It's time for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday and on my desk is a variety of things (notice that I have again used an open drawer to make up for the small surface area of my desk.)
Here is the Spanish Señorita painting I showed you last week. I have added her lace veil and a fan. She still needs a hand to hold the fan and some other revisions.
We've been having typhoon weather and yesterday we didn't go to work. Since there was no electricity, I spent part of the day cleaning up the attic. I found a pile of thread, lace and embroidered cloth...
and a bag made out of woven telephone directory pages (no, I didn't make it).
Last weekend, we went to a province six hours away and while I was there I found a thrift shop where I bought this little copper box for P10 (£ 0.15 or $0.23).
And here is a book I couldn't resist buying for P15 ((£ 0.22 or $0.35). No, it's not for reading but to alter someday. Hopefully.
Here is a crucifix I got from the World Youth Day Pilgrim's Pack and here is my post about World Youth Day: Part 2 (wow, I actually got to post in between Wednesdays!)
Do drop by Julia's blog for the WOYWW list and get to see desks from all over the world. Happy WOYWW, everyone!

Oh I must not have stopped by last week as I missed the lovely señorita. She is looking just fab. And all I can say is HA!. I never get anything as useful out of our attic (or garage) cleaning sessions as lovely lace, I get spiders, mouse dropping, and dust bunnies. Not fair- AND you get sunshine too ( ok, and typhoons)
Hope your power comes back on soon

Gorgeous senorita!! I was thinking of you when I heard in our news about the typhoons. Hope you are ok. Love that book you are going to alter "some day"!
I really like the way the fan comes out of the picture frame!! Hope the typhoon didn't do any damage - but what great finds from your attic :)xx

Ah, la senorita es moy bonita! How beautiful. You took me back to my office days - I regularly had to use an open draw to accomodate my 'system!
Sounds like terrible weather but wonderful finds in the attic! I never find anything useful when I clean, just lots of dust and uck! Thanks for sharing! Lovely work desk.
The veil and fan have really made a difference she is lovely !

Oooh all your lovely lovely stuff! I love the picture you're painting, and all the fun things you found in the attic, as well as the bargains you bought. I can't believe that basket was woven from old phone books! Recycling doesn't have to be boring, does it. Happy WOYWW.
Great post Peggy.
Amazing finds in your attic but I hope your weather improves soon. Mind you if it continues... who knows what you'll find!
Enjoyed reading all your posts about your World youth trip. A friend of mine attended a few years ago and shared her experiences.
Your senorita is just lovely.
Love JoZarty x
Your Senorita is coming out quite nicely! Can't wait to see it finished! And it looks like between the attic and the shops, you have found some nice treasures!
Beautiful piece on your desk! And your treasures are amazing too! Pop Art Minis

Forgot to say... hope the typhoon has passed and you have been spared any problems x
Lots of wonderful finds. That telephone bag is amazing. Your Senorita is looking gorgeous too.
Keep smiling and creating
I got a late start because I fell asleep before I could link up with Julia. Your desk is always fun to see. Looks like you have it in the bag! The fact that you actually got work done during a typhoon is amazing. I adore that lace!
I'm 42 this week, not even in the top 10!
Your señorita is beautiful - is that a real wooden fan you've used?
All your treasures are wonderful especially the lace - what a great find!
Your senorita is even more beautiful this week and that attic find is truly great. Telephone directories are featuring a lot on WOYWW this week. Happy WOYWW and hope you have a great week ahead. Elizabeth x #73
Thought I was the only one who used an open drawer in desperation for extra surface space!

You found some awesome treasures. Love the Spanish girl.
Happy WOYWW
Your Senorita is just Lovely!!!
