It's all so Mickey Mouse

(please visit Suzanne at Colorado Lady for more Vintage Thingie Thursday fun!)

I saw Suzanne's post today for Vintage Thingie Thursday and although I should be doing (many!!!) other things, I just had to contribute some of the mickey mouse stuff that I've found up at my parents house recently.

Please forgive me, my dear VTT friends, I won't be able to visit all of you and make comments today as I have done in the past. I am so overloaded with my father's Estate and I hope you will understand. I did want to share these things with you though as I've had so much fun participating in VTT and enjoyed all of you so much and miss you.

If you're a child of the fifties and sixties, you may well remember these things ...

My mom saved (almost) everything and here are my brother's Mickey Mouse bath toys, which were handed down to me. Gosh, I loved these so much at bath time!



Boy my brother was a lucky kid! He also had this fun Mickey Mouse Club Newsreel Camera.



Sadly it's missing a leg and won't stand up anymore ... sniffle sniffle boo hoooooooo


I also found two issues of my brothers Walt Disney's Magazine (formerly the Mickey Mouse Club Magazine), which I'll share down the road but I wanted to share two merchandise ads with you today since they have MM in them.

(I came across my brothers Mickey Mouse Club membership card and have no idea where I put it among the gazillion of boxes - hopefully it will resurface soon!)

  7. Hi Sally,
    It's been a while since I've been able to stop by long enough to type. Still busy here, but wish it was with more fun things..like goin to the Ant. Mall. Oh well..........
    Love the Mickey memories. In the late 60's we had reruns on TV of the Annette and Cubby MM Club. Didn't get any new versions..hmm.
    Glad you are having an exciting excavation of memories.
