I may be dating myself but I remember Jellies well. They weren't quite as cool as Kangaroos but they were the cheap footwear of choice when I was a young kid and came in a variety of soda pop "flavors".
So I'm on Facebook and a banner ad pops up adverstising Kate Spade jellies. I normally ignore banner ads but in this case I just had to look. Yep, sure enough, Kate Spade has a line that includes several styles of jellies. Alas, at $60 (for plastic shoes, yikes!), they are no longer a cheap choice and they also don't come in cool colors like grape soda, 7-up and root beer.
Now I'm remembering all the cool toys I used to play with and I'm thinking we should start a retro toy collection for Fiori. These are some items that pop into my mind. What other toys do you remember?
- Sit n Spin
- Baby Alive
- Holly Hobby oven/Betty Crocker microwave
- Light Bright
- Hula hoop
- Big Wheel/Green Machine
- Spyro-Gyro

Chatty Cathy Doll, tinkertoys (probably a baby hazard, huh?), pink stinkray bike with a banana seat (for those elementary years), twister for her teen years, lincoln logs (even girls like 'em)
Although, on the new toy front, Littlest Pet Shop toys are a big hit with both the boys and girls in my house.
Love the jellies...but don't they make for sweaty little feet?
