Dads Old Toys

I was at mum and dads today and found a box of all my dads old toys. They don't make toys like these anymore. I love that my granny kept some (dad told me had like a hundred tin cars). And the ambulance was a gift that granny bought in Paris in the 50's for him. So pretty and he was so kind that I could have the red Schuco (complete with remote control steering mechanism) and the ambulance. They will fit perfectly with my olive green 1963 Corvette (ultimate dream car).

Star Wars, Trolls, Kermit and a pair of supercute shoes

Mum and dad came over yesterday and she's doing some Spring cleaning at the house and found all our old toys (me and my brothers). She had a whole bag with her with stuff she thought I'd like. How cool are these? They're not mine but my brother said it was fine I'd have 'em up in my flat. 

There was also the super cool Kermit doll that now sits on the edge of my sofa chillin.

 

And what about these supercool Trolls? I can't believe my Mum kept all of our things it's really a blessing. 

And as a finale, here are my first pair of shoes. Size 17, that's tiny people, looks like I was dragging them around the floor crawling more than walking, soles are like new!

Dollhouse à la 1984

I was at mum and dad's over the weekend and mum and I went complete coocoo going through all of my toys from when I was two apples high. I dunno who had most fun, me or her. Found these furniture and doll's belonging to my homemade dollhouse à la 1984, made by no other than grampa Leo. The lovely Lovisa (and Annika) blogged a few weeks ago about her found at a flea market and this is my respond to her post. Toys where just so much better and cooler back when I was a kid. Today's dollhouses are filled with flatscreens and silicon tanned dolls. Yeay for the 80's!
