One mans Trash another man Treasures

Last summer Ian and I went to the thrift store to find some amazing deals....Well did we ever.  I found a really cute white crib that just so happened to have the color sticker that was 50% off that day.  I really wanted it and Ian thought I was crazy b/c Logan had a crib and at the time No baby # 2 was on the way. But how could I pass up a sleigh bed crib for $29. Yes it needed to maybe be painted but I paint everything any ways so it would be fine.  (Oh i just remembered Logan's crib need the metal bottom thing so that is how I got Ian to let me buy it:) So we bought it and it has been sitting ever since.  Well we pulled it out last weekend to paint it off white to match the hutch I painted and found that we where missing some parts.  So i went on line to get the instructions on how to put it together and see about ordering the parts to find that It had been RECALLED.  My first thought was YAY we could get a new crib then immediately my second thought was is that honest to buy a crib for $29 at a thrift store and then send in the recall to get a new one.  I came to the conclusion that yes it was OK for me to send in the recall b/c that is why it is there to keep your babies safe.  So we did everything they said to send in and away it went.  I was a little nervous (well I am just in nature anyway a nervous person) but you just hope your sending in the right stuff and will they really send you a new one ect ect.  Well I just got the e-mail saying they received all the screws, Pictures, showing we had the crib and will be sending our new crib today!!! YAY! we are getting a new crib.  I have no Idea what crib we are getting but I know it has to be better then the one we have. I will post picture when we get the new one.  I was going to paint the old one off white to match but I will not paint the new one we will just let it be:) It makes me want to go to the thrift store and see what other Treasures I can find.
