Chad, Nicole and Addie love going to auctions. They have them pretty often around here – mostly estates of people who are moving into assisted living or who have already passed away. Nicole said Addie gets up every Saturday wanting to go to an auction. Once they got three bowling balls that she rolls around in the yard and I asked Nicole if she loves going so she can get stuff and Nicole said she thinks Addie just loves going through other people’s stuff.
Addie found this little “filing cabinet” that she wanted. Apparently Chad saw it at exactly the same time Addie saw it and he wanted it for some of his little tool type things but she was adamant . . it was for Barbie shoes!
It as full of all kinds of little bolts and screws and brass fittings. Chad said he wanted it for himself but, in the end, it’s going to be for Barbie shoes.
On the top, it says “Wards Master Quality” and it’s called a “small parts chest” but I think it’s perfect for storing Barbie shoes. I told Chad he should paint it pink be he said “Heck no . . I’m leaving it like it is and when she outgrows it, I’m getting it back.” We’ll see about that.

Just go to an organizer store, joann’s or maybe even walmart. You should be able to get something similar for Addie that is clear with colored handles.

Hey I like this box too! I went to a garage sale one time and bought a file cabinet that is about 4 ft high and about the size of a sheet of copy paper. I use it to keep things in! It is really handy.

Oh, I’d sand it and paint it, too. It IS perfect for Barbie shoes, and I’m wondering if he’ll ever get it back! Maybe another one will show up, or something similar, at another estate sale. =)

I’m thinking you should not paint it just in case Mike and Frank come by looking for treasures.
