Tell me you remember the styrofoam labels on Pepsi bottles. You know you do. Gently working the label off and giving it a quick smack so it would pop. Getting kicked out of the lunch room. Ah memories.

Did you know Barbie had a little twin sister and brother named Tutti and Todd? They released dolls in 1965, now very rare. The commercial will either give you nostalgia or nightmares.

Let the soft glow of these vintage Noma Twinkle Lights transport you back to Christmas at grandma's house. Listening to the ticking of the grandfather clock as you anticipate the quarter hour gazing out the frosty windows at the fresh falling snow; the smell of fresh sugar cookies & hot chocolate hangs in the air, mingled with the scent of aging polyester and borax. The wrapped presents linger under the tinsel laden Charlie Brown Christmas tree while the soft glow of Noma Christmas Lights cast colorful shadows around the room. Nostalgia.

1966 Barbie Collection • $45

This little collection of Barbies has seen lots of love. We had to pick the grass out of the clothes from the last picnic. The two Barbies are dated 1966, the case 1968 and the clothes are an assortment with a handful of nicely had made pieces. Everything will need a bit of a spruce up; a great winter project for someone.

Remember reading? It was this thing we used to do in the old days before Audible and Spotify. Get this... they would print words on paper with a groovy cover and we would literally hold the paper and read the story. Crazy times.

These books are some spy type nonsense to rot your brain.
