Vintage Wooden Blocks PLAY from wlove
An item on the Front Page of Etsy caught my eye the other day. It got me reminiscing on my childhood. When was it that we stopped playing pretend? When was it that our imaginations were replaced with reality? When is the last time you played house?? And no, I don't mean all of the things you do around your home now, but the fun times we had engrossed in our fantasy grownup lives!
So here's a small collection that I hope stirs up some fond memories for you as well!

i don't know the answer, but those clothespins bring back memories of fresh laundry hanging on my mom's clothesline. we had the phone in that color, too.
i don't even know! but i do know that all those photos made me nostalgic for some play time! and i'm going to guess... the toy vacuum set??
I love these.
I've always wanted an antique/vintage store (a real one so I can actually interact with the people) so people will come in and find memories..
Hmm I don't know but great finds!!
Great finds! I love the phone, the color is awesome!
Hee hee, I'm guessing the miniture doll cabinet! What I need is that cute tea towel that says "Do the Dishes"!
Great finds! I love that crochet sandwich!! So adorable! Wish I had the talent to crochet.
wow what great finds! i love them all!
That phone is so, so cool! I can imagine myself settling in for a long chat and ending up with a rotary dial imprinted on my cheek :)
Fun post:) Yes, it does make me think of days yonder....
Great post! I remember those trimline dial phones!
I love that phone and the iron :)
I'm guessing the cabinet inspired you?
