Late to the Party

I'm rather late to this party, but that's the story of my life. I loved checking out the deals people have found. It made me want to go shopping. Here's my thrift find.


I bought this secretary desk at the Georgetown Flea Market eight years ago. I can't remember the exact amount I paid, but it was a steal. I didn't even have a home of my own at the time, so I actually had it delivered to a storage unit until I moved. I have always loved this piece of furniture. At Christmas, it displays my snowman collection.

During the year, I keep my (small) collection of Belleek in it, which includes my grandmother's shamrock teapot.

The chair was also a thrift find. I found it in Hampton Bays, NY. It's probably been about 12 years now. I think I paid $50 for it. I love the cane seat. I usually have a needlepoint pillow on it, and I didn't even realize it was missing until I uploaded this picture.
