Penny Pony

If you are from the mid-west, you may just be a fan of Meijer stores. They were founded in the town I grew up in and I have found memories of visiting these stores as a kid. Whenever I would go to Meijer with my grandmother (she called it Thrifty's), she would let me get an ice cream cone at the Purple Cow, the in-store ice cream counter. I remember always asking for the Superman ice cream, although I never really liked the taste of it. The best part of the store was Sandy. For only a penny you could ride her for a couple minutes, or longer if no one was waiting a turn and you had a handful of pennies to spend. Every Meijer store had a Sandy, and they still do today! My girls are growing up on this tradition too. So I, of course, had to document their love of Sandy with photos and scrapbook pages. I had created a page for Hattie several years ago (you can see it here) and recently, when Fancy Pants sent me their newest collection, Childish Things, I knew I had to use it for Josie's page.

 I love this collection. The colors, the patterns, and that cute sparkly horse is absolutely perfect!!!!

I know the rest of Fancy Pants Pocket Chicks love this collection as much as I do. You'll have to see what they've created using it. They have tons of inspiration on the Fancy Pants blog.

Thanks for letting me share. These are sweet memories of childhood that seems to go by faster everyday!
