I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY vintage 80s toys, many of which were toys I had as a little girl. It almost brought tears to my eyes, nostalgia just works that way I think. ❤️ 

I think holidays are such a special time and I love pairing that special nostalgic feeling with every season. Is it a curse? Maybe, but maybe not? 🥹🥹🥹
