Cutie Marshmallows



As the packaging says, "Lets enjoy the new marshmallow generation!" I think it might be a bit easier if these yummy snacks weren't in the shape of the cutie mascot on the front... xxxo

There's No Need To Fear, Cute is Here!

Kutie Kiddles



Kiddles Dolls had their heyday in the early 70s and are tiny--hence their charm and name! The Kiddles could be worn (Lucky Locket Kiddles) and even sniffed (Kola Kiddles and Kiddle Kolognes). Their oversized eyes gave them an innocent air, and groovy outfits made them extra cute. Hmmm... where might mine be? xxxo



Cute as a Ponytail

Ponytail was a cute King Features Syndicate daily comic panel (like Dennis the Menace or Family Circus) created by Lee Holley in 1960. Along with with her boyfriend Donald, Ponytail became quite popular, adding a Sunday color version in 1963 and appeared over 300 newspapers. Dell Comics published a series of Ponytail comic books, consisting of new stories. It ran 12 issues, with cover dates from September 1962 through December, 1965. Dell Books later published a series of cute paperbacks. Charlton Comics also put out another 8 issues of the comic book starting in 1969. In newspapers, Ponytail was discontinued in 1989, and Holley retired.

Scrub-a-Dub Cute



Ever think that bath-time could be fun? With this Little Red Riding Hood Japanese washcloth, it sure would be. From the bunny handing Little Red a carrot to the sweet yet devious fox, it's an adventure in cute lathering. Hello there cutie washcloth! xxxo

Cute as a Bizzzy Bee

Wow - I wish I had one of these! I'd love to make a patriotic doll with wigs, clothes, accessories and a throw rug! I'd be just like Nora, she's the bizzziest bee of them all!

Bunny Kit = Cute



No surprise that for my birthday I got some cute gifts; this won the "Hello There Cutie Prize." The tin box has the most adorable little girlfriends working together sewing a toy bunny, with a stylized "white rabbit" (like the Chinese candy) on the front. Inside is a kit to sew a felt bunny, which I'm going to craft with Mom this w-end. Living the hello there cutie life... we love it! xxxo

Thanks for the present Jojo!!!

Gumby is Cute

He was once a little green slab of clay. Gumby!
You should see what Gumby can do today. Gumby!
He can walk into any book, with his pony pal Pokey, too.
If you've got a heart then Gumby's a part of you.

Just Add Water–And Cute!

Sea-Monkeys are a trademarked brand given to a variant of brine shrimp or Artemia salina. These cute critters were first marketed in 1957 by Harold von Braunhut (who also invented X-Ray specs) as "Instant Life". The name was changed to the much cuter sounding to "Sea-Monkeys" in 1962. The name "Sea-Monkeys" was chosen because of their playfulness, like monkeys. Exaggerated advertisements and packaging depicted smiling creatures, underneath these pictures was a disclaimer that stated, "Caricatures shown not intended to depict Artemia."

Teapigs Are Cute



Teapigs is a UK green tea with 137 times more antioxidants than a normal cup of green tea. The makers claim it is the "super hero of teas"... I say it's the "super hero of cute." xxxo

Cutie Cookies



McDonaldland was a fantasy world inhabited by Ronald McDonald & a multitude of characters. In addition to being used in advertising, the citizens of McDonaldland (Hamburglar was my fave!)
were in a traveling show that went to McDonalds locations as well as utilized on toys... and cookies!!! The cookies were sooo cute that I often played games with them instead of eating them. Hello there cutie cookies! xxxo

Friendly Neighbors Are Cute


This sweet image is a 1930s book illustration entitled "Friendly Neighbors." And who wouldn't wish to be friendly with birdies feeding worms to their chicks? Or a curly-locked lass in an adorable blue ensemble? I do, so this hangs on my living room wall. Hello there cutie neighbors! xxxo
