What items from your childhood make your heart smile with fond memories?
Q&A | November 14th, 2008 No comments
Ahhh, the chatckas and trends that bring you right back to way back then…today’s question comes from our Snickerdoodles writer, Kerry MacLeod.

Carrie says: My sewing machine, at which I spent hours making my clothes. My first Adidas track suit (felt so cool). The Elton John album from Jude and Sandy.

Danielle says: The full collection of The Little House on the Prairie books, my Andy Gibb battery-operated microphone, and unicorn stickers. And I can’t forget about Donny & Marie (’cause I’m a little bit rock ‘n roll).

Kerry says: I grew up in the 70s and I will delight forever in whimsical things like Sesame Street, Richard Scarey books, Weeble Wobbles and Holly Hobbie… Pepsi Cola shoes, Dr.Scholls clogs and Hush Puppies! I still get a little excited when I find Love’s Baby Soft or Kissing Potion lipgloss (remember the glass roll ons?). As for home décor…just yesterday I was perusing the Anthropologie site and was completely tempted by their new Seventies Collection! But really, the last thing I need is a macrame owl.
My greatest childhood treasure is a little porcelain deer figurine that sat on my Babcia’s bric a brac shelving when I was a little girl. I spent hours admiring her chatckas and I feel as if she’s still with me when I see that little sculpture on my dresser. These things make me happy, they stir up my memories, they bring out the little girl in me…I like that.
