ESTATE SALE HAUL - Avon Bottles - These are pretty interesting! ~ VIDEO

There are some pretty awesome items on this video.  I love finding these old Avon bottles but not that many people collect them.  I don't know why, they are pretty fun.  

Doesn't my kitty cat look just like Mrs. Norris from Harry Potter?  That's her name!

 Some folks have created a Goonies themed adventure card game.  If you're a Goonie and love card/table games, check it out.  It looks like fun.

Pre Teen Troll Dolls with Curvy Chests! WEIRD! ~ VIDEO

This trolls are strange!  They are a lot taller than normal trolls and they have jointed arms and legs, and the girls have boobs!  I just thought that was super weird for troll dolls.  Interestingly enough, they don't have the regular real shapely Troll butt.  I guess they thought that would be too much? They are called Fashion Tracey and they have all kinds of different outfits.

Do you watch The Outsiders on WGN?

Like many other channels, WGN has started making some of their own shows. One of those shows is called, "The Outsiders".  The show is about a clan living in the hills in Kentucky.  They don't live in the modern world, but a mining company wants to force them off of their mountain.  It's pretty interesting and very entertaining.  The show stars Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy) who plays Little Foster, David Morse who plays Big Foster, and Kyle Gallner who play Hasil Farrell.

My sister has made a Hasil Farrell doll and he is currently for sale on Etsy.

She-Ra is Coming Your Way!

My sister loved She-Ra and I am sure she was pretty excited with the prospect of She-Ra getting her own show.  Did they really think they would get boys to watch because of "Guest appearances by HE-MAN." ?  That girl can do her own fighting!

Thingmaker Fighting Men by Mattel ~ VIDEO

I found another ThingMaker!  I can't believe it.  This one is called Fighting Men and it makes army men and 40 accessories to go with the army men.  It's a pretty cool set.  I wish I had the Plastigoop needed to put these together.  The more I see of these sets, the more I like them.  I would have been the kind of kid who spent hours making all of the items and then never actually played with them, just made more and more.

Plus, here's the toy catalog that came with it.  I want the fright factory set.  Hey Mom, look at my new shrunken head!

Also, see the video for the fun flowers set and the fully scanned instruction book that goes with it.

Strawberry Shortcake Clip Art Mania ~ VIDEO

I haven't been able to figure out all of my hosting stuff to fix the website pages, but I have been making some videos.  Just in case you were missing all of those lovely Strawberry Shortcake images!

Sylvanian Families 1985 TOMY Catalog Booklet and Stickers ~ Babblebrook Family

These fuzzy little critters are so cute!  I didn't have many of these as a kid, but the ones I did have, didn't have clothes.  It seemed to make more sense to me anyway.  I played with them more like they were forest critters, not people.

That was a fun project.

I found this great pile of Little Golden Books at an estate sale last weekend.  It was such a fun sale!  I got all kinds of stuff there.

Vintage AMSCO Supermarket Grocery Store Playset 1969 - VIDEO

I love teeny tiny things!  This little supermarket is so cute.  It came almost complete, only missing some of the groceries but I had some in my collection that fit perfectly.  The scale and the cash register really work and there are even coins in the register.

Do you know what these pets are?

I got these pets in a bag of Littlest Pet Shop G1 animals.  They have similar actions but I don't know what they are from.  Do you have any idea? They are super cute!

Vintage Strawberry Shortcake Collection - Birthday Party Supplies & Corkboards - VIDEO

I never had all of these fun supplies at my birthday parties.  We couldn't afford it.  But I do remember having Strawberry Shortcake cereal for my birthday party sleep over when I was 6.  The milk turned pink and tasted so strawberry sweet.
