…when I saw the smiling 1970s era butcher, baker and candlestick maker happily wobbling back and forth in their washtub. A good garage sale became a great one when I passed by this gem. Some sort of Freudian unconscious memory was awakened upon seeing this fantastic toy. I’m certain that I played with this activity board when I was a baby. I had a sudden surge of delight when Harriet made the little rabbit click, click, click across the bottom of the board. I could hardly keep my hands from the satisfying feeling pressing the squishy red button to make the bell ring. It was $1. It came home with us.
