Day two drop-offs setting a new record! And it's only mid day! (Did I mention we had another pile from yesterday that I already moved inside?)

Kingston, you are amazing. So incredible that so many of you are keen to see your items reused in the community and took the time to donate, sort and share!

Now...on to the sorting.

Hope to see you all tomorrow to re-home all of these treasures. I've been peaking inside some bins, and trust me, you don't want to miss this!

Pay what you can sale is May 9th, 9-1 at Rideau public school, 9 Dundas st.

Pitch in Kingston!

All this on one block by the kids school. If everyone gathers a few pieces Kingston streets and parks will be all spruced up and ready for spring!

Found this little guy in the gutter (wait until the end!), rescued and ready for the Tiny Toy swap after a tiny toy spa day with an extra long soapy bath.
