La Dolce Vita is up-cycling

Now call it opportunistic BUT,
 when the kids are at school is my best chance to...


 ... go through their rooms and throw out crap
- they are such hoarders!

If you have a daughter,
chances are she went through PPP
 (plastic pony phase)

A word of encouragement:
thankfully there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I think my daughter has pretty much outgrown them.




Yesterday, I found this forgotten plastic pony carry case and couldn't help myself
-maybe I can be a hoarder too.

I soaked off the filly brand info and was left with a super  icky sticky but funky green briefcase.



"Movie Classics" has been featuring
 regularly in my up-cycling work lately.



A trim and a tweak,




 some glue and some sealer and...
La Dolce Vita!

  1. LOL - I love that you called your daughter a hoarder for having this suitcase and then claimed it as your own, lol. Thanks for sharing at our party this week.

  5. Now I know what to do with that STUFF! it's long gone from their rooms, but it all lives in crates in the garage because I haven't the heart to throw it any further. Boys aren't pony collectors but we have plenty of alternate options over there...!

    1. Yep, me too- I have the boy stuff too! So much stuff! If I had a garage, I'd probably do the same as you though!
