Myrtle Beach, SC

Just so you know I am going to be completely random in my selection of places. I have chosen Myrtle Beach because a reader asked me to awhile back and I don't want to disappoint. So here's what I think are the best of CL in Myrtle Beach...

Antique Wheelchair $250  {brings new meaning to granny chic. made from a baby carriage factory as if the elderly person didn't feel demeaned enough. my grandfather would have been so hurt if he saw that. even up to his passing he was adamant about making sure we all knew he used to walk 5 miles to and from school every day, he was the star of his high school football team and he could go up and down a whole flight of stairs on his hands. sorry about that you weren't here to learn about my manly grandpa were you?}...

  5. You always find the neatest things.

    An antique wheelchair that doesn't exactly fold, but stretches made from a baby carriage company. Covering all their bases, I guess.

    Love the rug and the king headboard. $150 for a sofa isn't bad either.

  8. Great finds, as always! I wanted to ask if you might consider adding the feature where people can subscribe to your posts via email? That's how I get all my blog posts, including Fresh Quince.

    And am I remembering correctly that not too long ago, you mentioned yoverlong love any tips from other migraine sufferers? I get them frequently, a couple a week (I have a family history of them - thanks dad!) and within the last year I finally went to a neuro based on my primary dr's recommendation. Anyway, he's in Reston - not too far from you I think - and he is wonderful. Neurologists are an, umm, interesting bunch on the whole, but he's an exception. Anyway, if you'd like to see a specialist, his name is Dr. Reuben Citron. Good luck!

  9. I seriously love your new blog!! Fantastic Craig's list. I have done a couple of post on Craig's list, but I am not even close to touching you!! Unbelievable. Almost think it would be worth a road trip to SC!!! M.

  10. Oh my!!! I just found your blog and could NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! Those rattan club chairs $50 in Wrightsville Beach are MINE!!! I had the same ideas you did for them, unfortunately sometimes i get ahead of myself and I bought them without considering the cost of custom upholstery and I just have too many projects going on! Wish I could ship them to you!

  14. Thanks everyone for the kind comments and support...it's truly much appreciated!

    And it makes me so happy that at least one lady scored something from my post. Yay Mamon de trois petit rois...good luck with the upholstery and I hear you about way too many projects going on!

  15. Hey Danielle,
    I would love to post about your Craig's listing. It would be fantastic if I could time the post when your hit city is Birmingham, AL. Let me know if you are going to do one there soon! I know my local readers would be all over it. I get tons of hits when I do them in Birmingham, but I simply don't hold a candle to yours!! Mandi

  16. I was sooooooo excited to see your post on Myrtle Beach today, which was my request some time back!! I just found your post today (I'd love to get an email alert!!) a bit late. I am interested in some of the pieces and have emailed to see if they are still available. I'll let you know if I am able to score anything!! Thank you again Danielle!!
