thanks for updating my post I am a village idiot when it comes to picture uploads

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

for some reason I thought I had already posted a pic of my desk here...

I have two desks but looking in my photo bucket library I only see the picture

of this one. It's made from an old oak drawer.

It has since become so cluttered there's no room to write on it so I do a lot of my

writing at the dining room table. Do you think I have "clutter issues?"

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

amberlea,

 

Are the scales for payments?

 

 

:) They were on my father's desk for many years. He was a judge, but not an attorney. He gave them to me when he left office in the hopes I would go to law school.

Methinks they be the scales of justice.

 

Do you have a letter-opener shaped like a sword?

 

 

Nope, she's a mermaid.

Thanks Dr_P and Pen2paper!

 

It is walnut, good guess! I love the 60s and design from that time. It wasn't stuck in the past, nor the present , It promised a freshness that showed us what the future could be.

 

What are your favorite era? And do you have any piece of furniture from that period?

This is my home-office desk:

 

I'm jealous. I mean, I'm happy for you, but I would like to have such a desk. Not yours. One of my own. I guess I'm not so much jealous as covetous.

I recently acquired this beauty. It's smaller than I'd like, but otherwise it's perfect for me.

Another, moodier picture.

Kipp Stewart Declaration. Small buffet, round dining, four chairs. Always planned to change out the ceramic knobs, but there was something visually correct about them that stopped me. glad I avoided thE major mistake!

Personally like the square to round design device of mcm. Also, the low sheen patina on the medium walnut improves each year.

Wish ++ > I had the Declaration desk. Have as basic as it gets, teak.. far too boring to show here.

...do you have any piece of furniture from that period?

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
