This week I chose to show you some things that I found while poking around one of my favorite antique malls. Some fun and funky stuff. Like toys that many will remember from their childhood and just plain fun stuff.
Probably two of the most iconic toys ever……
Who hasn’t had Fisher Price in their house?
Some funky things……
Anthromorphic (I always make that mistake.) Anthropomorphic (meaning: ascribing human form or attributes to a being or thing not human) salt and pepper shakers.
This mug / jug, is perhaps a “Toby Jug” or character jug. One way or the other, he’s a funny looking character with such exaggerated features!
That’s it for this week. For more vintage thingies……click on the logo

That Barbie case is to die for! I had one of those Fisher Price clocks when I was little. You've got a great collection! (Although I have to be honest and say the monkey with the hat kind of freaks me out!)
ReplyDeleteI love the toy kitchen. Always wanted one of those... and pink no less. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat Barbie case is the best! I love no want the pink toy kitchen! It's totally fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
Wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing. Brought back great memories.
ReplyDeleteI love old-fashioned toys that remind me of my youth or even my kids.
ReplyDeleteI had a Tammy doll as a child and not a Barbie. (Tammy was supposedly more "realistic" than Barbie -- easy to see unless you were a young Dolly Parton!) With the help of E-bay, I've been able to more-than recreate my Tammy childhood.
I got all excited when I saw the barbie case!!! I love the graphics on it. I used to have tons of clothes for my ONE Barbie. Now little girls have fifty Barbies and one outfit per doll. Good marketing on Mattel's part I guess.
ReplyDeleteYou picked up some great vintage toys. You were smart to get the Barbie item. Her products sell very well.
ReplyDeleteLove the Barbie case and the pink mini appliances! I think the monkey would've scared the crap out of me as a kid. :) I remember the Fisher-Price clock too. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteTerrific toys! My MIL had that clock for the kids to play with at her house.
ReplyDeleteI just love those salt and pepper shakers!
My favorites are the pink appliances--even though I am not a pink person.
ReplyDeleteThat Barbie case is fabulous!! I really like those vintage pink tin appliances too!!
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun collection! I adore the little pink appliances, so cute and evoke so many memories of childhood.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT,
Sally
Fun finds, great post. I love the Barbie case and I also had one of those FP clocks - Hickory Dickory Dock!
ReplyDeleteNeat! If you don't mind I think I'll swipe this idea and take some pictures of my 40's vintage er.... "boy toys" and post them on my 2nd non-nature stuff blog.
ReplyDeleteNice collection of photos from the antique shops! I like the onion salt. :)
