More Back to School Goodness!

I got this desk at a great little shop in town, it needed some love though

I sanded and stripped and cleaned and sanded and sanded (those white letters were HARD to get off!) Then a couple coats of varathane and it's SO much better!
I tried not to sand all the previous carvings in it out, I swear one said I love Cookies.. hmm, think this desk was made for me!
The picture doesn't show them very well though.
I knew before I bought this exactly where I wanted it to go!


And I really need to clean that front window, especially after today!
A certain little blonde baby was ALL over it today!
I'm getting just a little excited for Back To School stuff!

So I just picked up a couple certificate frames from the dollar store, used some red paper I already had and they were done.  I think they are pretty charming! Not ready to put all the back to school stuff out yet but I am getting stuff ready!

Does anyone else think Back to School stuff is kind of hard to find?!

Is it too early?

To be thinking and planning for some Back To School?!


I don't want the kids to go anytime soon, but I am kinda excited to get the decorations out and work on a few crafts!
And I need a day to check out what each of the kiddo has for Fall and Winter, but I am in no way rushing Summer, it JUST started here really. But I also don't want to miss a sale on something that one of the kids will need either.

When do you all start planning for Fall, back to school and all the end of summer craziness?
