OK you are not so old. I used to have a ton of the beads in a box and would play with them nonstop. Made them for me and my dolls, Charming Chatty was my favorite. Glad she found you a place to get some. And I think you should. LOL. Let us know. With Halloween coming up I must add that I loved buying the "red lips" and the orange harmonica in wax and then eating them. The taste was so good to me. Chewed it up and spit it out. Strange things we remember. They still have them too. I look at them and am tempted at times. Now I am definitely going to buy one this year and just enjoy. HUGS
