Are you familiar with Galt Toys?<\/a><\/p>\n

I admit I wasn’t, although the British company has been around for more than 175 years\u00e2\u20ac\u201dstarted by James Galt, an educational stockist in Manchester in 1836.\u00c2\u00a0 It is still a company dedicated to creating beautiful and educational toys\u00c2\u00a0 with a healthy dash of fun, but something magical happened in the late sixties\/early seventies.\u00c2\u00a0 The Galt toy-makers took the colorful design trends \u00c2\u00a0of that time\u00c2\u00a0and infused that excitement into their toys.<\/p>\n

Speaking of that idea, the brilliant Ms. Jane Foster<\/a> came up with this wonderful idea to use some vintage Galt cards for a striking accent and hook accent in her lovely home.<\/a><\/p>\n
