I'm also thinking those holes in the desk top is for the purpose of running computer cords neatly out of sight. My husband made a hole like one of those in the desk I'm using for my sewing machine so that we could plug it in and connect the foot peddle. :-)Mary E.

We don't have flea markets, at least in the winter, here in Minnesota. You have found some real treasures. That lamp is a real statement piece. Very cool! I'm glad you're finding success in furnishing your new home. And digging in with your own work is admirable. <br /><br />Leslieschmidt1016https://www.blogger.com/profile/14017833554522216187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309493769526175391.post-10779497479327482402014-02-18T18:49:42.929-06:002014-02-18T18:49:42.929-06:00Love it all!

I just wish I were closer so I could see it in person. :) I stopped at a flea market this afternoon - a new one has opened just a mile from my house and I'm so excited. It's still pretty bare but I'm hoping it grows. I only bought one small thing - a small shelf - but I know it's going to be perfect somewhere in my house. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309493769526175391.post-89750175197717848902014-02-18T12:03:26.369-06:002014-02-18T12:03:26.369-06:00Looks like you got some good deals!
