That's awesome! That's kind of how it was with my desk too. One day we were out and about and - serendipity! - there it was at a store that was liquidating. We got it for an amazing price. Love it when that happens! Enjoy your find.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260474823266276024.post-23887159711818550452012-03-15T20:37:59.452-04:002012-03-15T20:37:59.452-04:00I love solid, old furniture.

If it were up to me, I would have nothing but old furniture, but my hubby likes new things. They just aren't made to last. I'm happy your dream of the perfect desk came true!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260474823266276024.post-9877566179844640112012-03-15T17:34:02.569-04:002012-03-15T17:34:02.569-04:00It's a beautiful desk!

I bought a small roll-top desk when we moved this time and it's OK but not nearly big enough to enjoy sitting at. It hold the bare essentials but nothing else. If I had room, I'd have one of those desks again. I've seen them for sale for around $50 here.<br /><br />Great find and congratulations!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028107053575111027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260474823266276024.post-43950951898595104522012-03-15T11:59:43.576-04:002012-03-15T11:59:43.576-04:00LOVE IT!!

I'm also vertically challenged...it's a stretch to say that I'm 5'2. I've heard it said somewhere that short people rarely win negotiations.

The color is gorgeous and it looks so solid and ready to go to work for you.<br /><br />I've encountered that some- where the men respond better to a man because a woman probably doesn't know what she is talking about. Good grief.<br /><br />I wish you many hours of creativity, peace, and organization at your new desk.

This was the perfect blog post, Jenn...You kidding? This was the perfect blog post, Jenny! I loved it. It's filled with valuable lessons. For one thing you demonstrated the power of coming from intention. I swear that if you program your brain on the way to the crowded mall there WILL be a great parking space waiting for you. You also told us that you felt like shopping for things other than food because you were experiencing happiness. It's so true. When you are depressed you can't think of a single thing to do that would bring an ounce of joy. When you're happy you feel like experimenting, exploring and hunting for treasure in places off the beaten path. Another truth revealed in this post is the unequal treatment that women receive from male workers at places like auto repair shops. Your experience at Goodwill would have made an excellent hidden camera investigation on NBC Dateline. I can picture the tenacious wire haired terrier Chris Hansen returning with you to confront those uncooperative men! Another important point here is that you can indeed find some great values at stores like Goodwill. Mrs. Shady and I found a beautiful table for our breakfast nook. The desk you found is handsome and I know that it will feel as comfortable to you as your favorite old pair of slippers.Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
