Antique heaven...found our dollhouse!

Pardon the pictures...99% are from my cell phone ;)

Yesterday was a fun-filled day taking my husband to the chiropractor on base, and also stopping by a gigantic antique mall in Goodyear, Arizona called The Brass Armadillo.
 I highly recommend going if you have an afternoon to kill and love antiques! I could have stayed all day browsing, but we had our two little beauties with us, so we were lucky to have stayed a little over an hour.
I plan on going back soon...

The place was full of everything you could think of...antiques, collectibles, furniture, picture frames...I confirmed that I have an obsession with chairs.  The prices were amazing too...

 a cute dollhouse...but a little flimsy...

need a license plate??

and then....there it was.....
I knew it when I saw it.
That balcony screamed out at me "CHARACTER", and I picked it up to find it was well-built, solid wood and very sturdy....a little heavy even! It was just what we wanted...perfect size, not too big...

I searched for the ticket price, and {after pricing dollhouses for a while) was scared to see the a 3 digit number, but was glad it was only $29! A total steal, if you ask me!

We kept walking, and I was scanning the booths high and low pretty swiftly, because my daughters were running out of patience. On a top shelf in another booth, I looked up and saw something I didn't intend on buying, but I just couldn't resist...

and it was only $10!

We brought the things home, and I set them on the kitchen table...before I could blink, Noel was using her little Snow White and Aurora figures to play. I even snapped a quick video when she didn't know ;)

 The house needs a little work...updating...roof, floor and walls need some TLC....we are coming up with ideas, and will share more furniture with you soon ;)

Customizing doll house furniture is so fun, and I will probably be posting some ready-to-personalize furniture in case anyone would like something for their dollhouse or a gift.
