lost & found vintage toys

vintage child's desk

i'm interrupting book month for today for a different kind of oldschool item ~

i just love this vintage falcon children's desk ~

it works as an easel or a desk ~

& it has a chalkboard with some vintage chalk still inside ~

the scrolling paper roll on top features nursery rhyme characters~

trees ~

birds ~

letters & numbers ~

flowers ~

animals ~

designs of the era ~

it feels 30's or 40's to me ~

recently i was able to find this sweet little american seating envoy kindergarden chair to go with it ~

just like toxic remembers from kindergarden ~

back to book month tomorrow ~
