Well, Anna Marie and I, went shopping last week. We went to pick up some things to donate. A local "safe house" for kids, asks for donations every year. They collect small things like crayons, bubbles, clay, small toys, that sort of thing. A bunch of ladies, make stockings. Then they are stuffed with all the donations.
When I went to college, our department always collected donations. Since graduation, I've always bought and donated stuff. It's important. These are kids that are neglected, taken from their families, or abused. They need some love. And $50, isn't going to break us. But it sure will put a big smile, on some kids faces. :)
While we were getting all our things together, I saw this little kitchenette. For $20. But we were there for the kiddos. Not for my Christmas shopping. A few days later, Greg and I were talking. About what we were going to get Daisy for Christmas.
I told him, eventually I'd like to get Daisy a set like this. But right now, I just think that it's too much. I mean, she's only a year and 4 months old! That's when I remembered this little treasure. In Family Dollar!
Greg went to buy it the next day! The stack of 20 that I had seen, were almost gone! There was only 4 left. But we got one for our little girl. Best of all, it's American made!! We've been trying to buy American made, for all our holiday gifts.
It only took Greg about an hour, start to finish, to put together. Then we realized, we need to hide it! For a few weeks. Currently, it's tucked away in our Guest Room closet. That's the other thing that I love, it's not too big! After Christmas, we might just put Daisy's little kitchen, in the family room. Instead of her playroom. ☼
