Secret Santa

I heard from a reader who is looking for a pair of vintage school desks. She has two little girls who love to play school and would love to see Santa bring a desk for each one. If you know where an elf can find two little desks in time to get them painted and prettied up for Christmas, give me a call. I’ll put you in touch.
