I watched this video holding my Bowser Wowser in my lap. Your story is so cool and inspiring. Hearing you talk about these toys and their creator is so interesting! And I think you've been so incredibly brave to follow your dream and make it real! Best of wishes from Italy! I wish I had seen this video sooner, since I was in California only two weeks ago. I wold have loved to have the chance to meet you and see your amazing museum. Well, maybe next time?
thank you for watching!
Omg - I received the elephant toy chest for Christmas just now. I'd been obsessed with it for months but couldn't justify buying it for myself. I never knew the history and I really appreciate how thorough you are about this collection and Edwards body of work.
Congratulations on your acquisition and thank you for watching!
love love love this 💗
We love love love her! Thank you for watching!
THIS WOMAN IS LIVING MY DREAMS!IM SO PROUD BUT JEALOUS OF HER 😭
Cool! Thank you for watching!
I really enjoyed this!!! So cool and interesting. His work is very unique and dream like, and ofc very nostalgic of everything from the 50s to even 90s
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
This is amazing !
Thank you!
I would love to visit that museum!!! 😍
It’s a wonderful place!
"do not do this" LOL. Loving this video.
Lol! Thanks for watching!
Amazing collection!🙌🙌🙌
Yes it is! Thank you for watching.
Oh my!!! This video is wonderful & you know so much about these toys & their wonderful creator. Can’t thank you enough for sharing all this & keeping his collection safe & for future generations. If I ever travel to CA, I would love to see your collection! Maybe I’m fan number 13.😊
Thank you for watching
Wow amazing story and collection
Yes!
omg I love this so much! First of all, your store is perfect - the colours, the way it is set up, even the hardware on the cabinets. And I LOVE all the toys! I think they are fabulous and special too. And actually, you are as well! I really respect what you have done and I think it is so cool that you found the family and they had all that stuff. That must have blown your mind to find out they had a barn full of it!!! I think they must have been thrilled to find someone who genuinely loved and admired their father and his work so much - it was definitely a win-win, because you will keep him alive forever. It is almost like they were just waiting for you to show up and didn't know it! Love this story so much and I am going to have to get something from your store!!
Thank you for watching!
This is such a great part of toy history. Great video, great story
Thank you!
Great job Kate 💛 Ive heard you tell your story lots of times, but I really enjoyed this in-depth version!
Thank you for watching!
Damnit...now I need to buy one
You and me both! I can't wait to see more of her creations as well!
This is really interesting, but I'm left with so many questions. Who exactly did you meet with, or are you not at liberty to say? I'm just really interested in whether or not the sale was in line with his wishes. Like, did they have any idea what your intentions for the collection was? Do you continue to share those intentions with them?
What you're doing is amazing, by the way. I can't wait to read your eventual book!
Thank you for watching. Send her a message on Instagram!
Thats epic!
