One of the things I love most is Rainbow Brite as a little girl I wanted to be rainbow brite and I pretended my horse was starlite the most wonderful horse in the universe.
I had a rainbow belt and my dad rented the movies for me all the time.
( me age 5)
As a kid I was sick most of the time and didnt get out much..but the bright colors always cheered me up.
I had a rainbow brite night gown and I remember I wanted the doll so bad!
My parents finally took me on a very long flea marketing trip searching and searching for it until we finally found one she was a smallish one and in good shape.
Times passed and I have no idea where that doll went..But recently my mom bought me a large newer one at a flea market and I also found a vintage 1983 18 inch one that I have up for sale in my shop.
Last christmas I was lucky enough to receive a dvd box set from my husband.
When we were dating I introduced him to the cartoon ( he had never heard of it ) and he introduced me to Scooby doo and the Boo Brothers :)
Heres a box set I plan to buy pretty soon of 80s cartoons..I plan on eating cereal and watching it.
My husband has asked me what I want for christmas and I think I found what I want :)
Heres the doll in my shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/113286581/vintage-1983-rainbow-brite-doll

Heres the necklace I made for myself awhile back ..it looks great but it is HUGE
I pretty much never quit loving Rainbow Brite and I think I even love toys and cartoons more than I did as a child.
