Holly Hobbie!!

They've made her over into a new modern version that makes me SO MAD but seriously the old version is just so awesome to me.

(To the pricks who have destroyed Strawberry Shortcake, Holly Hobbie, My Little Pony and nearly every other childhood memory I have leave them alone and come up with an original idea you lazy fuckers!!)

Ohhh Dear... I think it has something to do with time/age... all that is old is new again... something like that...
My mum always says fashions etc always goes 'round in circles'... it's just a matter of how many 'round in circles' you get to see in your lifetime... lol
Gosh I'm into the second cirlce with some & sadly third time with others & I don't even consider myself 'OLD'...

WHY are they messing with Holly Hobbie! I LOVED Holly Hobbie as a kid. I even still have my Holly Hobbie metal lunchpail! I use it to hold crafting supplies so I see it daily! :-) If you ever do replicate this, I'll buy it!

Now I'm mad... stupid people who remake everything!

I guess I like this. I know older also means simpler and unfussy. You never know, though... what happens is this: "new" Holly Hobbie attracts fans, who then learn more and find "old" Holly Hobbie. And, those fans start to love the older version.

One can hope... xxx

Are you upset because you think they have taken an old piece and cut it up to make something that can be currently used....or is it that you think they work on the piece is too modern?

My daughter (who is 46 years old) has a set of pillows that my mom embroideried for her about 40 years ago and the embroidery is as fancy as this one....if maybe not even a little more so. Her work was very beautiful!

I agree, the old Holly was the best. One room of my bedroom had Holly Hobbie wallpaper! I had a stuffed Holly as well. Ahh, memories! LOL!
