Now for your Tuesday morning vintage fun!  Hmm, maybe that should be my thing?  Tuesday Morning Vintage fun?  I probably can't make that commitment.  Too many Tuesdays!

I found Dapper Dan at a yard sale about a year and 1/2 ago.  It was not a great sale (i.e. too much new stuff) but then back in a corner, with a bunch of boring plastic toys, there he was!  I brought him home to the kids and they played with him for a day or 2 and then up on the shelf he sat.  We had a toy clean out over the weekend and they agreed that he could go.  Boo Hoo!  I put him in my vintage shop since he is barely played with an someone might love all this vintage Playskool cuteness in such good condition, right?
