It's Thrifty Tuesday! William and I headed out to two sales on Sunday (which is rare for us...usually we go on Saturday morning at the latest) and we struck gold. There was a sale with lots of old toys, and hiding under a shelf in the garage was a full box of Fisher Price furniture, people, and the house to go with them. There was a $10 price tag on the box...I about croaked...if you look at Etsy you KNOW that it is worth way more than that, and then they had everything marked an extra 25% off...so, you got it...$7.50 for this jewel in the rough. It needs a little bit of cleaning and some love for the wallpaper (should I replace it with more vintage paper I have or just try to fix what is there?), and look at the awesome paper in that green bathroom! I see the house and contents going in my vintage shop...but Gram says Katie should get to play with it for a while. Look at all of those little pieces! She even has a wifi with turntable, a sewing machine, a potty, shower, full kitchen, and all kinds of mid century elements! Gah...I love it. But you knew that, didn't you?
Once upon a time two little boys ate Happy Meals in the middle seat of a Ford minivan. Not quite willing to eat the last few fries, they launched them out the door screaming, "feed the birdies!!" And so my journal of a road through motherhood and wifedom, with a little bit of crafting on the side...where everybirdy gets a french fry. And we're all happy about it.
Oh my gosh I'm in love! When you are ready to part with it let me know!!! My little girl doesn't have a doll house yet! :)
