A house is a home when you make it your own..............

The Goodwill Outlet-

it's basically a huge room

of dumpsters

and dumpster divers-

I'm not a seasoned diver

and I never will be but

on occasion I have been known to grab a few bargains-

Take this for instance-

A dollhouse

An assembled one at that-

Years ago, I built one for my oldest daughter-

I think it took me a good month just to glue together-

Then I painted and wallpapered contact paper-

I bought some furniture for it-

My daughter loved it but

 her friend's plastic fisher-price house had more appeal-

So, I learned from that attempt

and my other girls got fisher-price houses-

Sorry for that segue,
 but I couldn't pass this up

brought back such memories-

For $15, I can make another little girls heart go pitter patter-

until the gleam in her eye focuses on the Playmobile modern house-

oh well, it's mine for now!!

Well, gotta fly-Claire
