• Rockin' Retro

  I'm usually not into contemporary furniture, but I think this rocking, lounge chair is a nice accent piece. The red, faux leather upholstery gives it a retro flair--a nice touch. Plus, the seller is letting it go for only $15!    --Olivia  Posted Aug 14 2008, 10:15 AM by Olivia With no comments

• "Packing Peanuts for Sale"

  If we had an "Ad of the Week" feature, this ad would be this week's winner. I love the seller's short, emphatic statements. Plus, the line arrangement reminds me of poetry. Mostly, though, I love the picture posted with the ad! The strange and the practical--we have it all!  --Olivia Posted Aug 05 2008, 05:22 PM by Olivia With no comments
