I recently stopped at one of my favorite mission thrift stores and spotted a long box on the floor marked Toymaster cardboard electric fireplace.
Could it really be the same fireplace that I remember from childhood photos?
( Christmas 1970).
The $20 price was an absolute steal (especially after I see how much they go for on ebay).
Not knowing if all the pieces were there, I decided to take my chances and purchase it.
As you can see, it's pretty darn fantastic. I'm totally reliving my childhood with this faux fireplace.
My mom even gave me the felted sequin Santa that you see on the fireplace back in 1970.
Have yourself a very merry vintage Christmas! Happy December!
