I loved my skateboard, I took it almost everywhere
33 and 45 records with little white recordplayer from Philips
I had a vieuwmaster but it didn't live long. My brother and I broke it in a fight. What a thrill when my Granddad a few year ago gave me a box with two Vieuwmasters and loads of pictures to vieuw and that pics are the first ever came out! It's a real treasure to me! :)

I wanted a Holly Hobbie doll but never get one.

Yes I remeber these! Didn't like it because my knuckles were al the time hurt!
I like this memorylane topic.

Speaking of sleds......I had a Flexible Flyer...and it is still with me.....in our garage.....LOL!

I had a strawberry shortcake portable record player... I'm sure I didn't get it new though, I was born in 1981. I also remember I had a red bike with a banana seat... oh it was such a cool bike!

You are so right! It never came up to buy a HollyHobbie Doll for myself. Thanks :)

Why dont you MAKE yourself one. When they were popular I made and sold them one year for Christmas. I used mohair yard for their hair, curled it around a pencil for the long hair. They had muslin underwear/pantaloons with lace and dresses with pinafores and little black Mary Janes made out of felt with tiny buttons. Ask if I kept one? I made them for my youngest daughter and I think she gave it away when she was a teen SIGH.

I had chatty Cathy.

I had Lincoln Logs, a Toni doll, loads and loads of paper dolls, dollhouses and furniture, larger doll furniture, skates, scooters, bike, jacks, coloring books, and those books you painted with water to make the picture.

And I have one more I don't see listed here.
