TOYS FROM GRANDMA: Of all kids instruments my Gran had an Schylling accordion waiting for us the last time we visited. She not only has this one above, but a purple one too. It’s the coolest. Especially when Jax plays a tune on Sunday morning to wake up Daddy. Ha! We’re keeping it. It’s not vintage…you can buy it brand new here.

TOYS FROM GRANDMA: I’m a lover of vintage things. Only my gran would have cardboard boxes full of old blocks…different sizes, colors, incredible letters. I think a few of these are from a city collection, like these. I tried to research when they were made, but had no luck. But I did do a little DIY with them, I will be posting it soon!

edit: I just saw that Uppercase Magazine 14 actually had blocks like these featured in their collection section.
TOYS FROM GRANDMA: I’m not big on things that are monogrammed, but I do get excited when I see my name on something. She could not wait to give this little vintage set to me! Not only did this Jax Case have one, but both of my kids’ nicknames on it! I mean. Even my husband was like…whoa that’s pretty cool. Definitely a keepsake.

TOYS FROM GRANDMA: I have so many fun toys to post…sorry I am a little behind.
I immediately said ‘yes’ when my grandma showed me this little guy. I remember playing with a bigger version when I was a kid…pretty sure the dentist office had one too.

TOYS FROM GRANDMA: a new series. My gran has been working at her parish’s local thrift store for quite sometime. She is always coming across the greatest toys…timeless treasures that she knows I will love. Every time we go, she has a box (or two) ready for us to go through. By the way, my husband just loves when I bring MORE toys home…ha!
Well get a load of this incredible wooden Cragston piano. My mouth dropped. Jax loves it too! Cragston made mostly tin robots and cars throughout the mid 60s. I haven’t been able to find too much history on this little baby grand, so if you know anything about it, please share.
I am visiting my grandma this weekend…curious to see what she has waiting for us.
Happy Friday! xo
