Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Collections: Vintage Toys
Recently, Becca over at Patina Moon shared her vintage games in one of her blog posts. At the time, I thought, hey, I should show you guys some of my vintage toys. Some many not be "vintage" yet, but the kids and I like them lots.
If you would like me to post photos of your vintage toys ... just send them to me in an email at: oregongiftsofcomfortandjoy@hotmail.com
Thanks!

Wow,Kathy! You have all these toys, right there at your house?! I am excited! It's a strange feeling to walk into the antique stores and see toys and books that were popular when I was a kid, but that does happen! And I mean strange as in: gosh, I'm old enough that "my" toys are not antiques, and also strange as in: it gives me a kind of warm and comforting feeling, too. Know what I mean? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! Look at all of your toys! I especially love the old Crayola Crayons and the view finder!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about your post, what fun!
Wow! That's a lot of toys! I don't have any vintage toys, sad to say. We always cleaned things out before a move, and we moved quite a bit. You have a great collection, though. Any mint condition baseball cards in there worth millions?? :)

ReplyDeleteHi! I used to have a lot more than this, but have been trying to rebuild over time. When our church closed in the mid 90's they gave me a lot of their old toys and that is where some of these came from, including the color crayons and view finders.
I got the ceramic dolls at St. Vinnies last year for around $5.00.
Becky, I know what you mean. The cash register doesn't seem old, but it is probably 30 years old, because I remember it from when Kari and Kristin were young.
Some are into fine china; I am into vintage toys!
Lisa, I do have some baseball cards, but they are not really in mint condition or rare, though our grandson Cameron did find a few of value. I found a box of 3000 for $10 at the coast a few years ago and then let the kids choose what they wanted.
