I love Craigslist!!!

It's no secret how much I love craigslist. I love a good bargain and I love it when you get something even better than you hoped for. I decided to sell our table because the chairs were not very sturdy and I wanted something that would fit a little better in our place in Indiana.

This is our old table that I sold for $150


This is our new table that we bought for ........$150!
It is so sturdy and VERY heavy. It also pulls apart and has a leaf that unfolds to make it bigger.
What do you think? Upgrade?

Wooohooo! Don't you love it when things work out perfectly? The new table is lovely and the fact that it can expand is perfect for later. Congrats on a very good trade up.

Hi! I'm catching up on blogs. I haven't read a blog (except my own) for the last month, so it is nice to hear how you're doing. You are probably heading to Indiana soon. ENJOY!! I can't remember if I already told you this--I served part of my mission in Indianapolis, and Kevin's grandparents were from Indiana & southern Michigan (and Kevin's dad went to Purdue), so we've been around Indiana a time or two. It's green and full of corn. LOL Anyway... glad Molly's tubes are okay (better). I love your craigslist find, too!! I had to laugh when you said the chairs weren't very sturdy because that is EXACTLY the same table and chair set we had and one by one over the years the chairs came apart! They were awful. (We kept the table but bought new chairs.) Anyway, I love the new set you got. Pretty!!!

Can I say you are the Queen of Craigslist!! I love the new dinning table and chairs. What a great deal!

Janell said...

Well done, Sarah!

Sarah said...

Amen!

Sarah said...

And I know I've told you this before but I LOVE reading Janina's comments! I can totally picture her saying them. Brings a smile to my face every time...

Sara said...

You are one who inspires me!! I LOVE your new table! And love you didn't pay a dime for it!

Unknown said...

Love the new table! Total upgrade. It's so much fun having new stuff!

Emily said...

Awesome! The new dining set is absolutely beautiful. Craigslist has been my life's blood these past few weeks in preparation for our move. We had to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Looking forward to your updates on your new life.
