heyyy! it's the fonz! remember when this was cool? was it mork from ork with his rainbow suspenders with buttons that started the button craze in the 70's? i know it's what started toxic on her first collection, pins & buttons, & she also wore them on rainbow suspenders ~
toxic herself with a friend in the swimming pool ~
one of the first items i posted here at the lost & found was toxic's first button.. i'll be posting a glut of vintage pins & buttons all through august ~
then there were school spirit buttons, these are from toxic's jr high ~
i was friends with the kid who designed this tumbleweeds themed button for our school, he got permission from the artist, tk ryan.. back when native americans were still mascots & referred to as indians ~
vintage snoopy pin ~
as kids we all lined up & waited for hours to see 'the hulk' at a local mall, thinking it'd be lou ferigno himself.. they said he was giving out signed pictures.. i still remember how disappointed my little brother was to find out it was only a guy in a hulk costume handing out these pins! ~
now this vintage rainbow happy face pin has a different significance ~
vintage peace sign ~
toxic's high school ~
high school camp button ~
possibly toxic's favorite old happy face button, non-conformist happy face ~
vintage little rascals, alfalfa & butch ~

i had a blast yesterday watching a live stream on insta of krofftkon, which is happening all weekend at the orinda theater in northern california ~
click the link to see marty krofft's grandson, griffin, taking the video :) ~
& yeah, that's me there with weird comments & a question for marty ~
i had to ask if he knew art clokey? nope ~
& in comments later with sid krofft who has liked my comments in the past, i was able to satisfy my curiosity about an old rumor from toxic's childhood, that the opening scene with the creepy boat as the hr pufnstuff theme plays was filmed up at a spot she knew & loved, big bear lake, ca? yes! that's true & he said it was a beautiful day :) ~
if you're as big a fan of the old krofft shows as i am you should click the links in this post to a bunch of posts i've done in the past ~
meanwhile enjoy these cool collectibles i've just added to my toyroom including pufnstuff, sigmund & the sea monsters, electra woman & dynagirl, lidsville & toxic's favorite land of the lost pins, magnet & Stickers!! i've always said witchiepoo was my earliest fashion influence! ;) ~
Sleestak! Avoid Eye Contact! i have to say my favorite moment at krofftkon was when will & holly sing the show theme & even remembered to add grumpy the dinosaur at the end! made my day!! :D ~
back to cd sundays next week..

so i was finally able to add the hard to find vampire gumby pin to my favorite jacket! ~
it was available once upon a time up at the gumby world store but not for long & i missed my chance years back ~
i miss playing gumby games for cool prizes including pins like these! ~
after following up leads at halloween stores online to no avail i finally purchased this pin through rockinpins on insta ~
along with a few others i was missing ~
like pokey & goo ~
to go with my standard gumby pin ~
they are now on my hat ~
there's also blockheads & lowbelly available when they're in stock ~
i hope they will make others available eventually? like gumby's parents, tara & minga? ~
gumby dressed up as a vampire in the new adventure called 'of note' here ~
don't forget my favorite, prickle! rockin' his mohawk :D ~
