Thrift stores, couches and more

When we saw our flat first time, it was almost empty... The girls living next door got at least an air bed and a table with 2 chairs.... We got nothing:)

But our wonderful landlord Kyle promised us some stuff. We got a TV, which is probably a 100 years old ... And we got a table with 2 chairs from next porch... well don't ask if somebody misses it...I honestly do not know:(
The positive thing is we came almost as the first students...So we got what we wanted from the kitchen stuff. Lets just say, we wanted almost everything:) Sorry people coming after us:))))

But what I missed the most was something to make our living room like a living room:) So I was bugging Kyle/our landlord/ to get us a couch. And when we were going to work we saw one:)

Ok I admit it was a couch left in a street... So what...It was still a couch. So when Kyle came to pick us up to go to thrift store/ a store that sales old and used stuff) we asked him if we could get it inside. After he inpected it with his trained eye:) for bed bugs, we carried it for like 100 meters. Thanks god there was a guy who helped us to carry it over the stairs and doors. They even got the couch legs down... Well but after all we have a livingroom looking living room:) It is tru we do not really have a table for the kitchen part, but hey we have to work with what we have:)

The thrift store visit was really great. After moving the couch we were up for lamp hunting:) The store was quite big, filled with crazy stuff... Let just put it mildly and say Kyle loved it. He found a lamp with 3 Jesuses on it, and one with a big eagle. He was really proud of himself... But he was really really happy when he got our lamp for only 99 cents:) That is what I call a DEAL:))))

Well we also saw radios from 50ties and used hair extentions and baby lawn movers or stuffed toys. I will probably go there to buy some presents for home. What do you say?:)

yes, do at least some photos, sounds great fun and attach them ear. If you find a nice wooden dangle arm chair, let's say for 2 dollars, it would be lovelly...hope the transport won't be a problem, I will pay you, I promise...
Enjoy the new couch.
