Craigslist Monday: What’s a bargain hunter to do?

Try as I might, I couldn’t find anything on craigslist that I thought was worth featuring. I know, you’re hugely disappointed, right? But that’s the nature of bargain hunting. Some days you score big. Other days-nada!

So, what’s a bargain hunter to do when the normal hunting ground dries up? In my case crawl into bed with a hot cup of tea and some nyquil. And soup. Definitely chicken soup. Maybe the craigslist dry spell will end when my cold goes away.

But I’m not going to leave you empty handed… oh, no. Instead I’m going to point you off to a few great reads to keep you entertained:

• Have you been hankering for a large scale art piece? Jessica at How About Orange has a great tutorial for turning a large piece of fabric into a great wall hanging.
• Don’t feel like being crafty? Why not browse the Poppytalk Handmade Online Artists Market and buy some indie art instead.
• Budget decorating not taking up enough of your spare time? Visit Smith Magazine and begin a new addiction reading six word memoirs.

Finally, why not give your brain a little workout with some online scrabble at Scrabulous? (I warn you, this can be very addictive! Especially since you can play your friends via e-mail now as well…)

My bed is calling my dears… see you tomorrow! And don’t forget to check in Wednesday for the new “In the Trenches” interview.
