Vintage toy collection

Recently, I came across an ‘article’ by Elle Decor entitled “40 Things No Person Over 40 Should Have In Their Home.” Number 29 on the list was “Creepy Old Dolls” saying, “If they start to give you the willies, or look like they're always judging you, don't keep them around.” In light of this

....today it was my little friends turn to clean up their act,before Thursday comes around (and it is coming too fast!). These are my very special friends,treasured companions who all reside on the dresser infront of our dining room table,a jolly little motley crew,glorious examples of my passion for vintage plastic!

I even started a FLASHBACK board so that I could pin the things I saw along the way. It’s fun…
