I posted something last night and it isn't here. I must have forgotten to hit the button or something. That's strange. Anyway, Nancy, that's so funny about putting milk in your doll's bottle.It's a wonder she didn't get moldy. Isn't it amazing how we survived all those metal toys? I'm writing a newspaper piece about the old drugstores in our city. Do you all remember going to the corner drugstore and flirting with the soda jerk? 10 cents for a cherry coke? Frappes? The swivel stools? The phone booths? The pharmacist knowing his customers? Candy Cupboard chocolates? Louisa

Did drugstores have booths and jukeboxes or were those malt shops? The drugstores here, that I remember, just had the fountains. The jukeboxes and booths were in diners and the old malt shops or ice cream parlors. I remember an ice cream parlor on Cape Cod. Thinking about it now, I can almost smell the salty air and hear Patti Page singing Old Cape Cod. I do remember those hats the soda jerks wore, root beer floats, and twirling around on the stools.

Lousia ,
I remember the soda jerks with the hats and the 5 cent cokes and the chairs that would swirl around and around and the cherry cokes and the vanila cokes Jukeboxes also . I remember Winky Dink we would draw with crayons on the plastic on the the TV . Fun show on TV. Oh, I remember Patti Page singing old Cape Cod .
Did anyone have the Revlon Doll ? That is before they came out with Barbie . I still have my Revlon Doll today but her body is in two pieces now . Her hair is still lovely and still have her clothes and some my mothers friend made for her . I will think of more . I did very well playing jacks and still could play today if I find some around . Ha!

I have today my brothers glass marbles in a metal tobacco can . I wonder what they are worth ? Hum...

Did anyone else have a "Mama" doll? I have a picture of me when I was about three, holding two Mama dolls. I searched for years for one like one of those in the photo, and finally found one. You can see the picture of her here: http://www.suite101.com/mypage.cfm/thesacredcircle/21824It may take a while to load, as there are other pictures too. I also have a vinyl Kewpie, a Baby Giggles and many other dolls. I collect things from my past. I have marbles too, but they aren't worth much, just the good memories. I have a penny bubblegum machine, a Lionel train set, and many teddy bears. Two other good places to look for toys from our past are: http://www.tias.com/stores/tiasexchange/http://www.rubylane.com/Just go there and do a search for what you are looking for. Their prices are reasonable too. Thanks for the memories!

Oh my gosh what memories!
I took my son roller skating today to escape the heat and could not stop thinking of you all here at this site.
I admit I was a sight trying to get around those turns and avoiding the little kiddies on their training skates! I did begin to get the hang of it but not like I did 30+ years ago. I only fell once and that was enough!
My muscles are sore in my legs and my six year old whized past me so many times I was dizzy trying to keep an eye on him.
We made two laps together during the couples skate and then he ditched me for a girl from school that could skate better!
After 2 hours of the theme song from "SpongeBob Squarepants" and the limbo etc, I think the owner had pity on me and played Bob Seger "That old time Rock and Roll". I was skating then girls! The speed demon that I was, I was in my own little world of nostalgia and you all were right there with me. Hope I didn't embarass you much!
Just had to share.
Lynn

Write girl , Don't you just that doll My Revlon Doll is in two pieces and hope to get her fixed one day. My Revlon Doll had a fur coat or jacket with it and the pearl earrings and high heels . I have the Jenny Doll also and she is in good shape . I never did get a Barbie Doll .
I never had a teddy Bear , but my daughter bought me one years ago . I had purple stuffed bunny rabbit and not sure where he went , maybe the cat we had go him . Ha!
How many remember the old test pattern on the TV's when you would just set and wait for something to come on the TV like Howdy Doody show . Oh, I loved that show.

I'm not sure exactly how I started collecting them. People started buying them for me. My kids would get them for me as gifts. Then before I knew it, I was a teddy bear collector. I started buying collector bears and one day I counted them. Whew! I have a lot of bears. I haven't bought one in a long time. My collection has grown past its boundaries. I have no more room to put a bear!
Speaking of television. One of the shows I wouldn't miss was the Sonny & Cher show. For comedy, I loved to watch the Carol Burnett Show. [ July 14, 2005, 01:56 PM: Message edited by: Vicki M. Taylor ]

Reading these posts sure brought back some great memories from the fifties and sixties......Made me remember my Toni doll, loved giving her perms. Also my "walking" doll, which was quite the rage in the mid-50's. And all the board games I played with my mom, along with paper dolls, those metal doll houses you've mentioned. Yup....it was a great time to be a kid. I almost feel bad for kids today....they seem consumed with the high-tech "play?" stuff but guess I'm an old-fashioned girl at heart.

I DO remember those particular paperdolls. And you're right...TV was minimal. Although....I also remember my favorites all these years later....My Little Margie, Father Knows Best, I Remember Mama and of course, Howdy Doodty (sp?) I really wish I could get copies of those for my grandchildren. Today's TV for children leaves a lot to be desired...just my opinion.

Hey Louisa....oh NO....you never had a Toni doll? That just might qualify as a "deprived childhood" I think we all need to pitch in around the holidays and try and find this beloved doll for Louisa. Growing up without that doll (not to mention the stinky perm solution!) is like, well, like never having had the pleasure of twirling with a hoola-hoop. (FYI...I detested those silly things...lol)

Oh, Louisa, I had those home perms and my hair I have a lot of body and they would frizz and curl up so much . One day mother had given me a perm on the weekend and it frizzed when I went to school in jr high and the kids got a good laugh out of me. I don't have perms at all , but hair dye well another story .
Hula Hoop I still have my red one and in fact I am getting that thing out again it will keep your waist thin or become thin again. Either one. Good excersie for you [ August 03, 2005, 04:09 PM: Message edited by: Nancy50 ]

Sure..today I start fresh n' see that list!! I want: chocolate babies,malted milk balls,bit-o-honey & charms for lunch!!! This reminded me of when we would go to the Catskills every summer with my aunt & uncle & cousin. On the trip back we would stop at this general store & we were allowed 1 soda & 2 candy bars for the ride home. I would always pick Oh Henry bars! My cousin would get 2 candies that had itty pieces and lasted awhile!!! Going on vacations we would stop at the bakery before hitting the highway...and I'd always get a big chocolate chip cookie & a chocolate milk! Yummmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! And I was always amazed by the little cheeses w/ crackers that you had to put together!!!

Chatty, I have that catalog and love it . I have ordered from it lots of times . Deb , I still have my old green 45 record player and it still plays 45's if I could find some around here. I think I have mentioned that I still have my red hoola hoop in the storage room . I should get it out , but my husband and I are taking ballroom dancing next week for ten weeks and expect to lose ten pounds . I hope.

My memory is about a doll I had as a child...She was a "Tiny Tears" doll and I loved her so! Way back in those days there were not many places to stop whenever you took a trip. My grandparents lived a four-hour drive from our house. We lived in North Georgia and they lived in South Georgia. Well, we were a family with four kids at the time...two boys and two girls with me being the oldest! We would take the road trip down south to my grandparents about four times a year. It seemed to take forever! Well, when nature called, it called...and it usually called on one of the looooooong stretches that had no stops! On this particular trip, night had fallen and I had to go! So, daddy pulled over to the side of the road and "Tiny Tears" and I got out to potty...right on the side of the road! I rushed as fast as I could with my siblings all still sound asleep in the car. Daddy was not a patient man and he had said to "hurry"! So I rushed back to the car and jumped in and settled myself back down to sleep as daddy sped back onto the highway. A few minutes later and a few miles down the road I suddenly realized that I had left "Tiny Tears" lying on the side of the road! In my hurry, I had left her there all alone! I was heart broken! I cried out to daddy and he wanted to know if she had to go potty too! I knew my doll was lost to me forever! Daddy would never turn that car around just to get my doll! As I was counting my losses, I felt the car shifting and daddy did one of his famous "donuts" right in the middle of the road! The back-end of our car fish-tailed around as we headed back in the other direction! I was so happy! But...how would we ever find the same spot we had stopped at before? And would she still be there?? As these questions were spinning around in my head, I felt the car bumping as daddy pulled over and said "here we are, baby, get out and get your doll"! I jumped out of the car and ran to the front of the car where the headlights were shining....and there she was! She was waiting for me right where I left her! Well, this was a source of laughter for my family as we got to my grandparent's house and daddy told them we would have gotten there sooner except we had to go back and get my doll! Daddy teased me about letting my doll go potty until the day he died! It has been one of my favorite memories. I never knew what happened to "Tiny Tears" but she disappeared over the course of my childhood. A few years ago I was remembering this story and I really wanted my "Tiny Tears" doll....so I got on my favorite site, EBay, and found one!! I bid on her and got her and when she arrived she looked identical to my "Tiny Tears" baby that I let go potty with me. My daddy was my hero that night and he remained a hero to me for the rest of my life! I look forward to seeing him again one day in the sweet by and by! I'm sure we'll recount our "Tiny Tears" story one more time! Good Night, everybody! Rose

Good to know about the Betty's Attic site. I have a "Patty Playpal" doll, got it when I was around 3 or so, she had hair at one time but I cut it off with Mom's cuticle scissors, it was like mine when I got her.She was as tall as I was and we had matching plaid dresses. She walked when you held her hand! My best doll ever, other than my Thumbelina that cranked up in her back and rolled her head somewhat, as a newborn "would" do. Mom, before she passed, made sure I have that Patty Playpal doll. She scares me every time I go into our closet, as she is laying on one of the top shelves without clothes and her arms are laying beside her. A scary sight at that. As I have adult sons and no grands, someday I will get her repaired to save for nieces or grands, God willing. Good to be here and read some of your great posts, looking forward to chatting with ladies that know "from whence I came". God knows there aren't many that understand that. I miss my Mom.

Oh yeah, Dotsie, and ain't it grand!! I find the memories of the past are much easier than where the car keys are! Trying to cope and finding a lot of hope here! The trouble with cutting off Patty's hair, I thought at the time hers would grow back as mine did! The things you think of! A good grin and a nice warm feeling, so good to be here!

Well, My Betsy Wetsy stopped weting when I put milk in her bottle . I should have just used water . I think I have told this story and still have the doll today . She had the china head not rubber . She is so cute today. She is hiding in a closet in my spare room . I put perfume on her head to make her smell good . That poor doll what she went thru with me. I still have my old table and chairs . My daughter used the table and chairs when she was little. They were brown in color . Did anyone have a table and chair set ?

We had a desk from the Catholic school! The one piece type. We would play Catholic school! (I'm a public school child!!) I remember a doll...where you could pull it's hair out & then it'd twist back in again. I gave that one a trim!!! I think one of my favorite toys had to be my Barbie's palamino horse! You could comb it's tail & mane. I used to play with that for hours!!! We were a big Barbie & her friends house!! I remember going every Saturday to Kresgee's & I was given $2. I would buy 2 outfits every week for my Barbie's!! My mom would give me $1 & my friend's grandmother would give me $1. I had a huge case full of clothes...with little hangers for them. My niece got to my Barbie's....they ended up without any arms or legs!!! We found all our games when we were moving my mom. I have a box of stuff in our shed---a set of trains & some other things I didn't have time to go thru.

Dotsie, and Eagle, I remember hopscotch and ny friends would go up the road to the local shoe maker and get rubber heels that he would replace on mens shoes . Sometimes we would pay about 25 cents are get one free . Or get used mens heels . I love hopscotch and if I see one today I will jump on it and play and get a few laughs
Dotsie : I went into Kresgress's uptown . How about Ben Franklin's store uptown. Remember !We walked everwhere in to the movie house . [ September 21, 2005, 10:38 PM: Message edited by: Nancy50 ]

She'll like that name too.
When I played hopscotch, we just used different shaped stones. Or bean bags.
Eagle Heart Go to this site to purchase a hoppy taw - they still make them. The original company is still in Utah http://www.niftycool.com/hotawhoma.html
Bet you were a hopscotch champion too!

The Revlon doll! Gosh, I remember my aunt having her on her perfectly crisp bedspread! Does anyone remember the "Patty Playpal" doll? She was as big as me when I was six years old! She had long blonde hair, a red dress, white pinafore and black Mary-Jane shoes! What a hoot!

PattyAnn, My betsy wetsy is still as pretty as ever . Her lovely large blue eyes an her painted on brown hair . I got her about 1948-49 for christmas and still remember running for her Christmas Morning . How about that for memory . That was the only think I got that year . That was the best gift ever. I only had two dolls in my life . I had the Revlon Doll for which I still have today .and My brown table and chair I got for christams one year. My daughter played with that.

Mine were:
Gabby the doll (mom KNEW I was a chatter box even back then!)
Pussy Meow (a cat that wore go-go boots and cute outfits. When pushing a button, her head would turn and made the meow sound)
Snuggle Bun and Play-all-Six. It had a high chair, cradle, rocking chair, swing, playpen and stroller. My FAVORITE doll in the whole world!

I had a Tiny Tears doll. She was the first one who cried real tears, I think.

I'm a little worried about this because my 6 year old loves guns and knives...

I do remember playing with a cap gun when I was a kid. I'd actually forgotten about that. They were probably dangerous, but what did I know back then?
