A Magically Fun Time

vintage advertisement for magic wand and unicornThere is no mystery about how to have a MAGICALLY FUN TIME.

And you don’t even need a magic wand.  Just know you’re going to have fun, kick off your shoes, forget your troubles, laugh a lot, and HAVE FUN.  Really, no fooling.  We know, some things are easier said than done.  And maybe the whole, if you want to have fun – just have fun, bit is a little hippie-trippie, but trust us.  It works.  Have patience.  Take some relaxing breaths.  Look around and find the joy in life and do your best to block out the non-joy.

Remember: kick off your shoes, forget your troubles, laugh a lot, and HAVE FUN.

What?

You just need to purchase accessories?  Okay.  Find some enchanting toys in Happy Bungalow’s online toy shop.

Magic Unicorns Create Butterflies

“Where do butterflies come from?”  The Kids ask.

The Kids are curious little explorers, they love to learn.  Scientists would be a stretch – scientists only in the loosest stretch of enlightenment concept of the profession.  So they’re a bit fuzzy on technical process, more interested in spectacular results.

The creation of a butterfly is quite spectacular.  “The butterfly is born a caterpillar – a fuzzy little worm, except it has legs.”  I think.  “Pretty sure is has legs.  Either way, it sort of turns into this chrysalis”

“Crystals?  Real crystals?”

“Well, they’re real, but not crystals.”

“Awww!  No fair.”

“Chrysalis.”  I continue.  “It’s like shell it makes around itself.  A sleeping bag sort of.”

“Can we go camping tonight?”

“Uhm.  No.  Listen.  So it’s in this little sack.  And the whole bug turns into this clear goo.”

“Ewww!”

“No, it’s really cool.  The caterpillar dissolves and then reorganizes itself into a butterfly.”

“What’s reorganize?”

“What?  It’s like uhm.  To re sort.  Make something new.”

“So where do butterflies come from?”

“Haven’t you been listening to me?”  But I just get this blank look.  “Butterflies are born of magic unicorns.  The unicorns know a magic spell.”

“Real unicorns!”

“You betcha.”  Plenty of time for the truth later, I suppose.

 

Who knows though?  Perhaps you have a fairy ring in your back yard.  Stir up a little magic, track down a unicorn, poof!  Maybe you’ll create some butterflies.  Hmm?  Well, we can’t help you with the magic end of things, but we do have a spiffy wood unicorn toy you might be interested in.  (Click here to purchase)

Fairies and Unicorns.  All the girls here at the Bungalow love the fairies’ newest friend:  The Unicorn.  I hope you’ll love them too.

Magic Wands!

Just wrapped up a wholesale order for 125 magic wands.  Sounds like picture time.  I think I’ll have to do a follow up post showcasing the more than 125 pictures I took ( I did not realize the continuous shutter scaled down the size of each picture ).

Yes, We Are Happy In Our Bungalow

People ask me if I live in a happy bungalow.  95% of the time.  Here’s proof:

A mixing of the toy worlds!  Not only are Happy Bungalow toys mixing with those rascally store bought toys, but if you look closely you’ll see cars taking a snooze on some dollhouse beds.  So here are some castle prototype parts, dollhouse bookend furniture pieces, a wood fairy, along with some old Legos of mine, and loads of toy cars.

The castle is built from Castle Bookend prototypes that predate the official launch of Happy Bungalow.  I wasn’t able to quite work out the mechanics of the castle.  Maybe we’ll take another look at it some time.Happy-Bungalow-wood-toy-castle-bookend-prototype-570
