My World: I should have my own One King's Lane

You know, the flash-deal site? I think I posted a while back about my coffee table. I took forever to decide what I wanted. I am skeptical about occasional tables (I suspect they multiply in the dark), and I try, in general, to acquire things for our home that I think will significantly enhance the way we'd like to live our lives. The living room was just coming together; the last element, I decided, was game night, which we love hosting. So I set out to find an antique game table with room in it to store lots of board games. It turns out that these are generally 30" tall, and would not work as a coffee table. Then I found an antique (not just vintage - it's quite old) wooden trunk at my favorite junk store for $60. It had a flat top, and lots of room for board games. After some debate, I bought it. (And it has been perfect.) I didn't recognize the type of wood. Then a week or so later I saw an "antique camphorwood campaign chest" for sale on One Kings Lane. The wood grain was identical to my chest. I don't remember whether the price was $1599 or $2599, but it was one of those two. And somebody bought it.

This is why I should have my own One Kings Lane. Except I probably wouldn't have quite as much stuff. And a slightly smaller percentage would actually be from Morocco. But I would mop the floor with them on the prices.

So, without further ado, here is the misfit's flash sale collection for today. If anyone else is entertained by this idea, feel free to steal it - I already did! I'd love to see what other people come up with (so let me know if you join in, please!).
