A to Z challenge letter V vying for one of the last spots in this challenge. I just picked up this herd of Schleich cattle bagged $4.99 at thrift.
I am buying back the toys of my childhood. These Schleich figurines were one of my favorites. I was allowed to buy one figurine at a time as a child when we went to the toy store.
I do know that all of my childhood toys disappeared. I think my parents gave them away when I moved away from home.
My bucket list of toys to find secondhand (I could be dreaming on this list)
Original 1959 Barbie
Kenner Blythe Doll
Kenner Blythe Doll
The original 9 Beanie Babies
Garbage Pail Kids Cards
I already collect the small G.I. Joe figurines and have a near battalion of them. Marbles are another item I pick up at thrift whenever I see them.
I also like to sketch these toys and here is one of a mini-Bratz doll.
A to Z challenge letter W day is Weird and Wacky items found at thrift.
Sounds like you are having fun collecting things you love. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI thought they were real cows in that photo. I've never thought about getting back my toys though I think most of them are generic, not as specific as your list. Beanie Babies - haven't seen them much. I've never had a Barbie but I had wanted one as a child but now I don't actually want want. Cute drawing.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
I love the older Schleich animals! I find them now and again in the Goodwill bins. I have quite a few dogs, not all vintage. There was a horse last week, but I gave it to a girl looking for anything. It was one of the German made ones. My childhood toys were mostly sold at a garage sale when I was 12, we were going to be out of the country for a year (at least, we didn't know how long at the time), and rent out our house. I remember a man looking at my Barbie with a loupe! It was the bubble haired, pearl earringed, zebra bathing suited one. Yes, even way back then she was a collector's item!
ReplyDeleteOh, those farm animals, I had them too. they were so expensive that I only got them as a gift. Wonder where they are now? My prize item was a sow with piglets. I still have at least one of those ;)
