Vanity runs deep in my veins, I believe I got this from my Grandma Hoerth who aged very graciously and never complained about getting older; she just looked amazing doing it. I had always hoped that I would have her genes and age as well as she did, but alas no such luck and I don't believe that I am as gracious about aging either.
Although I am actually enjoying my life now more than I think I did in my younger years. I think that I have grown and not just aged which makes my life more rich and have more depth. As I get older I find I am more like the Willow than the Mighty Oak and things don't bother me as much. I also value fun so much more and I don't feel guilty for having it. I always had fun in my life but often I felt bad for being "silly" or "immature" etc. But now, Who Cares? I like what like and love what/who I love and for the lack of better words "I am what I am."
So overall I have to say that getting older is actually pretty cool, except I don't believe that I am getting wiser just more forgetful (not so cool.)
Since I really don't mind if people know my true age I thought it would be fun to post pictures of some my favorites over the years and see if anyone can guess how old I am (or what year I was born in.) While gathering these pictures I was really struck by how things have changed! And now everything that I enjoyed as a kid is a vintage collectible; How strange is that?
Post a Comment how old you think I am based on these pics and clips (as a side note some of things may have been just before my time but during my childhood they were still popular:)

I'm going to guess 48 years because I played with all these toys and that's my age!
Awesome blog! Thanks for including my shop.
My guess is 42. When do we find out if we're right?
You are both are close but Betty was almost right on the dot. I turned 43! Hard to believe everything I loved as a kid is vintage. Worse yet some of things my kids played with could be considered vintage Crazy!
Thanks for Playing it was fun!
