This photo was posted on Facebook recently, by someone selling this vintage toy barn. I can vividly remember the Christmas where this fabulous barn from the toystore F.A.O. Schwartz was under the tree. Oh, the hours of entertainment this provided! I don’t know how many kids these days lie on the floor and create riding lessons and horse shows, but this activity took up a lot of my time. Of course, that was before the advent of computer and video games. Now I’m wondering what happened to mine . . . I gave my Breyer horse collection away when I was in my teens (something I’ve since regretted), but I would never have parted with my fancy barn.
