I've been on the look all year at garage sales for a desk for Addie. Three weeks ago I found it. I'm not usually good at bargaining down the price but I did on this one. We got this little treasure for only$20. There's a second piece, a book shelf, that fits on top of the desk. What a project. She's learned all about refurbishing an old piece of furniture. After a few hours of sanding and washing down the old wood and about four coats of white paint we moved in her new desk. With Grandma's help the bookshelf is ready to move in too. Addie is one happy girl. Let the new search begin. Dining room table and chairs. Wish me luck.

One man's garbage is another young girl's treasure...
