secret pleasures

One of my favorite activities is treasure hunting for vintage furniture and knick knacks. Every chance I get, I browse Los Angeles craigslist and Goodwill. Unfortunately, I (1) live in a small apartment and (2) do not own a truck and (3) have limited income, and thus am barred from buying everything I fall in love with. Therefore I will post a few of my recent finds from craigslist-- these are items that I would buy immediately had I any/all of the aforementioned criteria fulfilled. Just a sampling of a few favorites:

3. Adorable loveseat- $100



2. Shabby Chic huge mirror from Bountiful in Venice- $80. Can be stood on the floor or hung in a small room to make it look larger. Beautiful!

1. 1960s Thomasville Credenza- $275. Listing mentions existence of matching tables and chairs. AND it's on wheels... Be still, my heart! The round mirror is delicious as well, but I envision using this as sort of a TV stand rather than a vanity table, as shown here.



I just might call the people selling that last one... anyone have a pickup truck?
