These were an interesting little buy last week.
A group of three vintage handmade toy houses.
They’re constructed of ply around a solid block of wood – then painted.
We’re not sure when they date from, although they obviously have a bit of age – 1940s/50s probably.
We love these naive toys and folk art.
Probably made by dad or grandad for a young child… very sweet!
The new shop department we’ve been promising is up & running. Childs Play has a mixture of traditional toys & games…
…piggy banks…
…tins…
…books…
…and furniture such as desks, chairs and blackboards.
Here’s our most recent acquisition – a fab 1960s cot.
So come check us out – we’re adding new items all the time!
In preparation for our new Child’s Play section on the H is for Home website, we’ve been collecting some lovely vintage children’s books.
Eye-catching colours & fab illustrations are often a good starting point for us.
We have a few series of books - including…
Mr Men… here’s Mr Jelly in action from 1970s British TV
Thomas the Tank Engine… famously narrated by Ringo Starr!
and the This is…
We were collecting these even before we had our new shop section in mind!
And this is our most recent acquisition…
It’s a 1960s listen & read-along book – complete with it’s original vinyl record!
Hope you’ve enjoyed a peek at things to come – we’ll let you know when our new section goes live.
