Teacher treasures

Let's go shopping!!! This is a Campus Cutie from Louis Marx co. . From what I can discover there are about eight figures. They were made in 1964 ish. How fun.
These teacher aids are my favorite find of the weekend. They were waiting for ME. They were at an estate sale that I had passed by want to get to a church sale. I thought I would stop in on my way home as it was close to home. Can we say treasure? The picture cards measure 10x19 and there are 35 of them. I paid $15.00 for them. Then there was a whole box of teacher items for $3.00. It contained all sorts of flash cards and teaching items.





This is one of my favorites ewwwwwww!







We had this vacuum, ours was turquoise. We called it the green pig.












Here is just a sample of the flash cards. I remember wanting to be the quickest in class reading the flash cards....hmmm I wonder if I was...don't remember that.









I am going to make charms out of these. What a great teacher gift that would make, a whole bracelet full.






Oh my word, the vintage books they had for sale at the church sale. I bought 19 vintage Nancy Drew. They have book plates in them with dates in them late 40's early 50's.









I am going to try and convince my daughter Ivy to read them. She is into the Vampire books right now...so we will see.
Now scoot on over and peek here to see what others found for JUNKIN MONDAY
