Vintage pink Kitchen: [link]
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

That kitchen is awesome. Drop down ironing boards are so cool.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The March Hare, which may still exist but doesn't seem to have an online presence, is in the Paoli Shopping Center. I am pleased to find that this magical place still exists, which is also in that shopping center - [link] For years I was confused and disappointed that all hardware stores didn't have toy stores upstairs. Of course, these days, I'd more likely be downstairs drooling over Makita saws rather than coveting a Madame Alexander doll, but I have such lovely memories of browsing the toys while my parents got their boring house stuff.

Oddly, I don't have any nostalgia for all the mid-century stuff. I looked at that kitchen and shuddered.

msbelle, I wish I could hook you up with my neighbor Sarah. She's a little later in preferred vintage (more modern,) but similar styles and has the greatest furnishings. Pretty sure you'd love her place. And get withit, msbelle mom!
I am full up with wine and cheese and good company. Mmmm.
Polar bear spycam destruction fills me with unholy glee.

Polar bear spycam destruction fills me with unholy glee.
Their attitude is remarkably similar to Emmett's: "What's that? I gotta fuck with that. Can I break it? Yes!"

My thought is it clearly wasn't tested on toddlers.
But you know the bears were just looking for a chewy center.

I lived in Bryn Mawr for a spell and spent time in Paoli. That was over a decade ago. DAMN. I'm old.
That ended badly and ended up with Tracy pulling funding from Alice's daughter's internet cafe!
I didn't know that tidbit, but am not surprised. For the longest, I thought TC was in a relationship with Rebecca Walker, not Alice.
Glad the squirrel store syringes arrived.
I saw Burrell today and we delved into the nail polish box. I have on my left hand purple, green, ice blue, mint green and nude polishes since I was testing. Dana, you did an amazing job packing them! I loved that they were all color sorted.
