#476...the monday scalziassignment

So the taskmaster, Sir John Scalzihead , now wants to see pictures of our desk - what
a co-inkadink that it was almost this time last year that we started the Official Desktop Tour -

does anyone remember?

 

for those of you who want to take a little stroll down memory lane  - click here.

As for the above pic - my desk still looks pretty much as it did then - with only a few more additions of paper strewn about, so I'm submitting the same..

I will, however, elaborate for you - 

The desk is an old, solid butcher block style oak kitchen table - heavy as sh...well, it's just heavy okay, trust me.  It may not be chic, but hey, it works..

The bureau to the left, is recycled baby furniture -

The computer is by Dell - it's black, it's square, and not nearly as friendly as my old Mac Performa 550...

The lamp, to the right, is genuine imitation Tiffany - from the dungeon and dragonfly era.

The oil painting is a $35. flea market find of good ol Manayunk and it's accompanying Schukyll expressway (a Philly favorite for those in the know..and I still don't know if I spelled it correctly after all these years..) 

The books on the desk are varied and sundry - dictionaries, quotations, thesaurus, but most treasured is a book I stole from my catholic high school typing class - entitled "20,000 Words Spelled and Divided for Quick Reference"- Seventh Edition, Leslie. Oh yes, I risked getting a demerit for it - I'm dangerous like that doncha know..

There's an old "mod" phone - white and wavy - way cool.

Ooh, and look - there's the HP 2410 photosmart printer, copier, scanner, faxer, toast making, dust collector - (actually, it's a great printer..)

And sitting there -  a scented gingerlily candle, a pile of paper crap, a recycled planter, now pen container, (again -  from the kids baby days...sigh)

Next to the Dell - an antique ceramic dish that is still holding .79 cents, a retractable tape measure, some post-it notes, a band-aid, two crystal trinket things, two one cent stamps, a rubber band, a broken plastic clippy thing, and a chinese fortune cookie paper - that says...wait, let me read - "The world is always ready to receive talent with open arms." (aaah...nice!),

and a layer of eww..dust, I see...(brushing that off...)  And why on earth am I keeping these things?....

and there you have it.  The Official Floralilian Desktop - where the Queen of Flimflammery sits and peers into the interwebby world of you..

and you...

                   and you.

                                          waving...

your turn...
