The other day, we got a package in the mail from Than and Nicole. When I saw the return address, I knew what was in the package and I got so excited. I called Amelie over and we both made noises of delight as we unwrapped each package.

My Polly Pockets!

This collection of tiny Polly Pockets was one of my favorite toys when I was a little girl. When I outgrew them, we passed them on to my niece Claire. Now that Amelie is old enough, Claire and Nicole sent them our way. I think it’s amazing how well they’ve been taken care of all these years!

The collection.

There are tons of tiny figurines, cottages, houses, a toy store, a preschool, even a bridal shop! Each little house or structure opens up to reveal rooms and tiny furniture and vignettes. When you close them back up, they are sweet little houses. Unwrapping these brought back so many memories. Honestly, I teared up a little. I can still remember how I felt playing with these when I was little and now Amelie gets to enjoy them, too.

So much fun!

This collection is now Amelie’s favorite thing to play with. She arranges them into neighborhoods and sets up the little dolls. Thank you, Claire and Nicole, for taking such good care of these!
