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..

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.. ~
just click here & let's travel back ~
