I know I missed out on most of this but I still love eating at the Nordstrom's Cafe and I haven't been through London once without spending an afternoon shopping in Harrods with a pause for tea in the Georgian Tea Room. I also try to dress up for serious shopping excursions (and ALWAYS when I travel- heels are probably easier to remove than any other shoe, save for flip flops...)<br />And I loved my paper dolls and made clothes for my barbies! <br />I just love everything you write!<br />-MaggieMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570768699112071097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573099143532398301.post-20879205127608126432011-11-06T15:55:23.259-06:002011-11-06T15:55:23.259-06:00And sewing for Barbie (that twit with the perfect ...And sewing for Barbie (that twit with the perfect figure). I filled a Lord & Taylor coat box (with the red rose on it) with clothes for a '61 Barbie for a 9 year old cousin. There were at least 60 outfits, each pattern was used multiple times for every fabric piece from gingham to satin and silk, fur and everything else I could get my hands on... Wonder where those clothes are now!HeckyPethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936894673985647342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573099143532398301.post-54773939944690416912011-11-06T14:46:42.251-06:002011-11-06T14:46:42.251-06:00Of course you mean "Betsy McCall", right...Of course you mean "Betsy McCall", right? I'm thinking maybe I should do something on paper dolls. If you loved fashion at an early age you were probably crazy about paper dolls.

No...Wonderful story. I have so many memories too. <br /><br />Now, Paper Dolls! Do you remember Betsy McCoy? Although they were somewhat stingy with only two outfits each month. <br /><br />And my all time star: Katy Keene. You could send in your own designs and sometimes they would publish them. But they never paid anything...!HeckyPethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936894673985647342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573099143532398301.post-26066074594415900982011-11-05T15:39:50.494-05:002011-11-05T15:39:50.494-05:00I forgot I was terrified of the escalators— not to...I forgot I was terrified of the escalators— not to the point that I wouldn't take them, but I felt relieved I didn't get sucked down into the mechanism when we reached the next floor.allwaysinfashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351565252580853058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573099143532398301.post-6524592724831231672011-11-05T15:14:06.557-05:002011-11-05T15:14:06.557-05:00i love this story--- i would only add the occasion...i love this story--- i would only add the occasion of buying " the spring coat" - a thing that simply does not exist anymore. My shopping memories were Wannemakers, Best&Co and McCreeries- all in Manhattan. We would take the double decker bus up fifth avenue to get to Best's.<br />SIGH. I guess every big city had that crazy kiddie dessert- i remember they looked like clowns, with the icecream cone at the top of the dish of semi melting icecream as the hat for the clown. Probably cherries for eyes. The amazing thing was the ride on the escalator, usually in the center of the biggest stores- it was like being inside a dollhouse !deegeenoreply@blogger.com
