It's Little. It's Lovely. It Lights!
Hello?
Yes, this is Andrea.
What? My voice sounds different? Well, I am talking on my swell new Princess Phone! It was a birthday gift from my friend Nicole.
You'd like one too? Well, just click here and get one of your very own! Talk to you soon.....
Apparently, I like Princess Phones more than I realized......I've been picking up these little ditties at flea markets for a quite a while now. They were promotional key chains that were given out in the early 1960's when every teenage girl had a Princess Phone. My mom had a pink one! Can you believe she didn't keep it??!!
Hello Andrea,
This is Rebecca. I was just calling to tell you that I really dig your new phone and geez how I LOVE those key-chains. I think I want to be a princess too. :) Take care and talk to you later. Bye.

The princess phone is adorable! And the keychains are so sweet! I think when my pretty in pink workspace is complete it may require a princess phone as a finishing touch.

How cute! I have a pink mary kay phone.
My friend was selling it at a yard sale when another friends little girl wanted it. she said if no one buys it she could have it. well here I walk up and spot it and had to have it! I know I was an ogre but that phone brought out the little girl in me and I had to have it!and since I was a paying customer I won out...lol...
(dont worry I made it up to the little girl)

Love the NEW pink princess phone. Maybe I will put one in my new craft space?? ;) OOHHH, and the itty, bitty keychains are too cute. Could we possibly be seeing those in the store? I can see one hanging off my address/phone number book.

Oooh! I have been wanting one of those! ADORABLE!!!

I have 3 of the promotional keychains. 2 aqua-ish blue and one pink. I found them @ the flea market and plan to list them in my store soon. I'm so psyched to come across this post. Enjoy your new phone. I've been collecting old black phones for sometime btw. There's a collector for everything!

I never had a princess phone, but always wanted one! I remember when they had real rotary dials that took forever to dial someone. I did have one of those little charms in aqua - not my fav color at the time, I wanted pink!
Thanks for the fun memories, Suzanna

Hello Andrea, this is Laura. I think I just found a perfect gift for my daughter. I myself will now be on the hunt for a keychain. Love it!
Can't wait to see what yummy confections you'll carry.
Ciao bella!

That's a cool telephone. I have that phone too. I picked mine up in California at Macy's. It's a beautiful telephone-the perfect shade of pink.
I love your shop. I'm going to go shopping over there now. I hope you've had a wonderful day : )
