Vintage Toys and the fun we had!

MORE VINTAGE TOY FUN

Here is my third segment on the Vintage Toys that brought laughter and fun into our lives.

Do you remember these toys?

My little brother had a three wheeler similar to this..(different colors) Mine was neon green and pink. I seem to remember that front wheel breaking easily, because its plastic..hmm
My daughter now has a Sit 'n' Spin, They're much cooler now, lol. Hers has lights that flicker on the top and it plays different songs while she spins.
The Miss.Beasley doll was before my time, but she seems to be popular.. I understand she was on a TV show of some sort. (?) I may have to do more research on her, I'm interested to know why she is so beloved.

Do you have a personal story with a vintage toy that you'd like to share? Please email me at lillyshay@hotmail.com.

I also LOVED my Big Wheel! It was so much fun to go tooling around the block, low to the ground, plastic wheels making that cool sound along the pavement! My friends and I also used to turn them upside down, sit on them, and grab the pedals with our hands to spin the wheel -- we pretended the wheel was a washing machine (how we thought clothes could fit in there I don't know!), and we called it "Playing Laundromat". :) We sat there, chatted and literally spun our wheels. :)

I had a Chrissy doll that had a button on her back. You pushed it and her hair grew really long. Loved that doll till my brother cut her hair. Okay, that was the whole point of the freakin doll! BLOG

I have some fun memories of barbie and making houses and run ways out of my mom's cook books. I used to cute up barbies clothing and play "runway barbie"with Ken too. Ken was the stage director and barbie was the top model.

I used to love my Sony tape player/karaoke machine. I would drag it around singing songs and dance all over the house! I loved singing Seasame Street songs, Debbie Gibson, Squeeze and Billy

Joel. What a ham I was!

Miss Beasley and Timey Tell were a couple of my favorites. Miss Beasley and I had matching glasses. And I learned to tell time with the Timey Tell doll.

Ends Tonight

My sister and I have been talking about our own memories that we had with our (now) vintage toys. I really really miss my toys now! So, I wanted to show some of them off!
Next week I'll be hosting a feature including other people's memories with their favorite toys!
If you'd like to be involved please leave a comment with a way for me to reach you :)

This was my favorite Barbie, I named her Christina. She is "Island Fun Barbie" 198?. I no longer have her though and I regret ever leaving her behind.. So now I am in a desperate search to find her, a different 'her', of course. Because I can't get my original favorite back.. This is the only one I can find, but I'd like to buy just her, not Ken as well. Wish me luck!

VTG MATTEL LOVELY LADY LOCKS AND MAIDEN FAIR HAIR DOLLS

My sister owned Lady LovelyLocks.. She was a beautiful doll. My sis had the canopy bed and coloring books. I loved lying in her bed and staring at the fabric with all the beautiful illustrations of Lovely Locks and her chipmunk friends. I've looked for one on the Internet in hopes of giving my daughter the same experience but have had no luck..

Oh, the Pound Puppies and Pound Furries! There is only one Pound Furry in the photo, but he's a cute little one! How many of you had some of these to cuddle with? I believe these are back on the shelves, right?

1983 Care Bears

I know you know who these cuddly bears are! We had a few of these, including some of the cousins, like Braveheart the Lion, and the Raccoon.. My daughter loves them as well. I had her nursery all decked out with these cuties! Now she's into princesses for her room. (That's cute too)

Vintage My Little Pony

My Little Ponies, I adored these gals! I have 3 siblings and everyone of them would get involved with our pony games, good times! My daughter is now a huge fan of these little sweeties. She has her own collection, Modern styles, of course. They're more slender, I believe the ponies were all put on a diet!

I am really loving finding all these Vintage My Little Ponies.. I see so many that I had, and some I still do.. I won't post them all. But I may do a My Little Pony feature in the future. I'd love to have some of my readers contribute!

Who had a Popple? I had a pink one, but I believe we had one that was similar to this one as well. Your tuck them into a ball and toss them around, remember?

There are plenty more, but I'll save them for next week!
