Now Craigslist pit stops!!! By the way nice finds, I dig the credenza it has legs like a Kroehler dresser I spotted recently and I also dig the small desk.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646463582447530152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-81867168546218545542012-03-19T12:26:54.695-05:002012-03-19T12:26:54.695-05:00For the lazy people out there... and here's th...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78131921@N03/6997195021/" rel="nofollow">For the lazy people out there...</a> and here's the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/78131921@N03/6851070160/" rel="nofollow">other one.</a> Nicely done Stacy!Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-69940899117707411272012-03-19T12:08:32.365-05:002012-03-19T12:08:32.365-05:00Sure-these are just the pictures from the ad.

I'll do a quick look through of the usual suspects such as Retro, Danish, Mid Century, Midcentury (it makes a difference in the craigslist search engine), Vintage, Wakefield, Heywoodwakefield (if the seller puts a dash between the two words, this is what the search engine sees...and it won't see just Heywood or Wakefield), Eames, Etc. But I find most of the best stuff by just searching without any keywords at all. Like I've said before...I might get something cheap...but I "PAY" for it!Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-44635975633484498972012-03-19T11:40:16.732-05:002012-03-19T11:40:16.732-05:00HI Stacy.

Are there certain keywords you use, vintage, retro, etc? What about those items that don't use the popular keywords? Do you just happen upon them? <br /><br />Although I resell, I typically use CL to find yard sales and furniture for my own home.The Thrifty Picker - Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959045745108787020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-37032277384210428222012-03-19T10:30:29.057-05:002012-03-19T10:30:29.057-05:00I have to tell someone who can appreciate it what ...I have to tell someone who can appreciate it what I found on Saturday. While everyone was out shopping (like I usually am) I saw an ad for "unique metal wall hanging" under household items. It didn't say "retro," "vintage," or "modern," so I don't know if anyone else even called about it. I now have a drool worthy Marc Weinstein metal wall sculpture, for $25. It is definitely my craigslist find of the year!Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-16544270313069765922012-03-19T09:54:02.687-05:002012-03-19T09:54:02.687-05:00It does look very similar to the Perception line, ...It does look very similar to the Perception line, but I think it might be something else.
