Hey friends who among you remember how to play marbles and how many marbles you've got? We were in this store last Saturday, and by the looked from a far I thought it was candies. But when I was close enough, I noticed it was all marbles in different colors and sizes! I don't know if kids now a days still play marbles but in my time boys and girls played a lot! Enjoy the pictures!

Love your marbles pictures. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Brings back memories! We used to treasure our marbles...we'd look at them one by one, long for the big "boulder" marbles and trade them for others. Cool Yellow and Blue post!
I think I have lost my marbles!!~ So cool, I have never seen marbles displayed like this!
My 8 years old enjoy playing marbles back when we were still in the Philippines and I'm sure he will enjoy visiting that place. :)

Oh, they're beautiful! I always like seeing everyday things from a new perspective. Great shots!
Beautiful display of the marbles. That would have been fascinating to see them up close and look at all the pretty colors and designs. I loved playing and collecting marbles as a kid. Loved the big "boulders!"
What a fun store. Happy Blue Monday.
Love the marbles! I dare anyone to look at those photos and not smile.

Interesting and beautiful!f
Yesterday was crazy. So crazy, that I'm pretty sure that at one point, I may have lost my marbles-- perhaps just misplaced them? In the meantime, mind if I borrow a few of yours? LOL! Happy Mellow Yellow!
What a fun find!
We never had a lot of them growing up but I do remember my Grandma and Grandpa buying us marbles. I have three or four of those.
I've never seen a place like this. I'd be like a kid in a candystore.
Great photos!
I had no idea there were things such has marble stores. I played marbles for "keepsies" as a child. Marbles were eventually banned from the playground.
Great variation of marbles. Takes me right back to the days of my childhood.
Gorgeous.
I don't remember playing marbles as a kid, but I do like collecting them now - because they make pretty light when the sun shines through them.
Oh my gosh....yes, I'll take one of each please.
Here is MY R T If you come visit...scroll down below my Heads or Tails entry to find my Ruby Tuesday. :o)
I remember the days of second grade, Slye School in East Hartford CT. Marbles were the game of 1963, and the winnings determined your status. I was far from a champ, but never lost my marbles completely...
Funny and creative thinking!
Wonderful! Blessings!
Wow, that's a lot and pretty too! it reminds me of my childhood days..hehehe. we used to play those.
Great shots.
What a wide variety of marbles! I remembered playing with marbles as a child, that time outdoor play is the norm. Nowadays kids are stuck in front of their electronic games!
LOVE the marbles. I do remember drawing a circle in the dirt and the marble game was on. These are so pretty.
Hugs, Jeanne
How cool is that? I don't think we have any stores like that around here.
i also thought they were candies :-)
I am sure a lot of kids love this shop, and adults too.
wow, that's a wide array of marbles.
Very nice!:-)
Planty of marbles:) It really brings memories!
Wow. You hit all three colour-memes in one full swoop! Bingo!
Love marbles.
Best wishes

I love that! Happy Ruby Tuesday
I used to have a collection of antique marbles that I bought at an estate auction (I was caught up in the excitement and really wanted to bid on something and that was the only thing I could afford LOL). I wonder whatever happened to them.
Your photography is stunning!
Blessings - Beth
