thrifty mama

I had decided that I wanted to get Ivy a play kitchen for her birthday or Christmas, so I spent one morning this week traveling from store to store to find the best deal. Lo and behold, I found the best deal at a garage sale this morning on my way to work. Ten bucks, and it's in perfect shape. Clean, and nothing broken. Isn't it cute?


While visiting Duluth last weekend, we of course took the opportunity to hit all the local thrift stores (3 Goodwills, 2 Salvation Armys). I found miss brunette 1966 Twist N Turn Barbie for $1.00! Not apparently worth much on ebay, but she's still pretty cool. The part you don't see is her chewed up feet. But look at those fingernails!
