I've got a special story to share with y'all today...about The Desk...
As in, The Desk I've used to write and publish all ten of my Ebooks as well as The Desk I'll be using forever and beyond.
This one right here...that used to belong to my superfab DH:
Here's the scoop...
Once upon a time, about 30 years ago, my DH bought this gem of a desk for around $25 at a garage sale.
For years, he used it every day.
Three years ago, he "lost" this treasure in a divorce...as in his "ex" kept The Desk.
Early last Spring (2010), the DH and I were at a wonderful Antique Show, and that same desk caught my DH's eye. At the time, he had no idea it was The Desk! The dealer told us he'd picked it up at an estate auction the year prior.
My DH was opening up the drawers to check the condition of the piece when he gasped...it was The Desk!
How did he know?
He'd patched a place inside one of the drawers, and there it was...his handiwork lookin' right back at him.
So guess what?
I had to have The Desk as my new writing desk. I knew me and my muses would thrive on my DH's energy and history with that piece of furniture.
We bought it back...for $900!!!
Since then, I've created 10 magical stories sitting at this same desk and plan to continue cranking out books here for our very own happily ever after.
So How 'Bout All of You in D. D. Scott-ville...Do you have some special piece of furniture in your home? And what's the story behind it?

Awesome story, D.D.! Thanks for sharing with us!

ReplyDeleteIt truly is one of those stories that kinda just gives ya chills...
I thought the squirrel was decoration. How lovely that he's real. Does he visit you often?
ReplyDeleteOur squirrels are here every day, Sheila! LOL!!! We go thru an ear of corn every other day!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I swear they smile at me!!!
That's amazing. Town living or acreage?
ReplyDeleteTown living, Sheila...can you believe it?!
ReplyDeleteWow, how lucky are you?!
ReplyDeleteIt is really wonderful to be able to watch their ornery stunts all-day-long, Sheila!
ReplyDeleteVery cool story! :) Love how the desk came back to him like that. My computer desk is an old 1960's style office desk my dad bought in the 80s when they closed down the office/warehouse where we were at the time. The top's pretty battered in spots, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteArent' those old treasures the best, Lis?!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's all about the spirit of this having belonged to my DH for so many years. I really do think it gives my muses a wee bit of magic!
I often imagine his arms resting right where mine do now...
You dropped nine bills on it? Wow.
ReplyDeleteYep, we did, Jeff!!!
ReplyDeleteHad to have it back!!!
But it's more than paid for itself now in royalties...LOL!!!
