Tammy and her family

Tammy lives with her parents and her little sister, Pepper, in this sweet little 1960's dream house by Ideal Toys.


This is Tammy in her original "meet" outfit.

Here's Tammy hanging out with her little sister Pepper. Pepper looks to be about 12 years old and Tammy maybe 16 or 17.
The Tammy house is a cardboard fold-out model, with an awesome pink early 60's kitchen, powder blue and pink bedroom for the girls, and a retro living room featuring plaid wallpaper, pale orange carpet (probably shag) and a fabulous blue brick fireplace.
Tammy's stylish mother models her pink kitchen...I am diggin' everything about this room.
Very mod living space. Tammy's dad likes to kick back and watch TV after a long day at the office.
This gentleman in the red jacket is actually Ted, Tammy's older brother. Tammy once had a boyfriend named Bud, but I do not currently have him in my collection (he's apparently the rarest doll in the Tammy family) and, since there is no available bedroom in the house for a brother to inhabit, I have recast him as Tammy's boyfriend anyway. He's attending college, but he visits occasionally.

The design and decor of the Tammy family dream house is very similar to the Littlechap family playsets... They were made right around the same time. I decided that the powder blue and pink bedroom was probably Pepper's room (due to the fact that there was only a single bed) and so I turned the Littlechap family room into an add-on and made it Tammy's bedroom. It seemed more fitting for a teenage girl anyway. As you can see, Ted is hanging out in Tammy's room on one of his weekend visits from university. Tammy's dad allows it, but he makes them leave the door open.

This room, another pink confection, is the master bedroom. It is actually the bedroom of the littlechap family, but it really works well with the Tammy house. Tammy's mom is obviously the driving force behind the pink decor in this home.
