playful shopping on a monday

my grandson on a recent camping trip enjoying the simple pleasures of childhood


After last weeks very spooky Halloween shopping, I thought I would take a lighthearted look today. I love vintage toys. They take me back to a simpler time. A time when we couldn't wait to get outside to start our day. To jump rope while singing silly songs. To spread a blanket and have tea parties under the willow tree. To roller skate down bumpy sidewalks. To share it all with special friends.

  1. Love the VW and the little sewing machine. I've had a few of these vintage sewing machines over the years. They make great displays!

  5. I love old toys, too. I have some little metal bugs about 2" across that race and twirl on the shiny floor. I have a very old mother in the shoe.

    Loved roller skating. My favorite thing was to wear the key on a rope around my neck. I thought I was so cool. Thanks for visiting my blog.
