I love buying nice new things, but even more than that I love buying nice new things at a great bargain, but even more than THAT I like finding old stuff with some character and giving it a new look. It's so much fun trying to envision somebody's old cast offs as something pretty and useful. Last week I went to a thrift store and came home with this pile. I have one of my projects pretty much complete - I'll share it tomorrow. The rest of my pile of junk, I'll show you the end result as I have time to finish them.
And of course, some pictures of the boy for the grandparents:
