I love to 'shop' at our local thrift store. Many times I pick up items for future use. Our niece is in the process of adopting her son. Our church family threw together a toddler shower. I normally would make a quilt, but this time I decided to 'run' with the transportation theme and see what I could do.

| Play rug purchase 6 mo ago $5.00 |
 |
| Old blue toy box picked up last week for $5.oo! Paint, fabric panels and new hinges- Love it!! |
 |
| Close up of top, love this print. |
 |
| Closer look at the front side. |
 |
| Book case was bought several years ago. Paint and a couple of packets of stickers, it looks new! I also added boards across the shelves to keep the books from falling through the back. I glued felt down the back of all wood that would touch the walls |
 |
| Ready to fill up with new books! |
 |
| Play table was another neat thrift shop find. I have re-gifted several over the years. Paint and tighten up the screws was all this one needed. Perfect size for a little one to play with his cars. |
I enjoyed working on this play set--not pictured are the bean bags (rice) I sewed using up scrap car/truck prints. Hope the little one enjoys all his shower gifts. It was a fun shower- so much so I didn't think to pick up my camera and click some pics. Church family, aunts, uncles and cousins, young and old coming together to celebrate a new family. God is good!
