I wonder if she did play with it while I was at school?

Good question!
I was just thinking similar about our mom.

I gave up on toys for most part.


I do not dislike it. I just don't trust it'll lasts without breaking, or remain not misplaced or stolen.

.. I don't truly have any nostalgia toys that are either durable or for long term use.

Games, perhaps. Toys, not really.

I don't have deep memories about toys. At best, only the idea of sharing or giving but not much about playing or owning it.

My memories are more focused at the games than the toys itself.


The best toys I had... Is in my head and in my hands, and made things from it.
I still have most of it intact. :lol:

I don't play with toys; however, I have both price guides of Transformers figures and G.I.Joe figure as well; have always, had a fascination for such in general.

I still collect and mess with transformers from all generations almost. They're great fidget toys or stims in my experience.

I just found some of my wee ragdolls from the 1970s tonight, and I'm so excited I don't know if I'll be able to sleep!

How can I display these little things that are just about 5" tall, without it looking messy?

I love them sooo much. They're called The Honey Hill Bunch. Top right is my mini Holly Hobbie.

* I read that I can wash their hair in conditioner and make it look brand new again *

Cool find.
Interesting about the conditioner.
