Day 12 - Charms
Back in the mid-80's, my parents had some odd jobs at a large outdoor flea market. I remember them bringing home random things like a slide guitar, chess set and lots of cheap plastic stuff from China for me! I loved the bright belts, hair clips and page after page of stickers! The charms in the picture were one of the things they used to get for me. I think I might have brought these back after my last visit with my relatives in California. I still have childhood stuff that hasn't been completely dealt with out there and so I took a few things from their storage unit. I didn't have any real idea what I wanted with the charms, but I took what I could carry on the plane. I don't like the feeling of other people having to hold my stuff for me until I am situated to take it, but it is what it is right now. I noticed that these little charms are very popular on eBay right now and so I listed them for sale.

Good luck with that! I had tons of them growing up on one of those telephone-cord-type plastic keyring bracelets. :) Now I'm all nostalgic... but not enough to buy more. Maybe I'll just save your picture. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea Carrie, I am thinking about keeping this pic too! I still have loads of Barbies and Legos to go through someday though, so this was a small drop in the bucket!
ReplyDeletei remember those, i cant believe you still had them. how funny. i am trying to part with all my keychains. all the ones i have left have some sentimental value, so it will happen, but just not today...
ReplyDeleteWow, I had completely forgotten about these things! I had probably about 10 of them; I remember other kids in my school had dozens or hundreds. Yours look like the plastic has held up pretty well over time. I have no clue where mine went.
