Our Piece of History

Before moving away from Kentucky Meric and I made one last trip to the Peddlers Mall. The Peddlers Mall is like one giant indoor yard sale. People rent booths and fill them with whatever they want to sell. I love it because you never know what treasures you might find.


On this particular trip Meric and I discovered an old army trunk. The trunk looked like it was in pretty good condition on the outside. When we opened it up to check out the inside we discovered that this was no ordinary trunk.

It was a WWII army field desk. (AKA the coolest desk ever!)

The lid has a leg attached to it and hooks so that it can attach to the side of the trunk and form the desk. The inside of the trunk is organized with 7 drawers. Meric and I both fell in love with it and after a day of deliberation we went back and purchased the desk/trunk.


We have been looking for a desk for a while and this one fits so well with our personalities and life style. We love that it is part of history and that it fits perfectly into our trailer. The best part is that whenever we move the trailer all we have to do is put the lid back on and we are good to go.
