turning pro

Ive been busy the last few days
I even managed to get out of the house friday-saturday
Which was good because even though Im a shut in I was starting to get cabin fever.



So after only getting a couple hours of sleep I got up on friday and got the oil changed in the car..and then I talked my husband into fitting a flea market into our already cramped schedule..He didnt want to take me so I said I wouldnt take long and he said yeah..thats what you said last time and you took 2 or more hours..
Well I showed him I only took 30 minutes and I got a lot of stuff..I think im going pro.

                                                   Heres some of what I found


                                     First up this vintage book with great illustrations
                                                   a clown roly poly pretty neat
                                                                Herself the elf dolls
                                       A squeaky Kewpie and a old toy caveman doll by dreamland creations
                                        Not sure if Im keeping the kewpie or selling it
                                            As you can see the caveman has some issues
                                            he has been at the flea market since they opened 3 yrs ago
                                             so I thought it was time he had a home
                                             its to bad about the damage because he is pretty rare.
     
                                          Playskool Roly Poly I love the sounds it makes

                                                    Vintage Barbie flippers
                                          So cracker jack looking cowboys and indians
 
Ive been doing my own picture taking lately so its not as good as when my husband does it
Im sure Ill get the hang of it soon :)
 
 
And I still had time to do all the other stuff
thank you coffee.

Squeaky toys

Ive always been into toy collecting but now im into a new type of toy collecting..Squeaky toys

I always thought that Squeaky toys were only for dogs but now I know different.

Besides collecting them for myself I also enjoy buying them to sell.


It all started with etsy I found this wonderful little russian store full of really cute squeaky toys
I picked out a cat and then after that I found many other wonderful stores
the next time I bought squeakys I bought a panda and a pink squirrel and then I sort of quit buying them for a bit and then the last monthes I started buying them again
Heres my growing collection first shot is with all of them together
                                             My cute little clock man :)
                                                                 Woodland bear doll
                                                    




Ive also been trying to learn all I can about squeaky toys the history the places that made them.

I bought this book awhile back hoping it would teach me some stuff  It was fun to look at but I didnt learn much..but at the time the book was written information wasnt as easy to get as it is now.



Here are the squeaky toys I found on my last flea market adventure

                                                    Edward Mobley cat by sun rubber
                                                  Ruth E newton doll by Sun rubber


The squeakys are in fairly good shape but the cat has some deflation issues going on
im not sure what you do about that?

My quest of learning all that I can continues and its really fun.

I love finding new hobbies it makes life interesting.



South park....



 So today I had some horrible news.......South park wont be returning until September and its going to only have 10 episodes I already thought they didnt have enough per season they usually have 14..
So im pretty bothered by the whole thing..My hope is that when the box sets come out they will be cheaper.

As crazy as this might seem if they went off the air it would sort of be like losing a friend being a 90s child I grew up with them..I do however get kind of jealous that I had to grow up and they didnt..its a strange thought if they had aged  they would be about 24.


..........................on the bright side
Last weekend I went shopping and I had been resisting my urge to visit toys r us but I finally went and I found a deluxe talking Cartman on sale for 9.00 it was a steal.
I havent put batteries in him yet to see what he says.

the week before that I found south park toys in a machine to buy It put me in a pretty good mood.


In fourth grade I really didnt understand the show..it actually seemed kind of stupid to me..
I thought Kenny was a alien and I thought that a talking piece of poop was just stupid.but its really grown on me.
