Childhood things

My nieces have played with the Barbie dolls that my sisters and I played with as children. That was a treat when they visited grandma's house. And on my bookshelves I have the dollhouse furniture and dolls that were my mother's and that my sisters and I also played with! Just put them back out after a little break. My sisters and I divided the furniture so we could each have some.

(Does it count that I was married in the dress and veil that my mother and two of her friends wore?)

I was talking about this with my sister last night, and I was just thinking about making a thread like this one!

Unfortunately, when we moved out to a new house, when I was like 6 years old, many things which didn't really seem valuable -but which really meant a lot to me- were thrown away as rubbish. It seems that the most little things are the ones that make you happier when you're a child. It would mean so much to me to have some of them now.

I still have all my Barbies and my Polly Pockets (gosh, I was sooo obsessed with them

) And thank God I took good care of them , cause now most of them are in such great conditions.

I have dresses from when I was a toddler, and shoes,baby caps, headbands from when I was little also. Once I grew out of the dresses I put them on my doll named "dee-dee" which I still have, and she is so beat up (she even has a broken arm and a makeshift cast made out of white duck tape that people actually signed)

I have this big bird blanket that I LOVED when I was little, if I lost it i'd have a screaming fit. I got it a week before my 1st birthday from my mom's mom, she died shortly after before my first bday

I also have a bunch of barbies (some still in the package) I have the whole Wizard Of Oz barbies and 2000 Millinuim barbie.

I know my nieces played with a bunch of our toys that were mine and my sisters. And some of them may still be upstairs at my moms. She is trying to clean the upstairs so I will probably find a bunch of stuff. OH!! There is a closet up there that is PACKED full of stuff, like games and toys. That will be fun to go through.

Hmm I must think...i know one thing that i have saved since i was a kid was my old discman. I bought a discman when I was really young and it lasted me like 10 or 11 years! I loved it so much, that discman was my baby, and just about 2 or 3 years ago it finally gave out on me, but I still have it and keep out because I love it soo much...I know its kind of weird but oh well lol

I have a Toni doll that I had as a kid... anybody else old enough to remember those? I have the orginal dress she came with but the rubber band that held her arms and legs on had long since rotted and broke. But I still have her and all her parts!

We had dresses that our aunt had a neighbor make for us to wear to school... I WISH I had some of those, I thought they were so pretty and I was so proud when I wore them. Martha Spangler is the lady that made them and she made me and my sister 2 or 3 every school year. She died many years ago...
