The classics! I’ve got that whole set still, too!

For a while many years ago I started a cookie cutter collection during the hey-day of EBay. I collect cookbooks as well. Sold too. I have bags and bags of cookie cutters. They also doubled as Play Dough cutters as well, so they were well used in this house!. I still have them. My favorite is a very large one of Snoopy on his doghouse!

I collect vintage cookie cutters too and pretty much anything old that belongs in the kitchen - including mid-century “hostess” aprons.

I have a Snoopy cookie cutter too - he is snoozing atop his doghouse with one floppy ear hanging down - it’s a red plastic one. 🤶

That’s an old one for sure!

I have two mid 1970/80-ish ones someone still had, in good condition, that I got on EBay many years ago, still in the boxes. Just used it the other day,actually. So much fun to use them!

I’ll be using mine next week - making Christmas wreaths with green icing for the Holly and tiny bits of peppermint canes for the Holly berries! 👩‍🍳

I loved those lights. Would watch the bubbles like a fireplace (which we didn't have).

They were mesmerizing….

However, I also remember that, when one burnt out, they all did, and my poor Dad was always in charge of finding the errant light and replacing it.

As a kid we would give each other a ride in these!

Does anyone else remember when these were atop Christmas trees?

We had one when I was very young, but it was replaced by an angel.

I do remember these; seemed like every other year one would shatter during tree "take down" activity 😉 although I suspect Mom somehow just wanted a new one for next year...

I’m glad somebody else remembers these! ….I have found a few at estate sales, but they are pretty scarce.

As I was thinking about making paper chains and snowflakes, I fondly remembered this old magazine. It was always chock full of creative ways to use construction paper, pipe cleaners, Dixie cups, toilet paper rolls and scraps into countless items. It kept me busy for hours, and I remember eagerly awaiting its delivery. ….those certainly were simpler days….
