{Thrifty Tuesday}: Fisher Price!!

It's Thrifty Tuesday!  William and I headed out to two sales on Sunday (which is rare for us...usually we go on Saturday morning at the latest) and we struck gold.  There was a sale with lots of old toys, and hiding under a shelf in the garage was a full box of Fisher Price furniture, people, and the house to go with them.  There was a $10 price tag on the box...I about croaked...if you look at Etsy you KNOW that it is worth way more than that, and then they had everything marked an extra 25% off...so, you got it...$7.50 for this jewel in the rough. It needs a little bit of cleaning and some love for the wallpaper (should I replace it with more vintage paper I have or just try to fix what is there?), and look at the awesome paper in that green bathroom!  I see the house and contents going in my vintage shop...but Gram says Katie should get to play with it for a while.  Look at all of those little pieces!  She even has a wifi with turntable, a sewing machine, a potty, shower, full kitchen, and all kinds of mid century elements!  Gah...I love it.  But you knew that, didn't you?
