My kids all loved things like your shoe. DD had a bear family and a house with little people made by some fabulous German company (both of which I've saved). She also had a set of 16 hard plastic dogs which came in a convenient carrying case and which could be toted about. We'd play "dog show" or "dog farm" or "dog family" for hours. Henry was more into the Brio trains and, when younger, the Fisher Price "Little People" house. <br />Thanks for bringing back those sweet memories.<br />RindaMaria Ontiveroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00120998825608732473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-2710727652295164002010-11-21T20:33:56.108+00:002010-11-21T20:33:56.108+00:00Oh Sian, this is so lovely,I can really remmeber a...Oh Sian, this is so lovely,I can really remmeber a couple of presents that I so loved but don't have the real things now ..hmmmmm maybe I could improvise - might be a post coming up ;-) xDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187992730722543308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-18215207242710796392010-11-21T19:26:57.195+00:002010-11-21T19:26:57.195+00:00How wonderful that you still have that amazing gif...How wonderful that you still have that amazing gift ~ you just know that your mum would have put so much love in to each and every piece.
