Little Tikes Party Kitchen ~ Toys for Growin' Ups!

I love this little kitchen!

Did you have one of these growing up?

Our play kitchen was cardboard, but I loved

going to Toys R Us and looking at these on display.

Blueberry Muffin Mix Scans - 1981 Strawberry Shortcake

You all know that I collect Strawberry Shortcake and have been obsessed with her since 1979.

When I started collecting again in the 90s and started to join collector communities, I found photos of

this elusive item and remember going to the store and begging my mom to buy it.  She refused

because she knew I didn't like blueberries and probably wouldn't eat them!

I've been looking for YEARS, but of course, people usually didn't keep this box.

A few years ago I got an amazing lot of SSC items from a sweet collector named Emily. Turns out we grew up a couple of blocks apart.  We would have been besties if we knew each other!

This box was in the lot, along with several other items I've been looking for for the last 30 years or so!

(I made a video of that haul! It's below the photos.)

 

Recent Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Videos on You Tube!

I've recently posted a couple of videos about my Strawberry Shortcake Collection.

I've been rearranging and changing!

I don't think I've shared my Health & Beauty items before because they 

were never really displayed in a way that I liked.  They got their own shelf

now and I am happy with how they look!

More Atari 2600 Mini Catalog ~ M Network 1982

I've got a bunch of these Atari booklets around.

Most of them make the games look so exciting, when they are really just squares, 

but this one shows the actual game play, which I think is cool.

 

Vintage A-Team Coloring & Activity Book

A while back I found this fun and STRANGE coloring and activity book about the A-Team

going on a picnic.  There are 30 pages here, but a few were already removed, so the story

isn't totally fleshed out.  But, you get the gist!  Not really a show meant for kids that

were still coloring, but the 80s did not care if toys were or were not appropriate!

Vintage 1984 Barbie Catalog from Finland (In Finnish)

This is one of the catalogs that came out of the largest Barbie museum in Palo Alto, CA.

Many of the Barbie catalogs and books I've posted in the last year or two have come out of that collection.  Each of these books, from outside the US, have dolls and fashions that were not produced here in America.  It is cool to see those items!

In the '80s, I loved coloring books.  They always had a story and lots of details to 

color.  Happy House usually made a great coloring book!

These are the salvageable pages from a fun book I found.
