Welcome to Anybody Home!

Here you will find scattered pictures from my point and shoot camera, random thoughts from my little world, treasured memories of days gone by, hopeful dreams of the days yet to come, and a bunch of ideas - because I've always got ideas!

February Favorites


Madame Alexander Happy Meal Dolls (click to enlarge)!


I'd never known these were Happy Meal toys until I found my first one - still in the wrapper - at an antique mall in Muskegon.
If I remember correctly, I paid $1.99 for one of the flower girls.
After that purchase I started finding them in thrift stores.


Most of mine came in 25 cent baggies with a bunch of other toys one would normally find under the seats in the car if one were to still have Happy Meal eating children in ones home.

I do not.







I've amassed quite the crowd!





If I recall, my original intention was to use them in shadow boxes. I have one that I altered a bit in an 'emergency girlfriend' box. Then I thought how great they would be in the cabinet that I want to change into a dollhouse some day. PERFECT SIZE for that. But presently they live in a bin in the toy closet. They seem a bit bored, but otherwise content.

You must be VERY organized! I think you should post pictues of how you store all of your collections so I could at least try to better organize my stuff!

Wow!! My girls had some of the Wizard of Oz ones - they went to the thrift store.

I absolutely love the Wizard of Oz ones.

We usually get a set of the Wizard of Oz ones donated to our Lilac Ball for a prize every year from the place that does their marketing. First time I'd ever seen them!
