Rainbow Brite Journal

 I write in a journal fairly regularly, but I don't think I would ever use this! I would probably just set it on the shelf and use it for decoration. Unfortunately, the boyfriend says that we currently have too much stuff that we never use and is just there for display LOL. This looks like it was one of the newer pieces with retro style. I remember buying some Strawberry Shortcake stuff (a chair, trashcan, etc.) from Fashion Bug and if I remember correctly, the store also got in some stuff like this.

Rainbow Brite Lunchbox

I think that they only made one of these plastic lunchboxes back in the day, though I vaguely remember seeing a red version. I thought it would be fun to post this today because I recently found the thermos at a rummage sale! It has a little scratching along the surface, but it was 25 cents and cute so I couldn't pass it up. It's currently sitting on a shelf next to the Alvin and the Chipmunks lunchbox that my boyfriend found for me.

Rainbow Brite Poncho

It isn't vintage, but this Rainbow Brite poncho is sure adorable! It makes me wish that my niece would wear this. I guess I could buy a smaller size and squeeze it over my cat's head, but I like my eyes too much to risk trying that. It comes in a few different sizes, and I saw it listed online, but I've also seen it at the mall.

Rainbow Brite Cake Decoration

I saw this listed as a "plaque," but it's made by Wilton. Wilton makes those great shaped cake pans that I actually collect. My best friend and boyfriend made me a Winnie the Pooh cake for my birthday, we made the best friend a Care Bears cake for his birthday, and we made my boyfriend a Garfield one for his. I also have a Barbie, ALF, and a few others hanging in my kitchen. That's how I know that this is actually a Rainbow Brite cake topper!

25th Anniversary Shimmer Blue

As part of the 25th Anniversary celebration, the company released a few of the horses. Shimmer Blue is the horse that goes with Moonglow, in case you missed the blue/purple connection! I missed seeing the horses in the store, which is sad because I kind of like them. They remind me of the "adult" horses on the new My Little Pony cartoon.

Canary Yellow Mint in Box

It's not often that you come across a Rainbow Brite doll Mint in Box. I saw this version of Canary Yellow on the Rainbowbrite.tv site (accessed through the Wayback Machine). I think it's fun to see how these dolls came when we were kids, probably because I haven't seen one since 1986 LOL.

New Red Butler and Romeo

I mentioned before that the newer Rainbow Brite dolls come with a plastic/PVC sprite instead of the fabric/cloth ones. I actually think that Romeo looks really cute in this version. I can see a row of these along the top of my desk, which I don't actually have. (What kind of writer doesn't have her own desk??) If you're interested in buying one, you can check Amazon.
