My New Friend, Craig

In this age of digital relationships and online journaling, it's quite the phenomenon to also hold online garage sales. I've, as of late, made two purchases from Craigslist.com. Both have been exactly what I wanted--at a fraction of what the cost would be for new items.

Item Number One: A floor lamp great for shedding some light on those dark corners or snuggling under as you curl up with your favorite book.

Sold because: Seller received as gift and did not match interior style.

Priced at: $60-$70

Craigslist price: $25

Item number two: Round mirror, perfect for helping a room expand visually and for adding those classy little details to your home.

Sold because: Too heavy for seller's walls.

Priced at: 79.99 at Target.

Craigstlist price: $15


Last on our list is not a Craigslist purchase, but a well-deserved purchase nonetheless. We got Kevin's diploma framed! Nice, huh? :)

Mine is on the right; his is on the left, Magna Cum Laude sticker and all! :)

I LOVE Craig's list too! We are BIG fans! I'm so happy for your great finds! We got a free bbq off of craig's list- with a sink and rotisserie to boot! It just had a little glitch that Charley fixed... and good as new!

Also, I loved your post about your painting improvements around the house! VERY nice colors! We still have a lot of painting to do ourselves, but doesn't it make a difference?? Personalizing your home is SO fun! :)
