I bought a cute little vintage toy phone at the antique store for $6.00 this weekend.
From the photos it looks like a full size vintage phone, but it's only 5" long by 3" tall. Very petite for a toy phone, I think.
It almost looks like the phone I grew up with. Black with rotary dial.
Please tell me I wasn't the only person that used to get their fingers caught in the holes in the rotary dial. Maybe I just had pudgy fingers?
I'm shopping for a new cell phone today and the decisions are endless. Am I an iPhone person? Am I am Android person? Do I stay with Blackberry? Who has cooler apps? Which carrier has the better plan? Just buy the darn phone already!
Back in this phone's time you had one choice. Black. AT&T. Take it or leave it, lady!
Do you live and die by your cell phone or could you just as easily survive without it?
For my photo effects, I used Pioneer Woman's Action Set - Boost at 100% opacity, Kim Klassen's Pumpkin Grunge texture in Soft Light at 100% opacity and her Simplicity texture in Multiply at 40% opacity for all these photos.

Your toy phone is too cute! I remember playing with a plastic Princess phone but your black rotary dial is way cooler! As for a cell phone, I'm using my son's old flip phone. He's the one with the iPhone! Go figure. I've been considering upgrading but hate to pay for the data plan. Good luck on your decision. Oh and I'm having my first every Choose Joy Giveaway at Cottage and Creek. Please stop by to enter and join the fun 🙂

Love the phone Pam! The only reason I have a cell phone is for school contact, otherwise I could totally live with out it.

I love this phone. I am looking for the original one. Boy, are they pricey. I can remember listening in on the party line til mama caught me.
I can take or leave the cell phone. I don't use unless I am away from home. Even then it is turned off or has a dead battery. Go figure.
