A favorable item?

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.

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

My grandmother was an excellent seamstress, her name was Hazel. Growing up it was just my mother and I and we didn’t have a lot of money so I didn’t have a lot of material things. I didn’t wear the latest fashions and was teased sometimes and embarrassed. My grandparents lived about an hour away but my grandfather died when I was just 9 so it was just my grandmother, my mom and myself. My grandmother didn’t live with us. When I was young I had some barbie dolls and as a surprise ,my grandmother made a bunch of beautiful barbie clothes for them and they even had snaps, buttons and zippers. As a child when I outgrew dolls I no longer wanted them. I really wish my mom had kept them . I don’t know where they are now.
