Flea Market Find
I was at our local Farmer's Market yesterday and spotted a flea market stand on the way out. I was looking for a full sized rocking chair for the nursery and spotted one. It was $50...too much for me. And then I saw this tucked way in the back. An antique children's desk with swiveling seat, ink-well and open top. Probably even more expensive than the rocking chair. I asked how much. The answer? Ten dollars.
I tried to play it cool, but inside my head I was screaming...are you Ca-Raze-Zay?!!Yeah. I'll take it.
Seriously. Can you believe it?
That's AMAZING!!! So stinking jealous of you right now!
ReplyDeleteOh no! My husband and I are chuckling out loud as our desks in elementary school looked just like this one. We must be antique, too :=) That makes us special, right?!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog as not only do you share wonderful ideas, darling pictures, but lots of spirit (personality wise, emotionally and spiritually!) Your posts always give me a lift and make me smile.
Thanks for sharing with us. And we do love the desk! So glad the price tag was just right, what a gift!
I love it! I would have absolutely lost my mind to get my hands on that desk, great job!
ReplyDeleteWe had one of these in my house. I loved doing homework on it as a child. Be careful, if the seat is two pieces of wood and the base gets loose it will pinch your bum! take if from me! I got pinched plenty! Awesome find. wonder if it's our old one? if you see TB carved in it....well
