Last summer while at my favorite thrift shop, I found this little wooden rocking chair.
I thought it would be so cute for a little girl, so after priming, I painted it a soft pink and shabbied it up a bit on the edges with some sandpaper.
It still needed something, so I added some white polka dots. I used this craft marshmallow we had laying around dipped in some paint to make easy peasy dots~
At the same thrift shop, I found a bag of little wooden letters.
I gave them a couple coats of white and then glued them onto the chair.
Here's the tiny rocker now~
Cute little puppy~

Maya wants to keep it for her stuffed animals, but this one has got to go, too! :)

Are you kidding me - I LOVE IT!!
That turned out so darn cute!!!
What is that marshmallow thing? I gotta get me one!
I love the little dogs in the side. Here's the thing...I totally would've walked by that in the first shot but would have bought it as it is in the 'afters'. I really need to learn how to spot goodies like you do! I'm useless at it!
I love the polka dots ,and the terrier!
