My most recent find

Recently while out riding my bike one morning I came across a pretty cool find - well I thought it was cool anyway.  But by the time I had finished riding and got back home I had completely forgotten about it.

Then that same night I was online and saw something similiar that reminded me of the find earlier in the day.  I immediately got in the car headed back to the house where I had seen it and wrote the phone number down.  I returned home and called the number and talked to the sweet lady on the other end, had a brief conversation with her and was quickly headed back to her house (in the truck) to retrieve my treasure.

What is this treasure you ask?  Well here it is----



Is this cool or what?  I have been looking for one for some time.  I can't wait to start redoing it - although it is at the bottom of a long line of other projects. 

The best part of it - It. was. FREE.  The lady has more like this (and some of just the desk) that had been given to her for her homeschool and she just didn't have room for them anymore so she was downsizing.   She just wanted it to go to a good home.  If you look close you can see the hole in the top - you ask what that is for - it's for the ink bottle.  How cool is that?
