Mission Oak~~~Arts & Crafts Desk

Just posted this awesome desk at my Serenities Shop, located at Etsy.com

I've been in the antiques business for more than 30 years and this is the first of it's kind I've seen.

It is in excellent condition and is oak.  The top is beautifully inlaid.  There is also a name of the
company that owned it, printed nicely on top.  Adds to it's specialness.

See it at Serenities~~~Etsy.com.  Also, see my other treasures. 

Here are a few of my fave things~~~~

Hi, I know it's been too long, but this blog hasn't acquired the interest I'd hoped it
would.  I still have the same few followers.  Wondering if they are still following.  Not complaining, but am wondering what I need to do to get this blog on track??

Here's a wonderful Carnival/Gaming wheel that I have listed for sale in my Serenities shop
@Etsy.Com  Stop by for many more interesting buys!! 

  Any suggestions are appreciated. 

My Favorite Corner Cupboard

I adore this cupboard.  I was so happy when I saw it advertised at an antiques show that I was participating in.  Would you believe that I set up next to the dealer who had it!!!  Well, I had to wait two days to purchase it, as we were not allowed to buy before the public arrived.  Then I had to sell well, as I needed to have enough space in my van to move it home.  It all worked out and we used it for nerly thirty years.  Now it's time to pass it on. 

A view from my kitchen window

Our kitchen window faces the West.  Sometimes I see a beautiful setting sun.  Sometimes I see a pretty faint one.  I love looking out this window~~~~

 I found these on Pinterest.  Wish I knew who to thank for them.  I can't wait to try them.  Thinking they might be good frozen too.  What do you think?  I'd definitely add some red pepper and/or hydrated dried tomatoes for color and added taste.
