shelf $45 but know this thrift store they would have sold it for half that.

didn't come apart which i didn't like, but still an awesome 70's entertainment center.

transfering the rest of my craigslist finds

transfered from my tumblr and then if i have time before work i will post the items i found at the thrift store today.

why don't they have a picture of the fridge!?

$25 dollars for this desk. ughhhh why don't i own my own store?!

electric typewriter and insider tip!

this typewriter is a little too heavy for someone who just wants a novelty piece but you could always use it to prop up unframed pieces of art in the cracks of the keys.

now for the tip: this same typewriter can be found currently at fan thrift for $23. it comes in a black suitcase carrying case so it is hidden on the bottom shelf in the kitchen section. and the case is a lot cooler than the one listed on craigslist...for half the price. have at it! (i have a picture of it on my phone, maybe i will update with it)

this is cool and free!
craigslist free section. if used in a different way to house art and books and knick knacks this could be really awesome!


better typewriter:

awful picture, amazing medicine cabinet!

$5

see this pisses me off!

oh there is nothing that makes me feel as elated as when i get a great deal on a vintage item, knowing i got a steal. getting a vintage item for it's full valued price it sometimes worth it and all, but when i look at it i will always think "ugh i paid so much for that even though i love it." as opposed to the initial situation where i will always look at the item and think "god damn that was tight!" see what i mean?

now...to address the title of this entry, nothing pisses me off more than when craigslist sellers list their item title with "$1" and then give a different price in the body of the ad. ESPECIALLY when that updated price is 75 times the original listed price!!!

right this way:

what really gets me is that i have been looking for a metal cabinet with thin long drawers for some time now and when i saw the listing and then the picture i got this sudden rush of excitement and immediately went to copy the email link so i could ask to come pick that baby up. but somewhere in the process my eyes caught the $74 in the body of the ad and promptly wanted to tell someone off. so here i am. still on the internet. blogging about it.

i don't know why i have such an affinity for these things

i love all of these metal filing cabinets. i just think they look really clean and are interesting when place in a living room or anywhere but an office environment. i especially love how they are always under $15 and like this baby, often come in great colors!

this one does have very deep drawers though...my only complaint.

party favors

a while ago noah and i had a sticker swap party. i made sticker books out of blank cards, wax paper, twine, a big stamp, and some paint pen.

each person was given a sheet of stickers and their sticker book in a monogrammed bag. the sticker books say "stick with me."

i mentioned this party was a while ago. to give a time frame, there was also a christmas tree made out of suitcases at said party.
