[Seattle Special] Friday's Finds

I wasn't planning on doing a Seattle focused post so soon but after coming across these FREE chairs on seattle.craigslist.org I just couldn't help myself.  

Post:

2 black leather office chairs in excellent condition. 

FREE

They have wood arm rests and metal legs. I need them gone by today and they are both yours for FREE! 

Find contact information and original post here: please get these free chairs!

It didn't take me long to  publicly declare my love of all things ice cream so is it any surprise that I think this is a good deal? I also think that this is the perfect excuse to eat ice cream while still keeping a New Years resolution to exercise!

Classic Hand Crank Ice Cream Maker

$5

This is an older model hand crank Ice Cream Maker. It is a wood basket with all the parts you need to make your own ice cream minus the ingredients. It does have the directions as well. Hasn't been used in a few years but worked well the last time it was used. Still have the original box as well.

Aren't gliders standard for every baby room in America?  A quick Google search revealed that its hard to buy a new one for under $100.  If you got this one you would get to customize it with a cushion you like!

Lu's Spokane Craigslist Finds

It is a hobby of mine to search local Craigslist postings to see what is available for free or for under $20.  This hobby has taught me that there are many useful, beautiful and unique items out there for cheap.  Since it is not reasonable for me to buy all of the great things I find on Craigslist, I started this blog to share the finds with others.  It is my hope that the items I feature on this blog will help others understand the value in buying local, pre-owned items and maybe even help someone find that perfect item they've been searching for.

I will be sharing items listed on http://spokane.craigslist.org since I currently live in Spokane with the possibility of including fabulous finds from other local sites or Craigslist areas. 

I would love to see your Craigslist finds so please share in an email or a comment.  Feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.

Happy hunting,

Lu
