You've no doubt seen this photo heading up a post before...but that was over TWO years ago!  Click through to enjoy a Pro shot video (hey, I'll get there some day) and see some of the fantastic item you might find there as well as a wonderfully sung song (that I think we can all can relate to) by Jordan Phelps.

Not Much Happening Around Casa Modtomic...So I'll Just Have To Bore You With Another Look Around Another City's Craigslist. This Time Fayetteville Arkansas. Status: Not My Turf!

Downtown on Dickson

I noticed yesterday that fantastic designer Emily Henderson had posted her version of a Masdison craigslist scavenger too!  In the comments Laura asked if Emily might sift through Fayetteville Arkansas' craigslist and since I didn't have anything else to blog about...Oh, and there don't seem to be any "Greetings From" postcards out there on Flickr.

It's Been A Little While Since I've Done A "Not My Turf" Post. Here's One From Madison Wisconsin And There's Lots Of Good Stuff To Be Had. Status: Check It Out!

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin - Large Letter Postcard

Yes, Greeting indeed!  Why does it seem that the more northerly cities have more cool vintage modern?  Not that there's no good stuff in the south...why, Mr. Modtomic just dropped about 10 ads on the New Orleans craigslist!  Yup, shameless self promotion.  Anybody between StL. and NOLA need me to bring them anything around Halloween?!

While Tooling South On 127 Through Cincinnati Ohio We Stumbled Upon A Little Shop Full Of Vintage Modern Treasures Called Object By Modology. Status: Welcome Distraction.

Sadly, there just wasn't much by way of vintage modern to be had along the section of the 127 Corridor World's Longest Flea Market / Yard Sale that we managed to scavenge this trip. That's not to say I failed to fill a good portion of Franks back end, but when we spotted this joint, it was like a fresh of breath air!

Pickings Are Seemingly Slim Just About Everywhere This Time Of Year. I Think I Found Some Bargains In Portland OR Though. Wanna Take A Look? Sure Ya Do! Status: Not My Turf!

For you a rose in Portland grows. Greetings from Portland, Oregon

I haven't been finding too much on the StL. craigslist lately and a quick look through a number of other cities has left me wanting.  Thankfully, Portland Oregon came through with plenty of lovely bargains to show ya!

Today's "Not My Turf" Is Gonna Be A Little Different. Instead Of Choosing One City And Scouring Their Craigslist, I Looked Back At The Comment From A Post Asking For Suggestions I Pulled One Ad From Each Of Those. Status: Dozen!

IMGP0612 - dozen eggs
Whew, pickens are getting slim everywhere it looks like!  I guess it's the change of seasons, I'm not sure.  The STL doesn't seem to be suffering too much as I see and get messaged about great items every day still, but I not doing too much scavenging at the moment.  Still, when I look around at some other cities...it's not just falling in my lap.

An Anonymous Reader Asked A While Back If I Might See What I Could Find In Pittsburgh PA. Sadly I Forgot About The Request Until Yesterday! Sorry, But Here Ya Go Anonymous, Hope You're Able To Snag Some Good Stuff! Status: Not My Turf!

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Large Letter Postcard

I used to hang out with a buddy years ago who told me a story about getting drunk in downtown Pittsburgh PA and wandering around all night until dawn trying to find his lost car. Good thing he got so drunk! Wouldn't have wanted him finding that car. I myself have never been, so this story is all I know about Pittsburgh: It's hard to find your car when ya been drinkin'.  But we ain't lookin' for our cars...we're looking for vintage modern goodness.

So I Couldn't Find A "Greetings From" Vancouver BC Postcard But This Looks Pretty Welcoming! Wanna See What Their Craigslist Has To Offer Up For Stylish Bargains? Sure Ya Do! Status: Not My Turf!

Second Beach - Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Souvenir Folder

I got a a crazy notion to do a "Not My Turf" in London England...only to find that their craigslist, well...not to put too fine a point on it, but...it sucks.  I still wanted to do an across the border search so I picked Vancouver.  They got LOTS of contemporary modern and it takes some sifting to find the vintage modern AND at bargain prices.

Last summer the Girlfriend and I had the pleasure of spending our summer vacation in the North East but we didn't get This far up!  The Girlfriend actually used to live way up here for a while.  I've never been.  Maybe in a few years we'll make another trip this way and I'll get to see it all for myself.  Until then, I'll just check out their craigslist!
