Fisher-Price Main Street Backdrop/Billboard

This Main Street Backdrop or Billboard goes to the Main Street Toy and would slide up and down to make a 2nd story level. It makes a cute decoration for my son's room on a shelf.

Fisher Price Discovery Beads Schoolhouse and Farmhouse


Fun toys for infants and toddlers. The bus and tractor make a clicking noise as they are slid across. The other beads turn and slide for four rows of fun.

Train Station Carousel Toy

This is a rare Shelcore spin top train station carousel toy. My son (who is obsessed with trains) LOVES this toy. To make it go, you push the big red button down and the train goes spinning by and rings a bell. Although it is not that old, only a small amount of this toy was made.

Fisher Price School



This was my all time favorite toy growing up. This one is missing the playground that slides underneath it, but I will find one. This school is in great condition and the alphabet still scrolls through. This toy does so much, from the moving lunch line, to the trapped door inside the classroom, it even has a chalkboard to write on. SO FUN!

Tupperware Toys Pick-em-up truck



This vintage little truck has a foam roller on the bottom that picks up blocks. The original blocks were not with it, but I found these perfect little tiny wooden blocks at Michaels. The truck picks them up just great. This toy has been lots of fun for my 2 year old son. My older brothers remember having this toy and they said they remember pretending to bale hay.

Fisher Price Play Family Farm



I am sure almost anyone over 20 remembers this. The door still MOOs when it opens. It is in perfect condition. It seriously looks like it is brand new. I have lots of fun memories of this barn, and was SO excited to find it.

Fisher Price Humpty Dumpty

This cute little Fisher Price Humpty Dumpty is only missing one thing, the pull string. It should have a string that ties to his bow-tie. When you push him (or pull him along) his arms spin in circles. I definitely remember this toy, and it makes a great little decoration for my son's room.

old wall hanging - new chalkboard decoration


I found this old wall hanging painted an ugly green. I think it is made for a calender to hang on? Anyway, the first thing I thought of was CHALKBOARD!!! So I bought it and painted the main part with Valspar chalkboard paint. I then covered that part with tape and newspaper and spraypainted the rest Ivory. After it dried, I sanded the edges and rubbed stain on the edges and anywhere that I wanted it to look antiqued. It is hanging by my front door and is great for keys to hang on and REMINDERS! I am so glad I spent the four dollars! :)

Vintage fisher price cupcakes, cookies, & ice cream

I just love these vintage cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream scoops. My husband had these when he was little and my little boy loves playing with them at grandma's house. (She still has a whole set)! I was really excited to find this many! They really are a fun toy.
