In San Francisco where I live, there is a local ice cream shop called the Toy Boat Cafe, where they also have a lot of kitschy, retro-type toys - in the windows and inside behind the counters. Haven't been there in ages, but this shop you featured totally reminds me of it.Serenahttp://craftycreativegal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-49184145193642742832013-11-07T07:25:25.364-05:002013-11-07T07:25:25.364-05:00It was!

And as fun as the mermaid show is, its never been updated, so the mermaids wear the tubes around their necks to get oxygen. Other shows disguise the tubes in the scenery---but not Weeki wachi mermaids. Its old school all the way. And its pretty cheap as far as attractions go. Its an hour drive for us, so if we are bored and don't have a lot of money to spend, we'll go there. I don't think my kids even like it, but we go anyhow.......RandomGoodsVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14317323644521053174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-60111655211532563042013-11-05T16:54:42.646-05:002013-11-05T16:54:42.646-05:00Wow, that is the most utterly amazing shop I'v...Wow, that is the most utterly amazing shop I've ever seen.

I SO miss my bright lime and laguna "green" (laguna green was more like teal) walls from my former apartment! I've been tempted to paint this one but I a) never want to relive the hell of attempting to paint them beige again and b) don't want to go through the hell of painting the tallest ceilings I've ever seen in a conventional apartment. Textured walls, too. Hell no! I'll live with bland beige. <br /><br />I should have looked at the toy prices, good idea to have vintage merchandise scattered bout the shop. If my vegan cafe ever comes to fruition you know that's how I'm gonna play. Stimulation and quirky bits everywhere :)<br /><br />I wanna visit Phoenix sometime too. I have a friend who moved to Arizona and need to visit him sometime once I raise some more funds for a trip.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445764937751339633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-21222839300353907522013-11-05T10:57:05.609-05:002013-11-05T10:57:05.609-05:00But I can't paint.....it won't stop rainin...But I can't paint.....it won't stop raining!!!

I think its the kitsch and super bright colors and the beautiful sun (that may the only similarities between Phoenix and Florida I can think of!...no WAIT old people!!) . I think I need to paint some stuff super happy in my house or I might start crying. And I want you to do something for me. Go back and just run in super quick and grab that vintage fisher price cash register.

I have much more to showcase soon, a nearby theatre has murals of "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" and a giant 3D moth on the walls.
