Mom did it again. She found an awesome piece at the thrift store. I need to give that lady a raise. She also gave me a Barbie kitchen the other day that she had been riding around with in her trunk. You will see that another day.
Isn't it awesome? It was marked $1.51. A lot of times she gets a senior discount, so I'm not sure what she paid for it. I didn't even take time to clean it yet. I was so excited to show it. I have two families in mind that would probably love this piece. Mrs. Langford and Mrs. Jackson. It might look nice in the Langford's remodeled Victorian home.
I will have to make some knick knacks to go inside.
Nathaniel is just finishing up in the bathroom.
"Honey, what's taking you so long? I want to show you what I bought for the nursery." (Kendra)
"I'm coming. I'm coming." (Nathaniel)
"Do you need anything from downstairs, before I get comfortable?" (Nathanial)
"No, I'm good." (Kendra)
"Are you sure? No ice cream? Donuts?" (Nathaniel)
"Not right now." (Kendra)
"Okay. So what did you want to show me?" (Nathaniel)
"Look what came in the mail, today. The wall hangings for the nursery. I'm going to paint them and decorate them myself. It will give me something to do while I'm here resting." (Kendra)
"That's nice, honey. I guess I need to get that nursery painted ASAP. We don't have a lot of time left." (Nathaniel)
"Look, I got one another one, too." (Kendra)
"This one says, dream." (Kendra)
"It makes me remember that having your baby is really a dream come true." (Kendra)
"Oh honey. Come here." (Nathaniel)
"I can't wait to meet our child. I know he is going to be just as beautiful as his mother." (Nathaniel)
"What makes you think it's a 'he'?" (Kendra)
"I can tell by the way he kicks. He definitely has a leg on him." (Nathaniel)
"I love you, honey." (Kendra)
"I love you, too." (Nathaniel)
"Honey? I'm hungry." (Kendra)
Nathaniel just lets out a little sigh as he prepares to head to the kitchen.
I got the same curio cabinet at a thrift store two years ago. It makes a very nice period piece. The story with the Burkes is very sweet.
ReplyDeletelimbe dolls- Isn't it interesting that some pieces will show up in thrift stores over and over again? I'm looking forward to decorating with this one.
DeleteThe cabinet is just fantastic!!!
ReplyDelete... and they should get a mini fridge to put by the bed, hehehe.
Heather - Thanks. I let out a little squeal when I saw it. That is a great idea about the fridge. Kendra probably won't agree to having food so close to her all the time. She's very concerned about the amount of weight she has gained.
DeleteVanessa your Mom is a great shopper...I see where you get yours' from! I loved this story... it was so touching, and he is so caring! That baby will have a loving family!! XO
ReplyDeleteLoretta - Yes, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. You know what it's like to have a caring husband. Give yours a big hug for me.
DeleteThat is an awesome find. I try to go to the thrift store at least once a week to find little treasures like that. What a sweet story, they are so cute together.
ReplyDeleteGinger - I try to stay out of the thrift stores. And all other stores for that matter. LOL! I have too much stuff. But I love that my mom is out there catching some great things that I would be missing out on.

DeleteGreat find. Nice husband.
ReplyDeleteMale Doll World - Thanks. Nathaniel has gotten nicer since the pregnancy. Before that he was a lacking in the attention department.
DeleteThat IS a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm not in places too often because I'm not a shopper but I find myself looking out for you too ;-) Love the Kendra/Nathaniel story.
ReplyDeleteKenya - Funny you should say that. Shantavia is sitting in the red tub you gave me. Bruce is right by her side. I haven't shown it yet. I'm trying to decide if she is going to keep the red tub or not.
DeleteAwwww, this story is too sweet!!! I am happy for them.
ReplyDeleteYour Mom has a great eye for great finds. I am home early today and am struggling with should I go to the thrift store today or not. I can't decide. You are enabling me...or rather your Mom is Lol!
Have a great weekend Vanessa!!
Georgia Girl - I'm just glad Kendra is feeling better. You might as well get out and do a little shopping. LOL!
DeleteYou have a great weekend, too.
Your Mom rocks. This was a sweet story I cant wait to see the baby.
ReplyDeleteMustiwait - Yes, mom rocks. They can't wait to see the baby, either. LOL.
DeleteGreat find on the cabinet! Your mom's so awesome! I don't always find cool doll things when I go to thrift stores up here. I guess that's why I wind up making/building what the Moreville residents want and/or need. LOL Can't wait till the Burkes have their baby. Yes, we got through the storm. No damage that we could see. :-)
ReplyDeleteCindi - I always find too much stuff at thrift stores. So I stay out of them. Glad you survived that wicked storm.
DeleteThe little curio was a perfect find for you. Your mother has a sharp eye for finding such great items.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the wall hangings. You're making great strides in completing your scrollwork.

DBG - My mom sees in 1/6 scale. LOL! I have trained her well.
DeleteYour mom is a thrift store super sleuther! I saw a HUGE thrift store on the other side of town this week and I'm going to try to get back over there this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhen Kendra said she was hungry I LOL'ed. At least he knows how to handle that with grace.
Muff - Don't buy any unopened boxes when you go to the new thrift store! I know you are all about the curiosity, but no.
DeleteAfter 8 months of pregnancy Nathaniel knows he can expect just about anything.
Your story reminds me of when I was pregnant and craved potato chips. My husband went out and bought one of every flavour.
ReplyDeleteYour mum finds the best things - that little cabinet will look great filled with your knick knacks.
Carrickters - LOL! Nathaniel should probably keep a stash of snacks nearby at all times. At least you craved something normal.
DeleteNice finds! Love the cute wall hangings .
ReplyDeleteChynadoll - Thanks. Mom be doing her thing. I think she gets on a little natural high when she finds doll sized stuff.
DeleteThat cabinet is gorgeous. And the wall hangings are going to be so cute in the baby room. I love that Nathaniel is being so patient with Kendra.
ReplyDeleteAlura - Isn't that cabinet perfect for our 1/6th world? Once they find out the sex of the baby, Kendra will paint the hangings accordingly.
DeleteHow cool would it be to have someone scour thrift stores on your behalf? What a gem your mom is. Love the wall hangings; those are going to look uber sweet when painted.
ReplyDeleteRoville - It's super cool. Just think of all the cute little things I would have missed. Kendra is thinking about putting little polka dots on the hangings.
DeleteDefinitely your mother deserves a prize, what a great finding!! And Kendra and Nathaniel look soooo sweet and cute... true love is in the air indeed, and in a short time that love will be shared with another...
ReplyDeleteRossetti - Mom has really found some great treasures over the past few months. The happy couple is counting the days until their bundle of joy arrives.
DeleteLOVE Kendra and Nate's room! My goodness, looks like the room at a resort or something. I'm also loving that shower door, very spa like. I'm excited to see what they do with the nursery, now that they have you creating such cute wall art for them.
ReplyDeleteLove the thrift find and the price is a triple win! Congrats.
Tracy - Thanks. I can't wait to finish their bed. There's just so much to do, but I'm looking forward to working on their crib.
DeleteLovely scene! Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteFarbield - Thanks!
DeleteAwww, how cute. I love the cabinet too!
ReplyDeleteMs. Leo - Thanks. That cabinet is so perfect for one of my more mature families. It would also be perfect for Happy Family Grandma.
