Brimtoy

Dear Friends Down Under,
Thinking of you with the latest news of this earthquake.
I am learning my geography, where Darwin is in relation to Christchurch and Canberra and Sydney. Checking to see how you are faring in this latest natural disaster. Hope all are well. C

Brimtoy made a tin kitchen in 16th  scale. They were an English company who began in 1914. They later merged with the Wells Co. and are also know for their trains.

The red and white is so crisp and the graphics are so 1940's to me.

 I tried them in the Hexagon house kitchen as they are the right scale but,

they don't have the right edge to really bring out this house.  The Tomy and Fisher Price look better.

If you wish to see more Brimtoy on Flickr, they have their own page. Go here:

Holiday Baking

Gracie Grecon loves to bake. Mrs. Grecon tells her neighbor Mrs. Felt, "We can hardly keep

enough flour in the house!" Mrs. Felt replied "She'll make someone a fine wife some day". Little did they know Gracie, with the precision she learned in baking would go on to become a corporate ligator and choose not to marry any man she met.
