It's Show and Tell Monday!

Wow! I can't believe it's Monday already. . . time flies when you are having fun! For this week my show and tell is a mixed bag of a few family photos and some wonderful deals I found. So I guess I will just jump in. First up is a child's rocking chair I found for $2 at a thrift store. I am planning on refinishing it and then I have these great pink rose decals to put on it. It is for my little girl of course. She loves to rock her babies in it and read to them. She is the caretaker already. Next up a cute shelf with a drawer. It was such a deal. I am going to repaint it, not sure what color though. I do like the clean look of the white however. I also found this necklace tree, I couldn't pass up. I use them to hang my tags on. I like the gold, but may end up repainting it too and selling it.

Finally, we took our children to the L.A. County Fair this weekend. The kids had fun looking at the animals and eating way too much junk food. . . no more funnel cakes. . . ugh! My DH is absent from the pictures, he wanted to play photographer. A bit pricier this year but a good time none the less.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week and a safe journey to all my Pink Sisters who will be hitting the road and taking flight! Have a blast ladies . . wish I was joining you!

Hi Carrie!

You look so pretty in the pictures and so do your adorable children! Too bad your hubby isn't in the shots. Looks like you had a fun time. Love the chair and can't wait to see how you transform it.
