I am feeling the urge to buy an old retro phone. Maybe it's the modern-retro side coming out in me. How fabulous are some of these?? Most of them work!

eBay have lots so if you would like to add something funky to your decor - check them out!

I had a number 2 once, they are very fun. I love the third from the bottom.

Hi Katrina,
My sister and I had two phones when we were kids to play around on, mine was just like the black one in the 8th photo. My Dad will never let me forget how I unscrewed it and pull it all apart, (I just wanted to see how it worked). We were never able to put it back together properly. It looks my middle son has the same gene he pulled apart one of Pauls old CB radios just to see how it worked.
Hope you have a great week.
Cheers Linda

Boy do some of those phones bring back memeories! My favorite was always the pink princess phone. My bestfriend had one and I always wanted it!!

They look fabulous.
Oh dear I feel oh so old as I remember my parents having the red phone (3rd bottom)in the robertopiecollection.

I remember we had the black phone and our number was xf 5833258 (something like that) instead of all numbers...I don't think I'm wanting one again!!...hee hee. Glad you were interested in my nails, sorry I don't have the house keeper, have you ever had the nails attached? bit creepy I think, not sure if I like them.
I must say I do love the retro look...in the right setting of course. thanks for the memories

Hi Katrina, havent popped over for a visit for a while and have enjoyed catching up! I love old phones, I have one like the second photo in the front room for when the power goes off and the cordless doesnt work (trees take donw the power lines up here a bit) and I have a very old black pyramid phone that I need to get working again. Love 'em!

I don't know, they look cute as a button, but I sure enjoy my caller ID!! I don't think I could go back. But then again, that pink and white one....

I would love a pink, retro phone!
The camera I got is the one in this review; http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/07/05/ricoh-caplio-r4-reviews/
It has lots of good features, I just don't find it very user friendly. Peta x
