Ice Cream Parlor Stand

A couple of years ago, the girls got this little grocery stand for Christmas:

As you can see, it's gotten a little beat up.

The paint was in bad shape and the bottom shelf is completely broken out.

I wanted to use it for Cassy's Ice Cream Parlor party

so Daddy Did It and I got to work.

Some disassembling, sanding, priming, and painting later

We ended up with THIS: 

Oh yeah, I did a little sewing, too.

I'll tell you how I made the custom canopy in a later post.

So, what do you think?

I tell ya, the girls LOVE it!  It's like a brand new toy...one that appeals more to the girly nature of our house!

And it worked great as a stand to hold the gifts and favors...also coming in a later post.
