From My Mom's Basement

My mom brought a stash of vintage toys from the 80s! Do you remember any of these characters?

Toys from the 80's that my mom brought from her basement in Iowa.

Today I'm taking a brief break from the journal reading to show you a haul that my mom just brought from Iowa! I had no idea she still had these toys stashed away somewhere. I thought for sure they'd been re-homed during one of those "garbage sales" mentioned in last week's post.

Many I recognize, like Kermit the Frog, E.T., Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake. I don't remember the other characters' names. Do you?

Two Kermits! One new with tags (right), one is a music box that plays "Rainbow Connection" (left).

An old-school ET plushie. His tag says 1982!

Strawberry Shortcake and her friends - what are their names? I don't remember!

Rainbow Brite 1983 (left) and Rainbow Brite 40th anniversary (right)

Did you have any of these growing up? (Or did your parents?) Be sure to sign in and let me know in the comments!
