THE GENIUS OF CRAIG

What a smart smart man he must be. Sitting in his apartment a few years ago and thinking "Wow wouldn't it be nice if people could buy, barter or even just give away their stuff." Why yes I think that is a fabulous idea. And we have been lucky enough to take advantage of his genius here and there, buying and selling. However, today's purchase has to be the most exciting and favored of our dealings. But first a little back story. We finally found a great rental home and as we have barely any furniture we have been making the rounds to the local furniture stores. Well at Cost Plus World Market we found some stuff we really liked including a large picture. Now it is rare that the husband and I agree on art, we have similar but not exactly the same taste. That whole colorblindness thing gets in the way, haha love you honey. Unfortunately this picture was mildly pricey and as we have more need for dressers, desk etc. than art it was put on the "wanted but not needed just now" list. But being me, I came home and decided to check out craigslist.org and see if any of the stuff we like was on there used. Nope, not the dresser. Nope, not the bed. Nope, not the desk. Nope, not even the bookshelf. But wait, what's that... the picture!!! Yep, the picture. So this morning we drove up north and SCORE!!! The picture was ours and for about 40% of what it cost in the store. Oh yes, that is the genuis of Craig. Only three more weeks and we can move in and hang it, yay!
