More Thrift Store Love

Palm sander (Mother's day) + a little glaze (leftover paint mixed with water) + bun feet,
and the tacky thrift store pirate chest. . .
 . . .becomes our new dress ups box.

And what do the Wilson girls most like to dress up and pretend to be?

Poor.

I may have said under my breath once that they don't have to pretend. Ha ha.
Of course, we really do have everything our little student budget hearts desire.
And when we don't, we can usually find it at the thrift store.

I thought you were going to say pirates. Ever so charming is that dress-up chest.

I love your style. It just feels so natural and effortless. Yet you create things of such beauty. You're inspiring! And I think its so cute that they love to dress up as poor! They are such fun, delightful girls.

Guess being a Princess is all the better if you were poor the day before. Cute people, you!

Anika used to say, when she was little, "Oh, you're so poor!" when she meant she felt sorry for you.
That chest looks great! And I love that it has a chain to keep it from opening too far and gouging the wall.
I'd like to see a picture of your girls dressed up like poor people. "Please sir, I want some more."
