I had a flashback to my 80s childhood today.  At church, I noticed a nice smell (probably someone's perfume or lotion) that reminded me of something.  After a minute, I realized that the smell was exactly like the scent of one of my charmkins. Charmkins!  
Charmkins were really great little tiny scented dolls that I loved.  They were maybe an inch tall and they all had flower or plant themes and names.  Each Charmkin came with some wearable item to be displayed from, like a necklace or a barrette.  I really hope my mom still has my collection because they were so great.  I wish I had them right now to look at.
Anyway, I think this is going to be something I collect.  I imagine they are hard to find, but I am going to start checking thrift stores and garage sales when I have opportunity.  It's so nice to think back to the fun times I had playing with them.

They may be in the attic. I'll check up there before it gets too hot.
Love, Mom
