...a time before internet, cell phones & high tech game consoles? well i happened on a box that provided a refreshing blast from the past & just had to share some of my favorite childhood treasures with you today!
CABBAGE PATCH KIDS caused probably one of the first newsworthy mentions of crowd storming commotion! i treasured my adopted "kid" for years...heck...i still think she's pretty great!
and who wouldn't love a doll with the name "brenda dorcas" as shown in her birth certificate?! i also adopted her a pet "koosa"...a sorta cat doll named sparkey. now that's marketing brilliance!
back in the day when i knew exactly how to work my camera - you'd simply point & click. LE CLIC that is! way before memory sticks we used disc film to capture our moments! mine was, of course, pink...a color i never tire of!
i believe my collecting days were well in place as a child as i had many collections. STICKERS topped the list at that time with scratch & sniff {below} providing some of my favorites...
and to end my trip down memory lane...these were popular as i approached being a teenager. oh the coolness of having a SWATCH WATCH! i was lucky enough to not only have one but eventually two {shown below}. a quick search on google informed me that my small ladies version called "blue cassata" was part of the fall/winter collection circa 1987. i didn't see the other one to date it but is was a larger guy's variety that i saved my allowance for to purchase a few years after the first one.
now if you see a gal running around in jelly shoes...hair in a big white scrunchie..swatch watch on her wrist and toting a le clic...it isn't molly ringwald from pretty in pink or an episode of "what not to wear" - it's just me reliving my youth! sure am glad i saved everything...and still do to this day! oh what fun stories it allows me to share!
happy day...glad you joined me!
