#40 FP CHATTERPHONE


I have fond memories of this classic favourite and it is having another moment of popularity as it is one of the many classic Fisher-Price toys that has been reissued.This toddler pull toy was created in 1962 and featured a smiling face and when pulled its eyes moved up and down and it made a chattering noise. The rotary phone top made a bell noise when dialed around and was originally made of wood. This little painting would be a cute addition to a playful nursery!

#38 ROTARY PHONE

Yes, our rotary phones with the stretchy cord, carrying it around my the handset cradle. The feel of the handset - this classic style is still current somehow with the availability of the handset for IPhones - hilarious! I do miss the dial back from each number though, and the fact that I used to actually have phone numbers memorized. Gotta work on that!

SOLD!

#37 FIGURE SKATING BADGES


These skating badges have been on my list for quite some time & I finally got a moment to get back to this everlasting project! These skating badges like the Brownie and swimming badges before were so fun to earn and such a great memory of childhood activity looking back! Also love the simplicity of the wing/blade design.

#36 SNOOPY


I took a small poll to see who was a favourite dog from childhood & Snoopy was a clear favourite! So I had to include him to round out some of the recent "dogs of the 80's" paintings. Who doesn't love Snoopy! 

SOLD!
#35 POUND PUPPY


I wanted to include more little dogs into this project and thought that these little stuffed animals would fit right in. Did you adopt a Pound Puppy in the 80's? I had one that looked similar to this & they arrived in cute little dog house packaging.

SOLD!

#34 FP DOG

This dog from the beloved Fisher-Price character collection is a favourite of mine and has been on the list since the beginning! He was also available with a yellow collar I believe, yet love the red. I could honestly paint every vintage toy from Fisher-Price to be part of this collection! but will try to limit myself!! Which was your favourite FP "character"?

SOLD!
