Funny little items I've been buying for myself lately. I think I could safely sum up my recent purchases as 'things a 6 year old boy might have/hoard under floor boards'
And here we have the whole lot of it together. In good 'ol summer vacation fashion, it makes me want to go out and throw water balloons or play a prank on one of my neighbors.
.... Lets see - there's an abacus from Cafe Society, noise makers/kat kazoos, bow ties, a goldfish that hangs on the wall, and a book quite appropriately titled "Try and Stop Me"
Now, if I could just get interested in wiffle ball, I could have quite the pep team!
. . .
Oh! And this little canister! I've actually had it for about 3 years now. But, it's so funny to me. First because - I am not a saver of pennies - however, I am a saver of junk - and so was this little guy!
Some of my favorite of his findings/hoardings...
Yes, that's actually a tooth-pick. And who doesn't need their very own on/off switch!? ...I know I have an old toy pistol somewhere around the house .... all I'm missing are the metal jacks and marbles to leave around the living room for my roommates to slip on!

I love all your tiny little findings. I'm glad to be able to "hoard" up the images of them. :)
Everything is just so cute! You always find the best things... :)
those cat kazoos are amazing!
Aww goshh--this post made me all sorts of happy!! I love every special 'lil thing you find..and good golly those kat kazoos are killing me!! Aww..I love collecting kinda kiddy things! Kat always makes fun of my silly old toys and says someday when I have kids they'll be playin' with them and the toys will sound all creepy and slow and I'll have them dressed up in Victorian clothes haha...Oh dear.
