Last week when it was clean up week and I was out dumpster diving I was talking to a neighbour who was moving. She told me she had an old desk she wanted to sell. So I went in to look...and $200 later came home with this old Secretary! I love it! I was so pleased....but as you can see I havent found a place for it yet. We have worked so much in the yard my house is really suffering...what a mess!
Here it is open and as you can see Harley has to investigate everything! he was getting ready to settle into the little cubby for a nap.
I have been participating in the Prim Pals monthly exchanges and this is a pic of all the goodies my first pal (Stella from Stellar creations) sent me! She spoiled me with a covered box she made,lots of candles and soap and scented rose hips,a little tea pot,wax tarts and of course a rooster! Thanks Stella I love everything!
If your interested in joining check out the Prim Pals Blog or Forum....lots of fun!Well Im off to bed....long day of fence building and cleaning in the yard and gardens. Pics of all that soon! Hugs to all!

Lilacs are so beautiful & smell so good. Mine had only one bloom. This was the first year for it. Your desk in wonderful. Looks like kitty thinks so to.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty for sure.
ReplyDeleteOur lilacs have been done for weeks. The heat just does them in but they are my absolute favorite. In fact, for Mother's Day, Mike put in 7 new ones in a hedge row by our back fence. I am really looking forward to their sweet aroma and different colors next spring.
Hey--that Harley has good taste-LOL
