Trucking Along

November 9, 2012 By Brenda

About a week ago I stopped at a junk shop after physical therapy. And found this blue wooden truck. It was a bit dusty, but I took a liking to it for some reason. And it was $6.

It is holding my key collection in the back.

I’m linking this to Claudia’s A Favorite Thing at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.

I love how certain things call my name and end up coming home with me.

I like your new blue truck because is looks like it is handmade.. It is unusual too. I’ll bet you won’t see another one like it.. That’s is a great holder for your old ? keys or anything else small that you’d like to have a special place for..
Have a great weekend and try to stay warm and cozy.

It’s a sweet little truck. Definitely looks home made, the best kind. I’m so happy for you that you can get out and about now a days.

Cute!
I was just looking at that truck…thinking someone probably made that from left over lumber scraps and some lucky boy…probably played with it all the time!
So Cute!

Neat! Looks like someone made it out of kids’ blocks.

That is ADORABLE, Brenda! Great find! And I love how it looks on the penny runner. SO cute. It pops that blue right up out of the pennies. Very cute. I would have bought it, too. It could also be a cute centerpiece for fall or Easter or Christmas. You could put little pumpkins in the back or Easter eggs or little Christmas packages. OR at tiny Christmas tree like someone went to the tree farm and cut it!!! Endless possibilities with a cute blue truck!

Off to do chores so I can visit blogs later…

It reminds me of something made out of the wooden children’s blocks we used to have as kids. Love the color and its perfect sense of homemade. Thanks so much for joining in this week!

I love it Brenda! I saw one just a bit bigger than yours at a consignment shop the other day and almost took it home. Maybe I’ll go back and see if it’s still there.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Very cute… I think I may have taken that one for a test drive… I see a ding in that left front fender.

I love that little blue truck. It looks like someone actually took wooden toy blocks and othe bits and pieces, attached them all together to make a truck and painted the whole thing blue. Very cool! Best wishes for a wonderful day. Tammy

Your cute little blue truck is perfect with all of your red accents. But then again, I do love me an old toy truck!

I could spend hours wandering through your house in your posts. So many creative, fun, colorful, cute things to see in every nook and cranny.

Stay Cozy!

Hi Brenda…I just knew this was your little blue truck. I didn’t even have to look to see your Cozy Little House blog name by the photo. I can’t help but wonder what sweet old Grampa handcrafted this for his little grandson.
This is so cute and a perfect place for your vintage key collection.
I hope you are having a nice weekend and that your PT is going well.
Blessings,
Carolynn
PS…I have a miracle, too. My youngest son and DIL just invited me to be in the delivery room for the birth of their first child (a boy). I am finding such healing through this kind and inclusive gesture. As you know, my oldest and his wife have witheld our grandchildren from us.
I have had a happy heart all week long!
