Welcome to Grandma’s House. Serving Up Smiles & Memories. Toys, Nostalgia & The Little Things. XOXO
Did you have an easy bake oven? These Christmas ornaments cook up a batch of childhood memories. The box reads --“It’s quick! It’s easy!” Promise the ad when the easy bake oven was introduced in 1963. The working toy oven, powered by a light bulb, feature tiny metal pans and a variety of just-add-water mixes - even with frosting for the cakes! Girls everywhere loved - and today continue to love - this little oven that could!”
🎶What is your favorite disco song? 💃🏼 🕺🏽 When I was a teen (scroll thru to see my Disco dress) - Discomania hit the suburbs. Saturday Nights were spent at discos doing my best Saturday Night Fever imitation. John Travolta, in his white polyester vested suit, became my next heartthrob. After seeing the movie Grease I was hopelessly devoted to him.
What do you think of this 70s Disco Barbie?
Which of these fashion dolls from The Fresh Dolls Collection would you like in your dollhouse? (Thank you @thefreshdolls for this gift 🎁) Aren’t they beautiful? They were featured on Oprah’s Favorite Things.
From TheFreshDolls.com
“In 2017, Fresh was launched. For four years, I’d carried the dream of creating a multicultural fashion doll line in my heart. I wanted older girls to see their multicultural beauty reflected back to them during play. They are called Fresh because they’re a new “Fresh” perspective on dolls. These dolls have one-of-a-kind faces; that are truly works of art. They have custom-blended skin tones, beautifully authentic facial features, trendy fashions and hairstyles that include, braids, afros, afro-puffs, wavy and curly styles. Fresh doll bodies are specifically designed to be more representative by having fuller hips, thighs and more realistic waists. “

Have you ever been to a spa? Wouldn’t it be nice to go again? Since I can’t go in real life - Grandma Barbie is joining @barbieblast59 for the #barbieblastspadays
#tbt Did you read TEEN MAGAZINE? This is a story about me from TEEN Magazine in 1980 – I was just beginning my modeling journey. I was 16-years-old.
Do you play Pictionary? ( Thank you for the gift 🎁 Super Impulse) Our family spent many hours playing this game. Of course, no one wanted to be on my team because I can’t draw. At all. When I drew a turtle 🐢 my husband guessed 🐪 camel. 😬 But this World’s Smallest Pictionary by Super Impulse is just adorable.
What shows did you watch as a kid? I remember Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo. Did you watch PBS? When my kids were little they loved Sesame Street and my baby (who is now 30) had an Elmo toy just like this.
What was the last tiny thing that you made? At Christmas time, I saw that someone made little donuts 🍩 for their Elves out of Cheerios. 💡 I thought those Barbie-sized sweets would be perfect for my dollhouse. So.... first, my sister and I tried and then some grandkids helped. What do you think?
Have you seen the cartoon Rugrats? I had my own real-life Rugrats that watched the show when it was on in the early 90s. When I saw this tiny Tommy in the Toy Mini Brands - I remembered that I had bought some vintage Tommy items at the thrift store because I liked the baby furniture. So I decided to dig it out and take photos. Why is this so amusing to me?
Any Carol Burnett fans? As a child, I remember watching the show with my family ~ 1967-78. My mother loved to laugh and she thought Carol was so funny. During quarantine- I binge watched the old episodes and loved it - though it was bittersweet not hearing my mom’s laughter. What’s your memory of the show?
* MATTEL: “Went with the Wind! The Carol Burnett Show Doll - A comic legend, a noted fashion and costume designer, an unforgettable television show. These elements join forces in Went with the Wind! The Carol Burnett Show doll. One of the shows most memorable sketches "Went with the Wind" is based on the classic film "Gone with the Wind. " In an effort to woo Rat Butler, Starlet quickly creates a dress sure to impress her gentleman caller. The results are unforgettable — a velvety green gown made of drapes, complete with the curtain rod! This wonderful character doll is beautifully sculpted in the likeness of Miss Burnett. She wears an elaborate re-creation of the original costume, re-imagined by the original designer, acclaimed costumer Bob Mackie.”

What’s the weather like at your house? My sister and I decided the only way we were going to get a White Christmas in coastal 🏝 Southern California was if we made one. What do you think of our snow?

Do you have a customized doll? Who made it? The number one question I get is, “Where Did you get your doll made?” Many of you know that this is the Happy Family Grandma Barbie made by Mattel in the early 2000s. She came complete with crows feet, a thicker waist, and flat feet. She just happens to resemble me. 😳 Who can I refer the people to that are looking for a customized doll? Any suggestions?
