oh, barbs
at last!! someone who remembers as far back as i do LOL! :lol: :lol:
i remember everything everyone mentioned, but i remember back further, too. i lived in new york city, so some of my toys were different, but a lot were exactly the same. do you remember long strings and wooden beads the size of wooden thread spools? some of them were thread spools. did you have oilcloth animals that you sewed around the edges, like cats and cows? they were stuffed but were still flat. did you play cat's cradle?
once my father came home, i always had crayons and scrap paper and scissors because he was a stationer. i swapped scrap paper for fabric scraps with a girl whose dad worked in a dressmaking factory.
we never had money, but we had such fun.
:lol:
