Dear Friends and Customers,
     We finally got a digital camera, and here are the first results.  We had some great weather last week, so I was able to spend lots of time outdoors and call it work, preparing these images just for you.
     A wet summer this year provided us with a healthy, vigorous forest with the best color in many years. Trees reaching peak color were able to hold their leaves long enough for all their neighbors to catch up, creating great masses of color. 
We invite you to enjoy 9 pages with 23 images at

2.  Free UPS Ground shipping on all orders over $150
     This worked out well during September, so we are extending it at least through the Holiday season.  Free shipping is available only for UPS ground shipments  to the 48 continental United States.  Make sure to follow directions in the shopping cart.               Top of this page
3.  The search for affordable toys, Made in USA
         at www.turnertoys.com/birthday_party_gifts_toys.htm
     Throughout the 1900's,  small American toy manufacturers established their reputations for innovation and wholesome quality.  
We offer Uncle Goose Alphabet Blocks (1980's, Grand Rapids, MI),  Balsa airplanes by Guillows (1920's Wakefield, MA), & Play Kitchens by Little Colorado (Denver, CO).
     Back in 1910, there was Lincoln Logs®, which is now made in China for Knex, which is owned by Hasbro.  In 1930 Roy Dennison founded Roytoy. Roytoy Log Cabin sets are still made in East Machia, Maine, by the Dennison Family, on the original equipment.  The logs are solider and more precise, and they are square so the structures fit better and stay together! More important, unlike the other brands, they are 100% wood. 
Roytoy Original
Log Camp Set:
53 pcs - $13.95
We are offering 2 sets: only $13.95 for 53 pieces, and $27.95 for 140 pcs in classic cylinder package.   
     Slinky®, a true American classic, was first marketed in 1946, and is still made in Pennsylvania with the original equipment. Best of all, you can get the original Slinky® in a replica of the original package for only $5.75.  Slinky® should be a part of everyone's childhood.  
Amazing Slinky walks down stairs!
