The kitchen looks pretty good, and will will improve with a little cleaning up.
That's not exactly what I had in mind. Get busy guys. |
That's more like it. |

Sample Skipper scrubs out the freezer.
Fashion Queen tries to get those yellow marks off the table.
Color Magic Skipper has a strange idea of 'helping clean up'.
Ok, everybody, you've earned a break. Stop and have a drink.
Any suggestion of food or drink of course, attracts guys. Typically, Allan and Ricky show up to scope out the fridge. It's a little early. No food has arrived yet. There is milk and pop though. And ice.
Conscientious Sample Skipper and Fashion Queen continue to work and get those dishes done.
The Dream Kitchen isn't in perfect shape, but it's not too bad, other than the dishwasher having a broken counter top.(All the pieces are here, so I may be able to repair it somewhat.)
It also came with loads of dishes and stuff, including the the dish draining rack,salt and pepper shakers,the fridge shelves and a crisper drawer, and both cute little ice cube trays WITH the ice! There were also some actual Mattel Barbie utensils to a couple of vintage sets.
I stopped at Goodwill quickly today to get change to pay for the Dream Kitchen and found a brand new roll of black and white checked Contact paper that makes a perfect kitchen floor. (And another Moxie Girl...with feet this time!)
There are a couple of 70's pieces I'll get rid of to help defray the cost of the Dream Kitchen, because without doing that I couldn't really afford to spend money on myself right now. Now that I think about it, with all the bad things that have been happening to me and around me, (My best friend has been having heart trouble lately, and my son cut his face and had to have stitches, and today I sliced my finger open on some broken glass.), this has been plopped in my lap to remind me that,while it doesn't make up for the heart problems or the facial scar, it at least means that not everything coming my way is bad. At this point a little hope means a lot!
I never knew I wanted one of those before >.<
ReplyDeleteCute as heck!
Thought you had seen those before.Anyway, that's kind of what I thought the first time I saw it!Maybe I'll leave it to you in my will. Fuzz has already nailed the glow in the dark lion and my bed!
DeleteI received one of these when I was 7 years old in 1961. It was my favorite toy ever, played with those kitchen things for years. I've seen the Deluxe Dream Kitchen on E-Bay. In 1961, the price was $11.88 !!! I saw them at our local A and P super market, begged parents to buy it for me. It was my only Christmas present that year, and i couldn't have been happier.
ReplyDelete$11.88! Isn't that amazing? Makes you wish you had a time machine, doesn't it? I'd love to know if you still have your Dream Kitchen, and did you let your kids play with it?
ReplyDeleteOh no, I don't have the set. Wish I did. I wanted to buy it on E-Bay but it was about $100.00. I loved looking at pictures of it, brought back some nice memories. Time machine? Yes, wish I had one. Been checking out color forms recently, no stores in my area carry them any more, but I can purchased them on line.
ReplyDeleteI had Colorforms too. My oldest daughter LOVED her Colorforms. She played with them every morning while she was potty training. (Literally WHILE she was.They kept her on it long enough and she didn't mind sitting there if she had her Colorforms.)Keep looking for your kitchen. Some day you'll come across an amazingly priced one. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI found one in the garbage and its bidding on eBay for $ 425.oo
ReplyDeleteWell, It's LISTED at $425. That seems a bit steep, even with the box. It looks great though! Who throws stuff like this away?!
DeleteI have a full set that’s intact but the refrigerator door handle is broken. I’ll need to glue it back on.
ReplyDeleteI have this kitchen set, and was hoping someone out there knows what size the little toy motor is inside the oven? and what size batteries are required?
ReplyDeleteIt takes two C batteries. I don't know about the motor.
