Fisher Price Collection

 

 

I have a confession to make!

I have been holding out on everyone!

 I figured it was time to get it out in the open and

 share something......

 

 

Don't get mad!

 

 

I have a collection!

An extensive collection!

I might even have most of

everyone's fondest memories

stored away here at my house.

 

 

 

See!

I have three toy chatter phones!

Aren't they sweet?!

 

 

 

 

oops

 

 

 I mean 4!

 

 

And this little merry go round!

I don'tremember this one as a

 child but I found it at an auction!

I couldn't resist!

 

 

 

 

 

And then there is this one!  A combo!

Merry-go-round/record player

The cutest!

I believe Paul found this one for me at Abbots auction

in Enosburg, Vermont

 

 

It all started back when I was a little girl.  I remember

 playing with the

circus, on the living

room floor of my childhood home on 638 Montello Street,

which ironically, I do not have in my collection,

I believe that Mama did not like that set because

the trapeze part of it was a stick

and she did not like us kids playing with sticks!

 

 

 

The other really sweet part of my memories of

Fisher Price were when my Mom would  visit her

friend, Ray Crowley.  While they hung out in the kitchen,

talking over coffee,

I spent many a happy hour playing in the playroom with a huge

assortment of Fisher Price toys.  I would line up the cars and

people and play all morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I found this mini Snow mobile at a yard sale in Vermont. 

 I believe it was even before I met Paul. 

A foreshadowing of all the many hours we would

spend snowmobiling on the trails of Vermont!

 

 

The best memories I have of Fisher Price is of my

children spending just as many hours playing with them as I did!

I know they love them too so I will never part with them!

 

 I hung this in my sun-porch cause

 it always brings a smile to my face.

I love their happy little faces.

Actually, in our travels, I do believe

I am missing two specific people.

You wonder how I can remember?

One is a little lady who goes with the western town. 

She has  a hat on.  And the other one is an Indian.

I just can't find them anywhere and that makes me

 

 

 !!

 

 

 

 

 

This is not Fisher Price but it is a

sweet puzzle that I found at

a yard sale for a dollar!

 

At one time in my life I was suffering from a lot of anxiety 

 It was hard to find joy in things.  Paul

came home one day and told me

he had a surprise for me.  He brought me out

to his car and opened the trunk.

He had a big box in there.

 When I opened it, I found it full of

Fisher Price stuff.  I can't even remember all the stuff

that was in that set.  It was a busy time in my life, raising

all the kids.  But I just remember how thoughtful

and sweet he was to bring me that gift.

He had talked to an old friend who was cleaning out his attic.

He ended up selling Paul all the toys.

This Sesame Street Play set was in there.

I love how Oscar is peeking out at us!

And I love that sweet memory!

 

 

 

 

 Well, this is just a small portion of all the FP toys I have.

Now that my secret is out I will share more later!
