There was a free store in Hudson NY when I lived there, and I won't tell you what I got, because I don't want to make you jealous, but let's just say that it nearly made living in the middle of nowhere worth it.g/dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384227784049411560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-17141846880870942132009-04-01T07:10:00.000-07:002009-04-01T07:10:00.000-07:00of course, of course!

I'm sure many of those islands do, considering the plenitude of hippie-era residents that abound.<BR/><BR/>But I love that this idea has resurrected itself here in NYC!

I've gotten some of my favorite pieces of furniture out of it and today I gave back by leaving a lamp there.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. Unlike them, I haven't abandoned the city and I really really enjoy free stuff :-) <BR/><BR/>One question, is this one open only on the weekends? or all week long?One Bride with Broomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15631234893314808360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-38858992865696988152009-03-31T08:01:00.000-07:002009-03-31T08:01:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.starry and in lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564432851519026945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-49262880758908701882009-03-31T07:25:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:25:00.000-07:00We have a sort of "free store" in the entryway of ...We have a sort of "free store" in the entryway of our apt. building. My neighbors and I leave our giveaways down there and every day it's a new mishmash of random crap. I've obtained a few cool cardigans and even rid myself of an old IKEA lamp that way.<BR/><BR/>Every time I show up to work in something new and eclectic my boss says, "Umm... I see you've been shopping at The Teasedale again."<BR/><BR/>So what? I've got a wedding to pay for! I'm poor! It beats having stare-downs with hipster kids over last season Anthropologie skirts at Buffalo Exchange.<BR/><BR/>I think I'm ranting again.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633056996927758780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-27927330008741643072009-03-31T06:46:00.000-07:002009-03-31T06:46:00.000-07:00Wowie zowie.Wowie zowie.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899239356088557995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-20457518394274087742009-03-31T05:39:00.000-07:002009-03-31T05:39:00.000-07:00There used to be a hilariously busted Free Store i...There used to be a hilariously busted Free Store in Williamsburg.
