so i'm having a gumby day today thanks to one of my gumby friends! ~
not long ago i sold one of my gumbyland items, (i usually don't do this but in this very special case i made an exception..) it was this skateboarder gumby keychain. my gumby friend, sally, heard the story & surprised me by replacing this hard-to-find item for me! :D ~
& not just that, check out this cool mini gumby giftbag it came in! with Stickers!! ~
& check out this vintage mini gumby plush! ~
made by applause like some of the earlier gumby bitty toys ~
he is adorable! here he is meeting some of the toyroom locals ~
i've said many times before, gumby folk are always such good people ;) & sally is no exception. she's like a kindred gumby soul, just check out this retro display she created for her own vintage gumby toys ~
& not only does she love vintage gumby & old toys like i do, (& Stickers!) i discovered she also does incredible nature photography, birds & butterflies, trees & flowers, the moon, ladybugs, pumpkins & holiday vintage, frogs & sea creatures, so many things, you really have to check out her amazing flicker page to see it all: sallyraekimmel photography
thank you so much, sally, for making my day! you will forever be a part of gumbyland :)
