Last fall we stumbled across a vintage school desk at the thrift store. Jess had been admiring them on Pinterest, so we instantly snapped it up for Enzo. We delivered it down to their house last October when we went down to visit the Pumpkin Patch with them.
Enzo definitely enjoys using it.
We started seeking a second one for Lucci. He'd just turned one when we got the first desk, barely walking, so at that time there was no urgency. But now that he's all over everything, having a second desk for him would be good -- those little guys are pretty territorial. So we renewed our search this summer. Last weekend, on our garage sale and thrift shop "treasure" hunt, we stopped at all the antique stores here in Bear Valley, but there were none to be found. I chatted with Sharon, a long time friend and owner of one of the antique shops, and she said she hadn't seen any for quite a while but that she'd keep an eye out for one while on her buying trips.
The doorbell rang yesterday morning, and lo and behold: it was Sharon -- with a perfect vintage desk that she'd located for us! A total surprise, plus she was dropping it off here at home rather than phoning us to come down to the shop! Wow, talk about the perks of living in such a small town!
So we have our second desk, all ready for Lucci's upcoming birthday! I'm so delighted at how this all worked out, and also had a lovely time chatting with Sharon about our front wildflower garden.
Life is good :)
