I can't come up with a name for what I did this AM. I had appointments with a couple people as well as a stop at the recycle plant for our county......
Everything I picked up was free. So, it really isn't shopping....but what is it exactly? Certainly better than yard sales, as there was no money spent!
I got the back of my van full of paint, not exactly the color I was remembering it was, this seems darker. But, when something is FREE, it is amazing just how fast I can change my mind! 
This is exactly the color I want to paint my house. At least, I'm going to paint a sample swatch somewhere, and look at it for a bit. If it is really too dark, I'll mix some white into the whole batch. I also picked up a big bucket of white........as well as a great green to give some life to my bedroom.
I had a response re; my Wanted post for sheet rock, so stopped and picked up a couple half sheets. Now, I just need to collect the tape & mud stuff, as well as figure out how to texture the patches when they are finished. When this project is done, I'll head back to town and get some more of the FREE paint to liven up this all white place I bought.
Picked up my FREE plants too....... 2 huge sacks of Iris; plenty to share a bag with my mom this week end.
Heading to the garden, to get busy! No kids for almost 2 hours, an infrequent luxury for me!
What To Call......... Free 'Shopping'

I think we may need a name for it too! Put that question to the Forum.

We have hand-me-down iris that originated in my husband's grandfather's gardens, spent a bit of time in his parent's garden, were divided and now are in our gardens. They are just starting to bloom for the season. We love our free iris (and peonies, lilies, hosta, rhubarb...!) A garden network is a good thing!
