Dos Visit Toby and Alex

My brother in law dropped me off on the snow-white street outside Toby and Alex house last January.
They greeted me on the porch and excused their new puppy Orabelle for jumping up on me.

I had met Toby at a vintage clothes store in downtown Lincoln Nebraska, as I was picking up a zebra brooch he commented on how much he loved animals and how his home was full of creatures in every size or shape: plastic or stuffed. dead or alive.

I did what anyone in their right mind would do: Asked if I could come and take some pictures.

And this is how it turned out. Please click the images for larger views.

Toby, Alex and Chucky

The house is full of eclectic collections of vintage finds.

Animal lover

American Logs

I love you more than zombies love brains

First floor

I can’t decide what is scarier: Pee Wee Herman in real life or as a doll

Toby and Alex are High School sweethearts and they collect dolls…

…they also make scrapbooks

Livingroom

Since I visited Toby has got himself a Black Widow, that Alexs father had found in his garage. A NOT-dead-one.

A porch swing and a puppy in an unmade bed

Friends and enemies

I wish I had a porch I could sit on like that

Toby and Alex often throw costume parties and play cards

This might be the sweetest couple Ive ever met.

Bathroom overlooking the garden

Leather shoes

Old Playboy

…and a not so old Madonna

A box full of happy times, found at a flea market

..and here is one of them up close. It looks like a party

Love this place. Thank you for letting me in.
