Blueberry Muffin Mix Scans - 1981 Strawberry Shortcake

You all know that I collect Strawberry Shortcake and have been obsessed with her since 1979.

When I started collecting again in the 90s and started to join collector communities, I found photos of

this elusive item and remember going to the store and begging my mom to buy it.  She refused

because she knew I didn't like blueberries and probably wouldn't eat them!

I've been looking for YEARS, but of course, people usually didn't keep this box.

A few years ago I got an amazing lot of SSC items from a sweet collector named Emily. Turns out we grew up a couple of blocks apart.  We would have been besties if we knew each other!

This box was in the lot, along with several other items I've been looking for for the last 30 years or so!

(I made a video of that haul! It's below the photos.)

 

Can you tell the difference between the Vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls and the new Retro Dolls?

I made a You Tube Short to show the difference, so you don't get confused.

 

Recent Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Videos on You Tube!

I've recently posted a couple of videos about my Strawberry Shortcake Collection.

I've been rearranging and changing!

I don't think I've shared my Health & Beauty items before because they 

were never really displayed in a way that I liked.  They got their own shelf

now and I am happy with how they look!

Video from the 1982 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade w/Strawberry Shortcake

I love this!  I wish they would have shown better close ups of everyone!

They must have been promoting the Pets on Parade special.

Are you a Strawberry Shortcake Completeist?

I am!  I want to collect it ALL!  Today a 16mm Film of the World of Strawberry Shortcake special showed up on ebay.  I only tell you because I already have it! ;-)  One of my other hobbies is collecting and watching 16mm so they fit together nicely.
