Polly .......

Went to KCM  resale for "the dress" again today. No dress but definitely not a bust.....
I picked up this box for $4 because after a little peek through the sides I knew it would be money well spent.
(and all the responsible people chuckled)
Yep. Polly Pockets :)
 And the girls were SO excited! But then they were SO mad when I wouldn't let them manhandle everything..... look at Sarah's Home Alone face, ha ha!
Seriously, these are not re-enactments, folks. These two were livid.
Here's a sample of dialogue that was spat at me during the whole Polly Pocket
 freeze out:
"You're mean! God said you need to share. To share for girls!"
"Awww, mom! I wish when I grow up I could remember that when I was a little girl you let me play with that box."
And I heard Sarah whispering "We're gonna make a clubhouse. So we can sneak that box..."
And yes. That is a real tear.

I also got this sheet set (fitted and top!) for $4.  I think an ebay seller must've died because there was some amazing stuff today. But $10 was my budget/all I had to my name : / 
(and all the responsible people chuckled again)




So now, in two trips to look for a suitable dress I have successfully spent my dress allowance.
So I will have to wear this sheet.
I can work it ;)
Soooo, I know this post is becoming tedious......
but later I snuck into my room with the box and pulled it all out.
 This is my memory of Polly Pocket....
 And this little one.
I actually remember owning this lip gloss one. But unlike this previous owner, I ate mine all up.
 Talk about some "rich kids toys" ! Like, I didn't even know about all these multi-level set-ups....
 And freakin ponies with hair braiding and accessories action?!
I should've taken more shots of the business inside but the girl's could have came in at any moment......
 Gabe came in but I allowed it.
He got a few hand swats....
 And a super bonus of Snoopy awesomeness was also in that box :)

  1. You totally rock that Smurfs sheet. Do you sew/know a seamstress? I've been seeing dresses and tank-tops on Etsy that were sewn out of old Star Wars sheets... just an idea... Maybe the dress budget didn't totally got to... not buying... a dress? Plus: Snoopies!!!

    1. Semi-asian lookin gal with blunt bangs? I have been eyein those Star Wars dresses for a good bit... I sew, but not so well.
      But I could never desecrate these sheets... it would go against my inner vow to appreciate all things kitsch/nostalgic/vintage/weird/unique/rare/odd/cheap. Pretty much, most things. Which Snoopy is your favorite? Mine's the "chillaxin with Woodstock" Snoopy

    2. Pretty much in any situation where there are 5 equally cool Snoopies... I go with Halloween every time. We have a few we hang on the tree every year, including (I think...) the one holding actually holding a tree in the picture above.

    1. Hello! I am familiar with your blog, Miss M :) I have often ran into it over the last year in my random google searches for childhood toys! I have so many blogs on my reader that have turned into Sponsor Post-O-Roma this last year and frankly, they're just boring now.... I've added yours and look forward to enjoying regularly.
      You're tale of first love with your She-Ra cracked me up!
