shirt and Blue Towel

And, yes, the blue shirt I wore today and my wonderful black dog.

Yup, those are the two poop bags tied to my fanny pack (fanny packs rock!!). Now I have a confession to make. I walk by a lovely walking buddy's home every morning on my way to work. For over a week now I've been noticing something blue at the base of one of her plants. Well, one morning I grabbed it to see what it was. It was a soggy blue towel tied in a double knot. I took a bag out of my backpack (yes, I carry an extra bag in my backpack...you never know when you might need one, right?) and tucked the soggy towel in there. That night I untied it, washed it, and a perfectly wonderful towel emerged. So now I have a mystery. Was it my friend's towel (of course I'll give it to her if it was)? Was it discarded by a passerby? Stay tuned....
