  2. Yes, I have a few pieces of Frankoma Pottery and my Mom had a set of Western Style dishes made to look like wagon wheels. The pottery was made in Oklahoma.

  3. Love all your finds Heidi, especially the little jumbo, he is soo cute. I love the roller skates, I roller skated everywhere when I was a kid, mine very very similar. The birds are amazing and I am a sucker for anything 'owl'!

    Can't wait the see the driving moose! Enjoy the rest of the week, tam x

    p.s. I loved the last post, and the front/back seat driver story, and talking with your hands, sounds like you had a fun trip!

  21. So many fun finds! The frog looks familiar - perhaps like on my kids had when they were small in the 70s?

  26. Hi! I have just found your blog and will start following because it is so charming!
    I had a frog like that, as did my sisters, probably late 60's early 70's. I love playing with him! I also had roller skates very similar that I would jump between the cracks in the sidewalk!
    Blessings,
    Susie
