One of the reasons I love blogging so much is because you people really "get me". Like this photo for instance. While shopping at an antique store a while ago i came across this Fisher Price van. I couldn't resist. I think of ALL the toys I played with growing up the Fisher Price family + accessories was my absolute favorite. I love everything about these guys, even now. They bring back such great memories. Hours and hours of play. So needless to say this van and it's two passengers, one found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market some time ago and one lifted from my mom's house last time I was there with the kids (HI mom) found there way into my photo session on sunday. Let the good times roll.
Glad to hear those toys bring back such great memories. I have great memories of watching you two barter and build with all the pieces.

This photo is great. It just pulls at me as fun. SO neat.
Hey, by the way my recent quilt block was completely inspired by the label you used for The Photo Trade a few months back. Check it out: http://bettyninja.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-treehouse.html

I sure do get you. The FP stuff is one of my favorite finds. In my opinion, still some of the best stuff out there. Fidget loves the vintage stuff I've picked up for her... have fun. And seriously? Cute van.

I just love this picture! How cute! I found a vintage fischer price circus wooden wagon recently and could kick myself for not purchasing it. When I went back, it was gone!
