And finally...Fashion Plates. I got this for my birthday in 1982. This was good for hours and hours of entertainment.

I Love the 80s
Some fun things I found while digging through childhood treasures...
My prized sticker collection
Remember writing everything in bubble letters?
My favorite page...full of Lisa Frank stickers. Nonna and DeeDa had infinite patience with me at the mall as I perused through racks and racks of Lisa Frank stickers.
I remember putting all the stickers in this Cabbage Patch book. It just doesn't seem like it was that long ago.
I absolutely *loved* My Pretty Ponies. I felt so fancy with my carrying case and combs. I remember playing with this over Christmas break with my cousin from Chicago. We listened to Duran Duran's "Arena" and swooned over the Taylors (John, Roger, Andy...pick one).

i love the 80's too! great memories
I remember sticker collecting!
Oh, how I remember the Lisa Frank phase! My sticker collection was out of control. I actually managed to save all of it. I loved My Little Pony, too, but unfortunately got rid of them.
I used to love the Fashion Plates! I would spend HOURS creating high fashion outfits! :)
I was just thinking I wish I had my fashion plates for my daughter to play with. I played with fashion plates for so long....it was hours of entertainment. I think I will look on ebay now. Thanks for the childhood memories. Luckily you saved everything.
I love the 80's too! Duran Duran was one of my faves -John Taylor-ahhhhhhhh.....
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. It really doesn't seem that long ago!
ooooooooo I totally forgot about my sticker collection! I'll have to venture up to the atic at my parents to find it! That'll bring some awesome "classic throwbacks" to my scrapbooking now! =)
love it! pretty sure my mom already threw all of my stuff away years ago. :(
I recently gave one of my cabbage patch dolls to my daughter I even have the birth certificates from them.
I LOVED my little ponies. I totally had one of those fashion plated things. I also use to do the sticker thing, I think every little girl did.
One of my first blog posts was about Fashion Plates. It was hands down my favorite toy when I was a kid. I recently found mine at my mom's in a box with other toys. I brought it home and I'm not ashamed to say I've played with it with my little neighbor girls. :-)
I had a skicker book too...and I loved Duran Duran!
Oh, the memories.... My sister and I were sticker WHORES. We didn't bother with sticker books, though. Much to my mothers despair, we plastered them all over our bedroom doors. I think the sticky remnants were there until she finally replaced the doors.
Fashion Plates RULED.
I remember Fashion Plates! Those were awesome.
OMG, I was totally thinking just this morning how much I loved Fashion Plates!!!
OMG OMG I LOVED my sticker book! Thanks for the trip through my childhood!
You know, we're not sure there is anything as scary as the Duran Duran hair!
tp
I had the 90s version of fashion plates!!!!! I LOVED that toy more than anything!
I remember that My Little Pony case. Oh, how I wish I had that and my Barbies back. My little one would have so loved seeing that!

LOVE IT ALL!!!!
Oh, and since you said to pick one, I'll take John, please!!
do you remember the time that your punishment was to turn your sticker book over to me for a week?
I remember you said, "and don't look for it either!"
Gosh this brings back memories, I had the same Cabbage Patch Book and Fashion Plates. How about Rainbow bright and fuzzy balls on your roller skates....Were those the good ol days?
LOVE IT! I had Fashion Plates. I wish they still made those.
Thanks for the awesome trip back to my childhood!

GIrl, Cabbage Patch Kids Baby Book, Sticker Books and Fashion Plates? Are we kindred spirits or WHAT? What a blast from the past and a wonderful memory. And I had pins that I would wear of Nick and Simon from Duran Duran. My love for them will never die.
I loved stickers and fashion plates too.
oh girl, I'm with you on duran duran!
That's THE sticker book I had!!!! I can't believe it! Oh I loved stickers!!! LOVED them :)
Such a GREAT post. I had completely forgotten about Fashion Plates! And don't even get my started on my Lisa Frank collection! I am so mad at my mom (not mad, just disappointed) - I don't think she saved anything from our childhoods!!! I go digging in the basement and come up with nothing . . . although, on second thought, my dad is a spontaneous purger . . . maybe it's him I should be after!
OMG!!! FASHION PLATES! Loved 'em!
Do you remember the plastic charm necklaces and charms? I had so many of those! I was into Barbie - but never My Little Pony. Great pics!
Thanks for the memories. I too loved my fashion plates. A few years back I saw them in a store so I quickly snatched them up for my daughter. I couldn't wait to show her. We sat down and started creating masterpeices, except there was hardly anything on the paper. These were nothing like the originals. That was the last time they were used.
oh my....your past is my past. Your parents did a great job of holding on to things. I'm sure my stuff went out when the divorce came in. I had all that stuff...my sticker album was my greatest posession and the fashion plates..I had those too! Just found your blog (12/10) Your posts are quite enjoyable to read!!
AHHH Fashion Plates! I just found your blog and I love it already. I have a 2 year old-so if I find them on Ebay, they will totally be for me:)
