Do you remember Pop-it beads from the 1950s? Mum had a chain of creamy white pop-its (which I always thought were called poppets until I tried Googling it) which she wore quite often. As a young child I used to love playing with them – either when they were around her neck or just on their own on a table. Great fun. Going through Mum’s jewellery box I came across them the other day. A real blast from the past and with the current trend for anything retro they are probably worth as much on E-bay as anything else in the jewel box! Not that I would part with them – too many memories.
