Garage Sale Score: Antique School Desk

I loved the detail and charm of this old school desk we bought at a garage sale down the street for $20. The seat folds up and it instantly transforms into a sweet end table for the living room. The shelf that once held student books is now a netbook nook and hideaway for magazines. Further inspection revealed no potty words carved into the desktop, but "J.K," "A.G," and "R.H" were all seated there at one point.

My Not So Secret Garden 2010

After a mid-May planting, here's my little garden. Kept it small and simple: green beans, cucumbers, cherry & grape tomatoes and basil. Anxious to see if the tomatoes turn red on the vine this year. We had to use the old brown bag method last year because they stayed green outside. Unloaded the entire composter in the soil before planting. Hoping the first harvest is right around the corner!
