I had forgot all about the paper dresses. We wore them in one girlfriends wedding. Such fun.

yeah I remember paper dresses and the cinnamon square suckers. remember stockings with the seam down the back and a garter belt to hold them up before panty hose. and a new hat for easter sunday church. cottage cheese and jelly coming in fancy glasses that mom would keep for drinking glasses. how about bottles of milk with cardboard bottle caps to play games with and hop along casidy.Mary

I used to play with them at my grandmother's house in the early 60's. Absolutely loved them!

We got our glasses out of the soap boxes and we used a lot of it. Mom still has the glasses and they are in perfect condition.

Stanley parties is where she got our living room lamps. Still has one of them.

We would go roller skating at the school gym all day
Sat. they fit over your shoes and you tightened them with a key.

And when you had gym class you had uniforms to wear and absolutely had to take a shower. lol few drops of water on your face and shoulders and you was done.

Anyone remember green stamps? Use to save them and paste them in a book and get different gifts out of a catalog........Michele

yes, I remember green stamps - A&P had the orange plaid stamps, but we didn't shop there much. My grandmother bought laundry soap that came with a dish towel inside - it was compressed and stuffed in a small box.
