A Learning Tower for $10!!!
Stephan was thoroughly unimpressed. Being the very practical sort, he talked me out of it because we didn't really have room for it, etc., etc. We left sans tower, but I just couldn't get it off of my mind. Then, yesterday, I was standing in the kitchen, and I thought, "Oh, yes, we do! Our kitchen isn't that tiny." Lucky for me, my mother happened to be over painting with one of her friends. So, I borrowed her truck, drove two towns over, and prayed the entire way. (Side note: Yes, I pray for dumb stuff some times. Hopefully, God doesn't mind.) You probably know the end of this one already. I walked in, and to my delight the Learning Tower was still there and still $10!!!
Now I want to find one of these at a thrift shop (they attach to the tower)....
P.P.S. Please, excuse my really ugly kitchen. Unfortunately, it's last on the remodeling list.
P.P.P.S. Oh, and honey, when I said sometimes husbands should stay in the car I wasn't entirely serious. I really do love thrifting with you. :) It's just that if I get that goofy, wide eyed, I've found a steal look on my face you should probably just go with it. Mkay?
We have a yellow counter like that except that it has sparkly gold marbling which used to match the sparkle tiles in the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI like the 70's kitchen look ( :
ReplyDeleteMy house was built in 1905 so you can imagine my little tiny kitchen. Cute but tiny.
I love when I find stuff and thrift stores. Love it!!!
That is so cool, I had never heard of a learning tower!
LOVE the tower!! AND for $10!!!! Those are answered prayers that it was still there. That's so great!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still recovering from the dizzy wallpaper. ;)
I cannot believe that you found that for 10 bucks!! I've seen it online before and wanted it.... but not for the price. So happy you scored it :)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so sparkly clean! How do you have the energy being preggers and running after a toddler? I feel good if I am able to get the dishes done... lol
What an incredible deal!!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome thrift store find. I have a feeling that you'll use this is much that those will be ten of the most well spent dollars ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over the tower... I would LOVE to get one for the kids, especially at $10!! I've been trying to find good step stools, but it's not the same...
ReplyDeleteA learning tower for $10!?! That is the find of the century! We have a learning tower too and we use it every day! My girls love helping me cook and clean in the kitchen. :)

$10?!?! I am super duper I can't believe it jelous!!!! I want one sooo bad but can't find them second hand anywhere and can't afford a new one!! Please pass any others you find on please please please!
ReplyDeleteScreeeeeeeeeeeeeech of brakes. What? I have never before seen a Learning Tower. I feel like I need to freeze frame before all my kids are way too old for an obviously EXCELLENT find!
ReplyDeleteOh man! What a find! You'll get so much use out of it (and won't have to watch the kids to make sure they don't fall off the back of the chair - like at my house).
ReplyDeleteThese are great...and $10! wow. That would save a lot of off balance wobbles on the chair at our kitchen bench!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is definitely a GREAT find!!! Does your hubby even know how much they really are? Seriously, the hubbies do need to stay home at times. I know mine would have reacted the same way.
ReplyDeletebtw- first time visiting (via Marcela. Nice blog! =)
I never heard of learning towers but what a truly clever idea!
