Things you got rid of that you still wish you had

I still wish I had a lot of my old baseball cards I had as a kid. Some of those have to be worth quite a bit. Kicking myself.

Hubby's letters to me while we were still in high school...in different states.

Didn't think it would end up like this!

Childhood books. BSC, Little House series, Ann of Green Gables series, all my Judy Blume's, sigh... my 2nd grader is getting into Judy Blume, and she'll be moving into the others in a year or so.

So many things... but I think most importantly I had the entire set of first edition "Barbies Around the World." They are worth quite a bit of money now... of course I played with them all so they wouldn't be worth so much. I actually was truly a Barbie girl and had over 250 of them but they were stolen from my grandmother's attic by a contractor. Including the original dream house, Barbie McDonalds, stores, and more... *sigh*

I have a TON of BSC books in my parents basement that they want to get rid of (now that I'm married and own my own house and all.....) let me know if you want me to ship them your way.

BSC was a little after my time and I just kept looking at it and thinking Bat Shit Crazy. hahahahahaha

I gave all my Barbies to my next door neighbor's great granddaughter. That was the best and most proper place for them to go, but a little part of me still wishes I had them just because so many people and so much of my childhood is just gone. I did keep my box of paper dolls though. When I cleaned out Mom & Dad 33's house, the things I found I absolutely couldn't part with were my books....from all ages. They were the easiest things to keep and move, so I did.

Yes to the books! I got rid of all my BSC, Nancy Drew and Goosebumps books and I really wish I hadn't. And ahhh! Judy Blume was such a big part of my childhood. I read Are You There God? It's Me Margaret. just about 10,000 times.

I wish I had every book I ever owned. I mean, I have a lot now, but I want them all back.

I had a boat load of Barbies and the dream house too. I had a couple of pools, the townhouse, my sister had the cottage, i had the dream store, and the Barbie & the Rockers stage. I had the big camper/motorhome, horses, and a pink and yellow corvette--and all of the roses and ribbons furniture series. Our entire basement looked like a Barbie town.

I miss those days

The treadmill that I got rid of when I moved years ago. I didn't feel like being bothered with loading and unloading it. Now treadmills cost a lot more now than they did when I purchased that treadmill 13 years ago.

My brown, black, and cream dress shirt that I loved so dearly. I threw it away years ago because I got a random stain on it. I miss it so much and wish I had found a way to fix it. LOL.

My bid card and my pledge manual. They would nearly qualify as antiques!
