That is exactly what Happened..
Well let me explain myself...
You see I've been on a Treasure Hunt
of some sort, looking for a Dollhouse
I used to have one years ago and I sold it
that was way before we had grands
But now here again I find myself thinking
about a Dollhouse...
I've been checking Craigslist
and e-bay nothing within my budget...
So I've been putting out those thoughts...
I even just talked about it with my hubby just last night..
I told him how maybe I should pick-up
one of those Tin Houses the kind we
got at the Green Chip Stamp store
when I was a young girl
So here we are Friday I had to go into the
the office for an Office Meeting
thats all good, even had some munchies
provided by the speaker...
Off to a good start..
But it's what happened after the Office Meeting
I thought heck how about a quick visit to
our Local Thrift... and then I'll head home
And thats when it happened..
There it stood PINK roof and all
Oh yes it's a bit of a fixer I know...
But friends when I saw the price tag $15
I just couldn't justify leaving it behind..
So I paid the clerk and the guys at the
back of the store loaded it in my car
and now the Fixer is Ours!

Lucky you! You are going to have that fixer-upper looking as cute as can be in no time!
A friend at work went to buy a furnished doll house for $70. When she got there, the man decided to GIVE the house and all the 1970's furnishings to her!!! It's a blast from the past. :)
Oh this is sweet I can see you fixing it up so darling. Please keep us posted on what you do with it.
Hw wonderful! You will have such fun decorating it! And I can't wait to see updates as you go along.
Oh, I love it! I think I'm following right behind you...I hope any way! Didn't you get a big beautiful doll not long ago? I found one that I think is just like it and got it for my birthday. Now I need to find a doll house next! heehee! Enjoy your weekend! You're going to have FUN!
A really great find for a really great price.

Oh Lucky, lucky duck!! And that pink roof is just ...awesome. So glad you found one, and what a bargain! I have no doubt that you will have that house looking fantastic in no time! Don't forget to show us pix along the way! I'm looking for a tin dollyhouse too. I know what you mean about the prices. I am determined to have one, though.

Diane,
Love your doll house!! I finally got my childhood dream of a Victorian
Doll House several years ago and it is my pride and joy. If you haven't already seen it, there is a link on my side bar to pics of it and the story of the 88 year old man who built it for me....
Hugs,
Debbie
Lucky duck! Don't forget to post your "after" pics!
