So, since I didn't have a lot to do this AM I headed over the the church yard sale place which I am always raving about. They had an old fashioned roll top desk for the astonishingly low price of 10.00. It is a bit hard to open but in decent shape A little furniture oil will make it look just dandy. They will even deliver. The reason I didn't buy it on the spot is that I will have to remove a large box from that room where I want to put it. There is also a desk in there now, but I told them if they delivered I would donate the desk that is in there now. One thing that impresses me is all the drawers I could store things in. I told you, that place is a gold mine!

Yeah, not all thrift stores are created equally. I am not a fan of Goodwill, but this place and another I know of are awesome!

@paigea The church ones seem to be the best ones. They don't seem to care that much about their profits

@snowy22315 We don't have Goodwill in our small city. We have a Habitat for Humanity, one run by the Association for people with Developmental Delays, One by, I think a church group and a new one just starting run by the Woman's Shelter.
And that great thrift shop in the mountains is a church one.

I have things stored but the containers are cheap. I would like to get rid of them and get something better.

I hadn't thought of that..added bonus. I was just sitting here thinking, I should get a quill pen to put on it.

I am happy for you that you have found a gold mine in terms of finding an old fashioned roll top desk at a church yard sale
