Show & Tell: Recycling

The 3R bug has hit me again. What? You don't know what the 3R bug is? It's the Recycling, Reducing, Reusing bug!

I picked up this dirty dollhouse bookcase yesterday at a local store for $6.





After a good wash down with the steam cleaner and a new coat of white paint, A now has a beautiful dollhouse bookcase. If I could put it into the bin, I would. Instead, A will use it while she's living with us, then whenever our daughter gets here, it'll be hers.





I can already see it being put into the attic for my future grandchildren after my children have used it. And for $6 and $12 in painting supplies, it's a steal!

What a great find. I love seeing things re-used like that, instead of people thinking they have to buy new all the time.
