Been sleeping a lot during the day and find myself restless at night. Course, no energy to really do anything "productive" then anyway. Getting better though - and am already bookmarking some new recipes I want to try for you guys when you come over!<br /><br />XXO!The Art of Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111418013726721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-71889587097466140332009-08-15T09:31:44.311-05:002009-08-15T09:31:44.311-05:00That is too adorable!!!

We inherited dress-up clothes for xmas this past year - and I'm with you, I started out with baskets to collect them in but noticed quickly that the kids weren't playing with them. It was hard to tell what the heck ended up in the basket. So we splurged with some xmas money we got and bought this for the playroom from IKEA.<br /> <br />http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79842748<br /> <br />Ours are stacked side by side. One set has a door with a bar on the inside to hang clothes on and the other has drawers for those accessories [wands, hats, microphones ;)The Art of Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111418013726721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-2903267702353486202009-08-14T18:00:49.028-05:002009-08-14T18:00:49.028-05:00Yes.

We currently keep ours in this two extra large baskets, but I sure would like to find a child size rack, some hooks or coat rack so I can display some and they have easier access to the play clothes (instead of having to dig through the baskets to get to the one outfit they are looking for).<br /><br />Pretty much everything can work for store play. The baby toys is a good idea as well. It can be like a mini baby-r-us. Or heck, with all the matchbox cars my son inherited from his papi we can open up a mini car dealership. (Not a bad Idea!) <br /><br />Have fun playing and exploring new was to set up shops.Lisa Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496988694571275714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-75413943608269943402009-08-14T17:09:56.839-05:002009-08-14T17:09:56.839-05:00LISA!

I think they are about $15 ea. I may have to bring those out and lower it and play with that too. What a fantastic idea!! Thank YOU! Just wondering... do you guys sell kid clothes or... doll clothes... am wondering what kind of clothes I should let her play with. Maybe the ones that won't sell in our yard sale season after season LOL!The Art of Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111418013726721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-12811691028476978022009-08-14T17:07:56.523-05:002009-08-14T17:07:56.523-05:00So glad to have you back here Dave!

There is definitely something buggy out there that's got me down and out. <br /><br />We'll have to open shop with you guys soon. Ava asked when you both were coming over - she had been anticipating it all week. And when I told her that we rescheduled bc "mommy is not feeling well" she said, "can Aunt Corbin and Uncle Dave still come over."<br /><br />I said no... but that they really wanted to see her and Noah. They even had dessert ready to bring. She pauses. Thinks for a few seconds then says, "can we call Aunt Corbin and Uncle Dave and see what they have for dessert?"<br /><br />LOL! I tell you... kids say the darnest things... <br /><br />Miss you guys!

I love the pantry idea. <br /><br />Here is another shop idea for you: we take out all our play clothe and accessories and set them out like a shop and then sell, sell, sell. The kids love it. It is even nicer if you have one of those self standing hanging racks. I need to find one.Lisa Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496988694571275714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680930126064420893.post-33178788417871257422009-08-13T13:38:59.898-05:002009-08-13T13:38:59.898-05:00Zarlacht,

And secondly, how ABSOLUTELY thrilled I am to be back as a constant, consistent commentor...wwwweeeeee!!!!<br /><br />I LOVE this entry! I always enjoyed playing shop with my sister. She had the microwave that made horrible brownies with nothing more than a little light bulb inside. <br /><br />One of my favorite memories is playing shop with Mackenzie and Macy, while we waited for the rain to stop at the beach. And I look forward to playing shop with Cameron when she gets a little older.<br /><br />Loved the dialog of you and Ava, yes, that would make it a lot easier to pay bills. And absolutely, wonderful ideas--I liked the creative solutions more than any plastic toy set.<br /><br />Can't wait to see you all tonight!!!<br /><br />Soon-to-be-teapot-thief,<br />-DaveDavehttp://www.soulboxproductions.com/noreply@blogger.com
