When my parents moved, they unearthed a box of my old stuff that contained a selection of LISA FRANK FOLDERS!!  There’s quite a selection of them, but my favorite LF characters were always the Ballerina Bunnies (first photo).  That folder, thankfully, is in near perfect condition. 

I also spent a summer saving and scrimping to buy the 48" plush Ballerina Bunny from the Lisa Frank catalog.  I remember it was $40, and my mom said if I could make $20, she would pay for the other half, so that’s what I did; selling potholders (that I made with those loops of fabric on a square loom) and other little crafty things that I made.

I don’t even know what to do with them, but I’ve got them.  I should look into framing the Ballerina Bunnies, at the very least. :)

“The World of Lisa Frank” – A Short Film – Enjoy this brief but fantastic look into the whimsical world of Lisa Frank and her cute and color-infused HQ in Tucson, AZ.

In this first known “on-camera” interview with Lisa, who happened to capture the heart of every little girl in the 90s, Mrs. Frank reveals a few secrets about the brand and admits that the world of Lisa Frank is  candies, unicorns, rainbows, hearts, music notes, stars, fantasy, glints, jewels, and everything that makes kids happy and smile.

The lil Lisa Frank obsessed fan in me is so happy right now.

Enjoy!

I think I should add “Work for Lisa Frank” to my bucket list.

Where did you even find a lisa frank sweatshirt?! When did she make clothing? I am positively green with envy.

This is from the 90s!  My deep Lisa Frank stage was from about… 94-96ish?

My parents recently moved out of the house I grew up in, and they’re renting it out, so we had to clear out the attic before the new tenants move in next weekend.  This was in one of the boxes!  Along with several classic Lisa Frank folders (I’m SO using these for my artwork) and some American Girls Collection paraphernalia.

I remember there was a Lisa Frank catalog where you could buy things like clocks and giant stuffed animals and of course, clothing.  I probably got this from the catalog.  The Ballerina Bunnies were my favorites.

Unfortunately being in an attic for 15 years isn’t very good for clothing, since the sweatshirt hasn’t aged very well.  It may fit, but the fabric is all pilled and rough.  I’ll probably turn it into something else, though!
