I remember going with my gran when I was a kid, and then getting loads of 'retro' stuff at auctions when I was a teenager. Really, no-one wanted that stuff back then! I used to buy all the stuff that was left over for next to nothing!<br /><br />I LOVE the old tin toys you got there - so gorgeous.<br /><br />I just read your 'about me'and I'm intrigued to see your Vera scarves collection- I don't know about those!i'm going to google her now! <br /><br />Love your blog!

Really don't hear about them around here. Would love to go sometime. I love and collect tin toys. A few years ago one of my older sisters was down sizing and gave me all of her tin toys. I love them! She had some fun items. I love old games too. That mini croquet is too cute!
