As I was cleaning the children's toys,
I found a few wooden toys that I thought I could use for something totally different.
I have been using the tower to hold my jute rope...
(I use this for packing some of my Etsy creations).
For the "wheels", I got out a non toxic paint remover.
The paint on these wheels was way too thick, and even my electric sander was not making much of a dent during the sanding process.
I know, it makes sense.
Stay Frugal,
Daniela

You're more ambitious than I! But this turned out really nice - good job.
Honestly, this just blew my mind. The way your mind words is amazing. I love that you are using the stand to hold your twine. Brilliant.
very creative and well done, Daniela.
Great idea! I love how you used the spool for your twine.
That is cool! I'll never look at that toy the same again! And next time I see one at Goodwill I know what I'm doing with it!
So glad that I subscribed to your blog! This is awesome!
reusing and repurposing also means using imagination and you have a great one xx
I've repurposed a lot of things over the years but never saw potential in that particular toy. It turned out fantastic!
Very cool!!
LOVE!!!
You did it again !!!

Dearest Daniela,
It is late and I'm tired but THIS post made me smile! You did this so clever! Genial idea and I love the white rings.
Guess what we ate tonight? Your yummyHomemade Boscaiola Pasta Sauce with Tofurky Italian sausage from Whole Foods and fresh peas and mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I had a very happy husband at the table and enough left overs for freezing. I love to cook larger batches!
Thanks for your sharing.
Hugs,
Mariette
How lovely! Thanks for giving me a new "shopping place"....the toy box! Brilliant!
This is one I'd never have imagined!

Oh this is just soooooo smart! I love it. I would never have thought of that and that is so practical for the twine!
Love your ideas Dani, this is SO creative, you are one thrifty lady :) Love the twine holder- xo
What cute ideas. I hope no one looks for that toy! Have a fun weekend!
Brilliant! Pretty creative and it all looks great ;)
Hi Daniela! I love following bloggers from all over the world and you're the first Italian one! I read that you were born and raised in Northern Italy, are you still living there? I would love to go to Northern Italy someday soon, especially the Piedmont wine region. So excited to have found you!
Your toys turned home decor is so clever, by the way.
Take care! -Khammany
