I loved books on record when I was a kid. I always went mad looking for mum or dad to turn the record over so I could keep on with the story. At least they knew they had a good 20min stretch or so before I'd require their attention.
Oh my I love your site! And you have a really good eye, awesome vintage finds! Hope to feature your finds in my blog one of these days. I'll link you in!
What a brilliant find! We always come home from our fave secondhand shop with at least 1 book for the 4yo (argh - overflowing bookshelves!). Last week I scored Blinky Bill for $2. A childhood favourite of mine.
I LOVE the way things like this can bring back childhood memories for our generation :-) LittleByrd - I don't have a record player with us here in Oz but isn't this just the perfect excuse to hunt down a gorgeous vintage aqua one!
What fun! I remember these and the excitement of getting home to listen to them. You could order them in the Scholastic readers back in the day. Such a simple childhood joy... xoxoxo Franny
Hi, My name is Alice and this is my space to share my vintage finds and things I love. Having lived in Sydney, Australia for many years our family of five returned to Dublin, Ireland to live in July 2014.
Formerly a graphic designer, I'm currently a stay-at-home-mum with 3 little munchkins. I love all things vintage, particularly kitchenware and cute decor for my boys. My favourite way to relax is to go wandering through flea markets and op shops/thrift stores and I love sharing my favourite finds on this blog :-)
