Introduction

I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Like most big cities it's great for trashpicking. You wouldn't believe what perfectly good en beautiful stuff I've found over the years. So I'd like to share some of it with you. Be amazed!

But not buying it is also a statement tot not feed the crazy commerce that's using up the Earth's resources. Occasonaly I stll keep an object, but I'm mostly happy with all I have and live a simple life. New clothes and gadgets do not make it better!

Why do so many people still believe that? I don't know. But this blog now focusses on the no more wanted superfluous stuff that I've found new destinations for after all.

And I hope it will help you to think about that.
