Does anyone remember Dixie's Diner? I was going through some childhood stuff of mine in my parents' basement and pulled it out (and set it up!) I remember playing with it in the early '90s. My best friend also had one and we would set them up to make one big diner.

There were eleven characters - I had all of them except for two (Darren and Frankie). They have magnets on their feet so they can be attached to the floor. They came with a disc that had their names on them and they could stand on those, but I never used them. I still have them, but didn't take any pictures.

I love all the fun accessories. The coffee cups and plates are so small. I still have two spoons which is amazing because they're teeny tiny! Even smaller are the little billiard balls that go with the pool table. I think I just have one left. The jukebox used to light up, but it doesn't work anymore. (I mean, it has been over 30 years since I've had this thing!) I had a pinball machine but I think one of the legs broke so I threw it away, but now I wish I hadn't done that. I am missing a few accessories that I never had like a fridge and a sink and I think they had little Coke bottles and hot dogs/hamburgers you could purchase.

I also love the fun menu signs and posters on the walls.

Oh, and I love the pink convertible! They also had one in blue, but of course I had to have the pink one. One of the headlights is missing and it looks like one of the back tire rims has fallen off, but it's still in pretty good shape.

Anyway, this was one of my favorite toys and I thought I'd share. It came out in 1988/89.

Hello! I’ve been lurking here for a few months, but this is my first post. My childhood dolls were Molly and Felicity and I was recently organizing them with all their clothes and accessories when I was visiting my parents’ house (they’re kept in storage in their basement).

My mom had the patterns for both dolls and she made clothes for them (Molly especially has a lot because I did have her for two years before I got Felicity) and I thought I would share them. I don't know if they're all accurate to the time period they represent.

I was supposed to be going through all my boxes I had in storage so I didn't have time to dress the dolls in all the outfits, but as you can see I couldn't resist getting out Molly's birthday dishes and treats!
