Retro Toys! レトロ玩具



Amane stayed with grandparents last weekend, which means we had some time to browse stores a little bit.  Almost 2 year old toddler is too curious to shop with!

My husband is a big fan of foreign films ( it really surprises me how people don't watch foreign movies here because they can't be bothered to read subtitles! They are missing out so much ) and Burns and Noble had a sale on Criterion movies, so we decided to check it out.  While he was deciding which movie to get, Kaisei and I wondered around the store and found those precious toys.  I love anything retro, vintage and antique.  I had to fight my desire to buy all of them and finally, my willpower won, I was very proud of myself.  Mainly because Amane usually don't like the toys I get her just because I like how they look, so I want to bring her and let her decide.  They also had a record player, that was super adorable, too!
To have toy storage set up is top of my to do list right now, so I guess it was for the best we didn't get any of them!  I always forget how much toys we have at home...something needs be done, quick.

何だか憎めないこの面構え





週末雨音は旦那実家へ遠征。
この機会を逃すまいと、海晴が産まれて一旦頓挫していた「人を呼べる家作り」の為の買い物へ。
もうすぐ2歳の幼児を連れての家具屋はまぁー落ち着いては見れませんのでね。はい。
そして遂に念願の本棚を購入!届くのは今週水曜、わくわく〜

更に邦画大好きな旦那のお目当て、海外作品を多く扱うメーカーの半額セールを見にとある書店へ。
彼がDVDを物色してる間、海晴と私は店内を散策。(結局彼は巨匠小津安二郎の『晩春』を購入)
そこで見つけたレトロな玩具↑ 何と愛らしい事でせう!無類のレトロ好きとしてこれは買わないと…と逸る気持ちを落ち着かせる。待て待て、大体私が見かけが可愛いという理由のみで買ったおもちゃは子供/猫ともに喜ばないってのがオチ、しかも定価。
てな訳で久々に理性の勝ち。今度雨音を連れて反応を探ってみよう。
他にもレコードプレーヤーなんかがありました。しかし今見返してもやっぱり可愛いなぁ。

そういえば昔、何かの付録にセロハンを厚くしたようなレコードが付いてた。懐かしい。応募者全員プレゼントとかも躍起になってたあの頃。

ちなみに『りぼん』派でした。
