Every morning I have a routine, I log on to my e-mail and Blogger, browse my favorite blogs and browse Craigslist! Why you ask? Because there's no telling what treasures I might happen upon! People are constantly getting rid of incredible antiques as well as Art Deco, Retro, Vintage and Danish Modern pieces... And usually, it's for a great bargain!
Anyway, since I find so many great listings it's impossible for me to take advantage of each and every one (although if I had enough money I'd buy everything I liked and open a store! - some day). So, what I do is share the link to the ad on my Facebook page; however, what I should be getting into the habit of is doing daily or weekly Craiglsit Finds postings right here on Inspire Bohemia! Unlike Apartment Therapy, I don't have colleagues to contribute item finds from other major cities, so for now it will just be Craigslist finds from Miami.
In the past I have done special scavenging/hunting/searching through other Craigslist cities for friends, upon request. Therefore if you are one of those people who doesn't have the a) time, b) patience and/or c) desire to look through never-ending Craigslist listings just to find some treasure but you'd still like to take advantage of such opportunities, feel free to e-mail me with what you're looking for and I'll do my best to source out some options for you in your city. I enjoy doing this and I have a good eye for great furniture and decor so I've decided to donate my services to anyone out there who doesn't want to do it themselves....until the demand becomes too much (if it does that is).

For those of you in Miami, I hope you see something you like and if so - GOOD LUCK getting it! It's a first come first serve kinda thing and not everyone has the patience for it, you gotta e-mail or call the seller as soon as possible to see if their item is still available, but believe me it's usually worth the effort!
