The Mellow Yellow photo I'm posting this week is another find from the Antiques Market that I visited last week. It is a Vintage Poosh-M-Up Big 5 Table Top Pinball Game. According to an online listing I found, where one just like this is for sale, this is a table top pinball arcade game made by Northwest Products from 1933. The 5 games include: Put-In-Take, Baseball, Pennants, Bagatelle, and Twenty One. Looks like fun, don't you think?

This is my older son with both a hot dog phone and a hamburger phone. Here he is with a Skittles phone and posing with a mannequin nearby who didn't object to having her picture taken. You know I like to leave you with a song and dance, so here's a catchy number by Raffi to get you swinging and swaying. (Warning: you will be singing this song the rest of the day so listen at your own risk.)

We were there for a very short time and saw only a small portion of what was on display. I would like to go back there sometime when I can spend more time looking at the wares. Here is a glimpse of a few things that I saw. This Oriental fellow standing amongst some fake flowers and some dishes made me smile. As a kid, I had a Mickey Mouse marionette puppet that I loved to play with, so I liked seeing these marionette puppets hanging from a pegboard. One of the things I love about this type of marketplace is the randomness and silliness of what you will find and how things are arranged on the shelf. For example, I loved seeing this frog wearing a slinky red evening gown. First of all, the incongruity of it amused me. It is not often that you see a frog in an evening gown---especially a RED one! This frog seems qu...
