It took 5 minutes of garage sale-ing today for these.


(photo updated after cleaning)

6' Teak credenza.

*cough*

Ten dollars.

Please don't kill me.




A unisex playhouse. Not a dollhouse. No pink, no frilly curtains...just utilitarian Ikea furniture.

That playhouse reminds me of Playmobil. Remember them?

Playmobil is still around. They have the coolest stuff. I just wish they made everything in real-life sizes.

Ten dollars? Holy cow!

I just showed Jeff your last half-dozen or so garage sale finds. "We should hire her to go to garage sales for us," he said.

holy crap, ten dollars? you must live in garage sale heaven. the only stuff here is baby clothes and light-up pictures of waterfalls.

this world that you've been inhabiting
the world where such garage sales exist seemingly all the time
it kind of fascinates me
I had no idea such places existed
very interesting indeed

I'm shocked - they are WAY better than thrifting. Cheaper & usually cooler stuff.

I'm sorry, that credenza is almost enough to make me un-friend you!

SO UNFAIR!!

You would be paying $300 for that anywhere in the five boroughs!!!!!!!

I mean REALLY! Unfair, unfair, unfair.

July 24 2005, 04:05:01 UTC 6 years ago

I don't hate you, but I think I might be ill. And I mean that in the most friendly way possible, even as I seethe with jealousy.

Once I fix my budget I am so hitting the garage sales, goddamnit.

I think that is so cool that you got your son a little house! Some people would be so uncomfortable about that. I took an infancy and childhood class last fall and we talked about that.

I have been thinking about getting a sideboard and putting my tv on it and just filling the bottom up with my movies. My entertainment stand sucks.

When I first moved in my apartment I was buying stuff my mom would buy. Now since I have been on my own for a while I am finding my style outside of my adolescent room.
