lost & found vintage toys

surfer kitty 1964 ~ golden magazine

i love the golden magazine for boys & girls, toxic used to love to listen to her big sister read her stories from them, & she liked the jokes & recipes too. there's so much vintage fun packed into these old issues, cutouts & holiday activities, paper dolls & calendars, you forget you're learning stuff too..

lost & found toys

i had a dream last night about kid's meals & prizes ~

& i woke up with a realization ~

as a life-long collector i've been going through happy meal toy withdrawls! ~

i always use to say, if i don't get a toy, i don't eat ;) ~

we don't venture out to estate sales, library sales, fcbds, collectible shops & fast-food places much anymore ~

so i'm reduced to finding my treasure by boredshopping online these days ~

my guilty pleasure? ~

among my other creative projects ~

even our home is retro ~

of course ~

happiness is a box of books ;) ~

but it got me thinking of all the cool memories i have associated with all the years of assembling the lost & found toys blog & gumbyland ~

the unexpected finds! ~

the thrill of the hunt, never knowing what you might discover :D ~

toxic was a collector but she lost most of her old possessions over the years ~

finding & enjoying vintage toys has been a blast! ~

it is like a time machine ~

if you are a fellow vintage kid like toxic, you might also enjoy checking out my ghost toy catalogue ~

it's like an inventory of oldschool fun books, toys & other collectibles ~

& it is accompanied by a wonderful 'domestic bliss' soundtrack :D ~

so if you'd like to see more than just the posts here at the lost & found & gumbyland.. ~
