Gleaning at the City Dump #33

It seemed like a fairly quiet day at the Metro Transfer Station.  I've only gone out to glean on one other Sunday a few weeks ago, and that was also a day with little trash to sort through. Nevertheless, this weekend turned up some more interesting finds:

Buttons, gathered by one of the spotters, and then given to me.  I left all of them for the other artists, except for some little jeweled buttons on the left side:

I cut the fringe off this old couch, leaving it in our work area at the far end of the bay for one of the artists:

I pulled off some of the vintage wooden decorations from this old chair:

I unscrewed these cool brass "pulls" from an old cabinet.

I left the Transfer Station in time to get over to my favorite food cart for a quick lunch...Carte Blanche on Hawthorne.  For those of you who don't live in the area, Portland might just be the "food cart" capital of the world...they are everywhere around the city...some of them good, some not so good.  Carte Blanche is one of the best I've found!

Their menu seems to change from week to week, but you can always expect big "gourmet" surprises.  Today, I had the Tido Tido!
