Local Ads Made Me Happy

When I first moved to Georgia almost six years back, we had enough furniture from our old house in Maryland to make a small dent in our new house that was about twice the size of the other one.

So it was pretty bare at first. But then I found an amazing local resource called The weekly Iwanta which was the local place to buy and sell classified ads. It was terrific. You could both buy and sell used stuff pretty cheap and because we lived in a fairly small town, the farthest place was never more than about ten minutes up the road.

And also because the decor style of my old home was fairly different and my taste had evolved--I had gone with a garden centered theme there but had grown weary of it--some of the previously acquired furniture had to go (and fast) if I was to afford anything new. Because I had an awful lot of space to fill.

Of particular interest, I ended up getting rid of my old worn dining table and chairs and finding something new/used that I fell very in love with. It was a happy ending thanks to local ads.
