The Toys We Used To Love (and still do) Care Bears

Yesterday my niece tried to get me to give her my Grumpy Bear Care Bear and yet at 43 I could still not part with it. Today I am sharing some love of the Care Bears with you.  Grumpy Bear was always and still is my favorite. I have him in my room still. My mother brought him back from Montreal for me and I have loved him ever since.
I found a great Etsy shop offering you a chance to pick your own vintage Care Bear.  The Pink Room has some amazing vintage finds, click here for shop and listing.

I remember loving this artwork so much and wishing for this cup in the 1980's and I found it and more in the 80's Rainbow Shop, seriously considering ordering one and the my little pony one too... Click here for shop and listing.

I still remember the first commercial I saw and the Tender Heart Bear that was in the commercial. Though I only had Grumpy Bear, and I still have him. I loved the simplicity and comfort of this lovely little bear.

The Toys We Used To Love, Sea Wee Dolls...

I was thinking back to these little mermaid toys we had when I was growing up, I am actually pretty sure it was my sisters that had these lovely little dolls. I came across them in the Polly Pocket Plus Etsy Shop and was reminded that these were called Baby Sea Wee Dolls! This one is in perfect condition and click here to see it in the shop! 

I was very sure my sisters dolls had hair and I looked a bit more and found the one I know my sister had in the Candy's Toy Box Etsy Shop! I loved these little dolls, though my sisters took them into the bath and I know they are long gone! Click here to see this one listed in shop.

We had these Wrinkle Dogs that were also puppets and I came across this one in the Etsy Shop called Nina's Treasures. I knew I wanted to share the Wrinkle Dogs with you today. Click here for this lovely boy!

Memories of Midnight...

Have you ever loved something so much and completely forgotten about it, until reminded by a smell or a photo? My birthday is this week and I remember loving my Midnight Barbie Horse more than just about anything. I played for hours with her and my western Barbie. I still remember how the horses hair felt, the sadel which was really hard to put on and how much I loved the muzzle of my horse.

I was extremely delighted to find these beautiful photos and this listing in an Etsy Shop called Polly Pocket Plus.  The horse is priced just under $40 CND and about $20 for shipping. It is very tempting especially because of how great a condition she appears to be in.

I had such a wonderful trip down memory lane with seeing this listing. While I do love that Barbie's new horse walks on it's own there is just something so magical for me in this Midnight horse. Take a look for yourself at the listing on Etsy by clicking here.
