An Americana Vignette
June 25, 2012
This is the little Ohio Art metal toy iron I bought recently.
This is a great old red metal Tonka dump truck in fine shape. It is from my vintage toy collection. The blocks are from a my favorite occasional shop, The Tattered Angel.
The little red metal ironing board is from my childhood home. It was in my laundry room in a 1950's Laundry Room Vignette.
Maybe I'll iron the wrinkles out of the flag!
Toys and Americana are a great combination!

ReplyDeleteHi Carlene: Vintage toys are my weakness. That little ironing board, iron, and truck are so cute. I have a few, and someday I will post about them but I'm certainly enjoying yours in the meantime..Happy Monday..Judy
ReplyDeleteOh this is so fabulous. I love the iron and the board with the truck, and all the other toys and blocks. How fun is that. Great vignette. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

I can't resist vintage toys either! You've got a great sampling of prime vintage specimens there.
ReplyDeleteSo cute Carlene. Like I said, we have so much in common. I recently bought a childs ironing board at the Star Mill for $4. I needed it to go with my toy iron. My older sister gave me alot of tin toys when she decided to down size. Alot of them were trucks. I love how you put this display together. So, so fun!

Hi Carlene, what a great vignette. Reminds me of my childhood in looking at the iron and ironing board.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm back from vacation and Frugal Treasures Tuesday is back up and running. Hope you make it by to join the party. : )

Hi Carlene, your toys are so cute and they remind me of my childhood toys. I played "house" all the time which included doing the ironing on my little ironing board. What fun I had! My Mom still has her all metal iron, truck and little metal airplane with folding wings. She was one of three girls so her dad must have been buying toys meant for a boy. Thanks for the very nice comment about my party. I hope you will continue to come by to visit. I will be doing my blog as usual. There are some things I am exploring and decisions to be made so I just need time to work out these new possibilities. Thank you VERY much for being such a loyal participant at the party. See you soon.......... Shannon
ReplyDeleteGreat vignette! The red ironing board is my fav! I wish I had seen your fifties set up in the laundry room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming vignette. Love your ironing board. I have my childhood ironing board in the attic, but I do have my childhood iron displayed in the laundry room. I think I'd better get the ironing board out of the attic. laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable vignette. Love the USA in the truck! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteEvery time I go garage saleing I look for an ironing board like I had when I was a young girl....I have my iron. Love the vignette together!!
ReplyDeleteLove the ironing board and iron and the whole vignette! I'm so glad I don't collect toys cuz it seems I collect everything else! LOL! But I can look at and appreciate yours!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your post because I got the inspiration for what was missing in my 4th of July display. Your little vignette is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little vignette! I love that ironing board. Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!
