Checked for coinage.. Ha! Sounds like a bargain.
Good luck with selling it! LOL
I hear you can sell ANYTHING on craigslist! Well done, your Magpie!!
I love "checked for coinage"...wonderful write, Phil...
A bargain for the true sofa connaisseur. :-)
"Moss-red" is great! And the scrupulousness about the flared arm, the C alliteration, and the loop from adorable-to-available.
I'll buy it! oh ... but I need transport. Do you have a skateboard?
Surely there will be takers?
So, do you list much on Craig's List?? Very well done. I, too, liked your line, 'checked for coinage'.
Persuasive sales-pitch. Good Magpie
Fun idea!
hmm...how much coinage? will be right over. smiles.
Sold to the highest bidder.....love this Phil!!!
Very clever. Love the "moss-red patterned..." and the coinage. Thank you.
Some good thinking gone into this. Impressive.
Checking for coinage - sofas are excellent piggy banks in times of need!
