flashback friday favorite ~ vintage giant playhouse

this flashback friday favorite post from 2012 features miss pickles, our sweet babycat who is in kitty heaven now ~

i bought this giant cardboard 'play-inside' dollhouse more than 30 years ago.. here's the mail-in offer & instructions ~

my kitties approve of it ~

it came with wildly off-scale furniture & dolls ~ lol!

cardboard kitchen with all the mod cons ~

also parts, lightbulbs & seeds for a 'real working greenhouse' ~

instructions & pieces ~

it's quirky, but we enjoy it ~

kenner's spirograph

the classic kenner's spirograph playset #401 ~

from 1967 ~

spirograph pattern guide ~

there's no limit to the designs you can make with spirograph ~

toxic played with a friend's spirograph, but never had her own set until recent years ~

i had fun creating this spiroscience album ~

this set is missing the pencils ~

but it has both the 1967 & a newer 1988 guide inside ~

i also posted the spirograph superset here before ~

refill kit ~

it's always fun to find some vintage kid's old drawings ~

this looks to be a laugh-in scene with artie johnson ~

& i think this was going to be the avengers' patrick mcnee as mr steed? lol ~

full of pinholes ~
