A Gen-X Treasure Trove

I am so excited to tell you about this Etsy shop I just discovered. It's called Oopsee Daisies and it sells vintage kids' products--including toys, books, and clothing--with a focus on the 1960s and 70s. In other words, the products of my youth.

I was delighted to see these old favorites. Do you remember them too? I'd love to hear your memories--please post them in the comments. I'll also be sharing more at my Growing Up 70s/80s Pinterest board.

Fisher Price Airport, 1972 ($29). A classic Little People toy (reminds me of the TWA terminal at JFK).


Judy Blume Paperbacks, Set of 4, 1980s ($12). These are the exact Dell editions that I had, too. Won't ever forget that purple paperback edition of Are You There God...? It's Me Margaret.

Mattel Baby That-A-Way, 1974 ($28). I remember that I wanted this crawling doll so badly!


Milton Bradley Battleship Game, 1971 Remember the commercial: "You sunk my battleship"? This game forever reminds me of rainy days at day camp.


Take a trip down memory lane at Oopsee Daisies .

    I loved the Little People airport. I played with Little People constantly. I can't get my son interested in them at all.

    I played with them all the time, too- and my favorite was the Hospital set with the little x-ray machine.
