Why by that? THIS is free!

Botanicals and vintage prints will always be in. You just cant go wrong. Well, unless you pay $295 for one.

Below is Williams Sonoma Home's Seaweed Prints. $295 EACH PRINT.

There are thousands and thousands of printables, for FREE.

Craigslist Pricing Fail.

I would love to know what alternate universe these people live in.


i'm going to do this post more often. there are too many.
