On my list of favorite things in the world, vintage Fisher Price Little People rank high. I played with these when I was growing up, bought several sets for Beeper (okay, for me, really) over the years as gifts, and could easily name my favorite sets today (the A-Frame, the pop-up camper, Sesame Street, and the hospital, if you must know). So, of course, when I first saw these prints by Happy Town, USA, it was all immediate adoration. I love the bright acid-colored photography, and how the messages are either sweetly positive, or discordantly modern--but also just plain funny.
They offer 4x5, 5x7, or 8x10 sizes of all of the prints. They also offer prints customized with your own message, or a name. Sweet. You can find all the designs above, and many more, here.

ohmygoodness...These would be perfect in my son's room. Thanks for the tip!!
Love it! These were my favorites when I was in kindergarten, I may just have to invest in some prints for nostalgia.
Love these! One of my customers asked me a couple of months ago why the people in my designs rarely have arms. I think I'm still influenced by those early Little People I loved so much!
Those are so great -- now I want to go up to the attic and get my Fisher Price houseboat!
I love the houseboat!
I remember these as well - I think my brother had the yellow school bus.
I want to marry the creator of these prints!
I had the pop-up camper! And a grocery store, I believe
Awesome post! Thanks for sharring the happy!
Oh man! These are just too much. Thanks for sharing.
I am still in love with Fisher Price people too. I love this shirt from Threadless, and I have been petitioning for about five years for them to reprint it. I keep telling them that a certain generation of folks would really love it: http://www.threadless.com/product/299/The_Family_Portrait_Had_To_Be_Rescheduled
That did something weird to my link, but if you google "Threadless" and "The Family Portrait Had to be Rescheduled" it will come up. So funny!
