Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?
When I was a young child I had barbie dolls as many young girls do. Growing up there wasn’t a lot of money for things past the essentials but that’s okay it taught me some great life lessons that I still practice today. Getting back to what I was saying, my dolls didn’t have the fancy sequined party dresses other girls dolls had, the tiny shoes or the many little accessories that go with them. What I did have the other girls didn’t was a box of Barbie clothes my grandmother made for them and the clothes even had elastic, zippers, buttons and snaps. My grandmother was an excellent seamstress. Oh how I regret getting rid of those clothes as when I no longer played with Barbies I didn’t want the clothes but I was too young to make that decision to give away such valuable items. I wish my mother had stepped in and kept them safe for me because I don’t know what happened to them.

I was given a napkin ring that had belonged to Juliet Gordan Lowe, founder of the Girl Scouts. I disappeared when my mother cleaned out all my drawers when they moved while I was in college. I always regretted that she didn’t put my stuff in a box for me.
Awee, that’s a shame. Things always seem to get misplaced while moving. What a memorable thing that would have been to have.
