fairy winkles!  every easter morning after church my sister and i would come home to hunt for our easter baskets.  neither of us were that crazy about chocolate and candy so my mom always got us more creative gifts.  my favorite year was the year i got fairy winkles!  the set i got came in a swan and i played for hours and hours.  i still come across one of the tiny little creatures every once in a while when i sort through my things and it always puts a smile on my face.  i love make believe :)

back in the day #1

i came up with a new blog post series. enjoy!

every once in a while i get a random memory of a toy i had when i was young.  some didn't last long, but i had fun with every single one.  toys in the late 80's-early 90's were the best...

SMOOSHEES!!



smooshees were little animals and people who had disproportionately large arms and legs and were made out of super soft fabric.  they came with tiny little houses into which they were stuffed.  this was the toy i brought camping as i could play with it in the dirt and it could be easily washed.  i remember having so much fun with my little mouse with cheese and puppy with his doghouse, i wish i knew where they ended up.
if you are looking for a little nostalgia, you can buy them here or here.
