I made the mistake of combining these next two words on Craigslist this morning:
Free
&
Ikea
Last week, I purchased some orange & red decor off Craigslist, and this "gently used" rug was included.
("Gently used," my ass!)
Who knew so many people were interested in or in need of a 5'7"x6'7" hand-woven wool rug?
Yeah, I mentioned the weird stains and the slightly-beyond repair torn fringe on one of the corners.
I also described the ugly yellow-gold color and cat urine smell to match.
I sincerely believe that the words "free" and "Ikea" negate anything I just typed.
My inbox was instantly filled with requests to pick it up.
A woman even offered $10 for me to hold it for her until she could get off work!
Here's a (somewhat) accurate drawing of said rug:
(You're lucky they haven't come out with smell-o-vision for computer screens yet.)
