the golden book of crafts & hobbies ~

from 1957 ~

for the record i don't agree with killing butterflies or beetles ~

i remember building & painting birdhouses with my son & mr dad once, we still have them ~

native american hair ornaments ~

hopi snake dance ~

& kachina dolls ~

toxic made her own camp stove using her girl scout manual ~

she also made things from leather with her own leatherworking tools (we still have those too, i should post them) ~

do kids still like to do these things? ~

little golden book ~ raggedy ann & fido

another little golden book ~

raggedy ann & fido ~

from 1974 ~

it's bedtime & raggedy ann & andy can't find fido ~

so they head out with the other dolls to look for him ~

this 70s style of raggedy ann is the kind toxic remembers most ~

it seems fido loves chasing cats ~

i like the feisty kitties in this story like old tiger tail ~

& the beautiful illustrations by rochelle boonshaft ~

lost & found ~

flashback friday favorite ~ got weed barbie

this is a flashback friday favorite post from april fool's day 2017 ;) 

so i've decided to devote another entire month to paperdolls ~

this is maxie from 1989 ~

& the name still makes me think of feminine care products ~

actually i think i'll try to focus on more barbie ~

in february i posted barbie dolls & all barbie's friends & accessories ~

i even posted a vintage giant barbie ~

but my favorites are the really really giant barbies ~

like these life-size animated barbies outside our local weed shop ~

happy red-nose day!
