Tea Time and Board Games!!

It's a kid's world out there apparently. I have uncovered great vintage board games and childrens tea sets that any child would get a kick out of playing with!. The amazing thing about the tea sets is that they were made (in England) specifically FOR children to play with! They are all transferware paterrns in great colors like green and purple! Manufactured in the late 1800's.

The Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys vintage 1957 board games are just a hoot!! The graphics and colors are so '50's ish and still very bright! Both sets are complete with, what I believe, are the original pieces.

Don't know if y'all saw my plug for these goodies on FaceBook but for the month of August shipping is free on any purchased item!! Here is the link to Grubby Thicket Antiques on FaceBook: www.facebook.com/grubbythicket Check it out!!
