I don’t remember the Tinkerbell spoon if we did.

I’ve been loving these memory lane visits too! Did we have a Tinkerbell spoon?

The plate was made by Universal Pottery and is part of their Ballerina line. The color name is Chartreuse.

Unless I’m mistaken, that green plate of Opal’s was of the earlier Fiesta… In the past year or so they have re-introduced the Fiesta line. Penney’s carries it, and I’m sure other stores do as well. My favorite of her dishes was the turquoise water pitcher with the flat sides. So you could still get a new set with a variety of colors, but the are different colors.
Have you been finding some of the dolls you use to have?

Kim, I had forgotten most of these items and stories. I saw one thing and then that caused me to remember another, when I found it I also found myself remembering another good thing. You could also just type is something like 60′s toys or vintage kitchen and then thumb through all the pages just to see what looks familiar. Some of our good memories end up hidden with the bad and aren’t gone but just waiting to be found again.

Fun trip down memory lane. Jennifer is a big fan of replacing childhood memories on ebay. I just wish I had all of your memories. There’s very little that I remember from my childhood. Probably a protection mechanism!

CeCe, they did come in a variety of colors. Twelve colors I think. I think it would be fun to have a set of the dinner plates in all the colors so that I could mix and match them.

I just looked at your color again and yep, I think it is the same. I will be looking for it when over at dad’s and in the valley again!

Chia,
My mother had a serving dish just like the one in your first picture. I am not sure it was or is ( it may still be in a cupboard somewhere in her kitchen ) the exact same color. Did they come in different colors? As I recall, hers is a shade of green.

One of my favorites I’d love to see again was a little box of bird pictures, you could send for from Arm & Hammer Soda. They put out a 2nd set a few years later. That was when I was a kid, but I think I let you kids “see” them, and that was sort of the end of them. Do you remember those? Then when you were kids, we could buy cool Bird books with pages longer seft to right than up and down. I think we had a series of about 4 of those. No wonder we all love birds. We started early!
