Yard Sale Season
I can't resist a good yard sale and the season is here! Usually on Saturday mornings we gather at our favorite spot for breakfast before combing the town for a good sale. A few weeks ago we were out to find carpet for our bedroom and came upon a huge yard sale, I almost passed it but quickly turned around, my left eye spotted a old desk. I've always wanted a little desk in the kitchen for all my recipes and now I have one for the fair price of only $5.00! I was thrilled and since it was my birthday that weekend, hubby couldn't say I didn't need it. It fits right in my new kitchen and once time allows, I'll fill it with all my recipes for a central station. One woman's trash is another's new treasure, money well spent and a great birthday treat for myself! Don't you just love the season!

Great find! Wish I had your kind of luck. Are you going to paint it or anything or leave as is? Would love to see the "after" picture if you do something to it.

It must be a fun season. We don't have them back here in India.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Sue! What a find! You NEEDED that desk. I love how you're using as a little kitchen center. How perfect. I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWe went to a couple of nifty garage sales in your neck of the woods, back in the 90's. Your desk is a great find. Absolutely perfect and what a bargain!
Hope you're doing well settling in!
Have a wonderful week.
I'm celebrating my 200th post.

Great old desk, Sue. You could paint it or not. It looks so primitive as is.
