Listed District’s Phenomenal Finds Vol. 25 – Stools and Such

Ellen Richardson, a graphic designer and Pleasant Plains resident, recently took her Craigslist hunting skills to the next level with the launch of her blog, Listed District. Listed District offers daily DC Craigslist findings of everything from Mid-Century and Industrial furniture, to bikes and the utterly strange.  Every week Ellen is going to share a roundup of some Phenomenal Finds with PoPville.

If there’s one thing thing that I am in danger of having too much of, it’s vintage seating. When searching for the perfect barstools for our island, I was seeing so many single, unique stools that I finally gave up on the idea that they should all match. And, besides that, four matching barstools (that aren’t hideous) are next to impossible to find on CL! We now have an Emeco stool, a Toledo stool, and a vintage swiveling dentist’s chair all lined up neatly at the bar – and I’m still searching for that perfect fourth addition. The mismatched set always makes for a great story, and each of our friends has their favorite stool which they claim at every visit.

Perhaps today’s Listed District finds will help you get started on your mismatched seating collection. Happy Hunting!

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
