At my desk

Well at her desk. Elsa has been asking for a desk for some time and we've been scouring the second hand stores for some months to oblige. Finding a suitably sized one hasn't been as easy as I thought, so when I saw this one, whilst not exactly what I was looking for, it was the right size. I like the blue colour :: but not sure about the drawer knobs.

Elsa was insistent that I WAS NOT to style her desk Thank you. It is her desk and she would like to keep it how she chooses. She knows me too well. I can't argue with her, but admit that, um, I did tidy it up somewhat for this photo. Okay quite a lot. But it will be restored to its messy former glory before she gets home from school. Just don't tell her please. Okay?

PS I bought the vintage poster from here. They had a whole pile though it was a while ago. It's from the Ideal School Supply Store, Oak Lawns, Illinois. This poster is called Initial Consonant Blends Copyright 1960. It's cute isn't it?

  1. I love that poster, where did you get it? Is it part of a series?

    As my little one seems to have trouble with "s" wordds that start with multiple consonants it would be something I would love to find

    I like the blue, but agree about the drawer knobs!

  3. Oh Audrey so wanted that desk when we saw it in the shop!! We didn't buy it because the boot was full... Glad its at your place. I was unsure about the knobs too, but the colour is beautiful :)
