Sorry for the long break. Life has been crazy for a while now, but things seem to have slowed down for the moment, so thought I'd toss up a quick post to let you all know that I am still here, I have not given up on this blog and I'm thankful to all of you who have stuck with me through my severe writing drought. I am amazed at how many hits my blog gets every month, even when I'm not posting. Thanks guys! You rock!
I also have good news: over the past non-writing months, I managed to acquire both the 1989 and 1990 Fisher Price Toy Fair Catalogs. These are the 'dealer catalogs' that This Old Toy periodically refers to in its Precious Places listings.
The 1990 catalog has only 5 pages of Precious Places, but two of those pages are the County Fair Sets, so that makes it worth owning in my book.
There is some stuff in them that my Precious Places obsessed self finds interesting. I'll try to post about it soon, but in the mean time, if any of you are interested in getting your hands on your own copy, I recommend eBay. They come up at regular intervals, and it just so happens that they are both currently listed for sale. Just go to eBay and search for "Fisher Price Catalog" and they should come up.
Do any of you have the Toy Fair Catalogs? If so, what is your favorite page? Anything that you find intriguing? Let me know!
