lost & found vintage toys

sunset house

peeking into our latest mini house for this special halloween day post ~

sunset house by the sea, an historic old school for gifted children ~

time for class to begin ~

a mini within a mini ~

encouraging the arts ~

you can click here to see the full sunset house page, but recently i've realized all my links here at typepad & just generally around on social media are now robbing away the audio tab & all the sound/music :( & it's like watching a show without the sound. so i suggest using a laptop or pc & visiting the rows of never opened doors here at my ghost gallery at gumbyland directly & scrolling down almost to the bottom to find the sunset house link. the music plays beautifully at the gallery itself ;) ~

happy halloween all!

flashback friday favorite ~ gumby halloween

it's halloween eve :D today's flashback friday favorite post is this vintage collegeville halloween costume from october 2012 ~

unused & in the box ~

i'd say this is early 80's ~

ah, the smell of nice new vinyl reminds me of toys ~

what was your favorite halloween costume as a kid? toxic liked her vintage skeleton costume best.. (seen in this album here with several other years' costumes.) i also wish i had pix of my 13th halloween when i dressed as alice cooper in a black tophat & long black overcoat, face makeup & rubber snake around my neck.. hehe ~

toxic alert!
mcd's has scooby doo halloween buckets & stickers right now! (i must say i've eaten more than my share of chicken nuggets kids' meals..) also subway has frankenweenie bags & glowsticks & check out weinerschnitzel.
gather ye treat bags while ye may..

update: i wanted to share this cool gumby halloween card sent to me by my fellow gumby collector friend, sally kimmel ~

also made into a magnet for our fridge :) ~
