It has been a kind of cool week in terms of getting my hands on free stuff. I was able to get a free dining table with three additional leaves from Craigslist. The guy threw in two wooden chairs, one very much an antique. He also gave me a globe on a fantastic metal stand. The globe is in sorry state...it is coming apart but based on countries on the map it is pre-1948....I was super excited about that one! Then I scored ten brand new silk pillow covers from Goodwill for a dollar a piece. I am going to use these for chair covers because I realize that recovering all the chair before the party just may not happen: Here are the newest finds (although I don't have pictures of the two wooden chairs):
I also had scored last year a nearly complete set of china for 12 on craigslist for $20! I couldn't believe it. I went to pick some piece sup and the gentleman said "we found some other boxes do you want those?" Of course I did! There were additional pieces, 14 tea cups and nearly all the pieces were perfect. There are some with a chip here or there but who is complain for what amounted to about .25 cents a piece....
I then found the matching gravy boat on Ebay for $2.99...how could I resist!!
