This week we sit down with Kelly and Randy, two passionate vintage toy collectors who have built their lives and careers around the joy of finding, preserving and sharing nostalgic treasures. Randy collects vintage advertisements and ephemera, while Kelly is the owner of a vintage toy shop and lifelong collector herself.
We talk about how they each got started, what draws people to collecting, and how flea markets and swap meets have created a strong sense of community over the years. Kelly and Randy share stories from the hunt, unspoken flea market etiquette, and why vintage toys hold so much meaning beyond just nostalgia. This conversation is a reminder that collecting is about connection, memory and the stories objects carry with them.
Follow Randy at @tikiranch and Kelly at @kellystoystop to see their collections and latest finds.
