This scarf was given to me by a very sweet person by the name of Beverley. While in the process of packing for a move to another place, she came upon this scarf, one that she had had since she was a child and decided to find a good home for it where it would be safe and shared with others. So she searched the internet. Lucky for me, she found my blog site! What a wonderful gift, one that I will cherish! Circa 1960s
Astro Boy Tin Bucket for playing at the beach. My good friend Goro gave it to me while I was visiting Tokyo. There's an emboss of two goldfish on the bottom of the bucket for making impressions in the sand. Circa 1960s.
