You can tell you are getting old when you see all of the toys you had as a kid in antique stores. They are advertised as "vintage" and priced three or four times higher than what they originally cost. I was Holly Hobbie crazy when I was little. I had the original Holly Hobbie sewing machine when it first came out...I just found it on Ebay. Instead of lemonade stands my friends and I used to have craft stands in the front yard. Thank you to all those people that bought our horrible crafts. Actually I think my Mom bought most of them, probably because she felt sorry for us. Thanks Mom!! I know they were horrible because she still has some of them.

How can you tell you are getting old?

Oh, my gosh, I loved Holly Hobbie! I had this great tiny little doll house with her - she had a wood stove and a tiny cast iron skillet.
My daughter had one of the new, hoochy mama Holly Hobbies a couple of years ago. It broke my heart to see her like that!
Oh your post gave me a big laugh. I also LOVED Holly Hobbie. What is even more funny all these years 2 things I couldn't get rid of were my Holly Hobbie doll and my Holly Hobbie purse. Being the purse lover that I am my very first purse that I have a memory of was my Holly Hobbie one and both the purse and the doll I still have in a tub in my basement. Too funny.
