Did you purchase yours or did you do the thrift store search for pieces that would fit? I am trying to decide what I want to do. I would LOVE to just purchase the kit but that will take some time to accumulate the money but the thought of looking at thrift stores with my two(and when I can find one since they aren't too abundant here!) is kind of daunting! I wonder if my time value is worth just purchasing the kit from Our Father's house? So what did you do?

St. Nikolas (or maybe Santa) brought each of our girls 1 piece ;)

Santa left it behind the tree last year for our family. We really love it, esp to use during FHC prep.

Katie -
I made a valiant effort to thrift some pieces for our Mass kit. It was frustrating and the pickin's were slim.
I ended up buying the kit, and I'm so, so glad I did. It saved me so much in time and I love the small, yet realistic and beautiful pieces.
I'd encourage saving for it if at all possible!!!

We sure got lots of use out of ours too. I gave ours away to a little nephew who told me he wanted to be a priest. I couldn't resist. Now I will have to by one for my five year old. It will probably be under the tree this year.

I purchased mine from Our Father's House when my oldest ds was in the 2nd grade. I found this a valuable tool when teaching FHC (and any other time you may want a review with the children).

I resisted for awhile too, but finally just bought it (from Our Father's House) and I'm so glad I did!
