Collection Challenge #121 - Squeaky Toys Part II

Sheryl asked to see my collection of squeaky toys after catching a glimpse of them in my studio windowsills.  I did this collection on challenge #73.  HOWEVER, collections grow, and grow and grow. When I did this category the first time round I had 12 toys.  I counted and my collection has now grown to 35.  Sheryl, it is time to update and share this collection again.

This is my most recent squeak.  He is the Santa on the right and I got him off Ebay. I don't usually buy squeaky toys off Ebay, but could not resist a good Santa. (note the SC on his belt buckle for Santa Clause)

Love this stork.

A fireman is a good person to have around when needed.

Love the big eyed swan.

My blogland friend Marci of Parsley Vintage sent me this monkey.

Frogs and kangaroos hop.

Why, helllloooo sailor!

If one has this many squeaky toys a parade should be in order.

This collection has certainly grown since my earlier post in October of 2011.  As a side note, most of my collection is estate or locally found.  I believe that Rempel (bunny, stork, rooster and lamb) makes the cutest characters.  What squeaky fun!

If you have an idea for a future collection challenge leave me a comment snd finish the sentence "show me your collection of _____." Hope you enjoyed the squeaky show Sheryl!

You have quite the charming collection. I bet Miss Renee would gladly take a few of them off your hands (smile). Love the flashcards with your displays. You always take the best pics.

Apart from the Mobley squeak dog I had as a child, I just never see these things around here! Another great collection, and you shared them in such a cute way, with the flash cards. Squeak, squeak!

One of your most charming collections and definitely some very fun photos. A happy little start to my morning seeing this. Thanks. Ethel! :-)

[Kathy]

That little Kewpie-type pip squeak is the cutest thing EVER!

I've fallen in love with a stork!! OMG~adorable......now I NEED one. Thanks so much for the maker-Rempel.
ps....saw the stork bank way way back and also fell in love-guess what??? now I have 2! I am still looking for that HUGE one you have in the studio! HA

[Mitzi Curi]

That was a very special collection, and a great presentation, I might add! Love the flash cards!

[Mitzi Curi]

...and I should mention the stork was my favorite, too!

Even more cute squeaks ! It has grown into an even better collection. Keep going Laurie ! I like the way you photographed them as well .... very nicely displayed.

We have that same frog with the hat. When we bought it at a yard sale years ago my husband taped up the hole on the bottom, to preserve the bathwater still inside it from some kid's bath!

Such a neat squeaky collection!! What era are these from? Love the "laughed"one!! ;) xo Heather

[Doreen]

What a great collection! They look good altogether and all alone too. Love the pink elephant and the rooster.Of course they're all cute! I have quite a collection too.I think I'm going to gather them all up and give them places to show themselves off.You're so good at displays! I might even pull out my seasonal ones just for fun too.
Wish I had a magic studio like you to show them off at twilight LOL
Thanks for sharing :-)

I bought five squeaky toys at a sale last week. I said they were to add to my collection and both of the other occupants of the house said, "You collect Squeaky toys?" So, I went in my office and gathered up seven that I could see. I have others in my holiday collections too.

Isn't it amazing what used to entertain a baby versus the I Pad apps they have now?????

[Elizabeth]

Laurie, I tell you to entertain myself while stuck in traffic, I try to think of collection you haven't shown us yet. I can't think of a one. I hope someone does because they are so much fun! Come on 120!!! Have a great weekend. E

[Erica / Golden Egg Vintage]

I think the FISH is my favorite! What a group of cuties! I don't have a single squeak toy. Uh Oh!
Erica :)

[Marci]

That last picture of them all displayed together is the greatest! My favorites are the stork and that little girl that looks like she did something naughty. Reminds me of my daughter. HA

[Sheryl Remy]

Thank you Laurie for showing your squeaky toys one more time. Shara's right. It is tough to think of a collection you haven't shared. My favorites were the cartoon characters. I think I saw Little Lulu and Snuffles. That shows you where I spent my Saturday mornings.
