Well, we have passed Thanksgiving and now comes
Christmas! The shopping frenzy has
begun! The types of toys that are around
now are so very different from those of my childhood. Now, I am not going to give away my age, but,
I loved what was around for me and my children as well. There is something special about a toy that
makes you move, build, think, and imagine.
This year I have been on the hunt for just a plain old baby doll. I don’t want it to talk, eat, wear fashion
clothing, or do anything automated. I
keep a selection of “babies” for my special little people and I love the
imagination they have when playing with them.
I have been scolded from time to time by a two year old if they are
not properly dressed in their clothing and shoes! Those wonderful old cars, trucks and tractors
can move earth today just as good as they did back in the day. Take some time to visit your favorite antique
mall (which of course is South End Antique Mall) and discover what types of
nostalgia you can bring to your gifts this year!

| Remember those pull toys that used to drive you crazy! They are still around! |

| Blocks give freedom to build, spell, and design. |

| Cars, trucks and tractors! Wow! |
Don't pass up those old toys and children's furniture!

Old dolls are a chance for you to design clothing and replace shoes for a new life.
