You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Exodus 20:17
Yep, I coveted... I admit it, like a boss I coveted it. But to make it better it I went out and bought my own LOL!
This morning I became the owner of my very own "precious". I have been watching and wanting and waiting (not so patiently I admit) at the local thrift store for over 3 weeks.... waiting for the right time to pounce, and today was the day!!! I became the owner of my very own Federal style secretary desk!!!!! ...
Now just to be clear, the photo is of what my desk looked like in its hay day, she is in kinda sad shape right now but I will start work on her soon and when I am done... OH when I am done...she will be bee~U~T~full again. :)
I got a super fantabulous deal on her... can't wait to see her all dressed in my old books, pewter dishes, feather quill pen, old drippy candle, ink well and old ledger book... you see it in your mind... beautiful huh :)

This is a sheep checker board that I painted. It is hard to tell by this photo, but the sheep has a carved look because I used plaster to build up the area before I painted it.
I did a lot of distressing to this piece so it would have the feeling that it had been played with by many generations.
The checkers are made out of rounds of wood that I drilled a hole through and strung on twine.
Sorry about the poor quality photo's, that is my next blog adventure... a camera that takes nice photos.
