we entered a survey & chance to win won last fall & we won! it totally makes our backyard & our kids (and all the neighborhood kids) love it!

this was my favorite book when i was a kid & i found one at the flea market the other day for $1. my daughter who is 3 loves it & asks me to read her my favorite book. i am so happy to do so.
my mom has been collecting the Calico Critters for her & looking at them I see such a resemblance to the characters in the book that I wonder if the book is an inspiration for the creators of Calico Critters.
anyone know?

i'd love the drapery fabric details too. its wonderful!

i know it doesn't look like the picture but we have had one of these for 4+ years & works great for us. can't beat $14.99
we had it in our old house & then when we moved it was one of the first things to be repurchased & go up.
great magnetic quality.

the design of the chair looks cool, but as a mother of a 3 year old girl who liked to climb it freaks me out. it does not look sturdy enough to be a chair for a kid. looks like it could be pulled over with the slightest effort.

i saw a woman using a Keen bag like this one the other day & I was intrigued.

I have had my eye on this one for a backpack. http://www.rei.com/product/803312

I have the skiphop duo & find the center pocket is not easy to get stuff in & out of. I also have the skiphop studio & find that its really heavy if there is much of anything in it at all.

having my second & last child in 6 weeks and always looking for the perfect diaper/day bag.

good luck!

i painted our bathroom vanity & mirror with metallic paint & it came out fabulous! i had gone to our local benjamin moore store to ask about paint & the owner suggested i get metallic craft paint at Michael's Arts & Crafts store. they come in small containers (10 or so ounces) for $5. but you can get 40% off coupons online. i did a light poly over it & its been fabulous & hasn't dinged or nicked in over a year!
