I have been looking high and low for a good deal on an outdoor play house for Mr.Ramsey but had fallen short so far in my search until yesterday morning. Our local service league has a huge rummage sale each spring and in a small town like Cartersville it is a fairly big deal. So being the bargain shopper I am, I had Cope drop me at the door 15 minutes before they opened since the line was already forming. By the way, my husband thinks I'm a total nut when it comes to rummage/garage sales. Whatever, I find it exhilarating. So at 10:00AM the doors to the rummage sale open and IT IS ON! I spot this Little Tikes cabin immediately and my heart starts racing. Will I get to it before someone else does? I push my way past several other slow people, a few kiddies, and AHHHHhhhgrab the tag on the cabin and declare it is MINE!!!! Yep, we got it for a real steal. Luckily I had drug Cope and Ramsey along so we had the truck. Cope just kept shaking his head. I really love him even more for doing things he knows make me happy even if he thinks I am a total loon.
Anyway, we strap this little cabindown and away we ride. We could not get it though the single gate on out fence so Cope and I tried to just toss it over. I almost died. Seriously. My arms gave out and I went crashing to the ground (Did I mention I was wearing a skirt?), dropping my beloved cabin. Thank God it is plastic. Needless to say Cope asked a neighbor to help him today and it is now finally in our back yard. Yeah!!! Ramsey loves it! It was all totally worth it just to get the little happy dance and excited smile from our little wonder boy.
i love it!!! what a great find! i know the feeling when you find a great deal! my hubbie makes fun of me for couponing and bargin shopping too, but it's so much fun! i love finding a deal. but you are GOOD! I need to do some yard sales!!
i remember those!!!! how adorable! i bet r will have SO.MUCH.FUN playing! hope you didn't hurt yourself. and that TOTALLY sounds like something i would do. totally. happy saturday eve!
Great find! Just remind Cope that anything you find at a rummage sale is likely to already be assembled...that would sell Nate. Putting together all those kid toys gets tedious! I hope to find some stuff for Finley at yard sales too.
How cute! I love those kind of sales myself! Try to check it often for wasp..they are HORRIBLE this year. We are on our second can already for kylie's playset
My name is Tara Rowell and my husband Cope, our son Ramsey, and two bulldogs live in Cartersville, GA. We recently bought our first home and have finally started to plant some roots in Georgia soil. Cope just got out of the US Army after 2 overseas tours. Our son turned one in December so he is now in full on toddler stage, which we are loving, despite the occasional tantrum. I have a business making custom baby proudts which I LOVE! I am so grateful I get to be a stay at home Mommmy and do work I truly enjoy. Life is not perfect everyday but it is those days that make me appreciate the ones that are so much more. Overall, we truly love our life and the simple things that make it so enjoyable!
