Just another Playmo day....
« on: February 01, 2011, 13:58:51 »
Hi everyone  :wave:

Well we almost risked our lives for this find, so I thought I'd at least better share with you all! So as many of you know I've had this vintage castle on hold at my  :cloud9: toy store, but it is about 85 miles away from where I live. We were going to pick it up Thursday, but I couldn't wait  :-[ Aaron got off work early yesterday so we could try and make it there and pick up the castle before the store closed. Well, I had no idea a big storm was about to hit  :uhoh: We got stuck in freezing rain! We weren't going to make it to the store in time, so I called the store because the owners were aware that we were on our way. Now, this is another reason "mom and pop" stores are so wonderful....the shop owner said she would wait for us as long as it took, just to make sure we arrived safely. Lately the kindness of others has just been astounding me  :love: It took us nearly three hours to get home last night (being a man, Aaron braved the freezing rain, despite my urging to stay at a hotel). The car was an absolute icicle  :doh: Even the mall shut down today and a lot of our city is without power.

Ugh, well at least my princesses aren't homeless anymore.

Anyway, so here are the pics

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Thank you, that is a really sweet way to look at it. He even built it for me past his bedtime while I was finishing up my photostory for Elaine and Sylvia  :love:  :love: :love:

It was your pictures that made me realize how much I wanted/needed it. I do have most of the sets (except now I need the table  :doh: ) so now I'm super glad you brought it to my attention how much I needed it  :thanks: Be sure to post pics when you do set yours up...I would love to see what you do wit it. Maybe you could give me some ideas  :!: But do have lots of fun on your other projects, your castle will wait for you  ;)
