A Childhood Dream Realized!!


OK, So when I was a small child, one of my nextdoor friends had every toy imaginable! In particular, she had the NEW Fisher Price Giant Screen Music Box TV! Oh how I wanted one! I used to go straight to it whenever I went to her house to play.

I never got one.

Yesterday, I went to Salvation Army in search of silk ties for a costume project, but was stopped in my tracks when I saw this behind the counter..where they keep the "Good Stuff". I asked to see it, wound it up, and watched it roll the pictures and play the melody.

I was five years old again! Uh,,YES...I bought it! Especially when another customer said "AWWWWW" and started toward it.

Now it will sit in a special place to remind me about what it was like to be a kid and wish for something...and GET IT!!!.......Finally.

    Don't you just LOVE that???? Every once in a while, I'll run across something while thrifting that makes me think of the time when I was a little girl!
    It's so nice to reminisce... and finally have your hands on that certain, priceless treasure!
    Good job!
    Loves,
