Six solid finds on Craigslist - March Madness

If traditional online shopping has your pocketbook in a pinch, you may be familiar with a  little friend o' mine: Craigslist.org.

If you also happen to be one of the seven people on the site not looking for apartments or one night stands, there are some solid finds to be had. I've pulled a few pieces you might be interested in, and hope you'll send along a few you like.

I skipped the guillotine since it looked, uh, pre-used - but if that's your thing, just search for it. 

Happy shopping!

If you ich spreche ze Deutsche and have a fondness for kitsch, head out to Cedar Lake and check out this wonderfully weird German Barmaid wine rack, which holds two bottles of wine and two hanging glasses and a serving tray. Ain't she pretty? ($60)


I'm not familiar with Sevron, but a quick search tells me it's America's Distinctive Dinnerware. I may not be very distinguished, but I think this blue lace China would be perfect on an Easter table. ($65 for 46 pieces)


Maybe I'm still reeling from St. Patrick's Day, but I'm obsessing a bit about this gold leaf drink set, probably a leftover from the 1950s. They look margarita-ready - perfect for patio dining, no? ($30)


If you're a history buff or a romantic, you may be interested in these frameable letters from Alburta Baldwin to Captain Eugene Baldwin. Though he never received these sealed-with-a-kiss letters, donning your walls with her well wishes may bring some of the love from her to him, to you and yours. 


It's not my particular style, but this 1960s dress from the timelessly overpriced Saks Fifth Avenue has finally gone on sale. It's silk, chiffon and size 8. ($45 - photo is from back)

Whether you want to gather your friends around for some ivory tickling or just frame something kind of cool at Christmastime, this original sheet music and jacket set of Frank Sinatra's "Let it Snow" may be an interesting add to your collection. ($45)
