My childhood plate

[Kirsten]

Randi, well, you could be right and the pigs could be worth something if the ear wasn't missing. I don't even know how old it is, maybe my grandma had it from her own parents, who knows, the design looks like it could have been made in the late 1800s...

I also have a dress or two from I was 3-4 years old.

Oh, can't you take a picture of it? Must be so cute! I don't have any of my childhood clothes left, but I still have my first pair of shoes, and I once made a picture of them:



They don't look very comfy, do they? (And they probably weren't! LOL)

Kirsten, I love your little shoes, and I think they look very comfy! Actually, they look a lot like some Clarks I bought in England in April, mine just doesn't go up so high. My girlfriend over there have the same design in boots. Couldn't find them on Clarks' site.

I'll see if the dresses are where I think they might be - one of these days.

I love seeing all the things from everyones childhood.
My dad kept the bears he had as a child his whole life. I still have them. As you can imagine, since they are close to fifty years old, they are a bit funny looking, but I can't even begin to think about throwing them out.


I still have my baby blanket. :] It has managed to maintain a certain smell that reminds me of when I was little... it might be my imagination, but I love it. It is laying on a little chair (which is part of a set, all of which we still have) that my grandmum got for my sister and I. It is around 20 years old, and to my surprise, is still holding up very well. I often use it as a step-stool, and it shows no signs of weakening.


I also have a ton of my dad's stuff I used to play with when I was little. He always had the neatest things.

I finally had time to take a photo of this! It was my mother's when she was a child and then mine (I am not sure if my siblings used it as well.) There was a mug that was broken.
