While the kids were enjoying the water, I cleaned up my old room in Mama's house and unearthed these treasures.
My old tea set (too bad a lot of pieces are already missing). This was a present from Mama when she had a short vacation with my Tita Linda in HongKong.
My favorite toy, my prize when I graduated at the top of my Prep batch (circa 1988) - an authentic Licca Chan dollhouse.
It will be 30 years old soon! Takara Co. is now known as Tomy.
R loved it! She was so grateful.
Also handed over my vintage Barbies (the only ones left).
Dream Date Barbie
Peaches & Cream Barbie
Had I known I would have a daughter, I should've kept them all. But I guess it will be more treasured when you only keep a few.
Like these two most precious dolls of mine.
The pink Fisher Price Rattle doll I've had since I was a baby. The Cabbage Patch baby doll was a present from my Papa when he travelled to the US with my lola. I was around 7 seven then. Oh how I cried when we brought him to the airport. And when he came back and fetched me at school, happy tears flowed through my face.
Ah the memories these toys bring.
R please take good care of these toys, love them like I did. Hope they would last for more decades so that you would be able to pass them on as well to your future kids.
Wow! I should've kept my toys to pass on to my daughter. My mom gave away all our toys to relatives in the province. I also had that peaches and cream barbie, sayang! Good for you, that's really a nice keepsake memories that your daughter can enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWell, atleast I can keep my kids' toys so they can pass it to my apos... ahihi
