fisher price little people
it's been awhile since i posted some vintage fisher price little people ~
i recently picked up this grab bag of parts & pieces at an estate sale ~
it included this nursery set that i didn't have ~
backyard bbq table, a car & some extraneous furniture ~
but i grabbed it because of this critical piece i've been missing for years ~
i recognized this stairwell closet that goes with toxic's vintage little people yellow house i posted here ~
because how else are they ever going to be able to get upstairs? ~
we love little people at our house so we've collected them for decades ~
so many more vintage little people posts here at the lost & found, just click these links..
