when i saw that these were on sale on the internet for 1.25 each, i almost bought one.
talk about memory lane.
they came flooding back.
in the form of green sticky stamps.
piecing them together like tetris blocks.
the pages growing stiff as the layers were added.
mom let me lick them myself.
whenever i found one or two.
sometimes i'd find one in the bottom of a purse.
or the back of the drawer in the kitchen.
and in the book they went.
grandma had a slightly moistened sponge that had to be used.
green stamps only on fridays.
only in the upstairs bathroom.
on the sink ledge.
stamps lived in a plastic bag until they moved to their
permanent home.
(just in case i decided to wallpaper the bathroom with them?)
-
i don't ever recall 'spending' the hard earned filled
green stamp books.
was this the 'stay at home' moms guiltless pleasure.
what exactly could you buy with these stamps?
lots of unanswered questions.
lots of memories from a photo.
good stuff.
am i the only one who remembers these?
worth 1.25 each!
