antique fair scores...

the antique fair a couple of weekends ago proved very fruitful--we found an old wooden cabinet for lucy's room, which will replace the changing table & storage cabinet that has now been moved into the nursery. photos of the cabinet (and the nusery) to come very soon--we're so close to being done. what a relief. in the meantime, here are two other great finds that we just couldn't walk away from...


a big metal container. i have NO idea what we'll be using this for (maybe toys in the new playroom, at some point?) but the sticker hails this container as a "patio catch-all, toy chest, clothes hamper." the all-purpose elephant basket. yes, we are the proud owners of one. and it happens to be just the right size for containing a little lucy...






the next find was a doll's high chair. we don't really have the space for it, but for $10 i couldn't pass it up. a coat of white paint is on the agenda at some point, but other than that it's just perfect. nice and sturdy--lucy actually enjoys squeezing her little bottom into it every now & then.


do you recognize this cupcake-eating dolly? wasn't she one of the 69 cent dollies intended for donation to lucy's preschool? yeah, funny story about that. on "donation day," this little dolly was nowhere to be found. the other 2 were packed up and given away (much to the delight of the toddlers in lucy's class) but this dolly, well, she got to stay put at home. after much high and low searching by jeremy and myself, she was discovered tucked into a wagon in the backyard. she's now lucy's favorite baby. and despite all that tacky plastic she's made of, i just can't bring myself to get in the way of such a sweet relationship--

it's good practice for what's coming, yes?
