A while ago my Mom gave me some old toys out of “my” closet – you know the one that is in her house that is part of the room I grew up in until I was 18… yeah that closet.
The box she gave me while threatening to toss it included my little kitchen toys that I remember playing with a lot as a little girl, pretending to cook up something, probably for her.
So the other day I was out doing some yard work and putzing around the garage when I found the box and when Katie girl saw the contents she freaked out.
“Kitchen!!” she said.
Next thing I knew I had spread a blanket out for her on the lawn in the shade while she played with my toys…
…and it was SO fun to watch! Of course now they are her toys and she has since moved them into her kitchen in her room. And yes, it is just too awesome to see her playing with the same toys I did, so many years ago.

That is SO COOL!! I love the vintage kitchen toys – gorgeous and they’re in good condition too! You should keep it for your future grandchildren 🙂

I LOVE that your Mom kept these and that K was over the moon about them. I can imagine the joy. And her hair! So gorgeous. 🙂
Carrie says
Great that your mom kept them! I had that little stovetop and loved how the coil got hot (red)!
Meagan says
How cool! I love that she was so excited about them. My mom kept a little ride-on van of mine and Andrew has ridden it before. (It’s still at their house.) it was really fun to see!

My mom kept ALL of my toys…some they really should’ve been tossed in 1976. I do love when my kids play with some of my old treasures though. So cute!

That is so cool that your mom kept all of those toys all of these years. I don’t think my mom has any of that stuff. But of course we moved around a LOT.
Jen says
I had those same toys growing up. How fun to watch her play with them.

woah, I would pay top dollar for those vintage beauties. Seriously. And yes, so fun watching our kids play with our old toys. Michael’s mom gave me a few “boy” toys for my guys to play with. I guess what comes around really goes around….
