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.

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.

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