I mean, she's not that much younger than me (7 years) and, as Chris notes, Holly was ubiquitous in the 70s. She did remember Holly when she saw the picture. I forget sometimes how she was just a toddler when I was grooving to Megos and Monkees reruns.

All Holly Hobby stuff, my 5 year old daughter would LOVE it right now. I'd sport the radio and phonograph. Great stuff!

I had a James Bond 007 wrist radio just like the Holly Hobbie one.
