Tuesday's Picks

Since moving back to Seattle, I have been helping my contractor dad tidy up his workshop. I put a free table out front and we have been adding items to it pretty regularly.  It has been really fun to watch people stop to check out the items.  Things move a lot faster than I would have guessed.  Who knew there was a demand for used roof waterproofing and driveway patch....I should have known, we are in Seattle after all.


There are a lot of great local finds on the Seattle CL today.  Here are my favs:


Free!


I really like these canisters.  For $15 I think they are a pretty good deal. (Better pictures can be viewed by clicking on the photo below)


Owls are hot right now. We can all agree on that, right?  Save yourself some dough by buying your owl salt and pepper shakers locally. Here is a set listed for sale online.  And here is a similar set available locally and for less:


I loved playing Candy Land when I was younger!  Here is a vintage edition available in Ballard for $5:


This looks like a nice IKEA chair to me and it costs about as much as just the gas would be just to drive to IKEA:


This is hands-down my favorite pick of the day..maybe even the month...maybe even longer. If I had a place to put this I would have bought it already.  It's beautiful and only $10.  If you buy it, please send me a photo so I can be insanely jealous.

LOTS of Wednesday Picks

In an effort to make up for my lack of posts recently I have compiled my favorite Seattle-area CL picks over the last few days and am sharing them ALL with you! As usual, all are $20 or less (some are FREE!).  Click on the photo to be taken to the original CL ad.


I love the colors on these portable file boxes.



I think this chair has such a classic worn look.

I think everyone should have a clothes drying rack and this one if only $3.



I think this is a great looking end table for a good price.

[Ballard] Friday's Picks

Hello!  I am ashamed to see that it has been almost a month since my last post.  A lot of changes have been made since I last wrote...as of now, Lu's List has moved to Ballard!  As a tribute to Lu's List's new home I am featuring items located in Ballard from the Seattle CL.

I love arc lamps and if you have searched on Amazon for them, you can believe there aren't any available for $20.

Brown Arc Floor Lamp 1970's 
$20
Ballard

I bought this floor lamp at Space oddity a few years back. It is brown enamel, stands 59" high and 32" at widest points.
Though it's time for us to part ways, I will miss it and I hope it finds a good new home!









This leather recliner is just about exactly the type of item I would expect to find in Ballard and I like it!

Comfy Brown Leather Recliner
$20
Ballard

***Price Reduced***

Soft and comfy, with few small tears. ~ 34 in x 29 x 34 (when not reclined). Reclines and returns to normal position easily and smoothly. Comes from non-smoking non-pet home.

Cash Only. Must pick up from Ballard.






I am so bummed I can't go to this garage sale, I have to work, otherwise I would be outside their door at exactly 10 am on Saturday.

Vintage Modern Partial Estate Sale 5/21-22
Ballard

Vintage modern sale in Ballard May 21st and 22nd. 10-5pm Sat; 10-3pm Sun.
