A few days before Christmas, I stopped by my mom’s and she handed me a package. She said to open it and see if I knew what it was. When I opened it, a strange familiarity surrounded me when I saw what was in it. I couldn’t exactly put my finger on it, but I knew I’d seen these wall figurines before:
And THIS is why it felt so familiar (check out the wall hangings in this pic):
Though I couldn’t put my finger on WHY they were so familiar, I knew at one point they were part of my life, my childhood. So I was excited when I found this picture to prove it! My mom discovered the fun of eBay purchases this past Christmas, and she somehow found the identical wall hangings that she had bought for me when I was a baby! So cool! I have them hanging above the door in my kids’ playroom now.
Thank you mom! What a fun blast from the past!
