Holly Hobbie Gets a Makeover
Remember Holly Hobbie? I had a jewelry box with her likeness when I was 5. I always imagined it was Holly herself who invented the hand-slap game, "See, See My Playmate." According to a trends column in USA Today (published in Fall '05), Holly has a new look for the 21st century.
In her gingham bonnet and patchwork apron, she was a '70s icon of wholesomeness. American Greetings relaunched the classic country girl this year, but next year Mattel is introducing Holly Hobbie & Friends — starring Holly's great-great-granddaughter. The nod to her heritage? A gingham patch on her cap.
The original Holly will always have a special place in my heart.

Suz,
The very first bedroom comforter and accessories my sister and I had was Holly Hobbie :-) Memories....
I'm a little bitter about the new Holly Hobby. That's all I have to say.
Annie,
Ha, ha! I know what you mean. No words necessary.
