Flashback Friday

When I was a little girl I loved to play dress up, with barbie's and baby dolls but I loved, loved Polly Pockets!! They were my FAVORITE!!! During my childhood years I accumulated a total of 85 polly pockets. Anything from simple houses, big luxurious houses, hospital, ice cream shop(that actually smelled like strawberries), wedding dress shop, diner, pet shop, beach scene, beach house, supermarket, daycares, school house, water park, church, zoo, vet, post office, forest, boutique, cabin, tree house, fair, hotel, ice skating, pizza place, RV's, horse carriage and polly's cool convertible. You name it I probably got it.
all of them together

Each polly pocket would come with at least 2 polly's or more. Sometimes animals and lil' babies. So if you times all that by 85, well lets just say that's a lot of polly's. But I knew where each polly went & the accessories that came with them. I remember dragging out all those polly pockets & sitting each of them up. In my imaginary world they had to go a certain way & beside a certain other polly pocket. Lets just say I was very picky. Then I would have to take them all down when I was finished and box them all up. My mom would try and help me but after repeatedly hearing me say, "Mom that polly doesnt go with that one.", she just gave up. Of course Polly Pockets have came a long way since the 90's. Polly got a whole lot taller and her places got a whole lot bigger and you can even change her clothes, Ugh!! Mine were the size of peanuts and obviously a hazard to kids, haha.


These were the very first ones I got in each of the styles.


Here are a few of my favorite ones :)
supermarket, really big house, and a treehouse
village with a house, Boutique, playground & a lil' river with a bridge
House, hospital & that ice cream shop that smells like strawberries
wedding dress shop, pet store & diner with a drive thru, ha!
another village with a house, barn, piano area, beach scene, camping area, tree house and playground

...and of course Polly's transportation
horse carriage, 2 RV's & convertible


Do you have any childhood favorites?

Yeah I believe you and Bryanna would have a lot of fun with those. That would definitely be a play date for you two.
