My father picked me up an L-shape computer desk at an auction...after the auction was over this desk was just sitting there and my father asked if it was for sale. The man said sure, give me a price...my dad said: "$15.00"..."SOLD"...lol So, I am very lucky indeed! I can have my computer on one side and my sewing machine and rotary mat on the other side. This way I can watch the tutorials and sew at the same time. My daughter and I went to a few garage sales and we picked up some baskets. I have my odds & ends in them/books/etc... I also have lots of room under my desk and it sits in our living room!~~
) Just look around, especially since garage sales are in season. You may want to check out Big Lots or one the Office Max stores. Maybe in your area a scratch and dent store? Just be patience and make sure you get what you need and ask family and friends to help you search. Good luck!!
