REMCO 1970 Doll - Polly Puff or ?

 

   

 

 

I found this lovely little doll a couple of weeks ago at a vintage show and sale.  I thought she was so cute.  I have been looking high and low to find out who she is, and I can't find anything about her.  REMCO had a similar doll called Lil' Polly Puff, she looks just the same, but has blonde hair and her body is made of a different fabric.  I can't find anything about her being made with Brown hair or having a friend.

 

 

UPDATE

 

She sold for $30, but the buyer didn't know who she was either.  She collects Remco and was happy to get her, but she is still unknown.  Any ideas?

I'm having a big sale in my Toy-Addict ebay store.  Everything is on sale and I am still willing to take offers!  Let's clear it out people!! I've got a lot of fun stuff listed there that I'm sure you need!

Sorry, the sale has ended but I still have lots of fun stuff at my store with great prices.

Remco - Sweet April Doll Booklet - Part 2 - Strolling Sweet April 1973

Sweet April was a little before my time, but I had lots of used toys and dolls.  I had her and some of her accessories, but never knew her name.  You can Click on the images to make them larger.



Remco 1972 Sweet April Doll Booklet

Sweet April is a cute little baby doll about 4" tall.  She drinks water from her bottle, and if you give her too much water she cries.  Poor, poor April!  It looks like she has some pretty cute outfits and accessories.  Not sure why the logo has a read head.  I'm pretty sure she only came in blonde hair, blue eyes.

Strawberry Shortcake Greeting Cards Information UPDATE

Some of my pages have gotten neglected lately, and I am trying to fix that.  I have fixed and updated LOTS of fun Greeting Cards to the Strawberry Shortcake Greeting Card Information Page.  There are literally hundreds of cards listed there.  They are one of my favorite parts of Strawberry Shortcake collecting!  There are lots of cards listed here that I don't have.  Those images came mostly from ebay listings that I didn't win.  If you have any of these cards for sale, PLEASE let me know.



  

Big Eyes!!!

The new movie Big Eyes came out over Christmas.  It's directed by Tim Burton, who I love to pieces, and stars Amy Adams(Love her too!).  The movie was fantastic, dramatic and dark at times. It definitely had some subtle Tim Burton touches, but no burning windmills.

The movie follows the story of an artist, Margaret Keane.  Her husband steals the credit for her paintings and she lets it happen for over a decade until they divorce.  Many people still don't realize that she did the paintings, not her husband Walter.  They started a movement that became wildly popular and spawned lots of knock-offs.  Posters, cards, puzzles, and even a doll, Blythe!

My sister collects Big Eyed girls, "but not Keane (Margaret Keane the original painter) because they are too dark and creepy."  She prefers the sweeter girls in harlequin outfits and playing guitars or dressed as sad ballerinas.

I've got this little beauty in my Etsy shop, Vintage Toy Addict right now.  Also not her style, but so randomly odd I had to list it.  It's a big eyed Bonnie, ftrom Bonnie and Clyde fame.  She is holing a violin case, presumably filled with machine guns, and standing in from of a 30's style car she will soon die in.  It's so random and weird!

Iron-Ons, T-shirt Transfers

I totally need this!!!

Do you remember those t-shirt stores in the mall?  In the 80's, every mall had one.  A store will countless iron-ons to pick from to get transfered to a ringer t-shirt (usually white t-shirt with colored ring collar and sleeves) or a baseball shirt (usually white t-shirt with raglan sleeves).  Problem with iron ons usually was that they would look bad after your mom forgot that they couldn't go in the dryer, or the shirt was too stretchy.  Either way, you would spend your hard earned allowance on an awesome Mr/T shirt, only to have the picture all cracked and jacked up looking after one week.  Still, where else could you find exercising cats on a shirt?  Or glitter pictures of Ponch and John from CHiPs?  Sadly, the iron on trend is gone, but there are still some die hards out there, hawking their vintage wares on Ebay and Etsy!  I came across this shop today and just had to share it in case you never got the glitter Mystery Machine shirt you always wanted.  You know my motto is, "It's never to late to have a good childhood."


Did anyone really ever do this to their Gremlin?

www.irononstation.com Their website and Iron On Station Etsy Store.  They seem

to have different items on each.  I am sure there are lots of sites and stores out there with these items, in case you don't find EXACTLY what you want.  But these guys have some pretty fun stuff.
