A lovely find

Yesterday, while fluffing my space at Monticello, I fell in love with this sweet desk.... I kept thinking I wished I had a use for it, but couldn't come up with one... So I went about my business and then it hit me! I had an old, unattractive computer desk in our great room, and this would be perfect for it!!! Yes, we would lose some drawer space, but we only gather junk in the drawers anyway!! I am just so in love with in!!! I just love how the pink paint in the legs was spared but the rest was stripped of the paint...






Here are some other lovely finds I came across recently...










I also wanted to let you know that, sadly, I have left Stars due to underwhelming sales... As for Monticello, Lisa and I have shared a large space for the past couple of years and we are both moving to smaller spaces. Lisa will move to her space in May and I will wait for the next available booth (hopefully only a few months!!), so my absence from Monticello will only be temporary, and you will see me back there soon!!

  9. Love all your pretty finds! (o:
    I'm glad you're not pulling out of Monticellos. I knew Lisa was getting a smaller space but I didn't know what you were doing.
    Glad you found a reason to buy your pretty desk!

  15. Isabel, that desk is the sweetest! Great finds you have there! I am always amazed with all of the perfectly lovely things that you find. You have exceptional taste, my friend! I have a birdcage just like yours, only in black.

    I could write on forever, but just know that I love your posts!!

    I had to leave the shop, too, because of the economy. Hard times for all, but hopefully things will pick up again.
