What were those things??

It's been bothering me for a few years now. I kept thinking about these dolls I had when I was younger. I can remember the "dark and stormy night" ( not to hard to come by in Oregon...) that my mom and I stopped by this store in Milwakee, I can remember (dimly) the lights of the store, the rows of things....and the toy section. I remember getting them, holding the boxes on the way home and being frustrated that I couldn't get the boxes open. I can still smell their lovely rose sented smell (and no they weren't strawberry shortcake dolls.) the pretty dresses that made them look like flowers, the colors: one was pink the other one was yellow, and the little shimmery dew drops. I still wonder, "whatever happened to those things!!"



After a little determined research I found them! Hurray! The mystery is solved, those lovely dolls were the "Rose Petal Place" dolls. I had the Rose one and the Daffodill one.
Other Fav Toys of the 80's:
Care Bears
My little Ponies
Popples
Pound Puppies
Rainbow Bright
Strawberry shortcake
She-ra Action figures (I think I had Frosta, Catra, and the pink one with wings...whatever her name was...)
Lady Lovely Locks
Moondreamers (I had Blinky and Ursa)
and of course Barbies.

I thought they looked familiar! Leave it to Lyd to remember which ones we each had ;)
