While my hubby was getting the Christmas boxes down out of the attic the other day, he brought down a box that was mislabeled. I guess I had put some of my stuff from childhood into a bin that had "Xmas" marked on the side. So, it was a fun surprise for me and my kids.
Several years ago, when I was at home, my mom wanted me to go through all of my stuff. She was ready for it to be out of her house!!!
(Hi Mom! *waving*)
You can't blame her! I was probably in my thirties by that time. And married. And living 1100 miles away from home.
So, we put the things that I wanted to keep in two boxes. I think she shipped them up. And then they got put in boxes and put into the attic. And apparently, one group of them went into that aforementioned "Xmas bin".
When I was walking through the garage a couple days ago, I saw boxes that I remembered from my childhood. They were the blue boxes of Madame Alexander dolls. I only ever had two dolls from her line. I had the Scarlett O'Hara doll and the "France" doll.
But, also in the box and what I was asking if you remember were these little things!
I can remember when I was little, I would save all of my money and go to the toy store to buy these. I have no idea what my fascination was with them. Maybe they reminded me of Holly Hobbie, who was my big toy that I loved when I was younger.

I was looking on ebay for the diecast toys and there are all kinds of Durham Diecast toys that I never got! Check out the sewing machine and spinning wheel. Maybe I didn't know at that time that I was going to be a fashion major and that a diecast sewing machine would have been cool to have!
I also saved this little ladybug radio. We loved these things when we were kids. I need to get a new 9 volt battery to see if it still works!!
Which toys from childhood did you save?
