Our White Desk



Howard & I bought this vintage white desk for our anniversary a few years ago!  The glass doors are smokey  and  reflect the family room.  On the desktop is a lamp that my mother and daddy bought in about 1950 on a trip to San Diego, Ca.   We bought the old travel typewriter a long time ago..don't remember where, it closes where it can be packed for a trip.  The glasses on the desk belonged to my grandma.  The drawers contain old vintage letters that belonged to my mother and my grandmother, most are from 1929-1950. I will be joining the party at  http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/  and also at,  http://nominimalisthere.blogspot.com/
