Remember this??? This is my charm necklace from about 25 years ago. I was very proud of this necklace and thought I was so cool when I wore it :) Luckily, my mom saves everything, so now O loves the necklace, too (and I'm sure Ema will love it in about 3 years!). She especially loves the pretend lipstick, and she insists that the record is a frisbee. I guess I need to show her a record since it obviously a foreign concept for her!
OMG! I wish I still had mine. I loved that thing!
ReplyDeleteI still have mine too and LOVE it. I spent a few HOURS looking for it in all the attic boxes a while back. I use to save my allowance to buy the charms. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteOh.my.God!!!!! I had one of these when I was 8!! Oh you gotta love the 80's! I wish wish wish I still had mine.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I wonder whatever happened to mine! Knowing my daughter, I'm sure she'd LOVE something like that - no wonder they were such hits...
ReplyDeleteI also loved mine. EVERYONE had them- with so many charms! The mroe charms the cooler you were!
ReplyDeleteI have thought about it several times and wished I still had it.
Seriously, when I was a little girl, this was my most valuable treasure. How neat to share it with your daughters!
ReplyDeleteI had one of those! I wonder what I did with mine?
ReplyDeleteLOL. My in-laws have a VCR still and when the kids are watching a movie and we have to fast forward through the ads in the beginning, they are completely clueless and start yelling to "Just play the movie!"
ReplyDeleteKids these days....What are we gonna do with them.
Oh my gosh! I had forgotten all about those. too funny!
ReplyDeleteI had one of those, too! I think I had the baby bottle charm, and I know I had at least one of those records. I think mine is long gone, though, but what a great find for O to play with!
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about mine!! My mom saves a ton of our old toys and I love that I have them to share with my girls! To bad the charm necklace didn't make it, that would have been fun :0)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Brought back tons of memories for me. In fact when I saw it on your blog I thought they were back again.
ReplyDeleteWas definitely a prized possesion for me too. I loved mine so much. A kid at school stole mine from me...Ah the memories..
ReplyDeleteOh how I loved mine! I hope my mom can find it, if it still exists! What fun! And I recently tried to explain what a record was to my 3 yr old daughter, too. funny!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was the bottle. I’m surprised these haven’t come back . . . everything else has!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved mine! I wish I knew where it was was. How neat that you can share this with your daughters.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I had several of those, and one with larger links that you wore as a belt. LOL I actually have thought about it off and on over the years. Maybe I wish that I still had that.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they make those anymore? Strawberry Shortcake and Lite Brite came back -- why not these plastic charms? ;)
total flashback!
ReplyDeleteI have mine and my brother's in a box at my mom's house! I loved those things! I've thought of passing them down to Little Bear, but after keeping it for 30 years, I'm not ready for it to get lost or broken within five minutes! :( I wish they'd make new ones for kids these days!
ReplyDeleteMy word! I think about my necklace and all its charms all the time....how neat that yours is still around!
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of cleaning out the kids' not-played-with toys. Thanks for the reminder to hold back those things that are dearest to us! :) It's worth the space taken up in the attic -- Memories will keep!
Oh the memories! I am sad now thinking that I don't have mine. My mom used to save everything and as I have gotten older it drives me crazy to have clutter, so over the years I have gotten rid of things. Now that I have a daughter I feel like I can't part with any of her things. How amazing that you still have your charm necklace! You lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteAhh, memories.
ReplyDeleteWow! I totally had one of those too. Thanks for the memory re cap!
ReplyDelete:)Lisa
I had the pretend lipstick charm too! My fav was a roller skate
ReplyDeleteI remember! I've been trying to describe those charm necklaces to my daughter for years! I'm so excited to be able to show them. I remember the baby bottle was one of the most coveted items at my school.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had mine too! Those were so much fun. Maybe we should bring them back like they did Strawberry Shortcake and all the other fun things from our childhood!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do remember those! I think all my old toys are long gone, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing! :-) Why is it that the shape of the little clips is what I really remember the most? I remember I had some grapes...
