lost & found vintage toys

flashback friday ~ raggedy ann

for flashback friday i thought i'd post about one of my favorite lost childhood toys ~

vintage raggedy ann ~

dolls, books or tin toys ~

raggedy ann & her brother andy have always been at home in my toyroom ~

my favorites are the johnny gruelle illustrated versions ~

for charming old-fashioned doll play ~

& the knickerbocker plush toys ~

but there are so many variations through the generations ~

which one do you remember best? ~

if you're oldschool like i am, try using an old laptop or pc with google chrome or firefox browser rather than a phone or tablet ~

(they steal the music!) ~

& visit annie's saturday house, a dollscape i have up at my ghost gallery ~

it's my secret hideaway ;) ~

& just click on raggedys in the category list in the sidebar for much much more ~
