Tulsa Vintage Show

My wife and ventured out to the fair grounds today to the Tulsa Vintage Show.  There were over 250 booths with all kinds of antiques and vintage collectible items.

 I was impressed by these miniature books  at one booth.  
I had never seen so many in one place before.

I came across this antique dollhosue labeled Shoenhut 1915. 

It had some furniture and accessories inside.  It was a little out of my price range, 
but fun to look at.


Then I came across this booth with all kinds of miniatures and dollhouse furniture.


I dug through the bins and found a couple of pieces that I knew I didn't have.

I ended up picking up the Renwall ironing board to put with my tin litho house and a Strombecker walnut magazine table.

You can see the Strombecker marking under the tabletop.

Here is a picture of the ironing board. It looks great in the house.

The ironing board has folding legs.


Then we came home and I started experimenting with paint for the stonework on the cabin.

Plastic Furniture my 200th Post!

I picked up a few more pieces of plastic furniture the other day and when I went to place it with my other pieces, I realized that my box of plastic has grown into quite a collection.  Most pieces are by Renwal and some are by Ideal.  



The bathroom pieces are all in great shape and were in a bag with a few other pieces at an estate sale a few weeks ago.

 I probably need to find some chairs for the living room set.  
Even though I don't smoke, I have always liked the ashtray.  
It is reminiscent of a different era.

 These are the music room pieces that I have.  The small radio has tubes molded into the back and the floor model has a pull-out drawer with a record player.

 The kitchen is kind of mix.  The sink belonged to my great grandmother.  The white refrigerator and stove are by Ideal and the pink washing machine is by Renwal.  I am not sure if the cabinet is part of a kitchen set, but it seems to fit. ( and has a working drawer)


I assume that the bedroom probably originally had two twin beds.  
The alarm clock is one of my favorites and has resided in several of my houses over the years.  I have a red one too.

Of all my pieces, I think that I like the lines on these the best.  I have had the buffet and cabinet for several years.  The Buffet has a working drawer in the middle.  


I picked up this Renwal #27 baby scooter at an estate sale


Probably time to find a house for this collection ?
