Okay Faythe Levin, my friend, you have permanet life long status as my 4th grade BFF! Today I had a nostalgic trip back to the 80’s, back to elementary school. What a delicious experience opening the box I received in the mail. A couple of months ago I told Faythe I was longing for the plastic charm chain necklaces and charms of my youth and she said she had a whole bag full in her studio that I could have. Well today they arrived. I can not express the pee in your pants glee I got out of wasting my afternoon (when I should be working) sorting, looking, squealing and remembering. I love this collection so much I ache a little bit inside. Now, I have to hide them so that the 3 year old in the house can not locate. I will pull out my secret stash only when alone to view privately.  Now if someone out there has the yellow and white with the gable roof  Barbie Dream House from the late 70’s – that they’d like to give to me – my life will be complete. Well at least I would stop longing for the missing toys of my youth.

Here are some pics of the charms I now get to play with.
