Look what came today!
It's the perfect place to display my French/English dictionary with the flash card bookmark!
Lots of little drawers to fill with interesting things. Jonge found the little drawers to be thrilling!
If the sun ever shines again, I will throw open curtains and doors in an attempt to get a good picture of it.
I'm thrilled that everything locks on it. That is important to me. I do not think that Jonge will be thrilled about all the locks.
You can see that I wasted no time before I "Judy-ed it up".
Have you ever read "Harriet the Spy"? THGGM and I read it one winter when we both had the flu at the same time. Oldest Son was just a baby. The only books we had at the time were the old books of my childhood. We took turns reading "Harriet the Spy" between naps and baby tending.
If you've read it, do you recall the couple that Harriet spied on who bought the 'Baby Statue'? Well this is OUR 'Baby Statue'. Funny, how we already knew 27 years ago that we were like this!
Anyway... instead of watching TV tonight, we are staring at our 'Baby Statue' and wondering who we can have over to stare at it with us!

I didn't get my "staring at" invitation.....
Wow! It's beautiful. What an amazing piece. I love it!!!!
oh my. That IS worth starving through January for.
(selfishly I'm glad that it looks nothing like dad/Ken's. Now, I can think of it as "Judy's amazing writing desk")
WHAT A FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful. Yours is "fancier", than the one I inherited from my grandmother, but mine is similar. I have her collection of china cups and saucers in the upper part of it. Away from little hands!
Don't you just love the beautiful things from the past? Today's stuff just doesn't compare.
