Happenings--

We’ve been working on all kinds of projects around here. I think the warm weather does that…the weather is pretty and it stirs up ideas and energy.
I’ve found some really great “thrift store” junking treasures. I’ve wanted Jaxon to have wooden toys…like blocks and cars etc. (As if we don't have ENOUGH TOYS already!!!) I thought about slowly building up his collection and “lo-and-behold” I found him all sorts of treasures there other day. For dirt cheap!!!! But of course…I had to wash them to get possible germs off! Ha ha!

The wood appears wet…because it had just been washed and partially dried! And yes here they are…drying after a good scrubbing!!

This little doll/stacker is his favorite. He takes all the pieces off and then puts them on again. Except we had to take the smaller red pieces away…they seemed a little small and a possible choking hazard. She only has one “piggy-tail!”

This one was just too cute…we had one growing up and he loves to pretend he’s talking on the phone!

I have no idea what I’ll use them for. Probably storage containers. Jax thinks they are fun toys!

I just love vintage kids toys from the 50's - 70's. I recently found the most darling children's iron in pink and yellow. It sits in my laundry room now :)

Love what you did with the chalk board, what a cute and easy fix!

LOL, I think I had that phone in the early '80's! :) Love what you did with the chalkboard! I don't seem to have good luck thrifting, but I think that makes me give up too easily.
