[FREE] Sunday's Pick

Can someone PLEASE get this:

70's Kitchen Table w/ Chairs

FREE

70's kitchen table with 6 chairs in excellent condition.

If I didn't already have dining room furniture that I love, I would be scrambling for the phone.  Yes, I do realize this set isn't everyone's taste but I love its obviously seventies looks and its awesome price. 

Please let me know if you snag this great deal so I can feature a photo of it on here when it settles into its new home.

Happy Hunting!

Tuesday's Picks

Here are todays picks from the Spokane Craigslist ads:


I like that this vintage craft table has an interesting linoleum top and it sure is the right price!

Vintage Kids Craft Table
FREE


We HATE to just junk this cool table, but we have no room for it, now that the kids are bigger. It is a very old, incredibly sturdy vintage kids craft table. It measures approximately 2 feet high by 4 feet long by 3 feet wide. It has cool, old linoleum on the top, sturdy wooden legs, and an aluminum edge. Very cool!


I think this little speaker dog thing is humorous and it's a good deal at $10.  Here is a comparable dog/speaker for $40: I- Dog Dance Black.

I-DOG I-POD MP3 MUSIC SPEAKER WITH LED LIGHTS & MOTION. 
$10












It's a little hard to tell but I think this could be a really cool, mid-century looking side table.

Night Stand
$15


















I recently acquired a similar Dooney and Bourke purse and I love it! 

Dooney and Burke Handbag Purse
$15 OBO


Dooney and Bourke all-weather leather handbag/purse. In excellent condition! 












Happy Hunting!

[Local Business] Celebrations

Hello Readers!

I hope you had a lovely weekend full of amazing bargains.  Today's post is a little different than usual but I couldn't bear to keep this great info from you. 

Sophie Setero over at Dime Days let her readers in on a yummy tip the other day, Celebrations, a local cupcake boutique, offers great deals to their Facebook followers.  Deals range from spontaneous happy hours when cupcakes are just $1 to FREE secret cupcakes on certain days. 

You can find Celebrations Facebook page here.  

I have already had the pleasure of sampling a FREE secret cupcake and it was delicious.   And for those of you that haven't checked out Sestero's Dime Days blog, it's definitely worth a peek!

Happy (delicious) bargain hunting!

Monday's Picks

Unfortunately, I didn't notice anything Valentine's themed on Craigslist today but here are some non-Valentine's goodies:


These look like fun cups and a pretty good deal for $10.  There are quite a few listed on Etsy at more expensive prices.

Bailey's Coffee Cups
$20


Set of 10 coffee cups from Bailey's Irish Cream. Those were sold in the mid 90's with bottles of Bailey's.
There are a few rare sets such as the "egg cup" style and the sugar and creamer.
These items are from a clean, non-smoking house. $20 or best offer. 




I don't think I have seen a dresser/desk like this before but I think it's a pretty cool use of space.

Dresser
$20


OLD DRESSER - I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 1965 - I AM MOVING AND DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT THIS TIME
HAS SOME SLIGHT WATER DAMAGE AND SOME OF THE VENEER HAS PEELED ONTHE TOP

I think this canister is just too cute.

Ceramic Canister/Jar with Lid

Neon Sign
Dinnerware

[Free] Tuesday's Find

As I mentioned in my previous post, I love the look of steelcase desks so when I saw this post for 3 free ones I got excited.  I emailed the poster asking for a picture because one was not included in the original post.  He was very prompt with his reply and here are two of the pictures I received:

I love them!  And if I had room in my apartment for one, I would grab it in a heartbeat but unfortunately I don't have room.  So here I am spreading the word about this great find in hopes that someone out there loves FREE steelcase desks as much as I do.

Here is the information from the original post:

3 Great, Refurbished Steelcase Desks 

FREE

Downtown

I am closing my office downtown and I have 3 great, refurbished, repainted steelcase desks. They are yours if you can pick them up and take them away.

Office is on the corner of Sprague and Howard. 

Take a look at the original post and get the contact information here:  FREE Desks. 

If you end up getting one, two, or all three of these, please send me a picture of them in their new home!

Happy Hunting!

[Portland Special] Monday's Finds

In honor of tonight's Ducks game I scoured the Portland Craigslist Free listings to put this post together.  I was happy (and envious of Portlanders) to find so many large FREE items.   I hope these items motivate you to search your own wonderful cities for previously adored treasures.

I think this older Ethan Allen dresser, desk, and nightstand would be a rewarding project, after some refinishing you could have some great pieces of furniture!

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!
