I am a woman of few rules, though I try to be aware of the law. As for commandments, well, the big ten make a kind of sense to me. But some things in life make hardly any sense.
Take for example this new blog which crossed my radar via a polite email: Thou Shall Craigslist. Such a forceful name for such a sweet spot for finding some of Austin's vintage treasures, mainly of the home goods variety.
Of course, half the fun of Craigslist is to search and laugh at the listings, like cars that come with parts engines and caveats like "the parts engine comes WITH spark plugs", meaning that the engine in the car for sale does not.
Thou Shall Craigslist is like browsing in a vintage store, except each listing links to the original ad on Craigslist so one may contact the seller of whatever it is you're coveting. It's a public service, a good deed (on behalf of the seller), and if you love vintage furniture as much as I do, guilt-free browsing.
If you're in need of a light fixture or loveseat with tons of style and can't always afford to shop at Hogwild , do yourself a favor and browse the listings on Thou Shall Craigslist. Then offer silent thanks to the all-knowing, all browsing person behind this big bang.
