I have been saving this for a farmgirl giveaway, for some time. (Box label only.) I could hardly wait to share this with someone else. You don't have to literly be a farmgirl, just a farmgirl at heart. I believe, everyone qualifies! :)
All you have to do to enter is comment below. I won't make this complicated, no comment here 3 times and there 2 times. Just this once and I will pick a winner on December 7th.
Please tell me your favorite toy when you were a child. I will start it off. When I was little,(don't all stories start off like that?) I had a chimpanzee, well, not a real one, of course! lol His name was Jocko and I truly loved him. He had stiff wires in his arms so he could hang (from a tree, of course). Now it's your turn. Have fun down memory lane.
Ahhh, mine was a set of nesting dolls from Russia...dressed in authentic Russian peasant clothing (well, painted on, LOL) I wasn't really supposed to actually play with them....but...well, I was kind of a "difficult" child....things haven't changed much! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, you made me laugh, no I don't think things have changed! :D
ReplyDeleteMy most cherished childhood toy was a pompom spider on a string my grandma made me. We had dicovered a big spider in the bathtub, and my grandma too, was born and raised a farmgirl, so she wasn't afraid and neither was I, we brought him outside and that night while I was sleeping, she made me my spider toy. I wore it down to a frazzle, but I'll never forget it, lol. Teresa/MJF
ReplyDeletebeing a Military Brat & moving every 2 years, we didn't keep much...but one of my favorite toys-dolls was my Chatty Cathy....wish I still had her.
ReplyDeleteI had two favorite things to play with when I was young. My blankie and my brother. I took my blankie everywhere until I was... well, older than I should have been. (And when i say everywhere, I mean everywhere.) I still had to have it to sleep with when I was 18 and leaving for college. Sad (and scary), I know. My brother is about 18 months younger than me and we would play lots of games together. He would be my student, or my baby, or my detective partner, or my husband, or my driver. Basically whatever part I wanted him to play, he did. It was great! And we're still really close. Its fun.
ReplyDeleteI adored (and still have) my dolls, all of them! My alltime fave was a doll I received when I was a baby, later I chewed on her fingers and toes lol. Her name was Bernadette, my 3rd name. I still have that doll, it has lovely brown curly hair ♥
ReplyDeleteOn a sidenote, Katmom I watched Oprah yesterday. She had the 60's show and she told the audience she always wanted to have a Chatty Cathy doll, but never received one because they were too expensive. And Karen I once had a monkey too, got it from my brother! He (the monkey, not brother duh) could hang from the ceiling and had a little note in his arms with I LOVE YOU...aaawwwwww ♥♥
My favorite toy was a doll made in Poland. She had long yellow braids like me - except I loved and played with her so much that one of her braids is now missing !! I also loved my Tammy & Ted dolls.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

My favorite toy when I was a child was roller skates! Oh the places you could go. I got them for Christmas or my birthday, I can't really remember which, but they were the old quad skates with the pink wheels and the matching pink laces. :D
ReplyDeleteI can't roller skate to save my life now, but boy did I think I was hot stuff with them then.
hugs,

What a sweet giveaway! Thanks so much. Please add my name to the pot!!!
ReplyDeleteI had a stuffed poodle. She was orange. I always slept with her. She was flat on one side because that's the way she slept, right on my arm all night. I slept with that dog til I got married at 20. She had to go in the closet then, poor thing. Her head was almost off and she was so flat by then. But I loved that dog. She went all over the country with me since I was 7 when I got her. I wish I still had her. She was like the Velviteen Rabbit, all loved to pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away!

Karen sent me by here to look at something....
ReplyDeleteI loved Barbie dolls, dressing them up and making them clothes...
...my favorite toy once was a Mrs Beasley doll. I have no idea what had happened to her. My Mom and I had moved around a lot in my youth and things get lost. (Shrugs)
ReplyDeleteI remember playing with Mrs. Beasley and combing her her golden hair for hours. I brought her with me everywhere I went.
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI had a little rag doll... I am not sure where I got it, but as memory served I had it forever..When my mom died (I was eight) and somewhere in the shuffle she (the doll) was lost. I have never replaced her, although I can still picture her in my mind. After that, it was a resin black and white horse that I carried around...I still have that silly horse...
I had Breyers horses, most girls had barbies but they were too girly for me! I did all the same things though, I played house with them. so silly.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for hostinga give away!! My favorite? I had a a cardboard kitchen set...the stove, refrigerator and cupboards! Loved it!
ReplyDeletePLease enter me in your giviway. My favorite toy as a child is a doll I still have that used to walk. Its funny what we save in our lives. Take care and Thanks,

Thank you so much for doing this giveaway!! My favorite toy when I was little was my blanket, and a little pink stuffed rabbit that I took everywhere with me. It was my best friend before my little sister was born, then I gave it to her. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs!!
Karen,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for entering me in your sweet giveaway :) My favorite toy was a Fisher Price Pull Toy...a Chicken :) This was back in the 60's and I took that chicken everywhere :) Thanks for the memories :)
Have a great evening!

I just want to remind you, as a friend of course... if you pick me you save on shipping,lol. Just kidding!! My favorite toy when I Ws little was my Gem Barbie doll.... She was trully outragous...trully trully
ReplyDeleteMy favorite plaything (not exactly a toy) was the pony I had as a little girl. When I wasn't riding him, I combed and braided his hair and talked to him just as you would a friend. Thanks for prompting a good memory.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, my favorite toy way back when was my Baby Secret doll. I just loved to pull the string and hear her whisper in my ear! She was made to look like she was wearing these little red feetie pajamas, as we call them.
ReplyDeleteWell...when I was little my favorite toy was this old whined-up clock. You see, I would not go to bed by myself. I suppose my parents thought that if it could work on a puppy it would work on me. I guess it did the job because as long as I had my old clock I could sleep by myself.
