Shop Update

Well Hello Everyone long time no talk:)  I wish I could tell you all the shenanigans that I've been up too but that will have to be another story for another day.  I will say though that most days have been spent washing and pricing alot of farm fresh vintage for the show I am doing in April.

So in big news we have finally joined that every popular site that all the cool kids are on, you know that little thing called Facebook.  That's right we can be found HERE  maybe you'll like us or maybe you won't.

The past couple weeks have been challenging in deciding which of the treasure goes into the SHOP and which is going to go to the sale in April, and you know what is great enough to stay with me.  It's tough people....

Here's a peek of some of the goodies that made it into the shop over the weekend.


Farmer Joe here has been out tilling his land to start planting his crops. He's been out in the sun so long he has a bit of fading on one side and his decals are a bit faded as well. 

He's been played with and worn out but has a lot of character left to put on display. Vintage fisher price pull toy #629 made of wood with big plastic tires. Measures about 5 1/2" long x 6" tall.

I just love the way he bobbles back and forth when a child pulls him, it really does look as if he is driving through the field.

Perfect for your little farmer and/ or their nursery. 



She was an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow Pyrex primary. This little cutie is sure to bring some sunshine into your life and a smile to your face. This pyrex bowl dates back to the 1950's - 60's and is your go to bowl just the right size. Measures 3 1/4" tall X 5 3/4" diameter and is ovenware #401. She has a few light scratches along the bottom they are shown in the 2nd picture but for her age she is in great shape. 

I'm not sure but I think this tiny gem belonged to a primary set that had opposite sizes for the color. Usually we see a Large yellow with a primary.



The larger ruffle plate is super cool and retro. If you ever wonder what Disneyland was like in the 50's, well here's a little snap shot. From what I hear all of these Disneyland attractions are still there today, but with some updates of course. 
The center of the plate shows Sleeping Beauty's Castle and it says Disneyland under it.
The plate is in excellent condition the person that it came from must have treasured it very much.
Each section has a different land:
Frontierland- Mark Twain Steamboat
Fantasyland- Its a small world
Tomorrowland- Entrance to tomorrow land
Main Street USA- R.R. Station
Adventureland- Hippopotamus
New Orleans Square- Dunking the Mayor
You could use this plate as display or as a candydish
7 1/2" diameter and 1" tall

The second small, colorful, collectible souvenir plate features a picture of the Sleeping Beauty castle with the famous logo in gold.
Back of plate is stamped: Disneyland Walt Disney Productions. There is a red and gold sticker that says Made in Japan. 
The plate is also in excellent condition and was cherished.
If you collect Disneyana
souvenirs, California souvenirs or mid-century souvenirs, you've gotta have these.


Little Golden Book Prayers for Children shows some signs of wear. Cover and spine are worn, but overall pretty good condition considering age. 

It measures, in inches:
Width: 6 5/8
Height: 8
Spine: ? 
Publisher: Simon and Schuster, New York
Publishing date: 1952

Would look great in a Nursery. Great baby shower gift for the new parents that loves vintage. The illustrations are wonderfully done. One page is peeking out but not ripped.


Fisher Price train #643, produced in 1964. Excellent condition, decals are all there in near perfect condition. The body, smokestack, wheels and underpinnings are wood, with plastic cab, front pusher and pieces that make the wheels turn. This little cutie is missing the string to his front that lets your little one pull him around the house. He makes a 'click click sound' as the wheels turn. A Fisher Price toy lasts for years and will be a cherished toy for your child forever. Brightly colored, this precious little train is a keeper. Would look great on a nursery shelf until your little engineer can play with it, or perfect for your engineer right now. Thomas isn't the only train in town now.

Last but not least one that was super hard to put in the shop

Gorgeous specimen of mid-century glass snack tray by designer Georges Briard. 
This snack tray is in EXCELLENT condition with a teal, gold and white dove pattern flying with attached dip bowl and attached cheese knife. It is unusual that the knife if still attached teak knife. It has an eyelet on the underside of the bowl to which the knife is attached with a chain. The bowl is forever attached to the tray. 

This piece is totally unique and would be a beautiful addition to any bar or kitchen. Your next party will be swinging with this great artifact of the 1950s. 



 No worries, theres more to come, the pictures are in the camera but my internet has been wonky the past couple days.  Hope you enjoy all the treasures, have you found any treasure lately?
