so, i bought myself a xmas present. [View all]

had a shitty xmas. a fb friend posted a pic of an old fisher price farm. that stuff was my kids' favorite. and mine. i collected a boatload of it when they were little, including a big lot from my sister from her much older kids.
i had it all in a rented storeroom, waiting for the grandkids (of which i have little hope). through some f'ups related to my divorce, the storeroom ended up getting auctioned.

boy howdy, whoever got it is probably still chuckling.
i went on ebay and started looking at the vintage little people. i nearly cried.
some of that stuff is going for ssoooo much money. and all in played with condition. if you have a full set of anything, it is easily in the $100's.

i still have a barn that i picked up later and never got into storage. this was my fave. sleepy eyed cows, and goofy sheep. and chickens.
i couldnt help myself. i ended up buying a couple of good sized lots. got most of the farm parts between them.
close to $200. but hey, i really deserved a present.

now all i need is the grandkids. any leads on that from my friends here?
