lost & found vintage toys

flashback friday favorite ~ frog & toad

my favorite books to read to my son when he was little were arnold lobel's frog & toad stories ~

i even painted them for his room (now they're on the toy room wall..) ~

i also found this cute journal which i just started writing in this spring ~

these little plush guys by crocodile creek are not more than 6" tall ~

there were great stop-motion clay animated shows made of frog & toad's adventures that showed on public broadcasting back in the mid 80's on long ago & far away hosted by james earl jones, i taped them to vhs but would love it if they'd come out on dvd.. (toad was voiced by hal smith, who also voiced goliath, among many others) ~

here they are on vhs ~

flashback friday dvds

it's flashback friday ~

looking through our dvd shelves for more vintage to bingewatch in the ac this weekend as we wait out the summer heatwave ~

a good deal of our dvds are homemade, like these classic family film festival treasures ~

because i was a compulsive videotaper back in the day, & so we eventually converted vhs tapes to dvds ~

my label ~

generally red covers for horror, blue for sci-fi ~

brown for dramas & purple for kid's stuff ~

with exceptions & heavy on vintage ~

we like stephen king & elvira ~

my older label.. (lol, always with the coors & marlboro 100s) ~

these were taped from the original movie macabre on channel 9 down in la ~

classic sci-fi & campy horror b movies ~

of course, mystery science theater ~

we've survived watching all of these & more ~

i miss the good old days of adult swim ~

my tv time capsule grab bag dvds ~

& mock after school special dvds ~

haha, a brady bunch marathon ~

& of course it wouldn't be me if there weren't radiohead dvds ~

also, if you like campy vintage like we do at our house, you may enjoy my mindless art album, full of old vhs tape cover drawings i did back in the day ;)
